Moving Along

I think I went overboard with the blog today.

Dad came over a little later than planned. He didn't want to come over too early since he didn't know what time we got up. Since hubby has to leave for work by 7:30 on Saturday's we're always up by 5-6 (him 5, me 6).

Tiff's flight left at 7am so I expected him around 6:30ish. He decided to stop for coffee and a little breakfast at Panera Bread, so we didn't do breakfast.
We just talked for a few hours, cried and laugh a bit.

He's a lot stronger than I think I would be if I had just lost my mate after 30 years. But that's Dad. He's a pretty well-put-together guy. I still hate the idea of him being at home alone, but we talked about it and we all know it's something he has to do. He has to sort through it all and be there without Mom. But still a four bedroom house can suddenly seems monstrous when you're living in it alone.

Anyway he's doing well and I decided to just chill out all morning.
I've neglected my blog for months and decided to go searching for a new theme.

Next thing I know I found myself going page by page through hundreds of customized themes, copying tons of theme codes I liked to my Google Notebook. I finally quit when I got to page 278. I figured I had searched enough, had copied about 30 code sets and had enough to keep me busy for awhile.

I get bored with page themes pretty quickly and like to change things up.

Then it was a matter of going through the ones I copied, finding one I wanted to use ( I really like this one) and then I needed to customize my title and headings (of course).
Of but then I had to make sure all my headings linked to their appropriate blog page and not the glitter graphic site I got them from.

It was time consuming but good mind-numbing therapy.

All I need to do now is spend a little time adding much over due fluff and stuff to it. That in itself is a daunting task but I'll add a little at a time.

Hugs to you all!
