Once again, I shirked my duties (NOT wearing plastic, Ali! LOL!) and made another set. Look here and forgive typos - gotta get dinner started but first need to clean the kitchen and run a load of laundry - they are calling me cinder-belly around here lately. Such a glam life I live! Gotta luv it!!!

I was just a surfin' around, looking for ideas and look what I found! I LOVE this bed as well as the room treatment around it.Delia Ripple Bed There are a lot of cool ideas here!

ReasonablyClever.Com: Christopher Doyle Presents the Mini-Mizer! Cute little passtime - especially if you are into the whole Lego scene! Some material not suitable for kids? Well anyway, I have never seen Lego people in bikinis! LOL!

I posted on 4/21 about the shoes and dress I ordered, right? Well, the shoes came today. I was so excited to see the package waiting when I got home from misc errands. SO I get the kids in the house and drop everything and open the box - ewe - I almost puke! Strong imagery, sorry! These shoes were a) THE ugliest plastic canvas and sequinned shoes I had ever seen and b) NOT the shoes I ordered. I am thinking, "I paid $35 dollars for plastic shoes, $7 to ship them here. Now I am going to have to pay $5 more dollars to get them back to Roaman's and then get charged to ship the right pair that I ordered in the first place!" Man, was I ticked! I called them all ready for an arguement. But . . . they were nice and are sending a special packing slip so I don't have to pay for the shipping again! And they aren't waiting for the shoes back, but will ship out the right shoes right away. Hmmm . . . . talk is cheap and my hormones are raging. We'll see.

On a much more positive note, I got the sweetest little baby afghan from my sister Shannon! It is sort of like a pastel rainbow with a white strip in between each color. Very pretty and big enough to last awhile! I am going through the blanket trauma (for me, that is) with my daughter - her blanket doesn't cover her up unless she is in a fetal position and it is falling apart to boot. (What color was it originally? Hmmmm . . . .)A good-sized blanket will come in handy with the new baby! And an heirloom to save, as well. Cool. Made the whole shoe thing easier to bear, LOL! Thanks Shan!

This one's for you, Rose! I saw this and thought you might like it: B01 from Bejewelled. (Needs login and passwords "visitor" and "look") I am wishing I had thought of it. How loverly!

Time to brag. I am especially proud of this new set. Take a look here. Maybe I'll add a java scroll to this one later to preserve the screen placement, but for now I have to go get caught up on housework not done! Bye!

Oh, I just noticed - my blogspot ads are gone!! Yahoo!

I figured out some of my blog problems. One was that I had forgotten an important line of code. Duh. The other is that pesky blogspot ad. It is 78 pixels high and my background is 75 so I can't get them to line up. Know what I did? I signed up for the $12/year ad free space. We'll see how that works out. The really sorry thing is that I can probably FTP this to my domain, but haven't figured that out or set it up or whatever either! Maybe later. But . . . it's pretty much done. Let me know, would you, if you see something funky that shouldn't be - K?

I am trying to work on the blog graphics - this is such a fun set, but can't get my little java scroll to work right. For now, I'll let it hang like this, but there are some alignment problems I hope to fix in a few days. I am torn - on the one hand, I'd like to spend the entire day fiddling around with graphics, etc. On the other hand, I have a baby to prepare for and am getting the "nesting" urge! I need to dredge out the kids' room one more time and make room for some baby stuff. In addition, I have some sewing and mending to get caught up on and I can't even tell you how terribly messy my bedroom is. Door stays closed all day. Yuck! I can't remember how long it has been since I dusted and vacuumed the living room and the kitchen floor? Crusty! I mean it! Plus I have all these crafty projects I'd like to be able to work on and scrapbooking too. Boring post but it's where my head's at right now. I am gonna go clean something so I'll feel a little less stressed out! LOL!
