Changes



I have made some changes
A new template for one
I'm learning every day
Very slowly
How to tweak this
And rearrange that
This time it worked
So, many colors
To decide on
Yikes !!!
I had to do a new pic
For my header
Figuring out my new Photoshop
Isn't easy for a not puter person like me
I'm ok with what I now have
What do you all think ?

In my real world
I had to take Bella into the vet
Old Lady problems
Will have results tomorrow
Why does it always cost over a hundred
To visit the vet
And, again no coffee or tea offered
While I wait for the ladies to do tests on
My dear sweet Bella
Who got confused and thought she was going
To the spa
After that morning of pulling & tugging
I need to go to a spa
Instead, I made a new cup of coffee
Delic !!!

My First Award

Yesterday, I received my first blog award. I was thrilled. Shocked even. Why me?
I simply love the blog that decided to bless me with the honor.
I’ve only been blogging for a short while. Been looking up great blogs to follow. All that beginner … oh, I like that one and that was ok ... wonderment. I melt when I find a blog that combines my love of cats, gardening and writing. If there’s a photo of the Ocean, I’m walking that sandy path with them. They simple invite me in and I just can’t close that screen door. I have to look into their world if only for a moment.
Now, I need to nominate five blogs to give the lovely Grand Honor to … I am thinking about that and will be doing that soon …
Til then, here is my award and may I say, I am thrilled to be Welcomed to Your World …

Before I Become a Crazy Cat Lady

I’ve got to admit that this blogging thing has got me totally bonkers. I’ve tried to redo my template several times. I tried to change the fonts and colors and move things around. I am just not puter savey.

My husband bought me a web page designer and I’ve been going crazy trying to figure that out. I have the demo lady going in one corner and my new web page in the middle with my blog in the other corner. I spent the whole day and had nothing saved.

I was trying to add a nifty photo to my header. Nope, not easy to do. Not if you want to add a title. I finally got it done and it was way too big. You have to resize it. I thought I already had but man was it off the page … literally.

My smart husband comes home from work and sits with me for about a half an hour. He got done more than I did. At that point, I went and poured myself a drink. Figured I deserved it. I went to college. I have a degree. Where did it go? Thought it might be in the kitchen.

I told him I had fried what little was left of my brain, after the … sound effects here … like in a movie … da ta da … dreaded coma. That coma, I swear it took all my smart parts and left me with the goofy … dah … parts. Anyway, I was determined to figure this out. So, I started the morning off with coffee in hand and a cat on my lap. Isn’t that how any great writer / web designer works ?

It’s been 4 hours and I have given up. I went back into the blog and got a new template. I did figure out how to color the background and the titles. So, my look is new for now and in the future I might just have my own web page. I even have the picture picked out … if I can get it resized. I have got to figure out how to get rid of that darn bell that dings at me every time I do something wrong.

I will figure this puter stuff out. I am determined. I am on a new journey to becoming a Crazy Cat Lady. Oh, I think I already was one of those but now I’ll really be crazy with the hair sticking out and the bathrobe twisted and slippers. Didn’t I look like that back when the kids were young? Oh what delightful memories. If I can remember that, why can’t I remember how to do puter stuff? Wasn’t I a super genius before the coma ?

I’m off to battle the world … cat finally got off my lap. Hope I do better at the Post Office …
There comes a time in your life when you walk away from all of the drama and the people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right and pray for those who don’t. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is part of life, getting back up is living.
