New Look

How do you like my new look? I love it. For those who don't have bigger screens, click here to see a better picture of the whole layout.

Louise at Louise Franks Designs (formerly Adori Graphics)is responsible for this awesome look. She is one in a million. She does blog makeovers for free.(Right now she's doing all of them for free because of the economy) Due to some changes, she's charging for some things, but she's still the best deal around, in my opinion, for blog design(this includes buttons, headers, and everything in between). She also does free makeovers for anyone struggling with a long term illness, has lost a child, or someone who uses blogging as a way to deal with their grief. Her philosophy is that if you have a fabulous blog, you'll be motivated to blog more.

The best part about it is that this look is completely custom to me. No premade template here, baby. Louise was so easy to work with; she answered all of my questions until we achieved the look that I wanted. I feel like this blog represents me, and everything flows so much better. My new URL also makes much more sense. When I first started blogging, no one had catchy blog names--they were just basic. I don't have to say "I like writing" in order for you to know what this blog is about. You can just tell. I'm finally happy with my blog.

Exhaustion+Adrenaline=Scattered Thoughts

The Reality of Happily Ever After is giving away a free blog makeover. Who wouldn't want a fabulous makeover for their blog. If you feel uninspired when you look at your blog, go on and enter!

I just got back from PT(physical therapy) so I''m pretty tired and sore. Please pray for the strength to study for my test. I'm a mixture of exhaustion and adrenaline because I there are a few loose ends I need to tie up. Then, I'll be on Spring break!

In other news, I designed a blog button. Yes, you heard that right. It was designed by yours truly. Add it to your blog if your want. It's on my sidebar.

*To put the button on your page: Add a gadget, then put the code in the one that's for HTML*

Ch- Ch-Changes

I'm in the process of updating my blog. If some things look funny, just know it's all going to be fine! Those of you who have visited me in the last hour probably think your eyes are playing tricks on you...they're not. This will all be over soon and we'll all have a nice pretty blog to look at!

When you visit tomorrow, my blog should be ready for its closeup. We'll celebrate with oldies and stories of the crazy things that have happened to us these past few days.

UPDATE: I've picked a layout that I like, but it has moved some of my comments around. For example, the comment from my last post has now moved to today's post (I now know that the comments section for every post is at the top instead of the bottom). This is a new kind of Blogger template, so I guess you could say I'm taking it for a test drive. I will have music back as soon as a I can figure out a way to make the playlist smaller. Any ideas?

The Longest Goodbye

This is what I said it felt like when describing what we have gone through with my grandmother. For four years, we've watched her slip a...
