Have you ever looked at a gravestone? On it you will find the date a person was born - and the date that person died. In between is a dash. This small symbol signifies a persons whole existence. When it comes time for my dash to be chipped in, I want to know I lived a full and wondrous life.

What a day!!


Not food wise...........brain wise!! Ack..... my nerves are shredded!!!
As you can see I was in full panic mode in regards to this blog of mine!!!! I tried to muck around and get a new template  (I was over the solid purple) but when I downloaded my chosen one.... I found (over and over) that I needed to unzip the stupid thing. Only thing is... I don't have winzip on my comp. Sooooooooo..... I muck around some more - and after lots and lots of frustrating hours lost (and an overnight sleep...argh!) I suddenly think: hang on, wonder if Mitchell has it on his comp.. maybe I can transfer his winzip over if he has it? Then comes the question.... how do I get it OFF his computer and into mine? I have my nifty little handydrive.. and well, that didn't work BUT I did find a link.. so off I trot...again..... and after a lot more mucking around I find a winzip that I can use as a trial. (I only needed it for one damn template!!)

Turns out you need a degree in rocket science to do this.. so I blundered around a bit more (making like 10 thousand stuff ups along the way.. you should have seen the blog half way through... it was a crazy mess (and I was having a heart attack!!) and then just thought.. stuff it! I will just use another template that is part of this blog program (one of the very boring ones) that I don't have to download. Finally got that sorted and have been playing with it now. But honestly........What a bloody drama!!!!! I have like five or a hundred templates now downloaded that I can't use.. and they were soooo pretty (wails!). Never mind.. this one at least is halfway decent.. clean and bright and I'm not mucking around any more.(Can't quite figure out what I did though.. I thought I lost the background that I pasted earlier only to have it come back... hmmm... I think this computer of mine is playing mind games.) Someone.. please slap me upside the head if I ever start talking about changing templates again.

Can anyone tell me though how to get that stupid embedded photoshop box off my header. I cannot seem to make it disappear. I've picked it up along the way by the looks of it. ((((Shudder!!!)))

Hope you girls are having a better time of it. Have a lovely weekend and speak soon.
Bye for now
