My lack of blogging has left me feeling like an incompetent fool. I have been trying for the past hour and a half to create a slideshow to post as a header. While for some it's an automatic thing to do, and at one time it was for me as well, I find myself creating error after error and getting frustrated, yet... I'm still determined. I forgot how to read HTML which is BAD! I studied it once to create my very own website. In which I did and I was damn proud of myself! At one time I could fly through codes and rewrite them to fit my needs. Um.. not so much anymore. The old saying "If you don't use it, you lose it".. well, that saying is true and I am proving it to myself day after day while revamping this ole' girl.
Right now tho, I am beaming. But that wasn't the case about 5 minutes ago (or for the past hour plus).. I managed to upload the photo slideshow BUT I was disappointed.. it wasn't to my specifications. I wanted it to be "just right". Of course Photobucket and Blogger didn't offer exactly what I wanted.. so after looking at the HTML code for hmmm about 5 seconds.. I switched it up (while I was holding my breath, crossing my fingers AND toes while doing so) .. and VOILA.. it worked. I swear I felt like I just climbed a mountain.. if Reina wasn't sleeping.. I would have jumped up out of my chair and did a full on Toyota moment (that's giving away my age isn't it?). But alas, I clapped like a crazy school girl, saying out loud all the while pointing the computer saying.. "Aha.. you SOB.. I did it" in which then commenced into full song.." I did it, I did it" (you know.. when you start bopping up and down with your arms swinging from right to left) Yep.. I did THAT!
Now.. at this point and time, you are probably realizing I have done lost my mind. I would conquer. After having 3 children and a puppy recently added to the mix to contend with.. (and let's not forget the darling hubby) I have learned that if I don't become silly.. I'm just gonna cry or even possibly lose what is left of any sanity I had. My kids look at me like I'm crazy half the time.. that's good tho.. I'll keep them guessing.. that way they are too scared to do anything that they are afraid I might go bat shit crazy on them for. It works to my advantage tho and once they get older they will understand. But for now... let them behave and have me in a good mood!
I am going to be spending more time uploading pics from my phone .. I always just save them onto Facebook.. it is inconvenient that I have 4 places I store photos.. my phone, iphoto, facebook and photobucket..it's going to be a job that is for sure! But one that I am anxiously awaiting to do. I can't wait to see the finished product...
Okay.... now that I have spent most of the morning playing on Photobucket and posting my thoughts on it.. its time for me to eat. My stomach is rumbling and the coffee is just not doing the trick anymore.
Love & Light!
