Last night Vince was out of town, so I decided I wanted to really get the house in order. We've been moving around and getting rid of a ton of stuff in the kitchen and living room, so the house has been an organized wreck! We were both so sick of it, but neither of us wanted to do anything because we didn't even know where to start! I finally got so fed up with it that I just turned on an old mix CDs and started thinking about what I wanted to start with. Listening to the music I was obsessed with in high school/middle school was pretty amazing; Oasis, No Doubt, Panic at the Disco, The Shins, Kelly Clarkson, Alanis Morisette, gotta love it!
While my mind was completely ready to start cleaning and organizing, by body was like, 'Guuuuuh. Stay. On. Couch. Don't move!' So to combat this, I decided to drink some green tea around 6:30pm. Well, my body doesn't do very well with caffeine so I was ready to rage and up until like 3am. If I have a soda with caffeine in it, I usually have to drink it before 11am or noon or I will be up ALL NIGHT. Seriously. Tea with caffeine I usually have to have by 2 or 3pm, and I drank it way after. BUT, I got SOOO much work done! I don't think I'm going to tell Vince what I did and wait to see his reaction when he walks in the door this afternoon. It'll be so awesome!
Anyways, after all that cleaning I was still not completely tired, just had a backache, so I wanted to just sit on the couch. I didn't want to watch Netflix, though, so I re-designed this blog! I was inspired by Katie's Pencil Box (and also inspired to take more pictures!). I LOVE that she doesn't have a bunch of gadgets on her side bar. It's just a header, some links up top, and her blog. So that was kind of the look I was going for.
I still have some gadgets at the bottom, though I think I'm going to get rid of some because almost everything at the bottom you can access from the links up top. Speaking of the links up top, I want to re-do a lot of the information in them. The About Me still totally applies to me, but I want to out updated pictures and whatnot, add new pictures to the Facebook page, (PS: go 'like' me!) as well as finally (!!) complete a post on all my tattoos. My legs are almost healed and ready for pictures, and my arm is finally done, I just have to take pictures of that as well. I got a tripod a few weeks ago and I'm ready to put it to good use.
So, what do you think of the re-design?! PLEASE, let me know if anything is taking a long time to load of if pictures don't show up so I can change some things!
I like! It's so uncluttered and easy to look at, and the picture you chose as your header is so lovely (^_^) It welcomes us to your blog like 'Hey, come relax a while, we're a happy bunch here!' It looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that's the feel you get from it!!! =)) Thanks!
DeleteLike the redesign. The other one--the page didn't freely move-it would hang up and then zoom to the bottom; at least it did for me. Simple is always better!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad this one doesn't do that! I've been simplifying things in my life, so why not here?! Glad you like it =)
DeleteI like it! I really like the colors.
ReplyDeleteYay, thanks! =))
DeleteI LOVE the new design! This is the first time I have looked at your blog on the computer in a long time! On my iPhone you can't see a lot of the things you have. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteSo I am starting a blog...a NEW/different one...because my old one was FAIL. I am not going to share it at all until I get it going some. I'm kinda using it as a journal right now, and I only want to share it when I'm comfortable with it. So I will let you know so you can post my buttons EVERYWHERE!!! hahaha ;] jk.

Yay, I can't wait to see it!!
