If you stopped by and saw the mosaic I had in the banner, it’s because something exciting is happening over here. An Internet friend of mine graciously offered to make a banner for me, so I was trying to figure out how to get an image up there. After a few unsuccessful tries…I did it! I did it! I did it, hooray! I still have a LOT to learn about HTML though.
Another sweet Internet friend saw my mosaic and offered to make me a banner as well. Both of these women are Americans. I hereby apologize for any and all American jokes I have made in my life. Americans rock!
Last night was a date night for Honey and I, thanks to his parents coming over to watch the kids. We headed out for a good dinner and did a bit of shopping. It was much needed.
This past week, as part of my spring cleaning, I took boatloads of old clothes to the thrift store. My closet is nicely organized and I noticed a common theme. There is a lot of brown…and black. And a few pieces of white. Oh, and blue jeans. Most of my shirts are of the t-shirt variety, both long and short-sleeved. Pretty lame and boring, but at least everything matches.
When Honey and I went shopping the last time, I branched out and bought one of those fitted polo shirts. In brown. But it has blue stitching and I layer it with a blue tank top. Go me.
This week I was at Wal-Mart and bought a $3 t-shirt. Yes, a t-shirt. But it’s PINK! Last night, I bought another fitted polo shirt, but it a nice, bright, robin’s egg blue! With yellow stitching! And a yellow tank top! Look at me go!
Not only that, but I’m branching out in the makeup department. I wear a lot of brown makeup: mascara, eyeliner, lipstick (taupe-y). I went to MAC to get a new lipstick in my favourite taupe-y shade and it’s discontinued. Not cool enough for MAC I guess. So, I bought a new taupe-y lipstick with a hint of…wait for it…pink! I’m a wild woman.
I got home last night to an email with THREE samples of a new banner, and rumours of a fourth. Decisions, decisions. They’re all so fantastic and creative. I’m giddy. And torn.
I need to dabble some more in HTML to make sure that my new banner will fit, so excuse the look of my site while I try to learn something. I’ll probably just email Tina in a panic at some point. Keep your eyes peeled for the big reveal!
**Edited to add: I put another mosaic up there for the time being. My kids are far cuter than an “under construction” banner.
I saw your banner last night and thought it looked great.
I find I wear a lot of brown white and black as well. I always try to venture away from it but somehow my wardrobe always ends up the same.

You’re so creative with your website. I’m afraid to try anything new it’s all so confusing. Yea for getting wardrobe creative too!

Wow, such change! In your wardrobe and on your blog! Exciting, I am looking forward to seeing what you pick.
When I was pregnant with Marin I branched out a bit in the the whole color of my clothing too. I ware pink now as well.

Sounds like you had a nice date night, and some new clothes are always good
I didn’t see your banner, nor can I see it now. But I’ll just wait patiently until one appears!

You’ll have to give me a tutorial when all is said and done. I am still such an html dummy!

I didn’t see that banner, can’t wait to see which one you choose. I sure it will be great. Glad you got to out with your honey.
I can’t wait to get to the Okanagan and be able to out without kids.
