Technical Difficulties, Please Stand By

Hi everyone – like the new look?

Yeah, I know it loads slower than a child walking to bed when there’s fireworks and pony rides outside. I can’t figure out why. It loaded so quickly when I saw other people’s versions of the template. Figures.

I’m no expert at this, so you’ll probably see some tinkering over the next week. In addition to being a Domestic Zero, I’m apparently not-so-hot in the technical field, either.

Don’t worry, I won’t be doing this for anyone else anytime soon. Because with the amount of time I’ve put into screwing around with this template, and photoshop editing, and finding a background that’s passable-but-not-quite-right, I’d probably have to charge $9,280. And that’s assuming minimum wage per hour.

So if anything looks out of whack, let me know. If you care to share thoughts, I’d love to hear them, too. But only if they’re positive, OK? This was my first attempt at template re-design, and I’d like to someday try again instead of forking over money I don’t have to someone else.



Haiku Friday: New Year’s Resolutions

Haiku Friday
My resolutions?
Eat better, exercise? Not
specific enough.

Spend more time with my
family, maybe even
be more domestic.

Look for the good, even
in a bad situation,
and be more helpful.

Prepare a facelift
for this blog – a new look for
a new year, new me.

I also will share
more stories with you – a look
deeper in my head.

Find time for lost loves:
knitting and the hum of an
old sewing machine

I want the new year
to be my best year yet – a
year of renewal.

Are you making resolutions for the new year? If so, what are they?

To play along for Haiku Friday, follow these steps:

1. Write your own haiku on your blog. You can do one or many, all following a theme or just random. What’s a haiku, you ask? Click here.

2. Sign the Mister Linky below with your name and the link to your haiku post (the specific post URL, not your main blog URL). DON’T sign unless you have a haiku this week. If you need help with this, please let me know.

3. Pick up a Haiku Friday button to display on the post or in your sidebar by clicking the button at the top.

REMEMBER: Do not post your link unless you have a haiku this week! I will delete any links without haiku!
