Well crap I thought I had an okay design, but there is always something wrong somewhere and the one I had on today decided it didn’t want to show comments so here I am back with this one until I work on a different one. So just look over my fumbling and hopefully I’ll have something different up soon. Like I said I hate having the same one that I see all the time now. Thanks for being so nice and thanks to my 2 last commenter’s on the last post that liked the one I had up. The force seems to be against my template tonight.

This is a Monday update about the blog and my weekend. Well, I decided on this theme for now. I am hoping I put everything on here that was on the other one and haven’t totally messed it up. Let me know if you like this one please. I’m also thinking about upgrading the wordpress, but I don’t know if it’s stable and if people are still finding a lot of problems with it.

I will get back to my regular routine of dropping today and hopefully get some other things done. E-mail always piles up with tons of spam even with filters and sometimes a lot of family and serious mail gets put in there so I always have to go through and make sure I find it and that gets to be a royal pain.

My weekend was pleasant and we didn’t get the storm that was predicted so we had two good days outside. Unfortunately I didn’t get a lot accomplished with commitments on the Internet, but I’m sure with Summer everyone will be spending more of their time doing activities with their family. We can’t spend all our time working.

Bill normally does the grocery shopping, but I went with him this week because he said he gets tired of eating the same stuff all the time. Since he is the one shopping he could mix it up, but he doesn’t. At any rate I’m not allowed to go any more because he spent 70 dollars over what he normally spends. I never said I was a good shopper, in fact I am one woman that hates to shop.

As noted in my last post I’m going to change the look of my blog so I was looking at this site that has free wordpress themes. I saw a lot of neat ones that I haven’t seen before so now I’m undecided. I thought I had chosen the perfect one for me until I saw these.

I know I definitely want 3 columns, but some of the two columns I liked also. I guess I can always download the ones I like and try them all out. I just need to make sure I’m backed up so I don’t lose anything.

I love the theme I’m using because it reminds me of old world just like me so it’s going to be hard to give it up. I know a lot of people get tired of their themes and are always looking for something different.

I kind of like this Rainbow Garden Theme, but I think I saw someone I drop EC’s on using it. I want one that other people don’t use that much and the one I’m using now I see all the time.

If you’re looking for something different yourself you may want to check out these themes and see what they have to offer. Hopefully when you drop by Monday I will have everything done and no mishaps.

Apparently this template has gotten very popular and I see it more and more so I’m looking for something  close, but a little different. I may be changing it over the weekend so if it goes down then you will know why and know that I am working hard to restore it. I’m not the brightest light in the house so I’m not sure if everything will go right, but I always try hard.

I have resisted upgrading this Wordpress version, but I may try doing that also, but the last time I upgraded I lost everything and they told me that I should have deactivated all of the widgets I was using before I upgraded. Well, I just thought I would let you know before I try it tomorrow or Sunday so now that you know I will wish you a great weekend and hopefully see you Monday.

Many people have started up home businesses to try and make ends meet and even though many you can start on a shoestring budget you still have to advertise and spend some money for printed items like business cards and postcards to send out for your business, plus novelty items like pens, hats, magnets and those types of trivial things, but they don’t have to cost a fortune if you use VistaPrint.

VistaPrint is being used more by many small entrepreneurs and businesses because they give so much more and they have quality items for those of us on a budget and it’s very easy to customize anything you want. Sure you can spend lots of money at the printer down the street, but do they give you the quality you want for the least amount of money? No, I didn’t think so all you have to do is compare the prices and you will see that VistaPrint gives more for your money.

You can even create your own custom signature stamp. When you do payroll or if you send out a lot of business letters it’s so much easier to just stamp them or have your secretary do it for you so long as she’s authorized, it’s not like she would be forging your signature, however I’m not sure about all the technicalities there. It is still handy if your lazy like me and get tired of signing your name all the time.

Bill told me a story about how he wanted a guitar when he was young and no one ever got him one. It made me feel very sorry for him so a couple years ago I went down to the pawn shop and bought him one for 125 dollars and then took it to the music store to get new strings and have it tuned. When I gave it to him he was very touched. We bought a child’s guitar for Nate at Christmas and he and Pappy had a ball Pickin and a Grinnin.

He was trying to teach himself the chords so I downloaded everything I could find. He played with it for the longest till I suggested he should go take some lessons, now what’s wrong with that suggestion? Maybe he thought I was telling him how bad he was at any rate he stopped trying to learn. I can’t figure these men out or how they think. I was even going to pay for the lessons. I told him that him and Nate could go together, one 6 the other 60, now how cool is that?

He also told me about a pair of cowboy boots he had wanted when he was a little boy and cut out the picture and gave it to his MOM and she said she would order them for him. They were black with turquoise and purple with white up the middle and everyday he would go to the post office and ask the Postmistress if his boots had come yet. They lived in a small town in VA. so of course she knew little Billy and she would say no, sorry not yet.

His poor old Mom didn’t have much money and God love her she didn’t want to disappoint him so she gave him hope, but thought he would forget about it in time, but he didn’t. Every single day he went to the Post Office with hope in his little face and everyday the little guy was disappointed, but for a whole year he held on to that hope never wavering until he started liking girls.

He still remembers those boots and still likes to tell the story and he is so good at relating a story that no matter how many times I hear the story I still laugh or feel the pain that a small child would have felt. If I ever find any of those damn cowboy boots the way he described them I swear I’ll buy them even if he never wears them he can have the friggin things bronzed even though it wouldn’t be quite the same, he would at least know I adore him.
