Check Me Out!

I KNOW! How cute am I? And.. with the help of some free downloads AND tutorials, I did it all by myself. Which is why, yesterday if you were looking at my blog in Internet Explorer, you noticed a tiny little teal line through my blog title and if you could get the dust mites on your screen to read it to you, it was the subtitle of my blog :

“Our worst days are never so bad that you are beyond the reach of God's grace.
And your best days are never so good that you are beyond the need of God's
grace.” — Jerry Bridges

(and, when I looked at my blog on my iphone, it was WAY bigger than 'little bitty'). I finally asked someone that knows plenty, he gave me several hints/ tips that I was too tired to examine, then in the middle of the night I had to literally smack myself on the head because it occurred to me how easy it was to fix. I do have quite a knack for overthinking/ overcomplicating pretty much everything: blog templates included!

I do know what a new blog template is going for these days, since Jen just did such a smokin' job on Coffee Group's blog. So I saved myself a few bucks -- minus the ibuprofen for the headache I gave myself -- and voila! I am, in Stephanie's words: cutified. And I am indeed. Enjoy!

I went to the big Wal-Marts yesterday. Bless. I can totally relate:

Random Thoughts on a Soggy Tuesday

This weekend was the way weekends were intended. Troy and I worked around the house on Saturday and wore ourselves OUT. My current ministry at church takes everything I have out of me by the time church is over, so it's all I can do to even say "good morning" to people on my way out the door to get some lunch and get in bed. So we napped on Sunday afternoon and then did... nothing. The kids played some games, Troy spent some of his birthday money at Lowe's, and I cleaned out my armoire'. Yes, that is NOTHING at this house. We all hung out together and and had a great time.

Then, I guess due to the nap, Troy and I both had insomnia Sunday night. It was like a slumber party, only the one of us that had to get up to go to work on Monday was a little bit grouchy for the party.

It's STILL raining around here. Pretty strange for the desert. Since none of it is finding its way into my home, I'm not sick of it yet. I'm just cleaning out cabinets and getting things done and refereeing the madhouse. Yesterday I took the dog for a walk when it had gotten cloudy, so I thought it would be nice and cool. 15 minutes into my walk, I could tell it was going to be cool and wet. So I turned for home. But it was just a few drops here and a few drops there so I kept going, enjoying the cool and sprinkles. I was about 100 yards from home when the bottom fell out. So, I got in a little bit of a soggy jog, as well. The kids were worried SICK.
