Hey Look…
It’s a halfway better looking template…
And I know I have ignored this blog for the past month and a half…maybe more…but life happens sometimes. I am trying to simplify everything in my life though so I have more time to do the things I want to do, rather than the things that just need done.
My new policy is that if I have some bit of clutter that I move around from place to place, and it doesn’t really have a place of its own, then it goes into a box to be donated. There is still clutter around, but it is mainly doll house and miniatures supplies/items/works in progress. I’ve even managed to kill off quite a few houseplants (odd for me) so there aren’t even as many of those to keep watered.
Ryan is coming home for a week, the first week of September. I am also taking a week off then.
Today Mom and I redid part of the kitchen. The landlady didn’t want the paneling painted, but I did get rid of the country blue wallpaper.
This is what my kitchen looks like now:
At least the side with the sink. The opposite wall has the refrigerator, microwave and a metal shelf with lots of glass jars and colored bowls on it. And that curtain material? It took -months- for me to find it, but I absolutely love it. Retro in muted colors. The painting you can sorta see over the stove is one I did in college, it is ribbon candy, I just never took it down after Christmas. The flowers are fresh cut zinnias.
Now I just need to get the rest of my house that clean…
As for this template, the blue text needs to go away. And those smiley faces…I assume those are new with the theme I was redoing, but they have to go. I’ll get to it soon. Really. I try anyway.
Sometimes…
I waste insane amounts of time trying to do things, just to realize there was an easier way to do it many steps/minutes/days ago.
For example…this new theme I want to do. I’ve went through every theme in the theme viewer looking for something similar to what I want (which is something very similar to the default WordPress theme). I haven’t been able to find anything though. What I sort of like has things I don’t like. So I knew that whatever theme I would download I would modify til it was unrecognizable. So why didn’t I just modify the default theme? Because of those rounded corners, but tonight I finally decided to look at the code to see if it was just a part of the php that could be removed, only to realize they are images-not code. I don’t know why I would think that they were code instead of images. Anyway, I will stop wasting my time searching for something ‘almost’ what I want and just modify the default, but not tonight.
