Friday

i'll be honest, i'm a little overwhelmed by the possibilities with this new "blogger in draft" set-up but here's the first attempt. you would think i'd love it since the background is wood and if you'll remember my previous header was of our wood floor. one thing i am pleased with is that this new background scrolls down with the posts. if you put a background on with that "cutest blog on the block" the background stays the same even when you scroll down and it bothers my eyes. with these new options i should be excited, but have you clicked on the background option? there are quite possibly 400 different choices! and changing text color isn't as self-explanitory as i would like. they don't mean what they say, or say what they mean.

on top of that i'm a little particular about the color of the post font; i want it to be readable, as well as the sidebars, and i don't know that i'm satisfied with what i've chosen. and then there's the header: i think any kind of fancy header might be too busy so i'm stuck with plain text. agh!

all this to say, don't be surprised if i go back to the old layout, or just leave it like this for years to come.

but here's something i've settled on: mr. stainless steel kenmore. while we weren't wanting a new refrigerator we got one anyway and i must say, the water is a nice feature. sam might miss opening the door in that awkward way to get water but i think the rest of us enjoy the new simplicity. come try it out, it's delicious.
