Before my diagnosis came back I scoured the net looking for real life images & references to help me understand what I was dealing with. So I'm sharing this with you, hoping to aid anyone elses who finds themselves in a similar situation.

Inspired by Amanda

I was inspired by Amanda to update my blog - She did such a wonderful updating hers. I know it's new, but it was so.... < insert unflattering adjective here>... so I played around for a few days until I got something I sorta like. I'm sure I'll be changing it again - and I definitely want to adjust the colors a bit to make it easier to read - but it's late and I can't do anymore this evening.

It's already a 'guess I'm sleeping on the sofa' night - and I have far too many of those. (Don't want to wake the hubby by climbing into bed; quiet is not my forte.) Anyway, perhaps I'll get the chance to fall asleep to a rerun of Project Runway, or "The Village" (I think that's the title; I'm so embarrassed to say I watch that show, but it amazes me. I used to work for a computer dating service, so the whole concept is a bit intersting to me anyway - and since I married rather young - well, let's just say the lifestyles on that show certainly differed from mine, and since I've lead a rather b-o-r-i-n-g life, I try to hang out with interesting people, and live vicarously through them. It's worked pretty well so far.)

See you in the morning :D

I like it! It's really a unique layout. The white on pink is a little hard to read, but like you said, you were going to tweak it anyway.

This is so cool that you made it yourself. I know some HTML but no CSS, so it's damn near impossible for me to write my own template (sigh)

Looks great, congrats!

    When I first discover I had cancer I said - better today than 20 years ago,(much less early 1800's)

    This Essay on Nabby Adams shows just how far we've come.
