Blogging Away

As most of you know for the last few weeks I have had some major blogging problems.  First my background  disappeared, then my followers disappeared.  This was followed by several other minor blogging problems.  Since school started back and I was back at work there was little time left for me to work on finding a new background that I liked.  I never knew there were so many blog backgrounds out there.  Today, with DH out of town, I finally had a chance to sit down and do some maintenance work.  I liked my old background better, but this one is ok.   This has been a rough week back at work, we have two new Assistant Principals, and lots of new students.  A new school was built close by which lead to the redistricting of many of our students, we lost some and gained some if that makes sense.  It also hasn't helped that it has been almost 100 degrees everyday this week.  Those poor kids aren't getting to go outside for recess and it is their first week back.  I hope that the weather breaks soon and things cool off, it would also be great if we could get some rain. 

New Look

After blogging for a little over a year now, I thought it was time I gave my blog a new look. Little did I know how involved I was going to get or how long it would take. I checked out several sites that have blog backgrounds, there sure are a lot of them out there. Boy, I gave myself a headache just looking for a background that I liked. I decided that I just had to walk away from the computer, and come back to it. After taking a break to go to a cooking class, (more on that later) I found a background that I liked, or thought I liked, after changing everything over, I decided that I really didn't like it and maybe this hadn't been such a great idea after all. I mean I could be sewing now instead of sitting in front of the computer. But in the back of my mind I could hear my friend Becky, talking about how much time she puts into her blog and I was determined to have a new look before midnight. When I found The Little Window Shop, I was so excited, they had some wonderful backgrounds. I was scrolling down the page looking at all of the options they offered when I found it, Red Swirl. Well, if you know me, you know that red is most definitely my favorite color. I had to have it. After I figured out how to "get it" then I had to rearrange everything on my blog, and of course try to "spiff" it up a little. I will probably make a couple of more changes, but it is 11:15 and I am to tired to think anymore. Let me know what you think of the new look? How often do most of you change the look of your blog?
