Time to order checks...

Fun in the Sun / Sassy Stripes


Pink Ribbon / Kate


Geobright / Let it Snow

Well, its time to order checks again. For those of you who don't know, I am a check fanatic! I am all about finding a new, different design for checks and seriously get excited when its time to purchase a new box. My last design was the "Let it Snow" design above. I was a bit concerned when I bought my last box that I would not get them used up before the season is over. Ha. Guess what, thanks to the last 4 days of snow, I was able to make it through the winter with these checks. HA.

As you can see above, I found many cool check designs - especially the pink ones, named after a friend of mine. Kate, don't get a big head now. I did decide to go with these pink ones! I just couldn't pass them up. I'm really not a pink kind of girl, but think I need a little color in my life right now. There are multiple designs for each check above. The are so cute.

Quote ~

I received this quote the other day and thought I'd share.

"God determines who walks into your life... it's up to you to decide who you let walk away, who you let stay, and who you refuse to let go."

p.s.

By the way, I'll be back in action once I get this new template thing figured out. I've been missing in action for the past few weeks and miss all of you. I don't feel the need to expand on the last few weeks of my busy hectic schedule.

HELP!

Ok, so I have just spent about 1 1/2 hours online looking for a cool new blogger template (yep, to get on board with the rest of you bloggers). Needless to say, there are not many "cool" ones out there...but, I did find 2-3 wordpress themes that I like. When I downloaded them, they were saved as a zip file. When I attempted to download them into my blog, I get an error. How difficult can this be? Does anyone have any helpful hints for me? I have very little patience for this kind of stuff. I'm even more frustrated with all the darn advertisements that take you to the same website on each click. Its annoying.

Do I need to download just blogger templates? or does MySpace layouts work for this?

Am I suppose to be downloading wordpress themes for my blog?

I guess I don't know the difference.....HELP!

Interesting Solution...

I received this email today ~ thought I'd share!!

Like a lot of folks in this state I have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit.

In order to get that paycheck, I am required to pass a random urine test, with which I have no problem.

What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test. Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check because I have to pass one to earn it for them??

Please understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do on the other hand have a problem with helping someone sitting on their ass. Could you imagine how much money the state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check?????

The verdict....

Just got off work, so I'm going to keep this short and sweet. I know that inquiring minds want to know...so, I took Sheely to the vet this afternoon. The vet said that she couldn't tell at this point because its too early. She did notice that Sheely is starting to "develop bags"...but, it could either be a bad pregnancy or that she is really pregnant. So, we scheduled another appt in 3 wks as a follow up. I am suppose to watch her belly area to see if it starts getting any bigger or not. If her belly is bigger in three weeks, they will be able to do an ultra sound to verify the results. Not much news to report tonight. Gotta scoot...good night.

Shower curtain shopping...

Ok, so while I am sitting at home, sick and bored on St Patty's Day, I decided to look around on the internet again for a shower curtain in hopes I'd get lucky! I moved my "old" shower curtain to Ryan's bathroom tonight and decided to move forward on my mission to find something I like. DING DING DING! I got lucky and found this one at Bed, Bath & Beyond...and fell in love with it. I'm concerned about the greens in this curtain not matching what I have on the wall. So, I may have to repaint, but will go pick this up tomorrow and see what happens. I guess this will test my ability to match colors! I plan to pick up some mocha rugs to offset the green a little. Then, when I get my choc brown vinyl lettering back from Uppercase Living, I will put this on the wall as a decoration. I think this could be a nice looking bathroom once I'm finished. I also found a few more that I liked, but are very simple and probably a little too plain but can also be accented easily. Enjoy!!!



Mocha - pretty simple, but would look good with my green wall as well as mocha accents!










Chocolate suede - cute and simple and would look good with the green wall...and accent everything else with browns!












Stripes - cute, but has a tint of green that might look good with my green wall. I think this has too much reddish-pink in it! Too busy.





Anyway, let me know what you like. I'm slow to make decisions, but am now forced to make one quick or I won't be showering in my own bathroom for awhile!

p.s. I cannot post a new picture of Ryan's bathroom yet until he gets the new mirror hung up. My "old" shower curtain looks great in his newly painted bathroom! I came home from work the other night and he had put the new countertop, sink and faucet in. Looks so nice! I'm amazed by what he can do. He thinks I'm crazy for being so proud of him but doesn't realize how handy he really is. Not alot of people can just replace a countertop, sink and faucet without it being a 2 day project. He did it in 2-3 hours.
