Joshua and Bevin

So the new WordPress interface… impressive!

I’ve been working on my website design lately, so naturally I started thinking more and more about the blog I’ve been neglectful to maintain, and what that will look like after the transition.

The good news is that I can probably create the whole of my website through WordPress (this is one powerful bugger), but the bad news is that I will have to create the whole of the website through WordPress. Ugh. This of course means that I need to figure out how my mockup is going to work out in WordPress and decide whether any of my elements are even feasible.

Yay for having a techie programmer partner!

Besides all that, the interface for WordPress in general looks so much nicer with a lot less clutter, so I think I’ll be more apt to update this thing. I’m working on a coordinating Twitter theme, so I can just link to my feed right from my site, and it will all match and look mostly seemless.

Lots of random things have happened, lots of random things to talk about, so here we go with a few of them.

Josh and I received a beautiful sewing machine from his mom, and a just as beautiful french oven from my mom for Christmas. Pretty exciting stuff, although finances so far prevent us from doing too much with either.

Okay so this afternoon is an ADD afternoon. I’m ending this, but I’ll wander back here soon for another phase of blogging.

This is a test post from my iPhone while Josh fixes the bit that he broke on my website. Ha.

Been awhile.  Working on various things.  Knitting is a little lackluster lately, due to major things that need re-doing.

It’s hard to talk about all the things going on because I haven’t kept the blog updated.  A lot of it will seem out of the blue.I’m thinking of making this blog private and just for me.  I find that I don’t write in it because of how I feel those words will be taken, or how much or little I’d like others to know.  Odd that I care more about that these days.

In any case, I want to update the blog (maybe I should start calling it a journal?), I just that more often than not the things I want to talk about are personal.

I think I might move the majority of the content on this blog to a more private location and attempt to maintain this blog in the current location as a “cool stuff I find that you might be interested in or thoughts I’m having about the world around me” type of thing.

We’ll see.  In the meantime keep an eye on my Twitter feed, since I’ve been using that a helluva lot more lately. 

I got a call late last night from my mother.  Apparently the woman who sold us the window blinds didn’t bother to call me after calling her to set up a date for installation.  So my mom did, and didn’t tell me about it.  Well, until last night anyway.

So they’re set to come some time between 2:30-3:30pm today, which pisses me off as an arrival time because at this late notice it’s harder for Josh to leave work early.  Plus it means that a lot of the furniture moving needed to happen last night at like 11:30pm because I can’t lift it without Josh.

And now of course it’s today and I have a lot of cleaning and moving to do to get the place organized so that they have room to move around.  We didn’t even get to moving the bed last night (we’re not sure where to move it), and I’m just supposed to hope that they come late enough that Josh is already home, or I’m supposed to call him when they get here and stall that window installation.In other news, I baked some real goodies last night.  I started this cinnamon bun bread recipe, which is essentially a cinnamon roll in 8×8 pan form.  I had all the baking done about half an hour after Josh got home, but you actually have to let the thing rest for 30mins before making/applying the frosting so I ended up putting that off until we were actually going to eat it.

See, I had this grand scheme that I’d have that done to snack on after Josh got home and then I’d start on dinner.  While it was resting I started on dinner and promptly had to forget about it until afterwards because making dinner was so hectic.  We had spinach/cheese lasagna.  Mmm!

That kind of got complicated quick.  I had to pre-cook the noodles, make a bechamel sauce, chop up all kinds of things and use the food processor to mix another sauce, blanch and chop the spinach… lots of things to do!  It was totally fun though, and in the end it was very delicious.  Totally worth the effort, and I think I’ll definitely make it again.  I’m always a fan of food that I can make that tastes like you went out to eat to get it.

Granted, we had dinner a -tad- later than we would have preferred (7:30pm) but otherwise the evening was peachy.  I ended up making that glaze/frosting for the cinnamon pan of doom and we had that for dessert.  This morning Josh and I had another piece since anything with cinnamon is automatically okay as a breakfast food.

Today I make: more iced tea.  I drank most of it yesterday. 

Yeah, I know that it’s been awhile.  I just don’t like posting here when I could hear comments back from friends/family asking me why I didn’t talk to them about it.  I guess that’s why you wander off and don’t post for an extended period.

So, I’m here!  Hard to believe maybe but it’s true.  I’ve been using Twitter more and more often, and it should be simple to find me there, aside from the updates directly here on the blog.

I feel like anything I’d say at this point would be more of a catching-up for anyone reading the blog, but I’m not in the mood.

I’ve got a few people that are being particularly annoying lately, and some of them are plainly being idiots.  Bah!

Wow I’m really not feeling this blogging thing.  I can’t talk about what I’d like to anyway.  I’m going to go catch up on phone calls for the morning.
