Blog Design, My Bible and Thursday Thunks

Hello Everyone,

Remember back in February when I was having blogging issues so I switched to Firefox? Well if you don't I was having blogging issues and switched to Firefox. lol I just want to say that I love Firefox! I have been using it on all of my home computers and my work computer since then. It really works a lot better than Internet Explorer.

Remember back in February when I posted that I was going to be looking for someone to make me a new blog template? Well if you don't back in February I had decided to find someone to make me a new blog template. Thus began my search for a blog designer. I looked at several people but the three that I liked best were Jennisa over at Once Upon A Blog, Danielle at The Design Girl Blog Design (formerly Blogs by Danielle) and April at April Showers. I know several bloggy buddies who have used all of them. All of them got great reviews.

Now while the other two are great I went with April. All three of them are very talented and do great work. I picked April because I really liked her illustrations the best. All of her illustrated people have different faces and I liked that. So sometimes next month I should have a whole new cute template. Yay!!

Monday when I went to Bible study I left a little sad. I love the class so it wasn't that. I have had my Bible since I was 10 years old. I have had the cover since about 1986. Well Monday I looked at that old cover that had lace hanging down from where the stitches have gave way and it looked a little dirty. I don't want to wash it because I am afraid it will just tear apart. So I thought well I'll take the cover off and just take my Bible. My Bible cover looks great. I had to take out all of my notes, obituaries, book markers from past loved ones and pictures of my brother Ray. I also had to take out a cross necklace I got when I was 20 that I've always kept in my Bible. I didn't want to lose any of it so I just left it all at home.

When I got to Bible study I noticed that the cover is about to come completely off of my Bible. That is why I was sad when I left Bible study. After I left I went and bought me a new cover and a new Bible. I am going to put everything back into my old Bible and put it next to my bed where it has laid for years. I am retiring it. I am sad.

I love Bible study. We are doing "Esther - It's Tough Being A Woman" by Beth Moore. It is great. I was so excited when I found out we would be studying Beth Moore.

13. How would you respond to this letter if you were an advice columnist.

I am an ugly woman. I was an ugly baby and child even! It is a fact. I am 36 now and I have never had a boyfriend, and I am still a virgin.

Due to me not having men in my life, I have poured everything I have in to education and my career. At 36 I am the youngest (and first female CEO) at a big, successful, tech company. I have over 200 personal patents and millions of pounds in investments.

I have everything: huge house, holiday villa in Spain, 3 cars, power boat, a race horse, etc. but as much I try to talk myself into everything being “great” I cannot help but to miss that special someone to share it all with.

Most of my friends are married with kids and I feel like I am gradually drifting away from them also.

Where can I find someone to marry an ugly woman?

Go to Alaska apparently the man to woman ratio is pretty good. Plus they like ugly women.

That was fun!! Now click on the Thursday Thunks picture and check out other blogs that participate.

That's all folks!

Have a blessed day!

Thursday's Thoughts

Hello Everyone,

I have been having a lot of trouble with Internet Explorer I don't know what in the world is wrong with it. So I downloaded Internet Explorer 8. Fixed it! So after that got fixed I decided I would try out the new Blogger in draft. I must say I like the different look of it. It has a few added features. I still wish that they would offer more font styles. I do know how to go into Edit HTML and add different fonts but most of the time I just don't have the time to mess with it.

Yesterday while I was on the phone I thought I heard the Tornado sirens but I wasn't sure because usually they are so loud that I have trouble talking on the phone. I was finishing up my conversation when my boss walked in and said a tornado had just passed over us and that an actual funnel cloud was seen over the city where we both live. Wow I have NEVER sat through a tornado warning without calling my daughter, husband, mother or sisters. So I am just thankful that it didn't touch down.

Last night Lost came on. I am telling you right now that I am too addicted to this show. I can't wait for it to come on and then when it is off I am left wanting more. It's to the point that I get mad because I have more questions than before. It is so frustrating! I need to finish up on some of my projects and leave it alone.

I have been tinkering with blog designs. I've designed the one on here now but I am messing around with graphics, digital and regular scrap booking software to try to come up with one better. Just one of my projects that I am working on. lol I know there are a lot of people who are doing it and I may just use one of them. Depends on how mine turns out. So I may be on the look out for a good blog designer. Know anyone?

That wraps up my ramblings for today. I hope today goes by fast for everyone cause I sure am ready for the weekend!

Have a blessed day!
