friends and blogs
So last night was Kat’s birthday dinner @ East Side’s. Yay for friends & food! 
We got to see Kat & Kurt, Karen & Ian (with Karen’s new hair complete, love the red streaks!), Mitch, and Nina & Paul! After dinner we hung out a little at Future Shop and at Chapters, too.
A strawberry daiquiri would’ve made the evening even more wonderful, but I’d taken the most heavy narcotic I had to try to get rid of a really bad “hatchet” headache that started on Friday night (so the alcohol with that possibly still in my system might’ve been a very bad combo). That headache had lasted 18 hours, so a little less than the 30-hour one I’d had earlier in the week. I absolutely hate how much these headaches put me out of commission!! At their worst, they are a 9 out of 10 on the pain scale (worse than labour pains!) and I feel like I don’t even want to move an inch. The headache is made worse by lying down, but sitting up is really straining as well, so it’s a “lesser of two evils” thing. Right now the headache is gone *knock wood*. Which is good because when the kids come home I have some Father’s Day plans in store for Paul, including cooking him a nice dinner. We’re going to take a rain check on our Father’s Day morning plans (including a nice brunch out) and do it next weekend instead.
So I posted some cute pics on Friday, but it was another reminder that I’m not quite finished tweaking the layout of my blog. I love the colours of this theme, but I want something that won’t have the pics overlapping the column to the right (perhaps I’ll find a theme which does not have a column to the right)!! At least Paul got the automatically-posts-to-LJ application fixed (yay! thanks hon!). But yes Karen I will look into finding out how to place the pics behind a “cut” for LJ, not sure how I do that from here though. :S Once I get my theme settled on, I will fix up my website accordingly, and will add my “blogroll”. Which includes my IRL friends as well as some popular blogs online. Also I registered a couple store names on CafePress and plan to open a couple blogging-themed stores so stay tuned for that. 
so many ideas, so little time! I think I need to focus less on the “incoming” (reading other people’s stuff online) and more on the producing (in my own little growing online world)! I got over my “blinkie-block” last week so hopefully that will inspire me to keep going. I have quite a few requests to fill for blinkies and siggies, and about a million plans for designs and blinkies, etc!!! Hopefully next week will be a productive one!

Hey Kris!
Why don’t you do the archives by years instead of by months? Just a suggestion.. or you can resize the pictures before posting like I do for my facebook.
Many thoughts… hope something works out because I do love this background!
