New Templates and Other Things
As you can see, I've changed my blog template. I seem to get bored with my template every few months, so I've switched to a blue one. We'll see how long it lasts. :) I like the image marking each section of the sidebar (the three squares), and I like the font for the blog entries. I'm having a bit of trouble getting block quotes to work correctly, and my title doesn't link back to the home page (though that's just quibbling). And is it just me or does the text in the headings look a bit squashed? I wonder if it's possible to adjust the kerning. Hmmm. I know just enough HTML to be dangerous, so I may tinker with things a bit.
I worked a few extra hours yesterday. It was worth it; I'm slowly getting caught up. My hope is that by working extra hours through Friday, I won't have to work on the weekend. I have Monday off, and it would be so nice to have a real three-day weekend. Then I can work on the two reviews I have in the works as well as my next Romancing the Blog entry, which I need to start soon.
When I arrived home last night, there was a key in my mail slot, which indicates that I have a package. Unfortunately the key wouldn't work. Between last night and this morning, I spent 20 minutes trying to open the stupid package bin with no success. I'm going to the post office at lunchtime to see what they can do for me. I have a feeling that after all the trouble it takes to open the bin, the package will be from a book club. I belong to three, and I've probably neglected to send in one of the reply cards saying that I don't want a shipment. Oh well. Life, and mail delivery, is always an adventure.

I had that problem once with my key not working. Turns out the mailman jammed a large package in there and the lock thingy couldn't turn to open it up. Grrr. But a supervisor from the post office actually came out to open it immediately, so that was nice.
Nicole,
OK, the weirdest thing happened. After spending so much time that night and the next morning trying to open the bin, I went home for lunch, tried again, and it opened immediately. Go figure.
I can only think that maybe the snowfall led to some ice blocking the lock. It had warmed up a bit when I tried again. Whatever the reason, it was still weird.

Nice template! Question: that thing on the side bar, the eye colour. You wear coloured eye lenses?
Lenses? I need coffee. Seriously, I do.
Maili,
Yes, I have contact lenses in seven different colors--then there's brown, of course, which is my natural eye color.
I realize that it is ridiculous to have contacts in seven colors, but last year I put aside a chunk of money on one of those work "caferia plans" for dental work and I ended up not needing all of it.
So December comes along, and I still had hundreds of dollars left. I had to use it on something health-benefit related, and if I didn't use it all by December 31, I would lose the money.
So I went to my eye doctor and bought five different colors of contacts. I bought so many boxes, in fact, that the manufacturer sent me two more colors free.
So now I have seven different colors. I'm wearing blue today.
:)
