Don and I are barbecuing today. We’ve had leftover dove in the freezer and decided to finally make poppers with them. We shishkabobbed them with bacon and cheese. They were delicious. We also cooked some Johnsonville brats, but didn’t even getting around to eating those. There will be plenty of leftovers.
Do you know what I realized? I have no post categories. I have all posts just in the “Everything” category and that’s it. When I first started this blog, I didn’t really care about making sure posts went into the right place. Maybe I should do that sometime…
I’ve also been playing around in Illustrator a little bit. I want to get more familiar with it and actually start drawing more. I have some old pieces I did, mostly just copies of characters that are already out there (Hello Kitty, Bugs Bunny, etc.) because I was just learning. And I am not creative enough to make up my own. They never turn out very well. The ducks in this layout actually turned out very nice, considering I just started drawing.
A project that I’ve added to my list is to compile a big list of different resources and websites. I have tons of bookmarks that are sort of separated into different types and I want to get them more organized and have an easier way to view them. I’ve been looking at link directories, but I haven’t come across any I like. I want it to be very very simple.
There’s only a month left of school. Then I graduate. I can’t believe it. I remember my first day of freshmen year. And now I’m almost done. I’m so excited.

Well, I fixed my layout in IE. It seems that the header was causing something. After a little trial and error, the site looks good in all browsers. Next I’m working on my sidebar. For different sections of the site, I want the subpages linked in the sidebar. I know it can be done, but I haven’t had a chance to sit down and completely figure it out. I’m about half way there.
Last night I went to Fite Nite sponsored by the Kappa Sig fraternity at the local college. It’s their 47th annual Fite Nite and they have people, mostly students, who box each other. It was pretty fun. Some good fights, some bad ones. A few knock outs. Then me and my mom were going to go see my cousin’s band, Nothing More, but they were over by the time we got there. They’re pretty good actually. Then Don and I went to Wal-Mart because we were bored and didn’t want to go home. So we bought season one of House MD, one of our new favorite shows, and some other stuff. I got some great scrapbooking things on sale.
Sunday is my dad’s wedding. I’m excited to see my family that lives in Colorado that are coming. My dad’s two sisters and they’re kids. I haven’t seen them in two or three years. There’s one that I haven’t even met, she’s about two.

We have ducks! I am in the process of uploading a new layout, but I have to go to work in the middle, so it’s not quite ready. Some templates are still messed up and I doubt it’s valid. So everything will be fixed later. Content is still up and everything, but the layout’s just a little buggy for a few hours. Enjoy though. 
Edit: I finished coding almost everything. The only thing left is accessibility.
If you notice any errors or weird things, please tell me. Also, I haven’t checked how it looks in IE. That’s on my list. I also got new smilies, thanks to beccary.com.

I hate when people use Webdings (or Wingdings…whatever) and make that heart. I don’t have the font and it always shows up as “|”. It’s annoying.
So I just finished sanding and staining some furniture. We bought it a few years ago at an unfinished furniture store and I finally got it ready. The stain is a medium brown that looks really good. My bed’s a similar color and all the furniture will look pretty good. I still have one more bookcase to do, but it was painted red so it’s slow-going. I had to strip it and it’s still not all off so we have to sand it. It’ll probably take me another few hours, but I’m going to leave that for another day.
I also have a big project in Stats due tomorrow. I finally started working on it earlier. I have all the answers, but I need to put them in sentence form and write some junk about them.
Oh and my new quilt is up. I likes it. I’m in the process of making a new layout for this site. I don’t seem to be having much luck though. My inspiration is not that great and I suck at drawing in Illustrator.

It’s been ages since I posted. My spring break was okay. We painted a lot (my room). It’s almost done. The black and red took a lot of coats to cover up, which makes sense. I am a horrible painter. And it’s not so fun. My arms get tired after about five minutes. Shows how much I’m out of shape. Actually, I’m really getting out of shape and I need to start exercising. Today I’m sick though.
My brain is not functioning correctly so I’m done.
I am working on a new QBee quilt. It’s gonna be great.
