A Completely New Look!

I like this a lot, lot more!

I was hoping to find a wider set up with this - the blog only takes up x amount of space and there is all sorts of wasted space to either side of it. I could not find anything that would widen it. However, I did find a new look, set-up and colour-scheme. I shifted around the different blocks and took out the sites that are no longer active, added some new ones in and put the most popular blogs of others that I like to read.

Mary Says... is at the top of the list, followed by The Wonderful World of Nothing, and then a couple of others (new ones) and my next project will be to find more good blogs to look over. There are a lot of them out there. I like good writers and funny stories. Moc Mom would not be a normal stop for me (she's quite religious and I doubt she'll want to become friends with me, heathen that I am), but her writing is better than average (dare I say exceptional?) and funny - especially the posts about dealing with her baby girl. She is a warm, caring, devoted mother but clearly has the aggravations of any parent - and admits it! She loves her child but voices clearly all the frustrations that parents feel but won't admit.

I'll have more to put up as time goes on, and hopefully people will answer the little voting thing that it there. I like this a lot and it is a good change from the previous looks!

Awww, you are so kind to put me at the top of your list!! I still have Michael on my blogroll too although I've haven't visited his page in awhile. I'll have to stop by there soon. I always read James and try to comment often. He's very cool.
My blogroll has been in alphabetical order for some time. It got too hard to manage any other way. But dear Aislinge, you're definitely one I read all the time!

Regarding the side spaces:
I do not know how to do it myself, but there are ways to utilize the side bars. Maybe if you go to my blogroll and click on 'tips for new bloggers', I think that's it, you could find info at that site??

I voted already! And I'll do the meme if I can get into my blog page. For some reason I'm okay at others pages, but can't view my own tonight?

Interesting Aftermath a From Season Five of "MasterChef"

Do I agree with this? You will have to read it first and decide for yourself. I had long since made up my mind before finding this article. MasterChef Season 5 Fixed: Courtney Lapresi Won Finale After Getting Preferential Treatment – Former Stripper Favoritism BY  STORMY ELIZABETH  ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2014 "They say if you can’t take the heat, you should get out of the kitchen, but what if you like it hot? If you’ve been watching  MasterChef this season 5 , you may have noticed that one contestant in particular seems to  be “winning” challenges  when her dishes don’t seem to be quite up to it.  Courtney Lapresi  has been billed as an “aerial dancer” on the show. So what exactly is that, you ask? It’s a fancy word for stripper. You may term what she does as burlesque, but nekked is nekked and she takes off her  clothes  when she dances, so you have to call them as you see them. Plus is it really...

The Longairc-Green Family

This is a family that was on Nanny 911 , the precursor to Supernanny , which airs on Wednesday nights. While Supernanny is a better production and leaves out some of the dopey American-isms of stupidity (such as the opening scene with a much older nanny head whose television showing the family and their issues turns around into a painting on the wall), this show has its value. These families are clueless or don't bother to try and definitely need help. This family is an exception in that the mother couldn't care less what the monsters do and will do anything to mollify them. The father is more consistent and definitely takes a much more disciplinary stance, but the mother undermines it at every step of the way. The two boys are so unbelievably rude, I'd've killed them where they stood. The little girl only wanted a moment of attention and was not doing anything negative, and the mother was awful to her. The nanny, Nanny Stella, spent the first day observing. When she s...

Shocking!

I always open my day at work by starting up my various programs that I'll bounce back and forth between throughout the insanity that is my normal workday. And they are always in the same order: Internet Outlook Microsoft Excel Microsoft Word The timekeeping program, GenPro, is always running. This is not me being unbelievably anal or just a little OCD, this is logic. I know excatly where everything is. It's just good organisational skills. When I open Outlook it is almost entirely for the e-mail. Yes, I do know how to use all of Outlook (well, 80% of it, any way, but since I use my belovèd Franklin Covey Time Management system (the physical book, not the electronic solution), I only use Outlook for e-mail. What is so shocking, you may ask? Be patient, I'm getting to that. I open the Internet and the default page is Wikipedia, in English. I happen to love that site and skim over whatever interesting things it may have, such as: Today's Featured Article The word thou was...
