It Was Time for a Change

This wasn't really a change. I had this look some time ago. Maybe four years ago. But it seems that the different options for the layout haven't changed in the years I've been blogging. What a pity. It is a wide selection - kind of - but mostly it is the same 12 or 16 templates in different colour schemes. So, not truly a huge selection.

But change the title and the image at the top, finagle the colours to work more for you and suddenly life is good!

And since that ferocious kitten Siobhan has taken over, this is a good look for it. (She is ferocious, but she loves me even if her idea of great affection is sinking her teeth into whatever available square inch of my foot is visible.)

This will be a positive thing. Sometimes you just need to change a couple of things to make life really nice. I can't change the house or renovate a room, so I change what I can.

I'll be posting about some things this weekend: the unbelievable weather; the new Star Trek movie, which is awesome!; Siobhan, of course; and the Installation dinner.

You can thank the kitty for this. I figure she should be immortalised on here.

So welcome to a new chapter in blogging for me!

I didn't see the old blog look but I like this one. Wouldn't you think though after this many years Blogger would come up with something new?

My son and DIL have a vicious cat, but it doesn't attack them. She isn't quite as nice to others. ;)

Thanks for dropping by and leaving a comment about the Xanax. I couldn't count the times I've been to the ER before I found out about panic attacks.

I like your page no matter what the color or style!
If you want a completely new look and don't want the small selection at Blogger, go to the internet for free templates.
I haven't tried them, but another bloggie friend has and her page looks nice. I have been thinking about changing my page for some time now, but for as often as I'm there these days it didn't seem worth it. Maybe yours will inspire me to make the move.

We have a cat, Greta, who isn't very friendly with most people. She hangs out in my son's room all the time and likes him but the rest of us she could care less. Sometimes it'll seem like she's being nice and I'll go to pet her but she doesn't allow that for long and if I don't stop at a certain point, I'll have major scratches to attend to.

I thought the previews for Star Trek looked good. We were going to try and see a movie this weekend but haven't gotten to it yet. Hubs wants to see The Soloist. I heard the book was
10x better. I sort of want to see Angels and Demons.

Hope you are having a nice weekend. :)

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...

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...

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...
