Jeans and Sneakers

I know.  I know all about how the original background is showing around the borders of the body.  Please, don’t point it out.  I haven’t the energy to sit down and try to either make the bg part of the sides and line up with the actual bg, or figure out how to make the side parts transparent, if that’s at all possible. . .  I’m still planning on changing the entire theme, so it doesn’t really matter anyway.  I was just proud that I did it because it wasn’t defined in the css style sheet like I thought it would be, it was elsewhere, but I still found it and changed it.  Hurrah!

What I didn’t end up doing was designing my new project page.  Well, sort of.  I’m closer to knowing how I want it to actually look, and I’ve made a header for it.  So that’s the farthest I’ve gotten thus far, but when I was done with that, after I turned ambitiously towards putting it into production and actually making the page, I stumbled over the fact that I really want to make the page with css, so that if in the future I want to change the style it will be easy, rather than having to redo the whole thing.  Which lead me to remember about how I don’t know css, and if it were any earlier than. . .oh, say 3am, as it was at the time. . .I probably would have had a better tolerance for trying to learn something new.  I know.  Excuses, excuses.  At least I got as far as I did.  I’m now convinced that I’m going to teach myself this css business already.  It’s just a matter of when.  And Rob has been so sweet, trying to help, he loves to teach me things, but you can ask my sister, who I’m sure remembers, I’m the worst possible person to try to teach one-on-one.  If I don’t grasp things right away, I get frustrated, and angry and start yelling non-sensical things and being an all around pain.  I’m sure Rob would do a beautiful job teaching me this, but I’d probably make him hate me in the process.  :[

Write things down, write them down, write them down.  I had a fantastic idea for something while I was driving home from work on Friday.  Unfortunately, I was driving at the time, could not write it down, and now the only thing I remember about it is that it was a fantastic idea.  I don't even remember what it had to do with.

Speaking of work. . .this will be my last week at this job, thank goodness.  I'm promising myself that I will at the very least, go in to work every day this week.

The search for a job is kind of unnerving still.  I went to Michael's today to pick up some #7 knitting needles and to get an application.  Got the needles. . . .no application.  Rob even got a general bad feeling about the state of the workers there.  It was less than an hour before they got off work, and they all looked so disgruntled.  I don't know.  I'm trying to go with my feelings this time, and my feelings said "don't bother".

I'm excited though.  I found a pattern I thought I'd lost.  I had actually bought yarn for this pattern and then came home and couldn't find it, and yesterday I did find it, hence the purchase of the #7's.  Wyn, if you're reading this, I should have a very lovely golden tunic sometime in the future.  :]
