it is settled.

So I think I have settled here, at 'panda shirt.' I left diary-land once before, came to blogger under a blog by the name of 'tiger shirt,' but had to leave after a few months due to morning sickness and the blog template making me ill!

So here I am again. I am still tweaking the layout a bit. That's only thing with blogger. There aren't many to choose from. I just had an idea. I'll be right back. Ok. Looks like this option is the best one. I'll still play with colors here and there (after all hex. color codes ARE one of my interests) :D I kind of like the orange and pink but not sure about the purply color.

My three favorite color combinations in the whole world are: light pink, light orange, and white. In fact, my aunt is making me an afgan in those colors.

I think I am going to like being back at blogger. Diary-land was really acting up for me the last couple of weeks. And, the truth is, being at ONE diary spot too long (for me, anyway), can become uninspiring. I suppose for most it is quite the opposite. Seeing months upon months upon years of archives is inspiring to them. I am the opposite.

Moving on and fresh clean starts - organizing life into chapers - that is how they seem to unfold for me anyway, into chapters. I don't always like how it does that...but maybe that's one explanation as to why I feel the need to move on after awhile.

Perhaps the only reason I stayed with lower case g was because it was my pregnancy diary. I did not want to abandon my life as a pregnant woman because I had dreamed to be pregnant for so many YEARS prior!

Anyway, all reasonings aside, this is my new home.

I have to make this first post quick, as Johnna is sitting in her high chair in the other room snacking on cereal and mucho diluted 100% white grape juice. I always feel guily leaving her alone in there. She loves to look out the window from her chair, so I don't know how much she actually minds. Usually, she lets me know when she is absolutely done!

This morning...was a disaster! We had a playdate, and Johnna and I were both ready by 9:30. We had our jackets on (it was raining and fiercely blowing!), bags packed. We were all set! Until I reached into the caveman bowl for my keys! And they were not there! I ran around frantic for fifteen minutes before I gave up and told Johnna we were staying home. I was so upset I could have cried! I was really looking forward to playing with Johnna and the other babies.

I called John, and he told me he was on his way home from work and would give me his keys to use. However, ten minutes later he called and said TREES were down and blocking the highway. So, he took the back roads and would drive us there. By this point, it was almost 10:30, and they only play til about 11-11:30 anyway. So I thought it would just be a hassle for John to drive us out there and then have to come back and get us in a matter of less than an hour. Also - which I had thought of before as well - maybe trees down and loosing keys was all a sign that we were not meant to venture out that morning. Maybe something back would have happened.

So, we stayed home. Had lunch. Johnna and John napped. And here we are! Oh - we also got a call from John's folks. The wind caused a lot of damage in the neighboring town and blew off most of my inlaws' roof! WOW!
