What A Mess


So I’ve moved. No, I’m still here in my overpriced San Francisco flat with the sloping wood floors and a neighbor below us who apparently loathes the pitter patter of little feet above his misshapen head.

I’m over here! On WordPress. Is anybody out there? I feel so lonely, excited and utterly overwhelmed. I thought I could make the switch, lickety split. Because as we all know, I can do ANYTHING.

Uh, no.Turns out I just might be slightly retarded.

So please dear readers, bear with me. Someday this site will be super duper amazing. Just like that chocolate covered corn dog and the extra large caramel mustard smoothie I had at the mall the other day.

I promise.

      OH MY GOSH! You noticed. Yay. So much more to do. You are officially my first visitor.

      Sadly, I am fresh out of sea scallops.

      I feel like I’m on another planet over here.

      Feels good to be off that darn ventilator. And now I can reply to EACH comment. I’m so excited.

    Now if I could only figure out to change this awful washed out gray font color to black…

      Thanks Elisa. I know I made the right choice, just might take some getting used to. Like those new underwear I bought the other day. Not sure how I feel about the whole crotchless thing.

    Whoo hoo welcome back. Love that you called it a blob! But feeling kind of insecure about my theme now! I will just go rock back and forth in the corner crying.

      My blob thanks you. You have a great theme – I had the same one…

      Rocking in the corner sounds REALLY great to me. I could use some peace and quiet.

    Oooh, look at the fun new font that pops up as I type! That was more of a thrill than my phone on vibrate! Word to you and your snazzy new blob.

      Oh, the old put the phone on vibrate trick. Fun.

      Must go, my phone is vibrating.

      Thanks Jimmy. Your blog looks fantastic. And I bet you didn’t even shed a tear trying to set it up.

      I’m not saying I cried. Just saying..

    Awe! Hi Sweetie-this is VERY cool! I love the look. Perhaps I will convert as well. Looks slick-LOVE your comment on the flat in SF- I rememeber mine fondly with the sloping floor and the wooden clog wearing upstairs neighbor.
    Happy Thursday!

    Oh, HERE you are!! I’m glad you’re safe and sound, I was worried that the Internet had eaten your blog or something. You can tell just how tech-savvy I am … I’d be terrified to switch! I even get nervous adding widgets. or gadgets. or twinkies or whatever they’re called. lol

    • Amanda
      Posted December 11, 2009 at 6:59 am | #

      Yes, I’m here. AND NO ONE KNOWS IT.

      I’m not quite sure I did the right thing. I may have installed some twinkies incorrectly.

    I recently made the switch myself. It is a pain to move everything over from the old site, but it was worth it. I guess I should not be using past tense, because I still have 90 or so entries to bring over…a project for Christmas break.

    Congrats and Welcome!

      Your site is beautiful! I wouldn’t change a thing…

    So then that means the hot, pantsless techie nerd was booked? Or did he leave his pants on and complicate the whole process?

    Despite the troubles, I like what I see. Good luck with the rest of the move.

      The hot pantsless techie nerd is my husband. Except he’s not wearing a
      shirt either. So, he’s naked. Trying to fix my blog.

      Thanks though, you made it sound SO easy!

    L-O-V-E your blog. It’s awesome…and totally artsy fartsy. And I’m all for the artsy fartsy.

    Thanks Jessica. I’m VERY fartsy right now. Just ate a bean burrito.
