Awesome . . . of which there is no price
7:29 PM |
*Pats back* Yup, this new template rocks!
Spending the evening -- up until 4:30am (ish) -- trying to figure out how to create a template on Gimp was a pain! I found this awesome program called Artisteer. I really love it, so I downloaded the trial version of it. Sooooo excited!!! **happy white girl dance** After spending hours hunting down backgrounds, images, and perfecting the whole layout, I go to save the file and it tells me it cannot save in the demo! Shit, I guess I can just upload it. Score! . . . Uh, no . . . Every single page is covered with "trial" on it!! Ack!
While I was sitting up reading and waiting for the cats to finish eating, I started mulling the program over in my head. "Meh, it might not be too expensive." This morning I looked at the price lists. Aaak, $50?!
Later this afternoon, after puppy kindergarten, I decided to break down and buy the program. Between my saved up allowance and some leftover money from the tax return provided enough money. Yay!! And I have some left over for books and the like (*ahem* sports bra)!! Yay!!
Most of this evening, I've been sitting around watching the 'tube and making the new layout!! Hey, I did yoga this morning, walked Juneau down to the mailbox trying "heel", and working through her class doing "heel" and other things, so I reason I burned a lot of calories today!
In the words of Po, this layout has "awesomeness and attractiveness of which there is no price."
In other news, I went by the rec center this afternoon. I wanted a tour of the facilities, because I haven't seen what they have for a long time. Unfortunately, they were closed due to summer maintenance. Next week they will be done and ready for a tour. We figured that with the reimbursement from hubby's employer would make our bill $14/mo! Depending on what the tour shows, I'm getting a year membership next week!!

Love the new layout! Hope the rec center ends up having great stuff, too. I would love to have something like that near me. Heck, I would love to have ANYTHING near me that was accessible! I work for a hotel owned by a major university but we don't have access to their facilities (stupid) and the Curves that used to be just 2 itty bitty blocks from my house shut down the week before I decided I was going to renew my membership (buggers).
Yay I can comment again!
Good luck with the rec center tour. I hope it's awesome :)
@Karen: Sheesh, that sucks! Our curves here leaves a lot to be desired :P
@Roxie: Thanks!!
Are you getting your rest? Girl 4:30am? How do you do it!! I need at least 7 hours of "beauty rest" or I'm toast!! Hugs!
@Joy: Usually I crash around 11pm! It was so strange that I wasn't tired. Even more strange my body waking me up after so little sleep. I need about 7-8hrs "beauty rest" as well *^_^*
