Slowly but surely….

I am figuring out wordpress. But, my lordy, it has taken me AWHILE. I was up until 1:00 AM last night just adding my blogroll. I spent an hour trying to figure out to get my blogroll to update when people have new posts. I love how you can see when someone posts something new. I know there is google reader, but it’s just not the same to me.

J thinks I am being ridiculous when I tell him I NEED to have all of my blog friends listed on my blogroll and I NEED it to show me when they have updated their sites. I don’t care what he says. I like it that way. :) So, after searching on how to make it happen (and trust me it’s not like blogger where you can just add a widget and your good to go) I found a wordpress plug in and got it to work…sorta. Right now it is only showing a few of the blogs in update mode. I am hoping it will resolve itself. Does that ever really happen? :)

I had such a great birthday yesterday! I will do a full recap later, but for now I had to show you a picture of someone who was trying to steal my birthday glory. 

img_4462_rsP thought the cake was for him…and how can I blame him, I did give him a small cake like that for his birthday. So what’s a mom to do….what any mom would do…give up her cake. I felt bad letting him destroy my mini cake because I got it from my dear friends at Wachovia, but…I couldn’t say no. Plus, I knew I had ice cream cake waiting for me in the freezer.

Tonight is GIRLS NIGHT OUT and J has poker night! P will be getting to spend the night at gigi and papa’s.

Have you all changed my domain in your blogroll? :) I’m begging…on my hands and knees begging.

Looks like you’re figuring everything out! I’m sure it can be frustrating starting all over…but it is really cool that you have your own name!!

Looks like your b-day was a success! Hope you have a great weekend :)

Looks like you’re getting it together with the wordpress.
P, is cracking me up how he leans over and bites into the cupcake…I love babies.
P.S. You are welcome as far as changing your domain….I didn’t even remember doing it.
Well, glad all is well.
I’m WAY out of this world jealous that you got an ice cream cake……..wanting one right NOW!

I think Nina must have done it for me when she was updating for me from the hospital, because it just came to this one! Thanks nin. If not, I guess a miracle happened!
