Isn't it purty?? [livejournal.com profile] notasinglelady kindly gave me permission to use her amazing Kurt as a Snow Nymph/Blaine as a Wood Nymph art. I totally fell in love with this when she posted it and I just couldn't stop staring at whenever I went through my picture folders. She's so talented. Further explanation, in case the reference is lost on you, as well as the original art post can be found here.

So, it looks like we're going to New York next month now. Sort of. My paternal grandmother has decided to throw herself a 90th birthday party. She lives in New Jersey, not far from the NY border. Since it would be nice for Martouf to get to spend some time with her while he can, it looks like we're heading out. It helps that she is going to pay for everyone's hotel and rental cars. And flights out of Milwaukee are actually rather reasonable. So, yeah. Looks like we're going. And my mom mentioned that if we did go, she and my dad would watch the baby Saturday night if we wanted to go into New York City to do something. My first thought? We are going to see How To Succeed In Business with Daniel Radcliffe. I hear it's an amazing show and, well, DANIEL RADCLIFFE!!! I just hope I can hubby to agree to my plan.... ;-)

Ballet is going well. For me, at least. The flabby bits are definitely starting to get less flabby. ;-) Martouf still hasn't been back. He's actually getting over a cold this week, so I didn't want to take him. I guess maybe we'll try again in two weeks? *fingers crossed*

Off to Vegas in 5 days!!! Tomorrow is cleaning day to get our house ready for my folks to come stay. And the beginning of laundry to make sure everything I want to take is clean. Yay.

And I think that's it. What's new with you?

It's time for the countdown to WHITE COLLAR!!!!!!! And so, a header a change. Another animated one. I like it. Neal lookin' all suave and cheeky. :-)

Even though I just got the animated Cas layout thing working, I have temporarily gone Leverage!!

The show finally comes back one week from tonight for a 2 week, 3 episode season ending BANG! So, until then, it's the gang.

Then I'll go back to Cas. ;-)

First off, hubs and I went to go see Due Date this afternoon. My parents and brother came over to babysit Martouf while the bro is still in town from Thanksgiving. Then I cooked burgers for dinner. Yum! :-)

The movie was quite funny. I enjoyed and LOLed a lot. RDJ is awesome. But then again, that's nothing new. :-)

And the animated header is up and running. I think I've got it running as smoothly as I can. Still not sure why the "*LOL*" hangs there forever. Must be something with how CS4 processes it. I dunno. But still, not too bad I think. Considering I rarely do anything animated and this was animation with video. My previous animations have all just been the sequential screencaps or moving text. But CS4 can do some pretty awesome things. So, there may be more in the future. We shall see.... :-)

NEW HEADER!!

Contemplating finding a layout that might complement this better. The new promo thing is just way cool.

Image is resized from a header by [livejournal.com profile] kruel_angel. You can find the post here. There's wallpapers & icons & headers. All amazing stuff. Go check it out!!

ETA: I think I like this. I inverted the background so it's now black. I think that works much better. Yes? No?

...and I'm horribly indecisive, I shall leave it up to you my wonderful f-list. What should my next header be?

I finally got the [livejournal.com profile] whitecollar_art comm looking the way I want. Custom layout and profile page. The profile page took FOREVER trying to figure out how the get the font settings (size & color) to override what is apparently the default in bullet pointed lists. I ended up having to define that for each list item as it wouldn't work as a master for the table as a whole. There's probably an easier way, but I dunno... LOL

And yesterday while getting the comm set-up I accidentally pasted that custom CSS into MY PERSONAL LJ custom CSS and completely undid everything I had set-up here. Oy. That was a headache getting it all back to normal. I think it's back to normal. Does anything look wacky to you guys?

And I think at some point I'm going to have to edit all my tags here. I have so many duplicates it's crazy. For example: I have a Stargate tag, an SG1 tag, a Stargate SG-1 tag, an Atlantis tag, an SGA tag, etc etc. Yeah, it's a little messy... And that is going to be a PROJECT. Not looking forward to it, but it needs to be done.

I need to write this all down somewhere to organize myself.

Back here cos no one else cares )

In other news....
Today went just fine. Work was good. Pretty much the same stuff I was doing before with some minor changes as everyone in the mortgage industry has gone batshit crazy. :-)

And new layout. It is now June. Season 3 of Leverage premieres in 19 days. So, we are Leverage-ified. :-)

New header

Had to make a new one to go with the fabulous new icons made for me over at [livejournal.com profile] lemonpunch's iconfest. There's some really awesome stuff coming out over there. And everything made is shareable to go take a look!

Found a layout I liked and thought I would give it a try. It worked!

One thing I don't like is not having the tags visible. I may have to play around a bit and see if I can get that bit to work. I think I just need to shrink the width of the main entry area and then it might fit. This is a link to the custom CSS if anyone wants to take a look at it and maybe give me a hint. Here is the page with the general layout info. :-D

ETA: OK. Figured out how to narrow the width of the entries, but the tags are still showing up in the middle of the page. I can't get them aligned over on the right. Hmm... Perhaps it's just not possible with this layout...

But overall, I think I like it. :-)

Made this one awhile back. Finally got around to putting it in play. Figure new year, new layout. Future!Dean is HOT. So, why not? :-)

Also going through and updating the userpics again. That's always a chore. LOL

This is probably really simple to do, but I'm really stupid about things like this.

I want to center the header menu (Previous Entries, Friends Page, etc) on the page. How do I do that? I've tried looking through the layout comm, but the one thing I found to try didn't work. It just duplicated the links "image."

I'm guessing there's a little piece of code I need to stick into my layout layer. But where? And what? A snapshot of my layer code is behind the cut. If any of you oh so lovely smart friends of mine could help, that would be awesome. Thank you!

Code is here )

Shiny!

I had to Cas-ify my LJ after the season 5 premiere. So, here it is! :-)

Back to SPN journal. I think I want to make a new header, but I wanted to get something up right now.

ONE WEEK TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New header for the new season. :-)

Layout updated.

How do the colors look? Like I said, I'm usually more of a dark background/light text kind of girl, but I think this might be growing on me. Yes? No?

ETA: To view properly, you will need to install these fonts: Clicky.
switch842: (JDM: Window)
Cos I think they're going to be going away when I get home. I have a JDM header I made that I've been wanting to use for awhile now, so I think I'm gonna. Gonna change the look quite a bit, too. I can't get the CSS coding to work for a fully specialized layout, but I think I'm gonna go to a lighter background and darker accents. The header kind of needs that, I think. We'll see. So, anyway, so goodbye to Zac and Jared and Jensen and all them. I know I'll miss them! *sniff* LOL
switch842: (Default)
I'm gonna be futzing with the layout completely. Going for something entirely new. So, if it looks weird, just come back later and I should have everything fixed. :-)

Hm. OK. LJ seems to be having issues. Guess I'll have to come back and play later... :-(
switch842: (JDM: Amused)
New layout. :-P Hehe.

I think it'll only be up for a week or so. I'm actually looking into one of those fully customized layouts. Feeling like a bit of a change. I think I found one I like. Just gotta figure out if I can make it work and stuff. So, yeah... :-D
