Another weekend has gone. I didn’t get too much accomplished. Well, I didn’t have anything I wanted to do but there was plenty to be done. I just did the very minimum I could to get by… washed diapers, ran the dishwasher, and sat on my ass tinkering with my website. I like tinkering with it.
I managed to add a Vegetarian/Vegan Recipe section using RSS Feeds from Vegweb.com. I like it because because I can look up recipes without ads, and now so can you! My biggest challenge were the menus. I still don’t have them perfect. Sometimes I love Joomla, sometimes I just want to go back to Wordpress and be done with it. But I’m staying with Joomla. It exercises my brain, and after listening to kids whine all day, I need that.
Not much to look forward to on TV this week. Hell’s Kitchen is on, I love that show. And “So You Think You Can Dance” is on too. I really surprised myself how much I like that show. I love Benji and Donyelle!! Each week the remaining paired up contestants pick a style of dance out of a hat and thats the style they have to do that week. I’m surprised at how much I love watching contemporary/modern dance. I think I need to broaden my artistic horizons a bit.
When I said I was sick a few days ago, I wasn’t joking. I don’t recall ever feeling so crappy. I went to the doctor and she said that I had Strep. She gave me some antibiotics and sent me on my way. It’s amazing how much I improved after only one dose! Just a few hours later I was feeling so much better!!! So today my son woke up at 5.30 am with a very high fever. He was holding his head and saying “no no no”. I called his doctor, she could see us at 10.45, so we left the house at around 10.30.
She confirmed that he has strep also. 
Just a few random late night thoughts…
I registered http://www.tennessee-mom.com and it finally works! However, I registered it at a bad time, my hosting company http://www.powweb.com is moving to another town and changing servers, so they are migrating websites. What they did was copy the site you are reading now to the new server for testing, because my domain is actually a redirect to my section of my husbands domain. Confusing? 
they are supposed to copy everything over wednesday morning at 1am, so after they do that and I adjust a few scripts, i will officially be http://www.tennessee-mom.com !
Never ever use your primary (home) email account for anything but friends and family. I have a yahoo email account and a myway.com email account that i use to make comments on blogs with, message boards, and to sign up for things with. In 2 days I got 5717 spam emails. the past 3 days I had over 9000 emails in spam, and 52 that made it past the yahoo spam filter. People use bots to farm email addresses. Don’t let it happen to you.
I’m not going to sign up for a blogger account to post comments, so if you want people who don’t use blogger to leave comments, make sure to change your comment settings.
It’s 12.03 am and I’m typing this watching the most intense lightening storm I’ve ever been in. it’s happening over top of us. One flash hit a few streets over as I was watching, I saw it and heard it at the same time. The air smells weird. I can’t belive no ones house is on fire, I’ll take a walk over there tomorrow to see if anything got hit. ( I’m not taking pictures out the window this time:)
I love Joomla, and I’m glad I made the switch from Wordpress. There are still a few things I need to set up. One is to have a registered only section with family pictures so my friends and family can see pictures of the kids and I don’t have to worry about some perv looking at them. You’d be surprised at what pervs find entertaining. I use cloth diapers on my kids, and people who CD like to post “look how cute my kid is in her Sandies” type pictures. I like to do the same. But pervs like to steal those pictures and put them on their websites for other reasons.
Well, it’s bedtime. Goodnight!
