Cats! Gotta love 'em!!!

     


                          

     I started to do an entry with all fall graphics.  But then I found
     this background and changed my mind.  The theme for today is
     cats.  Hope you don't mind. 

      Yesterday was a busy one.  I knew that my car's front left 
      tire wasn't in the best of shape so I went to the tire place.
      When I left I had 2 new tires and a front end alignment!  So
      glad to get everything taken care of.

                                         

        Then I had to take my dad to the doctor.  He had his knee
        operated on about 2 1/2 weeks ago and now that leg was
        starting to swell.  The PA (can't ever get in to see a "real"
        doctor these days) said that she thought he had pulled some-
        in his calf, but she wanted to rule out a blood clot.  So we
        had to go to another place for them to run a test to find out.
        They had to "work" my dad in.  Took forever!  But thankfully
        no blood clot.

                                 


          Then I just had to go buy some books.  As if I didn't have
           any in the house!  I have several bookcases running over
           with books.  Every now and again I MUST go buy books.  
          LOL  So I dashed of to Goodwill, picked up tons of books
          plus a video and a DVD.  Spent less than $14.  Not bad.

                                       

          Of all the things I wish AOL would give us, I wish they
          would fix it so you can preview your entry before you hit
          save.  As it is I have no idea if my graphics are really 
          where I want them.  And I TRY to have a left and right
          margin when I use backgrounds, and let me tell ya, it isn't
          easy!!
             
          Oh, I wanted to tell you about this website I found.  I
          don't know how legit it is so if you chose to order some-
          thing do so at your own risk.  And if you do let me know.
           It's called "Neighborhoodies"  You can order all sorts of
           tee shirts, hoodies, ect.... and they will put whatever
           message/name you want on the item.  We used to have a
          tee shirt store here that you could go in and they would
          do that, I miss that store.....

                           

           As you probably know by now J-land is starting up for
            the VIVI awards.  (Journal here if you don't know
            Seems as if Vivian has found someone (in Vivian's
            words not mine) that is shameless promoting them
            self for all the awards.   Well, I say if Jennifer can,
            then I can too!  So pick a catagory and just about
            any will do, and nominate me!!  LOL, no, really......

I so agree about getting a preview.  Another good idea would be to be able to do your entry and then save it but not actually post it right away.  I often think afterwards on an entry what I could have added, something I have forgotten or wish I could change the wording or the graphic.  It would be nice to be able to get it all done, then wait an hour or maybe two before we actually post.

I believe we must not wait for someone else, we must nominate ourselves!!  You know "if you want it done right..." and so forth.

I have a private "test" journal where I do all my composing and experimenting.  A lot of times I'll work on an entry for a few days to get it ready for a certain day and just leave it there, then copy/paste it into my main journal when the time is right.  I saves a lot of embarrassment when I've royally messed up graphics.  Nobody sees it but me!
