Window Live Writer

IF you have Windows 7. You should have Windows Live Writer. I used to curse at Blogger for it was often just dumb.

BUT I accidentally clicked on my WLW one day and alas I have fallen in love. One of my more recent posts the Coffee Induced Post I was able to put pictures all over, left, right, and type next to them. YEP, WLW!

I can link (it’s smart, it already guesses my link if I was just at the site) pictures, videos, fonts, (still frustrated with the fact that ever time I add a photo it changes my font) AND I can have BOTH my blogs. This one, and my art one which are on TWO separate email accounts, right there. Click, post wala. I don’t need to log in and out!

I’m sure there is a ton of stuff more I can do with it. But for now, it’s awesome. Speaking of Windows 7, I finally figured out how to do that “TO THE CLOUD” picture thingy that lady does on tv with her perfect family nature never gave her? Anyway it’s cool. Also merging pictures (making panoramic) is fun too.

It doesn’t take much to amuse me and they hit the button right on the head here for me! Now I just want a book on it, so I can REALLY use my Windows features…

Coffee buzzard induced.

Random babble on a Sunday morning.

~Snow is pretty. Lots of snow is still pretty. BUT it’s getting a bit maddening, since we are STUCK inside. Sure playing out in it is a blast…

But there is ONLY so much you can do in the snow. Especially when you start loosing feeling to your body parts.

I sped up the process last night, using what once was our back deck stairs, now as a very cool snow ramp, first time was awesome, launching me halfway through the yard. Second time, the snow had been pushed into the hollow area under the step which resulted in me getting snow down my pants, and up my back. HOLY cold.

We did have fun measuring the drifts, this one up to Spaghetti’s knees!

Spaghetti and I put the kids on the swings. Weaky was pissed because his was stuck in the snow (we had to unbury it first!) And Bagel just laughed because she could shimmy around in hers a bit.

All in all we’ve been getting some really good use of their snow suits. A trip down the slide from the fort house, to the snow drift below was fun. But next time we need to factor in time. Because by the time we got everyone dressed (started at 5 pm) and played for a bit, by 5:30 it was dark! The snow with the back light, make it light enough to see. But it was getting cold, and well, with snow still in my butt crack I was about done too.

~Play room.

It’s fucking awesome. Yes I had to say fucking because that’s what it is. Fucking awesome. Kids are eating popcorn, watching  an Ice Age movie marathon, and have toys out the wazoo down there.

The dogs are allowed pretty much all over the rest of the house, and they love it.

Me? Drinking coffee, blogging, doing dishes, folding laundry, picking up the house. ALL with out being whined at every few minutes.

NOW don’t get me wrong, I LOVES to be with my babies. BUT. EVERY time I would walk by the front living room, they NEEDED a snack (even if they had one in hand) or NEEDED to whine. OMG. Plus I am known for either all hands on with the kids.

It’s either ‘let’s paint, or playdoh, or make a fort’ OR it’s ‘leave me be I’ve got to clean this house it smells like a zoo and your whining is going to send me to drink excessive amounts of coffee and FB all day’

SO this NEW and IMPROVED layout of zee house is FANFUCKINGTASTIC.

~~Ohh I have to brag a bit… check this out…

It’s Bagel art!! Alright, so it’s not the art work, with the fantastically over priced color wonder paper and markers… it’s the signature…

 

 

Reads “Happy Birthday”

 

 

“I (heart) U. Mia. Gram.”

She had me tell her the letters, BUT she did the “I (heart) U” all on her own! I’m telling you Baby Bagel age 1-4 is a blur! 5 is coming to fast!!

~I’ve got a fun few days planned ahead.

Tonight Weaky is having a sleep over at Queen Gigi, and Papa Carrots house. I haven’t told him yet, because Bagel will be sad. BUT it’s because I have a field trip with her tomorrow to the local collage Planetarium. (well I take her, drop her off, and then ONLY the teachers and students get to see the show. So us mom’s are going to Starbucks!)

Then Tuesday I get a date with my bestie Aerial!! Can’t wait. She will FINALLY open her birthday presents from me (her BDay is Nov. 16th!!) and then for Christmas we bought each other tickets to see “Burn The Floor” should be a great show!

~Oh AND at the end of the month, in…20 days we are leaving for… SUNNY (hopefully) Arizona!! OMG. WARM. And you can say all you want about how cold it could be, with last Thursdays wind chill here at –20, anything above freezing will be great.

~~

So enough stalling, and babbling, I need more coffee, and need to see what Bagel is doing now that she took my poor Sophie into her room..

 

I do believe she is reading her a story about Franklin going to the Hospital… Well this is what I do to Maggie when I am bored… she wears my jammies!

 

 

 

 

 

Alright. I’m done. Miss me, Happy Super Bowl Sunday, and Go Bears… I mean… Stealers. (Bears fans hate Green Bay!) I’m in it for the commercials, the love of the game and my fav’s Black Eyed Peas are playing!!

Feisty

(p.s. I think I need a book on this ‘Windows Live Writer’ its awesome, and I can keep more then one blog (I have one for my art too) in it. BUT for the life of me can NOT get it to STAY on one font, and size!! Each time I add a picture it changes it to 9.5 and Aerial (yuck!) Plus I want to learn Windows Live Photo Gallery “to the cloud!”

An Ode to Blogger

Dear Blogger,

This note is to say thanks. For the pure sake of my sanity.

Sounds simple enough right? I guess what I want to say is when my good friend from grade school told me all about you, in which she is quite trendy and I am thankful she shares with me, all the fun things I could do with Blogger. I was then introduced to SITS an extreemly wonderful comunity for bloggers. I have met SO many great bloggers through them.

I also had read a friend of mine's blog. I call her Iowa. She posted why she blogs. And the fact that I was doing it just for attention was one thing. But she made such valid points, about scrapbooking for her kids. And yes I do the art of papercrafting with scrapbooks for my kids, but to blog out stories for them too? Genius.

But outside of baby, toddler and now preschooler posts. I have filled my little corner of the blogosphere with posts on Postpartum, durring and after. My family, memories, life in general. And who doesn't like a good rant or two, or three, or four... oh who's counting.

The guily pleasure I have of reading into someone elses life, their point of view, their world is amazing. It's like a diary of sorts for the world to see. If you like. If not. Keep it for yourself.

So thanks blogger. You seriously are good for my soul.

xo... FeIsTy

I'm back!

(this picture has NOTHING to do with this post. It's from ICanHasCheezBurger dot com

 makes me fucking happy. Especially when dumb shit happens... go there...laugh... your welcome)

I am OKeedookee.

Thanks to the help of Shannon over at EightCrazyDesigns (want a link to her? Over on the left hand side, down twards the bottom. Can't miss it big and green. I'm too lazy and it's too late for me to link it, and I still need to iron Spaghetti's work clothes for tomorrow, and its in the double digets of time, OMG, it's 10:36, I'm SO up past my bed time) who make me this cute layout to begin with. I nicely begged asked her to look at my blog, and tell me WTH I did.

Long story short, it had NOTHING to do with AdSense, and it was all PhotoBuckets fault. SO she assisted me, and got me back to good. WHY did my screen look so funny? Does any one care? Sure, I know this is and edge of your seat story, BUT hey it's my page and I was freaking the fuck out.

Story is, if you use PhotoBucket (in which they house my layout) if you don't log in every 90 days, they will make your pictures all fucked up looking, like they did to my blog. Wankers.

Shannon no longer uses PhotoBucket, but for people like myself, and previous customers (Maternal Mirth, you to may be plauged) we have to log in. Booooo. Hissssssss.

Back to normal. Now to find out why this blogger can't leave comments. Damn it, I love comments, and someone is FINALLY leaving me comments, or attempting to and she said my comments are off?! WTF...

Alrighty then. (Yes said in the Jim Carry voice) off to bed with me. Nighty night!

Let's file this one under Fuck You Friday, but with a happy ending...

Dear Blogger.

Why is it when I spend ALL fucking morning blogging, and carefully leaving at least 4 fucking spaces in between my little paragraphs do you then smush them ALL back together when I am done?!?

No matter how many spaces, at your free will you decide to just randomly pick a post to smush.


Folks see the nice one below?! Yes that was nicely spaced then all of a fucking sudden mid compose it starts to fucking take out my spaces.


I am sure blogger will make a liar out of me and keep this one all spaced. Fucker. Stop doing that. I swear I do space things out my few readers I have. I want it to be easy on your eyes, giving them a chance to rest.


Gah!!

Blogger Help.

So I don't get what I am doing when I hit "enter" to skip a few lines, and no matter how many lines I put. When I go to preview, or publish my post. It will put everything together. Grrr. Any ideas? Tips? Is there a line setting I am missing? Thanks!!

Wala! InSaNiTy has a comeback...

Sooooo... what do you think? Magic huh?



Pretty page?



Three columns?



Bright and funny?



Well designed?



Yes, I did put it up here.

And no I did not design it.

WAY back in June I was visiting my friends over at the Secrets in the Sauce (Quigs, you have got to visit if you haven't already!) and I was there first winner (and boy did I win big) anywho, one of my prizes was a FULL blog makeover by Shannon over at Eight Crazy Designs (awesome job!)



Beautiful. Why has it been gone you ask?



Sigh, long story short. I realized I had WAY to much family information, and details on the old blog (blocked by everyone but me, don't try to find it. ) and sadly I needed to start new. The old blog dated back to Feb. 2007, with over 2000 post in it alone! But knowing I wanted to blog for many more years, I knew I needed to start over. With fun secret names, and less family information, and just more of me rambling.



What is up with the title?



Well if I could get Shannon to fix me, so I read "Spaghetti and Bagels" that would be super. Even though "InSaNiTy At ItS bEsT" is pretty catchy too. I will have to stick with what I got.



And I know some of you may notice I change my background about every two weeks. How will I handle keeping it the same?



It's kind of a way to keep me from dinking around online more then I already do. I have an awesome layout. I need to just go rearrange furniture in my house if I need some change.



SO there you have it. Big, blue, and here for a while. I really just wanted 3 columns. I had to much stuff for one column, and well don't get me started on those sites with the cheat help to edit my HTML and get the 3 columns. I had stuff everywhere!



Why go elsewhere when I have this pretty page in hiding! Hope you like it!

Under Construction.

I am trying my damnedest to get this blog to a 3 column... and I am having little or no luck... I do have some idea's I am tinkering with, but it is getting late... so if I look a bit naked, or randomly awkward. It's ok, it's not you. It's me.

Until I figure out what I am doing, bear with me.

Thanks
