Bucket List

We had a highly unproductive weekend last weekend.  Kyle had a sinus infection so in turn we became sloths.  I did  get to re-vamp the blog a little if you haven't already notice.  Blogger has changed quite a bit and I felt like I was back at square one in the learning curve.  I added tabs, which took quite a bit of time.  They aren't finished, but feel free to check them out as they took me way too much time to figure out.  I felt like my mom, randomly punching buttons until something worked. With some of the new formating of blogger the header wouldn't stay in its designated location, the center.  Instead it wandered over to the left side of the screen to check out the buzz over there.  Like an unruly child causing much anxiety on my part and probably on Kyle's part when I started yelling in tongues. It took at least one hour of trouble shooting just for that one aspect.  My clogged and snotty prince came to the rescue with an HTML code fix and a comb to brush out the Eagle sized birds nest I had developed while anxiety ridden.  What do you other bloggers do to learn these tricks.  Does it take you HOURS as well, or is that just me?

In other news, Kyle and I started to work on a Bucket List.  (Together)  There are a few individual items that I will try and mark with our individual initials.  Despite Kyle being grumpy because of his achy body and spinning head, it was fun putting this list together.  There are more K's than V's, but I think that is because I was writing the list and unless Kyle said, "HECK NO" I included him on the things I wrote down.
