New layout! I love the colours on this one, and I wanted to try something a tiny bit different than what I had before.. but this is all I came up with. Work ended up only giving me 2 shifts this week (one on a day that I asked for off since I have family Christmas things) so I have A LOT of free time which I don’t mind at all, haha. Except for the lack of money. But I also got sick the other day, so I’d rather not be working…
With my new found free time, I’m trying to get into a somewhat regular blogging schedule because I hate that I fall behind. Though since I also have so much free time, I don’t really do much other than watch movies and TV shows. I did go for a nice coffee date with a friend tonight, who I hadn’t seen in quite some time. Too much drama is going on with my friends in regards to people not texting/hanging out enough, and it’s all ridiculously stupid and I’m trying to fix it, but everyone just seems to keep getting angrier for no reason. And now people get mad at me for actually talking to her, and just a bunch of stupid stuff is going on. It’s annoying, but hopefully tomorrow it’s going to be all fixed because a few of us are hanging out to talk about it all 
I don’t have much else to say, but I will leave you with a picture of me after I curled my hair on saturday. I NEVER do anything with my hair, and I just really love this picture of myself so I want to share it, haha:

Day 29 – Something you hope to change about yourself. And why.
Well, theres things I want to change about myself personally, physically and site wise. Site wise, I want to get back into it. I’m in the midst of coding a new layout now, and it’s been so long that I have to google basically everything because I forget things that used to be so simple to do. I want to change that I let myself slack SO MUCH. My design a day was supposed to keep me into it, but I even majorly slack on that and use simple text designs for the day, or just use a picture I took that day and not even open photoshop other than to re-size the picture. It’s hard sometimes, because I will work literally all day and when I get home, I have no motivation to do anything because I just want to sleep. In the morning, I also just want to sleep so I just kind of stay in bed and go on tumblr or other random sties. And on my days off (two days in a row, tomorrow & friday!) I always have plans because I can’t do anything the other 5/6 days of the week. But I want to actually make way more of an effort to keep it up. I’ll try to still blog once this challenge is done (hurrah for actually making it 29 days so far!), though not as often. I have a bit of a plan with the new layout that’s coming up, so there will be some changes. I’m excited to see how it all works out…
As for my self, I’ve also been slacking on the gym front. I don’t have time to go, because I work pretty much all the hours it’s open & I can’t always make it in the morning. It’s been almost three weeks since I’ve been, and I really want/need to get back into it because I was LOVING the changes I could see. I will try my best to get there soon.
I was going to blog a bit more, but I want to get back to coding the layout because I’ve been exciting to come home and do that all day, haha.

Rain is a good thing

Day 22 – Something you wish you hadn’t done in your life.
I’m not really sure that there is something. At times, I wished I never got my industrial pierced because it’s caused a lot of problems & pain but it’s mostly past that now, so it’s alright. At times, I wished that I hadn’t let David back into my life so many times when I ALWAYS knew how it was going to end (and it always did just that: end) and it did teach me a LOT about myself, changed who I was and made me into who I am now. And I love who I am now a lot more than I loved who I was before I met him. And I don’t think it has anything to do with HIM specifically, more just me realizing/changing things BECAUSE of the relationship and the things that happened. Because I had no choice after all that he did to make myself stronger & realize my worth. And so I don’t wish it didn’t happen (maybe wish it didn’t take me so long to realize it all, because I could have saved myself a lot of pain), because otherwise I’m not sure where I’d be right now.
Right now, it’s pouring outside and I just really love the rain. Tomorrow morning I’m going with my friends to get tattoos priced, maybe get a piercing (depends on the price) & then go shopping. I’m excited I also started a new layout before work today, and I like it so I will hopefully get a chance some time soon to code it and get it up because this one has been up for WAY too long now.

Happy 1st Birthday!
Posted on: January 30, 2011 at 11:27 pm. 6 comments
It’s Lover Dearest’s first birthday! While the site officially opened on the 30th, no actual updates were made until the 31st so I’m not sure what the real birthday is considered, but either way there is a brand new layout up in celebration! I really like this layout, though after staring at it literally all day I’m already SO used to it. I had it basically done a few hours ago, but then I went to see 127 hours at the movie theater (good movie, some really disturbing blood scenes though) so I finished it when I came home, and had it activated but then realized that I had to fix the top links, so I de-activated it for a bit and then tried to finish them & one of them magically went smaller, and then two weren’t hovering properly, so I copied the code from another one & then that one started to not work, so I essentially had to just redo them all in Dreamweaver and copy the codes over.
But alas, now this much needed & very lovely layout is up, running & hopefully kink-free. If you do happen to come across some things that don’t work, or don’t look right don’t hesitate to let me know 
Which reminds me that I forgot to check the layout in IE, which I loathe doing because it looks perfect in FF but then I go to IE and it looks so messed up. I’ll go do it now, but I’m scared…
(And of course, IE is taking forever to load. I’ve never been more anti-IE)
Meh, the only difference in IE is the padding of the page, the tag cloud and the super-spaced out (in IE) footer navigation, all which are problems with any layout I make and I can’t seem to figure out why. Aw, damnit. I just noticed the ‘content’ hover is squished in IE, which is what happened in FF that originally caused all my hover problems. I say everyone just switches to FF and no one ever uses IE again.
Overall though, I really like this layout. It’s different than other ones I’ve made, and I experimented a bit more with hovers, custom fonts as titles and multiple backgrounds within different divs. I also love it because it features lyrics from the song Lover Dearest was named after, which I listened to almost all day today (both because of LDs birthday & for my own reasons). I hate how the recently played header becomes a link, but I’m not sure how to fix that as it’s within the widget, not my coding. So I guess I’ll just have to live with that for now.
