My Trip To The Richfield Jail

5 May

A few weeks ago I took a road trip with Misti to Richfield to go to jail! I am sure most of you are wondering why in the heck we would drive 2 and a half hours to go to jail well it was because on of her friends is in jail there and I have started to write him so I wanted to go with her and see him. The drive there was great until the GPS wanted me to go off roding in my car. I was like WTF???? Good thing I am smarter than it and turned it off and we found it with out the lying thing!
It was really good to see him and finally meet him sober. I had met him once before but he was high so it was nice to meet him and he seems like a really nice guy. I have decided that I am going to get back to the old me and that means I am going to have a lot of guy friends but not date or anything like that.
Anyways the visit was supposed to be for an hour but they let us stay for 2 hours! I am so glad that they let us because he hasn’t had a visitor and he has been in there over a year now. He was so shocked and yet wierded out because he would see people and what not walk by and he didn’t know how to take it. It was funny to see how he acted and how nervous people make him. I can’t imagine being locked up for over a year and not having a visitor and he hardly had people writing him until Misti got his address and started writing him.
All in all it was a great trip and a lot of fun! I am trying to get back to posting and blogging again so we will see how well I do. I hope everyone is having a great week!

I got this award from my bloggy BFF Elle. I figured I better get around to posting it and passing it on. The rules for the award are as follows:
“The only rule for this award is that if you accept it, please don’t keep it to yourself. Please pass this along to others and share the bling!”
I am going to pass it on to all of my followers that don’t have it yet!

Blog 101

Written By Margaret Tidwell

*Well lets start off with what blog host you are using. I design blogs for Blogger hosted blogs.

*Blogger/Blogspot: These are the same thing. The blogging program is called “Blogger” and your blog address will look something like “yourblogname.blogspot.com”. Blogger is a completely free blog service and probably the easiest one to use. I have to different type of blog designs for blogger, The Classics and The Modern Designs. The Classics Designs are based off the Minima template and the Simple template in the new template designer from blogger. The Modern Designs are based off templates that I create using a template designer program. For both types I offer premade and custom designs.

*Columns for your site

Do you know how many columns you want for your site? Well I will explain them to you to help you decide by explaining them to you.

1 Column:

One column designs only have a post area and no sidebars. This design is great for photography blogs. Here is a sample: This sample is not live since I never got to finish the design.

2 Columns:

Two columns designs have only one sidebar. The sidebar can be either on the left or the right side of the blog. I love this layout since it makes the blog look really clean and simple. Here is a sample of a 2 columns design: http://lilypondfamily.blogspot.com/

3 Columns:

Three columns designs have a post area and 2 sidebars. I create this layout two different ways; with one column on each side of the post area and with two columns on the same side. The layout with the columns on the same side you have the option of having them on either the left or right side of the blog. Here are samples of these designs:

3 Columns-same side

3 Columns- split

4 Columns:

Four columns designs have a post area and 3 sidebars. The layout of this design is different then all the other, at the top of the layout it only has 1 sidebar and then it splits into 2 columns. This design is only available for The Classic Designs with the Minima template. Here is a sample of a 4 columns design: http://www.peacefulwishing.com/
