An Adopted Childs View On Adoption
Day 24-30
It has taken for months to finish this but I figure that I am going to finish it today and maybe start a new one that I will post from each Wednesday but I am not sure on that yet.
Day 24-A photo of something that means a lot to you.
Day 25-What’s in my purse
I did this a few months ago so I am just going to re-post those pictures.
Day 26-A photo of somewhere I have been
Day 27-A picture how I looked last year and then a picture of how I look now.
I don’t have a picture of me from last year so I just posted a recent picture of mine.
Day 28-My favorite movie
Day 29-Something you could never get tired of doing.
I would have to say blogging or working on random designs. I also love to watch movies and listen to music.
Day 30-A picture of myself & three good things that happened in the last 30 days
- I got a new design from Wacky Jacqui Designs!
- I am learning and getting better at designing blogs
- I paid off one of my medical bills
That is all of the this one! This post is long but it mostly pictures! I hope everyone has a great Sunday!

Review:
Did you notice the new design? We had a pretty major site change and it’s all thanks to Margaret at The World As I See It. Last Friday I joined her blog hop and she mentioned she does design work. And voila!
As someone who is incredibly stupid when it comes to graphics, logos, etc (my best effort was the old logo) I was grateful for someone who was willing to work with me on making the blog look better. Margaret did that and so much more! She took my logo and made it 100x better (You can actually read the words now!). From that and the basic colors I gave her, she made the background and side bars (did you see that Twitter/Facebook don’t overtake the side now? That’s thanks to Margaret!). She also made the signature you’ll now see at the bottom of every post and the blog button on the left.
Margaret also worked quite quickly. I literally asked her on a post Friday afternoon and had a whole new design by Saturday morning! She worked with what I had and did the extra needed to redo my logo (she had to go find the original piece of ClipArt I used and fix it from there). Margaret really listened to what I want and made it happen. If you are looking for someone to do a blog design for you, please contact Margaret at The World As I See It. She is fantastic, helpful and quick!
Mrs. No No Knows Design
This is one of my latest designs.
Here is her review:
This design came courtesy of the web-design master, Margaret. Here’s her website, if you want to stop by and check it out.
Let me tell you about the process that we went through: We started off easy (well, I started off easy, she had a harder time because I only knew that I wanted my blog cleaned up, but hadn’t really, really decided WHAT else I wanted….however, I did know what I DIDN’T want….poor Margaret….). She sent me pics of things, and templates, and previews and had me look them over and tell her what I did or didn’t like (every time!) and then she would adjust accordingly. If you couldn’t tell from my description this far, the thing that impressed me the most about Miss Margaret was her complete sense of PATIENCE. If I didn’t like something, she changed it; If I didn’t get back to her right away, she just kept plugging away at; If I thought it was perfect, she continued in the same fashion. Her communication skills are great and I never felt like I was being left out to dry (so to speak) or interfering with her work. She answered all my questions and inquiries very promptly and was quick to make sure that I approved of where she was going with everything. Which, is a HUGE plus since I could not have made all these changes myself (without TONS more education in web design)!!
Friday I had my infusion and lets just say that for the first time since I have been doing them I had to get poked twice. She kept digging with the first needle until I told her I couldn’t deal with the pain any longer. There is nothing that hurts more than a nurse fishing around in your arm trying to get a vein that she has missed but doesn’t want to re-due it and get it right. After about 3 or 4 minutes digging around I finally said that’s enough. I can’t take the pain anymore. She then poked me again a little higher up on the vein and got it in the first time. Now where I was poked at hurts and I got a battle wound (bruise).
I also got an email from my daughters adoptive family. It totally made my Friday. They told me about her and also enclosed two pictures for me. I am not going to post them but if you would like to see them let me know and I will email them to you. I can’t believe how big she has gotten and how much she looks like my little brother. She is short like I am but has the coloring of my little brother. They said that she is all girl and is really good in school. I was so glad to hear from them and happy that she is doing good. It will be six years in July since I had her and placed her for adoption. I know I made the right choice when I look at her pictures and see how happy she is.
I didn’t do that well this week when it comes to not eating. I tried my best but lets just say that this week wasn’t the best. I also haven’t done well on my diet but I am going to try and go walking tomorrow even though I will have to go by myself. I really just need to charge my Ipod and go for a walk every night. I need to lose the weight and I also need to get in shape for our trip to Yellowstone this summer.
That is all I have for today. I still have a few spots left for designs so let me know if you are interested in getting a free design!
