Believe it or not, I haven’t forgotten about my blog… There hasn’t been any publically posted material in a while, mostly because I find myself venting and ranting and they really shouldn’t be public. So, nothing for the viewers. In the meantime, I’m trying to change some of my rants into publically available reading. I’m working on a massive “Banking ettiquitte 101″ post on the basics people need to know when entering a bank (like filling out deposit tickets, the basics of check cashing, etc). I also don’t believe in ranting about my coworkers in public, so you’ll never see that here.

On a totally other random note, I’ve been playing around a little with my photoshop, and made some more fandom buttons!! I’ve added another 25 to my page (found here) including Ever After, LotR and NCIS. Some turned out well, some were just okay, but what the heck…

i’ll also have to come back and tell you how horrendous my sister’s flight from the UK back to the US went so soon after the terrorist threat…. it was bad… very very bad.

anyways… *sigh*

still have a touch of creativity in me, but not a whole lot… sleepiness and tiredness are setting in. But I did put together a little something, toying around with a simplistic elegant white based background with my photography flowers showering the scene. I don’t think it can work just yet, but I am pretty okay with how this turned out, a little icon for my blog (if I can get it down to avatar size, which I doubt)

(just to confirm, it is SM, not SH… it stands for Samantha’s Musings, not my name *g*)
anyways… *sigh*

Well, I did it… I changed the theme around so everyone can enjoy something! Behold the newest theme, Technicolor Checkers! It took me the better part of today *being Sunday* to conceive of it and put it together, and even then what I originally conceived ended out a bit differently… I am actually quite proud of the checkered background, as that took me nearly three hours to get it just right, and I did get a couple other variations that turned out well too. But over all I’m pleased with it… Even though now the two themes are both vibrant, one is much more laid back, and the other a little more seventies flowerchild. I have also succeeded in setting up a change theme element on the sidebar for those of you with a Macintosh to view the Pink Explosion, my original theme. This also makes it easier to add more themes in the future just by adding a link to each sidebar… The one thing I would still like to work on is setting up a more uniform sidebar page so that I can just update one rather than two (or three or more as I add themes…) but that might be a future endeavor…
