Topic: Day Trips


(ps - I seem to be getting e-mail alerts from comments made on my photo albums, but still not on comments made on this blog.)

I am very irritated with Tripod right now. (Tripod is the host for this blog.) In their alerts section, it says they are, "undergoing maintenance and there may be some outages." I seriously hope that explains the crap that's been going on with my blog. First, it posted my previous entry twice. Then my Dad had difficulties posting a comment. Next, I went and deleted the extra copy of my previous entry. Then it mysteriously reappeared later. Tripod has also completely changed their blog building program, so now you can't do nearly as much as you used to, and what you CAN do, you have to write the html yourself. I am all about point-and-click. If I wanted to learn html, I would, oh I don't know, LEARN HTML!!!! Anyhow, to top that off, when I am logged out, my blog still has that pesky double entry and no comment from my Dad. When I am logged in, there's only one copy of the entry and my Dad's comment is there. So I have no idea why this is, or what all of you might be seeing on your computers. Ugh. If this doesn't resolve itself soon, I am going to move my blog elsewhere. What bothers me about Tripod as well, is they make it as difficult as possible to contact them. That's probably to avoid tons of people doing what I would like to do, which is tell them how much they suck. If I do move, it will probably be to Yahoo360. I have a profile there, and two of my friends have blogs there as well. I won't move my blog to MySpace, because they also want their users to write their own code. Forget that.
Please excuse the rant. I am just frustrated. I have no idea if this will post twice or what. If it does, I honestly don't know what I can do about it. Sorry!
I will write more (we had a nice Sunday) when I've calmed down and when I decide where my blog will be. I'll be sure to let everyone know one way or another. Thanks!
So I got this cute little lantern as a souvenir at Our Dynamic Earth. Tonight I thought I would finally light it. After a couple of minutes, Larry and I noticed a weird burning, chemical type smell. It was the lantern. We decided to blow it out. It just has a little tea light in it. Stupid me, I go to lift the top off to get at the candle and... an expletive later, I'm going to get burn ointment and bandaids. Self-inflicted stupidity wounds are the worst!
Not much has been up. I feel like time's been getting away from me. It seems that the moment I get a chance to relax and write or get online (Ryan nap times and bedtimes), Ryan's awake or it's suddenly Holly bedtime. That's ok. I know before long Ryan will be in school and I'll be missing the days we got to spend all day together.
I've got a new mantra. Repeat after me: I will not get addicted to MySpace, I will NOT get addicted to MySpace, I WILL NOT get addicted to MySpace! I only signed up for it because some friends of mine post blogs there. I don't exactly have loads of free time, so I don't need another time sucker! :) However, it is awfully tempting - a comment here, upload something there... No matter what, I plan on keeping my blog here though. I am a paying tripod member (need tons of storage space for all my photos and my other site), so I plan on making the most of it.
Larry had to work today. Don't know if we'll do anything special tomorrow.
Hope everyone is having a good weekend.
