Mrs. Flinger

Guess what I did last summer

So look, yea, I know, it’s sort of a sickness. I’m going to need a 12 step program for NOT CHANGING MY BLOG.

But not today.

I thought I’d play with a few ideas I had and literally took 4 hours to redo the whole shibang here. I utilized a template pack from EE Templates to integrate my existing configurations and added in a dash of my own flavor. The result is a major overhaul in roughly the time it takes to watch three Northern Exposures (the theme of the font in title and nav)

You’ll also see the main part of the site is updated with a rotating “What’s coming up this week” feature.

I’ve started blogging most of my posts on the weekends which is the only way I can manage to write, work, feed children and shower/workout/talk to my husband/have friends, etc. Which means that most Mondays, I already know what’s coming. And now? So do you. Just a little summin’ summin’ for you to look forward to. Like, WHY YOU DO NOT TAKE CHILDREN CAMPING IN THE WOODS ALONE. And WHAT MENSTRATION AND THIS PHOTO HAVE IN COMMON.

And ohmylands, the yelling. Sorry. Got a little carried away what with the excitement of a launch and all that nonsense.

So click around. Test it out. This is a “mid-point” or a “launching off of” or a “god this sucks” theme. I don’t know the future of the graphics here, but I do know things are changing again.

But aren’t they always?

Vur Niice! So this explains you MIA lately. Or maybe there is something wrong with my internet capabilities. Who knows.
I spent the last several days revamping my own blog but it took my DAYS not hours. I have NO training in web design you see. So I have an excuse for my insanity.
I can’t wait to hear more about the camping. I take my kids camping a lot myself. It is fun but also eye opening. HA!

I love it.  I think it fits your personality even better than the last one.

Off to poke around on that main page…

Very cool! I feel like I’ve met so many Mrs. Flinger designs that I could start a blog called Six Degrees Of Mrs. Flinger of Bad Assery Code or something like that. wink

About

Mom of two, Community Architect at EllisLab. I'm learning to eat clean after being diagnosed with celiac sensitivity. Recently took a short trip to The Netherlands. I make a very bad drunk. I am of no particular religion. Raising a 5yr old daughter, a 3yr old son, my claim of fame is being the girl Ree thought was pregnant, and also that time I met Bella Karoli. But mostly the belly thing. (Read the FAQ...).

Hai! 12 here now

I've been dropping carefully placed f-bombs on the Internet since 2003. I'm also very sarcastic and somewhat prone to exaggeration. Stay and I'll give you a beer. Subscribe and I'll do a very clothed, very bad (ala: Thirty Rock) table dance for you. Tempting, eh?

昨日のケンミンショーはちょっと残念だった。語尾の使い方がなんとなくイマイチだったし、静岡市のことだったのでスーパーも違うし。。でも外国(主にブラジル)の方が多いのは納得。あちこちでポルトガル語見るもんな~ - tweeted on 09-02 3:57 Follow Me.
