I really should be ashamed of myself. I submitted my “Translucent Dream” theme 2 weeks ago, and figured it wasn’t going to be picked and totally forgot about it.
I didn’t read my feeds yesterday because I was out most of the day with Jess … she had an orthodontist appointment, then karate class, then she and I spent the rest of the afternoon and most of the evening working on my mother’s Mother’s Day gift that Jessie was planning to give her.
I was too tired to read the feeds or my email for that matter, last night and put it off until this morning. Now I wish I had checked them sooner! My “Translucent Dream” theme was chosen for this week’s round in Lunarpages’ WordPress theme design contest. So now I’m a total spazz, hehe.
Jim and I went out for the evening and on the way to dinner, we ducked into Wal-mart for “just a couple of things.” Boy oh boy, I should know better than to shop when we’re hungry. I think we came home with half the store. LOL!
Rather than buying Jessie a pre-made Easter basket, we stocked up on various candies, stuffed animals, and other toys and goodies and will be putting her basket together manually. All together it probably cost 3 times as much as the basket, but she’d have more stuff and it’s more personalized. After all, who can resist camo Easter eggs?
Jessie’s so gonna be spoiled.
A couple of hours later, we finally get out of Wal-mart and headed up to El Carreton in Gardendale. It looks like a hole in the wall place, but trust me, it’s got the BEST Mexican/Spanish food I’ve ever had!
Jim and I exchanged our gifts last night. He surprised me with a gigantic plush frog, a plush Firefox, a few other Firefox goodies, and a TON of my favorite candy.
I gave Jim a very nice golf shirt and some swanky unmentionables. RAWR!
Jessie’s getting a nifty Hello Kitty lunch kit from me, and a gigantic plush doggie and ton of candy from Jim. She’s spent the week with her mother, so we get her back tonight and most of tomorrow. We’re hoping to have her some this weekend too, but that’s a bit sketchy as we’ll also be helping Jim’s mom move to Montgomery, and I’ve got a side project that I’ve got to finish this weekend. I’m hoping to get out at some point and pick up some books … I’ve been working on a SharePoint template for work and am a little stuck (messing around in MS’ proprietary format/code). So we’ll see …
I hope y’all are having a good day/week!
