I have nothing to say… I can say a whole lot about nothing
The kitchen is sparkling, laundry is going, coffee is perking, and I’ve decluttered for 15 minutes. I feel like I”ve had a productive morning! Of course, it’s like any other typical Monday… with one exception. My boys are back home!
Something about that just makes me smile.
Well, the coffee is just about done, and I’m off to enjoy a sunrise from my deck.
HTML came fairly easy to me. I created pretty graphics so naturally I had to create pretty pages to display my graphics to the world. My simple html coded pages worked in nearly all browsers. I mean, at the time we only had a couple choices for browsers. Netscape or IE. It was easy to keep up with the codes that worked in both. I knew a couple people back in the day used opera but so few used it and I wasn’t concerned if my pages looked goofy for them or not. They weren’t exactly into “pretty pages”. lol! So I get tickled at the thought. Anywho I’m just wondering why the codes can’t be as easy now as they were then.
I know, I have a site or two or three… who’s counting? Really. So I should be up to date with the codes. But this is torture for me! I actually use front page and some other software for my other sites. Oh, did I just admit that outloud? But this is my personal family… let me play on the internet site. This is where I get to learn to code CSS in notepad. Oh JOY! Can ya feel my joy? *note the slight sarcasm*
Actually I’m thrilled right now. I just put together a page using an external style sheet and it really has a background, divs here and there setting things apart, and it didn’t crash my stystem! yay! Here is my practice page. Amateur Photography
There are some very wordy people out there discussing CSS while trying to teach the newbie how to create a style sheet. Here is a list of a few tutorials I actually learned something from.
I admit it… I watched the View this morning. I watched long enough to know Rosie didn’t show up and there was no feud today. I haven’t watched the View since Martha has been on in the same time slot. I’d rather watch Martha any day! I’m glad I tuned in today. I didn’t know Elizabeth was pregnant. She is so cute!
The high school plant sales are in full swing. Mom and I managed to make it to our local high school sale during the first couple days. The selection of plants was wonderful! We stocked up on basket fillers, annuals, and tomatoes. Our baskets are brimming!
Usually we buy a few fuchsia baskets at the HS sale, but this year they didn’t look very good so we passed. My fuchsias from years past aren’t looking very healthy as of yet. I’m hoping they snap out of but it really isn’t looking like I’m going to have beautiful fuchsias this year.
The day after the HS plant sale, we went to Molbak’s. Oh yeah… we happened to stop there the day I had a manicure. I don’t recommend anyone do that… oh you can shop the nursery, but can you resist getting your fingers into the dirt once you get home with all the plants you purchased? I highly doubt it.
Nearly all the plants are in pots and they seem to be growing and filling in already. I’m excited to see how my yard takes shape this summer!
I’m off… shopping with mom today. We heard there is a new shipment of plants at the local hardware store.
