I'M BACK...ALREADY

Ok so it didn't take me NEARLY as long as I thought it would. I just took yesterday, sat down and focused, and got most of it done. TAH-DAH...Do you like it??

It's not completely finished, but I'm happy with the blog design and layout. The layout is very similar to what it used to be, there's just not as much clutter on my sidebars. Now that I have tabs at the top, I can keep a few more things organized.

My absolute favorite part...the colors. Pink and green are my favorite colors, especially together. They represent my vibrance, femininity, and fun nature. I'm also really happy with the header. I did customize it a bit and I really like the way it came out. Now I feel like my blog is truly about my WHOLE self and not just my pregnant self.

Now I can focus on new posts and photos. YAYYY!!!

Just a Really Quick Hiatus

Okay so after reading LOTS of blogs and posts with different ways to improve my blog, I've decided to put some of those plans into action. I will be taking a quick hiatus from my blog, hopefully no more than a week or two. If you happen to find yourself on here and things look a little off or mismatched, this is why. I'm trying to fix one element at a time, so here it goes...

See you in a week or two with  something that makes some sort of sense a completely redesigned blog.

OOPS!!

Ok so I just realized that I posted my Photog Friday post yesterday right after I created it, instead of saving it and letting it post today. Oh well. Better me posting early instead of late. 

I've been a day off all week anyway. Somebody pray for me!!

Introducing Photog Fridays- The Many Faces of Me

Ok so I said I wanted to add some type of photography element to my blog and I've been trying to figure out what to do. I know that in the coming weeks I want to do interviews with some of my favorite photographers and possibly showcase their work. As I get more into the photography field, I will definitely be showcasing my work.

Black versus African American

Ok so I've come across numerous posts on my Babycenter message boards and various other message boards about Black versus African American. Pretty much people are trying to decide which is "better" to use. The general consensus is most non-blacks choose to use African American to be politically correct while most blacks just use black. As you can see, I'm one of the ones who uses black.

To Tweet or Not to Tweet

Ok so I've been having this back and forth debate with myself about whether or not I should start using Twitter in order to help build a following for my blog. I see others using it both effectively and ineffectively, so I decided to do a little research to help me make a decision.

I finally made the decision to set up a Twitter account and see how things go. If nothing else, it will allow me to network with other bloggers who may be great resources to help me build my blog. Hopefully this will also help to promote my blog and build my readership.

Ok so it's been over a week...

So so sorry for neglecting my other baby for so long. My baby #1(Peanut) has been taking all of my focus this week with ultrasounds and babyshower stuff. Oh yeah, it's official. My Peanut is a lil man, not a girl like I originally thought. I'm actually happier to be having a boy. Go figure.

Well life has been hectic, crazy, emotional, eventful, and then some. I'm trying to adjust to single life and impending single motherhood and so many other factors are being thrown my way. Certain people are wanting me to be in a relationship with them, yet they aren't quite ready to commit to me and only me. How does that work??

Just to take the edge off

So here it is. April 1st. April Fool's Day. The one day that assholes can use to justify the way they are the other 364 days of the year. Can you tell how much I love April Fool's Day.

Well I found this post on one of my pregnancy message boards and I decided to post it because I'm just in no damn mood to write one myself.

TRUE STATEMENTS
1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die. 
  
2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong. 
  
3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger. 

4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.
