Another Day, Another Change

Clearly I'm bored and have nothing to do but keep changing my blog around :) I changed it again and I think things should be back to normal? (Let me know if not, please!)

I wish I could change the gray background around the blog posts but so far, no cigar.  Oh well.

I am getting both super excited and super nervous for the u/s next week. I hate not knowing what's going on right now and wish I could email (and get a response) from Gabby, but she's still on vacation. I'm seeing pics from her on FB and so it's making me antsy. Luckily, no more "scary" pics :) There have been videos of her family doing a high ropes adventure course type thing, roller coasters, etc. but all those pics are from someone safely and firmly on the ground below!

I have to learn how to skype for next week. I downloaded the app to my phone but now what? How do you connect with someone? Also, can you three-way skype? If not, I might just let L be on the skype call instead of me since I'm so nervous I feel I might barf just thinking about things. But if there's bad news, then he has to tell me it, which sucks for him. And also, he never asks the questions I want because he doesn't think of them on time.

  1. I really like this layout! But I'm a fan of lavender in general. Plus, the yellow flowers look nice with your yellow ducky. I vote keep it.

    As for Skype, I'm the master of it, because I used it constantly on my phone and computer when my spouse was in Afghanistan. It's pretty user friendly and you can have it such that each of your cameras is on for the other, and you can see yourself at the same time. Good stuff and is next best to being there en vivo. Can't wait to hear how the u/s goes!

    1. Thanks! I like lavender/purple too!

      I think we've figured it out, just need to get Gabby's contact info, and see if we can do a threeway call for free!

  2. Usually I read all the blogs I follow in my reader but thought I would actually click on over to see the changes, really like them. But I've always been a fan of lavender and yellow. Can't really comment on the skype issue as I'm technologically inept :( However, I have heard that it is easy to use.

    1. Thanks for clicking over! :) I used to be such an early adopter of technology and now I suck at it!

  3. Skype is super easy to use. Why not connect with a few friends to try it out first so you're not nervous on the big day. I'm pretty sure ther is a conference call option. You just add a contact to the call. To find contacts all you do is search for them by username. Best of luck.

  4. I think the new layout is cute :) And the comment section is working much better!

    Hoping for wonderful news... it's going to be such a long week.

  5. Yep, skype is pretty easy. It's how my husband and I chat while he's out of the country. You just need to know the other person's user name, then you can type it in and "call" them. I know you can add other people to make it like a conference call, but we've never tried it.

    I like the purple background. :)
