I will be installing a new wordpress theme this weekend! I will also be deleting some things on the back side of the site, redoing some pages and what not as well- not sure exactly what just yet, but def. will be installing a new theme and trying to get it looking the way I want it! I would just take the site into maintenance mode, but I do have several pitches out and what not so I figured I will just leave it live! If you need something that you aren't seeing or if something isn't appearing just right please be patient or feel free to contact me on twitter @xxpollypocket or message me at nichole@autumn-rain.net and let me know! I am really hoping that a new layout will be inspirational to me getting more done and that it will be easier to navigate and what not and fix some random issues! thanks!   … [Read more...]

Hey Everyone Well.. Yesterday I spent it trying to calm down my eyes- mainly the left one and I never did manage to get it to feel half way right- even after a 30 min nap where I thought I had achieved success- it started bothering me less than an hour after that. So let me say watching tv, reading, pretty much everything was OUT and had to be done in spurts of just a few minutes and it sucked! I tried everything in the world as far as resting, putting a wash cloth on it and even wearing my glasses but .. I finally had to break down and find some eye drops! I HATE EYE DROPS. I hate anything near my eyes... I could probably count on ONE hand how many times I have ever used eye drops- and this is only the 2nd time I can think of since I was married! Anyways the ones I had were in these huge vials and down in the container there was this little cup so I just on and off blinked it into my eye throughout the evening/night and then when I woke up about 4 this morning it felt tons … [Read more...]

Hey Everyone Well.. I think I have found the WP theme I was looking for! I found a few and I found one I REALLY liked but the price was just too much- and then one was darn perfect but it was for a blogger site instead of wp so... I just haven't bought the bullet and bought the one yet because I am worried that with my limited back end abilities that I might not be able to make it look the way that I have it in my head! Though they do say they have really detailed instructions and such so.. I guess we'll see.. It might end up being a weekend activity for me to do that and clean up things a bit! I have never actually bought a theme before and my header image was made for me as well so...It is a bit eek to buy one- especially that now I really don't have anyone to help me out if something goes crazy. Don't worry I was also scared when I bought a domain and when I eventually went on my own hosting wise lol and that all turned out! Today I kinda sorta felt like getting into a few … [Read more...]

Hey Everyone I am in one of those overhaul the site modes- though I can't find a theme anywhere that I like.. Go figure ...I might just switch back to my old one and be done of it but I figured if I had a new theme I might be more inspired. I don't mind my header and colors but the rest? Yeah... lol Oh and I miss my icons and I really don't feel like coding those up again but.. well we will see! I am at the point I actually wouldn't mind maybe buying one to use like FOREVER lol. Eh...I really don't mind the old one so much but still.. something fresh is always fun and exciting! I also want new blogger cards- I want to put a QR code for my Ibotta on them so I can hand them out when I tell people about Ibotta like in walmart and stuff lol. Oh yeah// if I can get all this stuff refreshed who knows I might start feeling more ME again! I don't know why I have had the blog blahs for so long but they just are NOT really going away.. but I keep trying because somedays I really do have … [Read more...]

Hey Everyone :) Well... Here we are at Monday again!  The weekend was pretty relaxed as usual, but you all know I am fine with that so.. Mostly David watching Racing all day on Saturday and then yesterday morning I woke up at around 6 a.m with the dry heaves which REALLY sucked. I don't know WHY either because I hadn't ate or drank anything that I could think of that would have caused it, but you just never know either- I bet anything it had to do with the heat!  Not to be TMI but when I get sick like that lately it is so violent and draining it takes me most of the day to get over it ... I had to run to walmart of course for a few things late in the evening and then I watched some tv and cuddled up really early last night. I hadn't really got up this morning and David came back home and scared me because I didn't expect him. I didn't know he had went to the DR  this morning- he has been having some triglyceride issues but we think they are way better under control now than what … [Read more...]

Hey Everyone Well here it is Friday,and the week has flew by! It is actually time for David to be home right now as it is after 4 and they get off early on Friday- I think last Friday though he had to stay late so I guess we'll see.. he hasn't messaged me at all today so I figure he is pretty busy. I went out and about with my mom this morning for a quick Aldi trip and a quick Food lion trip. I forgot to get a few things as usual ha ha...only person in the world that makes a list and then forgets to add things on it I guess!  No worries- nothing important and I know that I will be out and about at least once because I will have to go out to walmart to get some tea so.. yup. I have honey garlic chicken in the crock pot right now- I am not that hungry and could have just made something less filling I guess but it will be good and it will save for another time so it all works out. I woke up the other night and my ear was itching - like right under my earlobe in that soft spot. … [Read more...]
