So I was desperately in need of a new layout. Don't get me wrong; I loved the layout with Dayna's pandas. It just wasn't 100% me.
I was looking around my old layouts in my local WordPress install and came across the left-aligned purple layout. I decided to revive it with new colors. I started out with all the same colors as now except the sidebar was dark blue. It seemed off to me. So, I was playing around in Brent's color palletes, and tried out a brown color for it. It's perfect! It reminds me of grass and dirt and springtime, for which I am desperately wishing.
I'm so sick of winter it's not even funny. The bad weather keeps me holed up in my apartment and I hate that. This past Wednesday we had an ice storm which wasn't the worst, but it was pretty bad. Lots of communities in the state of Iowa are still without power. Yesterday there was still a thick coat of ice on the trees, which meant branches were falling on power lines, people and cars. I was sitting in my car last night, warming it up, and a small branch fell on my windshield. It was icy enough that it made a loud noise and scared me!
Now, looking at the forecast, we're due for more snow Monday and Thursday. Before it was supposed to snow tomorrow and Wednesday as well, but they changed it. I'm really hoping it stays that way because I may have a chance to go home next weekend.
Right now it's raining pretty hard and it may cause flooding. When it rains, it pours, I guess.
