Changing Outfits


Uhmmm . . . does this outfit make my butt look fat?

Okay, tell me the truth. When you clicked in here today, did you -- for just one crazy moment -- feel like you'd stepped into a stranger's house? Sorry about that. If it's okay with you, we'll just blame Mom Nature for the confusion. See, I was looking out the window and thinking, with a certain amount of awe, about how quickly the maple tree is changing color. Last week almost every single leaf was green. Then, on the thirteenth, appropriately enough, we got our first storm of the season and, ever since, the leaves have been turning gold so fast I have to wonder if the tree has been sneaking into a tanning salon when I'm not watching. Anyway, I figure if the maple tree can change outfits, so can I.

Note to Self: Next time you decide to change the look of the blog page, let me slap you 12 or 17 times.

It's been quite an experience and, unfortunately, I ain't seen nuthin' yet. There are still some aspects of the appearance of this template that I need to tweak -- just as soon as I figure out how. Or maybe I won't even bother. (Cue hysterical laughter.) Maybe I'll just enjoy all the pretty colors that attracted me in the first place and then, when I get tired of that, I'll go hunt down a different template to make me nuts. 

Just so it doesn't make my butt look fat.

Eh, keeps you out of trouble and off the streets. ;)

Wanna bet? (Wiggling eyebrows suggestively.)

I like it, Dee. And the typeface on this entry is exceedingly clear and easy to read. Otherwise, you can go in any disguise you like... but you can't hide!

Bex said...

Nice colors, clear typeface, and all in all a very pleasant aspect, Dee. I change mine now and then, but then I don't write that often anymore. This one looks quite lovely.

I like it too! The warm earthtones are beautiful.

I agree with John Bailey. The clarity is an asset for Old Guys. Also, it looks like you drafted something, thought better of it, ripped it out of your notebook, thought better of it, clipped it to the form and sent it anyway. Not that you would ever do such a thing...

Dee said...

Well, gee. You folks are all making me feel a lot better about this -- even if I still haven't figured out a couple of tweaks. Okay. Maybe I'll leave it alone for awhile. Thanks for the feedback, everyone!

I think it is pleasant as I have only my desktop wallpaper for a Fall scene.

I notice it I want to see the sidebar I must scroll right a little bit. Big deal, what does one expect with resolution at 800x600. :-)

Love the new look. Yep, love it, love it, love it!

Love it Lots!!! You're inspiring me...just as soon as I save my Geocities files from the electronic Yahoo-shredder. Procrastination is my middle name, lol!
