Thank you everyone for your concern and sympathy ... and a special shout out to those of you who drank through the crisis with me.

All hail Ali at Mission Field Designs, who replied to my desperate, groveling, down on my hands and knees email within minutes and had me up and running in no time. Once she'd done her part though of course it took me F*O*R*E*V*E*R to put every single link and sidebar doo-hickie back on. I'm a total clutz, I swear some days I seriously don't think.

For quite some time now I've been working off-line on a new blog (well actually a couple) - you know coming up with a few designs, typing posts on my Windows Live Writer ready to 'publish' etc etc. Today I decided to actually get one blog set up on-line ... mainly for fear of the name I'd chosen being snapped up by somebody else before I used it. So I set up an interim template, but it didn't work with my first post so I clicked to add a different one and low and behold I added the new template to my personal blog. I immediately started sweating, my vision blurred, I said a few obsenities and then went into panic mode ... including forcing Jay to come home from a playdate so he could help with the babies while I had a meltdown, chugged some wine and attempted to stop hyperventilating. For now the new blog is private while I continue adding things to it but it will be launched when I return from vacation ... hopefully ... as long as a certain someone (oh yes, you know who you are) does their part so a certain somebody else can do their part. Sorry to keep you in the dark but I don't want to rush into these things, I'd hate to launch a half assed job that's not up to any my normal standard just to get it out there.

Anywho, so now I have no time to do a real post today gosh dang it. So for a quick run-down of today's events:

* I have almost finished knitting myself an earflap hat. That's right, I taught myself how to use circular knitting needles. Oh yeh, I'm pretty happy with myself ha ha. Tomorrow I teach myself how to use double pointed needles. I'd really appreciate some tips from all the knitting gurus out there ... anyone ... anyone???? If my hat works out then I'll be making them for the 3 kids too. I picked up some really cute yarn today so I really want to get them done. Oh yeh, there may even be some leg warmers and gloves being made too ... if I figure out how the heck to make them.

* I worked my big 'ole butt off at a stroller class this morning. Oh yes I did. I actually turned up. Woot Woot. We worked out next to a playground so my big kids got to go into the playground ALL BY THEMSELVES. *sigh* They are getting so big. Can you believe it. There was no high equipment, just a large playground with a lot of different 'toddler' size structures and don't worry 3 sides of the playground had fences and the 4th side was facing us working out so we could see if any munchkins escaped. They had so much fun. Marisol came running over to me a half dozen times to check in give me a kiss before running back to have fun with her brother. I didn't get photos. My teacher may have had a few choice words to say if I pulled out the camera, ignored the class and madly started snapping pictures. I did pull out my Blackberry at one point but the kids looked like itty bitty specs and it was hard keeping the phone straight while I was doing crunches and push-ups. Must practice holding a camera and working out at the same time.

I've got nothing else for you today. Sorry. Oh actually yes I do, I was going to do a book review today but gosh dang it, it's 1am and I'm exhausted. I'll do it tomorrow instead. Nighty night.
