The new theme is almost complete and I can not wait to get it up and running. I won’t tell you anything about it expect that it includes the colors white, black, blue, yellow, maroon, forest green, and a light lime green. Did I mention that I CAN.NOT.WAIT???

In the mean time, more news of my mom’s new found interest. Blogging. She’s not reading anyones, not even her own daughter’s, but she wants to have her own. She tells me she wants to name the blog “Diet and Nutrition: A Dietitian’s Blog”. How very original of you mom. And she tells me she wants to have contests and such, “You know, like Pioneer Woman” she says. Ok, that ones my fault. When I first became obsessed with PW I showed my mom one night and she got into her too. For a week. I keep telling her it took PW about 2 years to get the amount of traffic she gets on-the-daily and and it’s not normal. I tell her that everyone else really only blogs not for their visitors but for themselves. It’s an online journal after all. I’m giving her plenty of time to think it over and I’m hoping she’ll change her mind.

It’s not like I mind her online. Not at all actually. I’m the one who set up her facebook account only to have my brother shut her down. He didn’t want her on facebook and I understand his point of view but my mom and I are really close so it’s not like she’s going to see/read something she doesn’t already know. And I would LOVE for her to read my blog. Even more though, I want her to really get into PW because I know she will love her. But her? Blogging? I don’t think she understands all that goes into it. Especially if she’s wanting it to become popular enough to have contests…with winners and all. Take that back, I know she doesn’t understand. I just don’t want her to be disappointed.

Tomorrow morning bright and early I have to be at the hospital for orientation, so technically tomorrow’s my first day but other than that I have no idea when I start. I really hope I start Wednesday afternoon because Neil and I are in dire need of some moo la but I’m afraid if I start this week then I will (holy shit I just heard something very scary outside. sounded like something ..like an animal?…trying to get in the back door!!!) have to work this weekend. I already have plans to go to Louisville this weekend with Emmy. I could just say “uh I can’t” but I really need this job and asking off in the first week? I don’t think my employers will fancy that much.

To come tomorrow: my spring class schedule. I know you want to see it.
