After ten million years…

Right. (plops matter-of-factly down on a bean bag chair)

Of course we haven’t updated since the first entry (a month and a lifetime ago). What can you expect from a serial blog-starter? Life often so gets in the way of compiling decent material for a blog (rolls eyes). And we SO had such dreams for this place!

(sighs)

so what have we been up to lately?

i’ve been trying to get used to wordpress’ dashboard since i’m really not much of a techie and the only internet savvy i can boast of is i can surf the byte wave like a seasoned maui pro. i don’t know how to make all those cool picture presentations, what the heck CSS is (is it related to CSI?) and how can i get those nifty boxes that visitors can leave a message on? (sighs…slumps in bean bag, fist on chin.) it’s been so long since livejournal. now there are post slugs, blogrolls, categories, pages, posts, etc. etc. etc. i get so confused!

so while i’m familiarizing myself with all these new buttons and things, i signed us up for a flickr account. happily, we loaded our pictures and even put titles on them and grouped them in sets! unfortunately, a free account only allows you 200 pictures and i have to pay for a subscription. (pbhhhht!) so i go to photobucket. not as nice as flickr, but it’ll do. now i’m hoping that photobucket spiffs itself up, interface-wise. otherwise, it’s nice and spacious and you can even upload around 20 photos at the same time. i’ve yet to witness another obstacle to our uploading joy but so far, we’ve been okay. now it’s a matter of putting the photobucket pictures on the site.

we’ve also been preoccupied with work. (nuf sed. haha.)

but mostly, we’ve been adjusting to the fact that as of early january, travelling for two would be travelling for three now. (chesire grin) yep. we would’ve said something earlier if it hadn’t been for the delicate nature of my first trimester. of course, we’ll be writing about that later on. hopefully, my erstwhile companion would be induced to write a few lines instead of merely commenting with his usual ascerbic wit.

anyhoo, i and my tiny miracle of evolution be needing sleep now. (yawns) my snoring husband and our wonderful bed awaits.
