Pic of the Day ~ Becca on this Rainy Day in California

Aloha! Ok my child is starting to show signs of sensitivity. While watching her favorite television program, “Dora the Explorer”, Becca started getting extremely anxious. Now I would like to note that, normally Dora only brings my child much joy & happiness or else I would not allow her to view it. However, one episode (actually only one scene in that episode) freaks poor little Becca completely out! It is the frog episode. Part of Dora’s adventure is to go through the Echo Bush (I tried to find a picture of this demon Echo Bush but could not find one), everytime Dora & her trusty side-kick Boots have to go through the Echo Bush Becca goes into hysterics!! This morning she ran over to J & J had to hold her until Dora was safely throught the echo bush and well on her way. It is so scary to watch her react so strongly to this character!!! Poor kid must think the Echo Bush is going to eat her beloved Dora!! I am sure if Becca has nightmares, they would include the demon Echo Bush. Ironically, when J was searching for a picture of the Echo Bush, he found this link to Amazon.com where another mother expressed concerns that her child too got upset when seeing the episode with the dreaded Echo Bush. Crazy, eh?

Geeks’R'Us and we are still all addicted to the PS2 game :P We are on the final level, so we may complete it before the New Year!

I worked on the new theme for this blog today. I am so damn tooting proud of myself. I finally coded my own theme. My head is still spinning from all the code I looked at and all the re-dos and uploads I did on the server. Thank goodness it is the end of the month because I am sure we are close to our upload limit on our server :P If your browser did not automatically refresh to the new theme Corset. Check out the Theme Switcher and come on over. I think it is beautiful, however I am very biased since it is my baby :)

chinese foodMmmm so we had our New Years Eve treat of Chinese Food…Mmmmm…I am such a geek. As I have mentioned before I totally love the take-out containers we get here in California *sigh* Just like the ones you see in the movies…..So ofcourse I had to take a picture!!!

Onto the subject of Wordpress 2.0….For those of you that are not into the whole geek thing skip this part for it will be dreadfully boring….I had upgraded to WP2.0 a few days ago and was disappointed to discover two errors that I found. #1 My comments remained at 0 no matter how many comments were left. This hurt my ego seeing 0 comments :( Long & behold I was not alone & it had to do with my Spam plugin not compatible…blah blah blah…So I deactivate and I am trying out the new Akismet Plugin that came with WP2.0. #2 No matter what I tried I could not seem to upload pictures through WP. This was the one feature I was really excited about. As you all know I post a pic a day, so this was a major bonus for me. After posting on the WP support forums, I finally got it all sorted out. YAY!~

All in all a GREAT day for me & Wordpress!!! New Theme….Not broken….I am content. And I already have some new ideas for the next theme :P end of geekness.

Finally I want to do a shoutout to Marz who started her first blog!!! We will convert the non-believers and some day blogger will rule the world! So make sure you stop by Marz’s blog and say HI!
