And now a special word from yours truly....

The past two days have been very worrisome for me and if anyone has tried to check my blog, I'm sorry but there were terrible technical errors. I was checking my comments yesterday and all of a sudden all I had on my screen was HTML code. When I checked it on the computer at work, it only had the Blogger header at the top - no message, no nothing. Of course, I panicked. I wrote to the Blogger support people, but I only got answers back that had nothing to do with the problem I had. So today, I'm checking my blog, and sure enough, the same thing - HTML code!!! Aaaahhhhhh!! I logged in under my username and I just HAPPENED to check my template and.......3/4 of it is GONE!!!! All of the hardwork that I had put into ALL of my links - buttons and everything - GONE! So...using my critical thinking skills acquired from nursing school (they really have come in handy!!) :) I created a new blog and copy and pasted the HTML code from there into my blog and started creating all of my links and button links over again. Where the rest of my original template went, I'll probably never now - I'm just sure it was templatenapped. :)

As a service to my fellow blogger friends, I encourage you to go into your template and copy/paste the template in a type of Word document so you have it saved somewhere in case this happens to any of you. You'll be so happy you did!!

No exciting knitting news here on the home front. Although the weather does present a fine opportunity to do just that. Freezing rain is in the forecast for the rest of the evening and night. Jezabell experienced the first of what is to come when she went slipping and sliding across the back porch to go potty. Wasn't her idea of a good time! I think she thought I did it to her on purpose! I'll try to take and post pics tomorrow.

We did have plans for a birthday party tomorrow for the hubby and his sister, but due to the weather it's being postponed. I will be going to pick up the cake though - I can't let a Raspberries N' Creme cake go to waste now can I? :) I'll have to take pics of it too!

I went and picked up a gift for one of the nurses that's leaving our unit to go back to her home state. I purchased a frosted 16 oz. glass that has the state of Oklahoma pictured on it with key places in Oklahoma to visit. I thought it would be a good reminder of us and this wonderful state when she looks at it. The shop I purchased it at is called Route 66 and is located in 50 Penn Place. It is such a cool shop and they have an awesome Soap Bar. While I was there, a member of a new band called Horseshoe Road was there. His name is Kyle Dillingham - a very nice gentleman. Since I'm always willing to try new music, I purchased the groups debut album and the songs are awesome. Definitely worth checking out!

  • Hey Kay - I did receive your comment on "can anyone see this". During that time I was trying to fix everything then I just went back and deleted that entry - that's why you don't see your comment or that entry. Thanks for checking in one me to make sure bloggerland didn't suck me in!! :)

  • Jen, thanks for the heads up. As a new blogger I don't know all these things. I will take your advice and save my page.

  • I've know Kyle Dillingham since he was 11 years old--never mind how old I was! He's a really neat young man and extremely talented.
    Also, I love Route 66 store. I buy her soaps a lot, they make your skin feel soooogood. Anita

  • So glad you were able to recover your blog! I wondered what had happened. I too will take your advice and save the template - who would have thought!!

    And NEVER let a Raspberries and Cream cake go to waste - LOL!
