It's here!

OK, I'm working on my template and I've hit a little snag. I want to do graphical buttons for my navigation menu instead of text, but I can't figure out a picture to represent a couple of them. Obviously, Home is a house, Gallery is a camera, Contact is envelope, but About and Archives have me stumped. A book maybe for archives? Does that make sense. Mind you, when you hover over the button, it will have text of where it goes, but I'm stuck. Disclaimer I'm thinking of moving out of the nav, but if you got a good idea for that one, I'm all ears.

Of course, these may come to me after a good night's sleep. I had a rotten day at work today and my brain is a little muddy from that. I thought I'd be in a better mood once I got out of there, but the heat today just made me cranky.

How can the weekend be over aleady? Man, I am so happy and excited about how my new design is shaping up that I don't even want to go to work today just to play with it. I have, however, discovered that I really suck (for now) at illustrating people. I need to practice that and get better. I can see it in my mind, I just can't quite transfer it to pixels. No worries.

OK, I understand people paying large sums of money to get something that is sold out of a store right before Christmas. But paying inflated prices on eBay for an iPhone when there is plenty in stock still and you can order them for retail directly from Apple's web site? That I don't get. People are dumb.

w00t! Just won a $5 Amazon gift certificate for searching on Blingo! I was really hoping for iTunes gift certs, but I'll take Amazon. There's tons of stuff I want on their site, too.

See, you really do get stuff by searching through those sites! Hey, become my Blingo and/or Winzy friend and sign up through my badges in my sidebar. Why not take the chance of getting some cool free stuff doing something you already do everyday anyway?
