What Do You Think?

Mon, Jun 30th 2008, 05:35

So, what do you think about my new look?

I think it's super cute, but that's just my opinion.

I get bored with things pretty quickly, so I suddenly had the urge to change things up a bit. I was playing around with photoshop and I liked what I did, so I went with it!

The banner has a picture of the Dresden Panorama, and I also tried to incorporate a "mail theme". Anyways, Mike said it was very "girly", and I said, "Well, I'm a girl!".

The title is new as well. There is a story behind it...

I had a summer job where I worked in the dorms during conferences at NAU. I lived there with the rest of the staff, so we spent lots of time together. They quickly learned that there were lots of things that I didn't like, such as the salad dressing touching the other food on the plate, being touched, or speaking to people before 10am, etc.

One of my co-workers suggested we make a list of the things "Tessa Disapproves of", but then she said,

"No, that would be too long. It would be much easier if we just made a list of things "Tessa Approves of". That would be much shorter.

So it kind of became a running gag. If I liked or disliked something, they would say "Tessa does/does not approve".

Anyways, I approve of this blog and its super cute new layout.

We finally got curtains. But they seemed to only sell really long, floor-length curtains. The woman at Toom said we could get them custom-made, and I said "Yeah, right!"

I decided that I would attempt to cut and hem the curtains on my own. I've never actually hemmed anything in my life, but how hard can it be?

Well, it was a little tricky, but I did it. And now my curtains are slightly crooked, but they are hanging and doing their thing. So I am happy.
