Hello Beautiful!!

Hello yourself, wink wink.
(This is of course my blog speaking, because she IS gorgeous, is she not?)

I spent a good many hours today tweaking and primping my page (hours that, I guess could have been spent packing, but hey, there's no day like tomorrow right?) and after all the sweat and tears my soul produced, I have to say I am quite happy with it. However, there is one discrepancy; I cannot take credit for that pretty pink flower... I stole it off another blog. BUT, I will probably change it soon, so that I can take full and sole ownership over my design and not feel like such a scam artist (in the most literal sense of the word). I do think I should get some credit for fessing up although, should I not?

Either way, I did spend quite a bit of time on this. One, because trying to figure out how to create three columns and tweaking the HTML was a bitch, and two, because when it comes to creative endeavors, I am one seriously raging, manic perfectionist. It's as if I save all the perfectionism that should exist equally in my day to day actions and force it entirely on the right side of my brain. I will go back SEVERAL times and change even the slightest "mistake" that no one other than myself will ever see. And still they exist, and torture me. I must have like nine or ten copies of my banner up there, that are all just ever so slightly different. One has "ON A WHIM" a little more to the right, one has it closer to the top, one has the flower showing a little too much gray around the bottom for my liking. While writing this I made a new one that had a little more space between the words and the flower......help me?

The same thing happens when I write. Although I usually ignore my punctuation mistakes (I'm the self proclaimed "Queen of Run-on Sentences, that tries to disguise them in parenthesis". It's a covenant title.), I have on many, many instances gone to bed, only to get out twenty minutes later to change one word. ONE word!

Seriously? I need a life.
