and if you see christine today, please CONGRATULATE HER on a JOB WELL DONE!

many many changes, plus more to come.  she figured out all kinds of things, like how to get all the archived stuff with photos to this new site, even though it’s something that has been vexing her for YEARS and it all seemed futile but then she FIGURED EVERYTHING OUT.

and now i just want a couple more things added and then it will be PERFECT.  maybe i’ll even learn how to add them MYSELF.

the funny thing, of course, is she’s doing this all in the midst of my furious packing/painting/moving.  so she’ll call me and tell me about the site things blah blah blah and i really REALLY try to focus on what she’s saying but i keep thinking to myself I’M ALMOST OUT OF BLUE EDGING TAPE!  I NEED MORE BOXES!  THE GARDEN NEEDS TO BE TILLED BEFORE WE MOVE AND THE FLOWERS PLANTED SO IT LOOKS PRETTY!

so even though christine managed to do all this miraculous great stuff with the site…i’m not sure exactly how it was accomplished.

so i’m just saying she did it by MAGIC.

i was lying in bed this morning debating about taking my usual three motrin at a time, not wanting to get out of bed to get it, and finally staggered into the kitchen to get it.  i went back to sleep finally and had a lengthy dream of showing the new site to people and the site actually did look LIKE MAGIC, with many glittery magical things, including different elaborate introductory scenes that looked like scenes out of disney animated movies.

at least i wasn’t dreaming about the usual boring things.  mom said she was dreaming about a BOWL OF RICE the other night.  clearly the boring dreams are hereditary.

i want to post some more photos up here (they wouldn’t post when christine was working it all out before) but first i want to take a couple more pictures and then i have to do a little bit of touch up painting in the bedroom and then i really want to wash mollie because she’s smelly but i wonder if that will kill my back and then i have to go help mom pack.

so much to do and it’s not even eight a.m.!

ok already,

all-new grace site.

P.S. REALLY EXCITING is that finally i’m able to have COMMENTS again!  very very exciting. so please, comment away.  i’m waiting to hear from all you chinese readers out there.
