Advice Needed Please!

I have been looking for a new Blogger template and can't find any that really feel like they go with my blog. Don't get me wrong, I've found quite a few beautiful, compelling, silly, crazy, boring, and OK templates out there, but can't find the one.



One template site I like is located at suckmylolly.com. This lady has a definite style that is all her own and I like quite a few of her templates. There is one called "Where's Jack". A pic of it is below:







I think the template is very cute, but maybe too kiddy for my blog.



I also like the following one called "Flower Blue Border":







But it's also too simple for what I'm looking for.



I also liked the following called "Black Scrolly":







But then again, I like the background of the following template called "Eat my Cake":







The only reason why this template doesn't really fit my blog is because I'm not really trying to "have my cake and eat it too", though the pink frosting on the cupcake sure does look scrummy (I love the color of the frosting as well on this page).



I also LOVE the following template called "Mum 'n Bub":







The only problem with this template is that I'm not pregnant and my daughter is now 15. I do have a dog, but it's a creamy toy poodle, not that it truly matters, but I'm definitely not pregnant with a baby and cruising around with another baby in a carriage.



Suckmylolly, you are AWESOME in blog design! I checked and it looks like you are booked into the next century regarding creating new blog templates, so no luck there.



Does anyone have any advice? I definitely would appreciate it! I truly don't know what to do, but am getting really sick of the look of my blog and want to change it aesthetically.

No Time To Breathe

I have had no time today to do what I've wanted....not even enough time to post what I want here in this blog.

*sigh*

HoneyBunny Hard at Work

HoneyBunny got to go to work with me today since it's Saturday. She really didn't get a lot accomplished, though...

Silly, Fun Tests

Tonight I visited Hope's blog and saw that she took a test at BlogThings. It looked fun and I was in a silly mood and took the following two tests:


What Finger Are You?

You Are the Index Finger




You are ambitious, driven, and capable.

You aren't afraid to take responsibility for your actions - or place the blame on whoever deserves it.

You are honest, free thinking, and objective. You see things in your own way - and you aren't afraid to let everyone know about it.

You get along well with: The Thumb

Stay away from: The Ring Finger



What Does Your Name Mean?





You are very open. You communicate well, and you connect with other people easily.

You are a naturally creative person. Ideas just flow from your mind.

A true chameleon, you are many things at different points in your life. You are very adaptable.

You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection.

You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.
You have the classic "Type A" personality.

You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life.

You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home.

You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble.

You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out.

Success comes rather easily for you... especially in business and academia.

Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You're a strong person.

You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone.

You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together.

At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.

You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something.

You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense.

You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun.

You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing.

You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long.

You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.

You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.

You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.

You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy.

You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.



Sometimes it's fun to take silly tests. I wish the statistics tests were like this!

Praying to the Porcelain Gods





I was at home again today. Last night my bed was the toilet and I was sick as a dog. I started feeling better last night until after eating dinner. I didn't eat much, but it was enough to make me ill all over again.



I'll be working all weekend to make up the time. Ugh...

I am SO Sick of Bathrooms!

Last night in statistics I got sick. No, I don't mean sick of the class, I mean physically sick. I ended up going to the bathroom MANY times and then got home and was in the bathroom the rest of the night. I wasn't able to go to work today. I'm feeling a bit better as long as I don't eat.

I'm feeling a bit better emotionally. Maybe I was just getting sick yesterday which made me feel a bit down. I have no idea, but I'm better.

I'm sure most of you have heard of Lily Allen, but I just learned about her tonight. She is a musician from England and is quite artistic. If you haven't seen her, watch her latest video called, "Alfie". It made me laugh quite a bit!

Melancholic Today

I am at the university waiting for my statistics class to start. I am so very tired today. I worked, rushed to school through major traffic jams and am now waiting to start a four-hour, mind-numbing class. By the time I get home it will be 10:30pm, and I'll run to take a shower and collapse into bed in order to start another day.

I'm not very happy today. I think I'm just tired. In a way I feel a bit down. Melancholic is more the word. I wouldn't say all the way depressed, but I am down. I need to watch myself and be very aware so that I don't hurdle through the downward spiral.

Ugh....
