~I changed my blog look again! Surprise, surprise! (Like you hadn't already noticed that. Like it was totally necessary for me to point that out to you, right? Har, har.) Well, whatever. I mention this mostly for the sake of posterity.
And with that in mind, behold! My current header and background. *drumroll*
Now's the time for you all to tell me what you think of it. And I beg you to tell me that you like it because I'm sitting here at 12:42 pm, and I have to get up for work at 6:45 am, and it would just be such a shame to lose precious sleep for no reason. Don't you think so? I do.
~I went shopping at the thrift store today with my mom and bought FIVE shirts!! That's amazingly successful for me as I'm not a huge shopper and finding things I like is rather difficult (to say the least). I even found a shirt to match that skirt which has been hanging in my closet--untouched--for months simply because I had nothing to wear with it. Double success!! :D (Why am I telling you this? Who knows!)
~Status update on the Ask Me Anything Answer post (because you all really wanted to hear about this): I've currently answered 31 of the 102 questions so at this rate I should have the post up in another seven weeks or so. Of course once the questions are answered there's all the editing to do, and the pictures to insert and all that, which will take quite a bit of time, so...I'm guessing you can except to read the post sometime in June probably. (Okay, seriously. I will try to have it done before then! Thank you all again for your questions. I've had a lot of fun with them so far. :))
So tell me. What do you think of the new blog look? If you don't like it that's fine. (I'll just cry and feel depressed and consider myself a failure, but it's okay, really. I'm used to such feelings. Haha. ;))
Have a good night, my friends. (What's left of it.)
Yep. I approve. LOVE IT!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Naomi!! :D
DeleteLOVE the new blog look! Especially the wallpaper.
ReplyDeleteAnswer the AMA questions in batches. That makes it easier for you AND for us to read.
BTW, I tagged you here. Play if you want to :-)
Thank you! Oh yes, the wallpaper. It really is pretty, isn't? I've had that one saved for a while, waiting for the right opportunity to use it. :)
DeleteThat makes so much sense. Thanks for the suggestion. I think I had better do that. :)
Ooh, fun! I'll check it out!
Love the new look,Miss March!:) Can't wait to read the answer post!!! Glad you've been enjoying it.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Elinor!! :)
DeleteThe new blog look is lovely!!! <3 Thrifting!!!! You are speaking my language. That's awesome that you found some shirts! I'm looking forward to reading your, Ask Me Anything post! :D Blessings, my friend!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm glad you like it. :) And yes! Thrifting is so nice. (Especially nice on one's pocket book. Heehee. For all five shirts I only spent about sixteen dollars! Which was awesome. :)) Glad you're looking forward to it. :) Blessings to you as well, my friend!!
DeleteThe new look is lovely. I adore it. I have such a hard time blending deep pinks and purples but you handled it all very nicely! Did you get any rest by the way?
ReplyDeleteFIVE SHIRTS?? My stars what a miracle for you! Hahaha. I too know the struggle is real with clothes shopping. I hate shopping. I avoid it as often as I can. Seriously, I do. ;P
102 questions?????!!!!!!! HOLY COW!! That's insane. No wonder it is such a task for you. Sheesh!! Good luck with that! I wish I could somehow offer you my help..but that really wouldn't suit. I can't answer some of the questions with your brain. Pity, I would have taken a turn answer so you'd get a break. ;D Haha, sorry, that's totally random!
I'm looking forward to your next post!
Cordy
Awww. Thank you, Cordy!! I'm so happy you like it. :D Rest? What's that? Haha. :P No seriously, I guess I did. I rarely ever have a hard time sleeping once I finally get to bed. :)
DeleteA miracle indeed!! Haha. ;) I know right? Shopping can be so annoying. I've had more success with it in recent years, though, so I'm beginning to enjoy it a bit more than I used to. But still. I definitely have to be in the right mood for it.
I knoooow! It's a ton of questions, isn't it? I was really happy to get so many because, well...that's fun...but yeah, it's going to take me a while to answer all of them. :) Oh my. What a novel idea. If only you could help me in that way! Haha, it'd be a good trick if you could do it. (I love your randomness, Cordy!)
Aww. Thank you, dear!
~Miss March
P.S. By the way, I really like your new profile picture! :) (Surprise, right?)
Oh goodness, I haven't been in the blogging world in sooooo long! And it was SUCH a delight to have your blog be the first one to show up in my feed and getting to see these pretty colours!! Your blog look is Bee-yew-tee-ful! ^_^
ReplyDeleteBLESSING COUNTER!! Ohhh. I'm so glad to see you back! I've missed you! :) I suppose you must be busy with work these days. How's the new job going?
DeleteThank you for your sweet comment. I'm so glad you like the new blog look. :)
I love the new header! Of course I recognize Emma but what are the other pictures from?
ReplyDeleteCatherine
catherinesrebellingmuse.blogspot.com
The one on the right is from Amazing Grace and the one on the left is Little Dorrit. Both excellent movies. :)
DeleteThanks for your comment, Catherine!
Oh! Those two have been on my To Be Watched list for a bit now. I'll have to make an effort to find them now that I know Little Dorrit has Matthew Macfadyen in it.
DeleteOh, you really must! And Matthew Macfadyen is super good in that role. Love his character so much!
DeleteEeek!! YOUR NEW DESIGN IS BEAUTIFUL I LOVE IT. :D 'Hem. Seriously, though. It's so pretty. (And it has AG, Emma, AND LD all in one header!)
ReplyDeleteYay for shopping success! That's such a great feeling .
Wooow, 102 questions?? That's fantastic. You know, you could split them up into multiple posts? Maybe that would be less overwhelming? Just a suggestion. :) (And, you know, then you could post SOME of the answers because we're all dying to hear them. :D haha)
THANK YOU!! :D :D (Yeah, three of my favorite movies all together. Not bad, right? ;))
DeleteYou said it.
That is an excellent suggestion. I actually think I might do that. I'm just trying to decide now whether to split it into two or three posts (or four?). What do you think?
Sorry this is so late! Did you ever figure out how many posts you'll split it into? I'd say do whatever works best for you. :) We won't mind!
DeleteNot a problem! I actually managed to make a decision on my own. (Crazy, right? Haha. ;)) I've decided to split it into three posts. That way each post will have just about the same amount of questions. :)
DeleteHaha, good job! ;) Three posts sounds grand.
Delete;) Good. I'm glad you approve. :)
DeleteNo I VERY much approve of this header!! Romola Garai is one of my FAVORITE actresses, and IT'S BEEN SOOOOOOOO LONG SINCE I'VE SEEN AMAZING GRACE!!!!!! I need to watch it!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Erudessa. I'm so happy you approve of the new header. :) And YES! AMAZING GRACE!! That is such an awesome movie. Love it. <3
DeleteOoooooh!!!! Very nice!!! I love it. Truly marvellous job, Miss March!!!
ReplyDelete(And dearie me, shame on you, 12:42 and getting up at 6:45? I suppose now would not be the time to say I went to sleep about 12:30 last night and got up at 5:45 this morning. :p)
Okay, that is seriously amazing!!!! I am a super super picky clothes shopper too, and I rarely find things I like. And a shirt to match a skirt you've had and couldn't wear? That's awesome!!! I'm happy for you, I love those little successes. Seriously, I know what you mean, that's actually a pretty big deal!!
102 questions?!?! Dearie me!!! I shan't blame you in the least if we don't see it until June.
(I'll just cry and feel depressed and consider myself a failure, but it's okay, really. I'm used to such feelings.) Oh dearie me!!! That won't do!!! Miss March is far too marvellous and amazing to be accustomed to such feelings!!! You're such a wonderful person, please always remember that. :)
Aww, thank you so much, Rae!! :D
Delete(Shame on me? SHAME ON YOU!! What the world. Staying up till 12:30 and then getting up at 5:45!! I'm aghast. I never would have thought it of you, Rae. *chuckles profusely*)
Picky shoppers unite! (Heehee. :)) I'm so glad you understand about the whole shopping thing. I was just really thrilled over this success, and it's so nice to have someone who can sympathize and be happy with me. :)
Well, I shall certainly try to have it done before then, but thanks for understanding if it takes me a while.
Oh, don't worry. I was mostly kidding. (Though I do admit I have a tendency to cry and get down about things more often than I should...still I really wasn't about to do that in this case.) Awww, Rae. You are TOO kind. (Like would you stop being so nice to me already? ;)) Seriously though, thank you for your kind words, my friend. You're just the sweetest. *hugs*
What a very pretty new look. I approve. :)
ReplyDeleteOh yes, going shopping and actually BUYING things you need/want is great! :D
Wahoo, 31 out of 102 - you're getting there! :D Have you considered splitting it into parts so you can publish part of it so you feel better about yourself? ;)
~Miss Meg
Thank you. *bows*
DeleteIt totally is. :)
I actually hadn't considered it seriously, but now that a couple people have suggested that I split the post up I'm thinking I might just do that. Not for my own sake alone either but for everyone else's, because I certainly don't want to overwhelm everyone with an overly long post. :P Thanks so much for the suggestion, Miss Meg!
Ooh, fiddling with the blog look late at night... I did that recently, so you have my sympathies! But it was well worth it - the new look is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThrift shopping is great! ...and also frustrating when the thing you like isn't your size... but mostly great!
Looking forward to hearing your answers! (you said you've had a lot of fun with them so far... that sounds like there might be some excellently creative lies in there??) *crosses fingers*
Aww, and it's NOT fine for you to feel like that. But I suppose when you do, it's our job to inform you that OF COURSE your blog's new look is awesome and you're awesome and you probably needed sleep when you wrote that... xD
Thank you!! :)
DeleteOoh, yes! There is that. "I love this shirt so much!! Why couldn't it have been one size larger? WHY?" The trials of thrift shopping.
(Heehee. Maybe so. We'll have to wait and see. ;))
Haha. I wasn't really planning on feeling that way. I mean, I was mostly just kidding about that. ;) But yeah, I won't deny I needed sleep. 1:00 am really isn't the proper time to be writing cohesive blog posts! :P
Congratulations on your successful shopping trip! I love shopping and those victories give me so much happiness!
ReplyDeleteI love the way your header really pops out that plum as an accent color. It's very nice! :)
Thank you so much, Abby!! :) And I just have to say, I was really happy to see a comment from you again! I've missed you from the blogging world. Welcome back, my friend! *hugs*
DeleteI like the new blog look! It is very pretty!!!
ReplyDeleteI love it when shopping expeditions are a success! Especially when I find a blouse that goes with a couple of skirts, or a scarf that goes with an outfit, or a skirt that goes with a blouse. It's all wonderful! :-)
Thank you!! :)
DeleteYes, indeed! It's crazy sometimes how hard it can be to find things that match, so when you actually do it feels like a huge success! :)
Love you new blog look Miss March!!! <3
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear your anwers of the Ask me Anything post!
Thank you, dear. So glad you like it. :)
DeleteAnd yay! I'm really happy to hear you're looking forward to the answer post. Hopefully I can get it finished soon.
*I need to explain, Miss March! I had to comment on this post, because on your actual game post the computer completely refused my comment, no matter how many times or ways I tried. So I gave up and went to the former post. Sorry. I'm just mad at my computer. :P*
ReplyDeleteOh goody! I did feel like a game, and this does look like a particularly good one. Thanks, old chap. ;)
Just as a disclaimer, it's definitely challenging, in fact I only know 2, so I don't expect to do so very well with scoring etc. :P
A. with 12? And my guess would be the movie's Mary Poppins, and character 1 is Bert and character 2 is Mary Poppins.
B. with picture 9. It's the Sound of Music, and I thiiink the person who said it was Captain von Trapp.
C. with picture 2. Emma 2009. Character 1 is Mr. Knightley, character 2 is Emma Woodhouse. :)
D. with 10.
E. with 7.
F. with 3.
G. with 4.
H. with 5.
I. with picture 8. Character 1 is Fanny Dorrit, character 2 is Mrs. General.
J. with picture 1. The movie is Saving Mr. Banks, character 1 is Helen (or Pamela Travis ;)) and character 2 is... ehh... the shorter Sherman brother? :P Oh, dear... I can't remember anyone's names... sorry. :/
K. with 6.
L. with 11.
Well, that was fun, although I feel like I got most of those wrong, haha. :P Honestly, I'm not familiar with more than half of those pictures and quotes. We shall see. Now I'm curious. ;)
~Miss Meg
Ugh. Computers. They really are a trial to one's nerves, aren't they? Such ornery things. :P
DeleteI'm so glad you decided to go ahead and comment on this post though, 'cause having you play made it all the better! Thanks, Miss Meg! :)
Beautiful new look!!! :)
ReplyDeleteWow. Is that you, Monica?!! Goodness, it seems like such a long time since I've talked to you. I was thinking about you the other day and wondering how things were going with you. I hope all's well. *hugs* :)
DeleteOh, and thank you! I'm really glad you like the new look. ;)
Yes it is me!! *hugs* I know!! It's been SUCH a long time. Everything is well with me :) I've missed you all so much!! I definitely need to spend more time here <3
Delete*HUGS* So glad to hear things are going well for you! And yes, yes! You definitely need to spend more time here. I've missed you, friend!! *hugs again* :D
DeleteI love the new look it is so pretttttyyyyy!!!! Romola Garai is featured prominently... ;)
ReplyDeleteWow! Five shirts!!! Nice! Also now you can wear that skirt huzzah!!!! Skirts are fun!!
Looking forward to the answers post!!!!
Aw, thank you, Kate! :) Heehee. She is rather, isn't she? ;)
DeleteYes they are! Do you wear a lot of skirts?
Oh, I'm glad! I hope to have the first post done soon. :)
I'm sorry to say that I do not. In fact, I NEVER wear skirts... not because I don't love them but because it is so difficult to find nice modest skirts that are also attractive and my style...
DeleteOh, I completely understand. Finding clothes that fit all those preferences is TOUGH! Believe me, I know. :P
DeleteI do love this blog look!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAww, thank you!! :D
