Finally linked to the website

I hope everyone has had a good weekend. Since tomorrow is MLK day, we (meaning my DH, kids and I) have the day off tomorrow so it's an extended weekend here. Tomorrow will probably be spent catching up on housework (YUCK!!) Today we had a family get-together with DH's side of the family to celebrate the January birthdays. It's kind of a neat thing that my inlaws do... that side of the family is pretty large and it's easier to celebrate birthdays all at once for the month (of course the birthday person does whatever they'd normally do to celebrate on their actual birthday). It's a great time for all of us to catch up on how everyone is doing, what the latest family news is, exchange the family b-day cards and of course eat lots of good food :)

Anyhow, since we were gone for a good portion of the afternoon, we missed the first football game. Bummer. Oh well, we were able to watch the 2nd game and will definitely be watching the SuperBowl in a couple of weeks!

After we got back home, I thought I'd try to figure out how to link this blog to the main website. That turned out to be a bigger hassle than I originally thought! The shopping cart program I use is very powerful but it's not always user-friendly on my end of things. I have a couple of good tutorials, can get to a really helpful forum, but what I wanted to do wasn't spelled out anywhere that I could find it. Anyway, after searching for instructions on how to add an external link in a specific box for about 4 hours, I finally figured it out by trial and error. Of course it was one of the simplest of things I've done yet (AFTER I tried a dozen things!!), but it's done now. I told my DH that it was actually an easy task after all that searching, and he just chuckled... he said he tells his students at school that many times the answer to a problem is the easiest solution. I didn't need to hear that at the time but I just let it go at that.

We'll see what tomorrow brings besides laundry. I have more computer work to do but that's best left until DH and the kids are back at school. I never know when I'm going to get called into work so it's hard to plan from day-to-day. I'd like to just put my audiobook on (DH got me an Ipod Touch for Christmas :) ) and start knitting another pair of socks but we'll see how things go.
