New layout-ish

New layout. Still needs some kinks worked out of it, so forgive me if you run into any. I need to get ready for work in like 5 minutes and don’t have time to work them out just yet. I think it’s mostly alright though.

Hershey Park was pretty fun. It was incredibly hot though. I had sweat pouring down my face the entire day. Gross. It was fun though. We watched my cousin Derrick play some of his sets (he’s working there for the summer and hooked Mike and me up with some free tickets). During one of those sets the giant kit kat bar made me get up and dance with it. Yeah really, I’m not kidding. I have a picture. I just need to get it developed. By the end of the day though I was totally ready to go home. I was gross and sweaty and a little sunburnt. Nothing like the last sunburn though. Yay for being some native american! Once I burn once I’ll burn just a little and it will fade into a tan within hours. I miss being pale though. All my clothes look weird on me when I have a tan. lol

Anyway, time to go work :(

[Edit] Fixed the comments form, thanks Elyse! I would have forgotten about that! :)

Sooo at work tonight, I managed to do something pretty fucking stupid if you ask me. Amy and I were putting a desk together for our back to school display and I was looking for a screw so I was crawling around on the floor and I managed to hit a thumbtacky nail sort of thing. Anyway, the sucker went straight into my wrist (right in between like eighty million veins thank god) and stay there. Kinda hurts, a bit. I am SO talented.

Besides that, with my Mother and Stan’s wedding coming up (September 29th) I’ve decided I definitely need to lose a few more pounds so that I can look super hot in my super hot dress. Ha. I need to get rid of some of the flab on my arms. So I think that I’m going to go join the gym by my work, Ronnie said that he’ll hook me up with an awesome deal so it should be affordable. I wanna try pilates or something. I dunno. I need to start working out. I’m in freaking terrible shape.

I also want to take ballroom dancing. They’re opening up a studio in my shopping center for that as well and I think it would be neat. Besides, Mike said he would take lessons with me. :) So I think that would be fun.

Gah I had so many things I wanted write and now I can’t remember half of them. I think I want to redo some of the sections on the site again. I’m just not sure what I want to do with them yet. So we’ll see on that one. I’m currently in the works on getting my portfolio and a new photos section up. The one I had over at L-S decided that it wanted to not let me upload photos anymore. How nice of it, yeah? So I installed a 4images gallery and I’m uploading photos when I get the time. I currently have about a quarter of all my photos uploaded. Mostly the newer ones. It’s just a bitch trying to find them all on my computer. I’ve moved so much stuff around that I haven’t the slightest idea as to where half of it is.

Anyway, I think that concludes the update. [/Edit]

Problem 1 with this layout - Black on black text for comment forms. GAH! It’s like I’m blind… only I can see everything else and blind people suck. MWAHAHAHAH! Making fun of people with difficulties is… rewarding?

I decided that today was my day to mow the lawn and I came inside all sweaty and gross… so I feel for you. At least you got to do fun things. I wish chocolate would come dance with me damnit!

Ooooh, I love the new layout! The images are so pretty. Everything seems to be working properly now. I didn’t notice anything wrong with it.

I joined the gym a while back when I had time to go. Now I have no time, and I’m still paying my monthly fee. Meh. But pilates definitely work. If you do them right, you DEFINITELY feel it the next day. And ballroom dancing classes? That’s so rad. Good luck with all of that.

*pounces* Yay! This new layout is fabulous! It’s dark, and mysterious, and full of emotion, and wow. I love the picture!

The whole tack incident sounds nasty.. It like, stuck itself in your wrist? *grimaces* That must have hurt like a bitch o.O

There are so many weddings going on at the moment. Good on you for going and setting yourself up with gym membership, it’ll pay off when you put the work in and you’ll look even hotter. Yowza xD

I can’t believe I just typed yowza o.O. Ballroom dancing lessons would be so fun, I used to dance when I was little and would love to go and do something like salsa :O funfunfun!

Gorgeous layout as always, Ashley. I really like the way you use black and gray. I usually prefer some color but this takes my breath away. Awesomeness! I am, again, quite jealous. ^^

Giant Kit-Kat Bar? *eyebrows* Interesting. Now that is a photo I have got to see in order to believe that you, A:, danced in public and B:, danced with a giant candy bar. *lmao* You rock, Ash. Hee hee!

Hello! I came across your site from my fellow online buddy Anes.

I must say your website is beautiful. I love your layout!

I’ve never been to Hershey Park, but I’ve been to Dorney Park and that place sucked! I had the worst sun burn in my life from there and I also hurt my back from those stupid body plunge water slides there.

But a giant Kit-Kat bar? HA! That sounds hilarious.

wow. hershey park. i live a whole 40 mins away from there. i see you are from MD, how long of a trek is that for you?

excercise-wise, kickboxing is pretty amazing. i bought a dvd at target & all you really need is little dumbell weights. a few little 10 min workouts each for your butt/things, arms, abs, basic stuff (works everything), and a crazy calorie burning one. pilates would be interesting :)

very lovely layout too. love the darkness of it!

It’s great that you had fun at Hershey Park. It’s been incredibly hot here in Belgium too. Though that’s over and done with now.

Ausj the wrist thing sounds painful! Luckily it didn’t hit any veins, cos it could have been a total mess.

Good luck on losing some weight for the wedding.

Oh and lovely layout!!!
