Miracle of Miracles!

I was beginning to think it would never happen, that it was just a myth like sitings of Big Foot or Nessie. But, lo and behold, the legendary website update is complete! And I didn't have a nervous breakdown! That, my friends, is a miracle.

If you had asked me last night (or was it this morning at about oh-dark:30 while the electricity was going OFF AND ON), there would've been no doubt, oh yeah, breakdown's a given. While working on the update, I thought I'd gotten a big mess of my own making figured out and finally tried to publish about 6 hours' worth of work when I got a pop-up that told me "This page does not exist or cannot be read". What?!? All forward progress came to a screeching halt. There was no publishing happening after that bit of good news. How my head kept from shooting like a rocket off my shoulders, I will never know. Disgusted with the whole thing, I decided to close it down for the night. That's when I got the boogey man of all pop-ups: "Yahoo Sitebuilder has recovered from a serious error. Please send a report to help us better understand blah, blah, blah..." That's when I thought, well, there goes my website down the toilet. Completely drained (no pun intended), I stumbled off to bed to bury my head and forget the whole thing. Yeah, right.

After a refreshing 3 hours of sleep, I couldn't stand it any longer. With a glimmer of optimism, I stumbled back to the computer to try once more to publish my blood, sweat, and tears (well, there was definitely sweat involved). I clicked the button and covered my face with my hands. My youngest, Jared, had wandered in to see what the fuss was about (he likes to be informed). I gave him a quick rundown and told him to be prepared for a hissy fit if things didn't work. He said, "Mom, look!" I almost couldn't do it, but peeked between my fingers and saw the publishing in progress. Yeah! Old person happy dance! The rest of today has been spent doing nitpicky stuff and there is still work to be done, but the majority of it is ready for public inspection. So, go take a gander at all my hard work and let me know what you think. And, you know, no pressure or anything, but you BETTER LIKE IT! Just kidding! ;^)
