Testing. Is this thing on? HON! HELP!
February 21st, 2008
I shouldn’t be trying to sit down right now, as I have kids clamoring for snacks and treats and pet unicorns and BALL! and MAMA! but I really wanted to write a quick test post to kick the tires of this new theme Matt set up. He worked pretty hard on it, and then worked even harder fixing everything that inadvertently got messed up in the process.
…..
Siena claims that a kid at her school has a cat named Mr. Poopins. I don’t know if this is true or not, but the name has infiltrated every sentence to leave her mouth for the last half-hour. (”Elliot! Give me the Mr. Poopins toy! Mama, it’s time for the Mr. Poopins treats now. I need some apricots and some Mr. Poopins.”) Like many of my favorite swear words, it seems to function equally well as noun, adjective and verb.
…..
Time to hit “Publish” and see if the Tech Support Team at catnamedpig knows their stuff or not. Since changing the website doesn’t involve paintbrushes or rollers, I’m feeling optimistic that I won’t have to spend the evening pointing out flaws in the thing he worked on all day, like I occasionally typically do after home improvement projects.

Mr. Poopins lives. . . with Oliver. Olly often displays (scratch) evidence of Mr. Poopins on his cheeks and arms. It’s not easy being Oliver’s Mr. Poopins.
Thanx for the photo of Pig. Orange and white, just like Siena said.

I like the new format!

Also love the new format AND love that someone actually named their cat Mr. Poopins! Are you serious?!

I like the new format too. And Kay – did you really post that at 12:22am? How in the world do you stay awake that long after taking care of our crazy kids all day?!

I like the new format as well, though the comments have been dropped off of Matt’s and Siena’s sections. Jamie, I think the comments clock is showing GMT or something. I’m posting this at 10:10am CST.

Oh good one. I posted mine this morning and it showed 3:44pm.
Okay Tech Support Team – there’s an edit you can make (CST).
I should really be doing work.

The new site looks great! I’m going to have Mr. Poopins stuck in my head all day now. I hope I don’t let it slip out in any of my meetings today.

Thanks for the feedback and corrections needed. I think I’ve fixed most of them.
*Time was set to GMT, but is now CST and should show up correct from here on out. I’m going to try to edit the time stamp on the comments, so they show up correctly. We’ll see how that goes.
*Comments are back on our Pages, so we’ll try to post updates there, but baseball season is here, bringing back all those Johan emotions from a few weeks ago, so I may hold off a little bit.
*Any typos/formatting errors are hopefully fixed, to.
