I have been playing with the idea of moving to wordpress....i designed a page, added links to it...basically copied this whole blog to wordpress...but i dont know if im diggin it too much.....i am so used to blogger...i know all the ins and outs of it....but wordpress has snow ;) There are things on blogger that i like....the blog roll is updated by newest entry...i cant figure out if wordpress has that.....i like the little tabs on the top on wordpress...but would i use them?
I get bored and i want to change things....but why? If i like it here....why am i trying to switch? I guess its boredom ;)

Last night me and my mom went to the mall to go christmas shopping....i got the majority done...adam is done, my mom and dad are done...kids are done....all i have left is little odds and ends....
I have to figure out what i am doing as far as baking. i have to make 7 tins of chocolate covered pretzels for Angelica's teachers. I want to make THESEand THESE ...and maybe add them to the tins....we'll see :)
Tonight i have to go to see Angelica's christmas recital at her school....i want to try and get adam to run back to the mall afterwards...i need two little gifts.

Question:
My family (if you read my blog you know) revolves everything around food....well Christmas Eve we do the "7 Fishes" which mostly consists of fried food....my mom makes fried shrimp, bacala(cod..battered and fried), clams casino, crabs and spaghetti, cocktail shrimp, smelts (some gross fish) and i actually cant remember what else....anyway....i was thinking of bringing a few dishes (maybe a salmon dish and maybe some sushi rolls??) that are a little healthier than all the fried stuff.....
so my question is this....do you think my mom will get insulted if i bring this up to her? I want to say something but im afraid she will get upset. They put a lot of time and money into doing christmas eve dinner. My husband even thinks all the fried food is crazy...and he is like me and even though he likes the fried stuff too, would rather eat a little better.
now dont get me wrong...i love all the food...but such a fattening dinner...along with all the desserts and everything...it gets to be a little too much....so at least if there is something healthier there....i wont eat as much of the bad stuff if i eat the healthier food.
Because i have to get in the swing of things....this saturday will be 27 weeks i think?? Something like that....i need to make real changes this year....because im coming home with a figure girl trophy this year!!!!

I don't see anything wrong with bringing a healthier option. It's not like you're telling anyone NOT to make what they are already intending on making, you're just bringing another dish for the meal. I once brougtht a huge salad to my niece's bday party when I knew they having pizza, just so I could eat something healthy, and everyone loved it and was thrilled that I brought it. And who knows, maybe you'll start a new tradition with some healthier foods.
I'm tempted to switch to WordPress, too. I think the blogs look cleaner and more streamlined. Too funny about the snow!! :)
What if you just asked your mom if she minded if you helped by bringing on of the fish dishes? Then you could just bring the healthy fish you want.
Let us know how it goes!! and go get that figure trophy!
You can do the snow effect in blogger too. Just google "snow effect" and blogger and it will give you the html code to cut in past on your layout page.
If you really think your family will be upset if you bring it up, you can just bring a few extra dishes without saying anything, put some of their food on your plate and maybe eat one or two bites, but that's it. That way it looks like you are eating and enjoying it, but you are really eating your own food. I know how moms can be. I love your new blogger layout!
Hi Angela - we love your blog! Best of luck with your training for the fitness competition. We hope you've had a chance to try the Bora Bora sample bars we sent you. We can't wait to hear your feedback, thanks and have a great holiday!

Personally, just ask your Mother about this. Just explain that it's something you feel you need to do, and that whatever happens, you are not going to be doing what you plan to hurt anyone, or because you have developed a problem with anyone, but just because it's something you need to do for you.
If she has a problem with that, then that's her problem not yours, which you should never feel guilty for.
The main thing is you must do what you think is right, especially for you and your needs to.
Good luck and best wishes.

I think you can bring it up to her and hope for the best. You would still eat a little fried stuff so she knows its not like you're snubbing your nose at it...but it really boils down to what you and Adam put into your body should be YOUR CHOICE and if you want to bring something healthier, it's not like you're making anyone else eat it...
Let me know how it goes!
Also, I have toyed with the idea of switching to word press but honestly, I just like blogger too much. I am so comfortable here. I just hope that one day they will add the tabs. I'm sure it's just a matter of time.
Genie, don't switch! Just find a different template if you want cleaner lines. No twinny, don't go!
Wordpress takes time to get used to but once you do you won't want to go back!
