You may have noticed a slightly different look to my blog. Or maybe you didn’t and you are just really unobservant. In which case, allow me to point out the obvious.Â
I have new, shiny digs.Â
I booted Big Red. It was time. She was annoying me. I can’t have another woman showing me up with her big boobs and itty bitty waist on my own damn website. One of us had to go, her or me. Since I’m the one paying the hosting fees and doing all the grunt work I figured it ought to be her.
Not that I don’t totally rock a bikini. I do. Really. Dammit, why are you laughing???
It was time for a change. I wanted something a little visually simpler, something that would load a little quicker and make me smile each and every time I saw it instead of making me want to race to the gym and bust my ass to look like Big Red.
Not that I don’t totally look like her, but with blonde hair.Â
I do.
Really.
Big thanks to Shaz from Swank Web Style Design Studio for putting up with my incessant emails, constant whining and slightly annoying tendencies of nit-picking.
Now when I see my web page, I chuckle instead of feeling the urge to break a sweat and do 50 crunches. Frac, however, may not feel the same way since it’s his image forever captured in a two year old temper tantrum, which is now plastered on my banner.
I really am gunning for that coveted Mother of the Year Award.
An added bonus to the redesign is now when the kids are misbehaving all I have to do is grab my camera and tell them to hold still, I need a new picture for my next blog layout.
I don’t make idle threats so their behaviour miraculously improves.Â
I suppose Gay Ray could have told them that, though.
Snicker.
For those of you who pop by to ogle the hot chick with flaming red hair and stay for the potty talk, I promise you, nothing else has changed. I’m still the same immature dirty girl I’ve always been.
Dildos and dead kids, that’s my motto. Â (Unless you are a an adoption case worker, in which case, I’m totally just joking. Cross my heart.)
Sit back and enjoy the new digs. And while you’re at it, let me know what you think. Feedback is always valued.
I’m a big girl. I can take it.Â
And if I can’t, I’ll just find an image of you, bust out the ole creative photoshopping skillz and dedicate a post in your honour.
Wink.

It’s not the package that counts…it’s the contents!!

I have to admit it is growing on me.
Plus I don’t want any weird shots of me floating around out here, unless I put them there that is…LOL!
Kelley
well you already know I think it is the bees knees, or Gay Rays testicles, or like really good and stuff.
Come to think of it Gay Rays testicles is an insult isn’t it. So scratch that, I just like saying Gay Rays testicles.
But I do have a complaint. Where is the pic of my biatch? Chuck that baby back in the sidebar woman, I love coming here and blowing you big fat girly kisses.
jen
i love it, babe.
Pallavi
Hey! I got to win an award here. I’m the one who noticed the new look first, while everyone else was busy laughing at your snide remarks to BPD
Go check my comment on your last post

I like the old site better.
Kyla
Looks good on you.
maggie
Sorry, I love the old girl. Made more of a statement and stood out from the crowd of mommy bloggers…

I’m liking the change, but you know I’d come hang out here even if you rocked a standard-issue Blogger template for two years or more.
Oh, wait. That’s mine. Heh.

The new design is much more content focused — which, hello, is why we come here. And gigantic header images seem a bit dated at this point, in my opinion. Looks great!
Petunia
I really don’t have the right to judge since I am too cheap to shell out for a proper design and just use a blogspot template (I just like playing around with the different color variations myself!), but anyway I have to say I’ll miss Big Red. Noticed the new design yesterday and saw it again today and hasn’t quite grown on me yet, but we’ll see! There’s nothing like a good temper tantrum, whether you’re 2 years old, 22 or 72!
Regardless, I come to read your blog because your writing makes me smile and takes me away from Sudan, so I’ll be back either way. Keep on keepin’ on, girl

love the new banner and updated site! Love even more your hilarious posts!
Kaila
I too, miss Big Red, but this template is also quite pleasing to the eye.
KD @ A Bit Squirrelly
I love it! The only thing is that I have to scroll across my page to see it all. IDK if that is just me, but thought I would throw that out there! Looks great!

Great looking new layout but maybe you should keep some eye candy up for us guys. How about, I dont know, somebody in their famous purple shirt?
Jacquie
I like it just fine, but I do miss Big Red and the way she would claw at your post titles. It would be way cool if you could animate that tantrum, but please – no sound.
sam {temptingmama}
It’s really pretty. Shaz did a great job!!
I’ll miss Big Red too, but I completely understand needing change. This coming from the girl who changes her design CONSTANTLY.
Miss Britt
I never noticed your about page before I don’t think. So – that’s a good change.
Elizabeth
I like it! Very nice. (:

The screaming baby holding a Coke ROCKS!Totally Mommy of the Year material…
