I win! I win!
Whew!!
Holy Mother of God ... what a day. I finally took on the task of getting my Nucleus blog entries imported into MovableType. I did not know what I was getting into.
I finalized my layout last night. Nice, eh? I'm rather proud of that graphical achievement. But I was up until the wee hours working on it. I'm a typical Aries gal ... completing projects started is nothing less than an obsession. Sleep, food, potty all can wait ... must, must must finish this!! Heh ...
And then I had to get up early, despite today being Saturday, to pick up my daughter from her father's house. But no nap for mama! She's a cheerleader for her school's football team and they had a pre-season jamboree she had to be at. And I had to drive her because the bus was full. Did I mention that it was 95 degrees in the shade today? And the concession stand at the football field was out of any kind of diet drink ... blech! I hate sugared drinks!
The games were only two 10 minute quarters each, but there were delays and instead of my daughter's team starting at 3:30 like they were supposed to, it was almost 4:30. In the meantime, I was melting. I left to get something to drink and then couldn't find a parking space when I came back. But that was OK ... I was perfectly happy circling around in the car with the air conditioning on. Oh yeah ... did I forget the intermittent thunderstorms? But that was OK too ... I had my umbrella with me, which came in very handy when the sun came back out and was blazing on my back.
But I survived. After the game, the girls were still fresh as little daisies. I was drenched with sweat, hair hanging in my eyes and I just knew my mascara was approaching the chin area. We left and stopped at the nearest store for cold drinks. When we came back out to the car, the battery was dead. I had also just noticed that my left-front tire was very low on air. We were about 45 miles from home. And all I could do was obsess about this stupid blog!
Luckily, a nice fellow offered to help, even recruited the assistance of three teen-age boys to push start my car. Damn less than two year old battery giving out already! But soon we were on the road headed for home in the sweet cold air pouring out of the vents.
Back to the blog ...
It took me five hours to get it. Nucleus and MT are not very compatible when it comes to importing old entries. A couple of MT forum posters pointed me in the right direction and it took a lot of tweaking, cursing, fussing and banging the head on the desk to get it done. The formatting is off ... way off. Maybe one day I will go in and clean it up, but not tonight. I might start copying my sidebar links over. Maybe. I'm exhausted.
