I scrapped a page! Yay!!!

Now, though there are a thousand and one words that I would like to write, let me take time to visit the rest of the Scrapbook Saturday gang (a day late, as usual!).
Over the weekend (and still ongoing) my site has been through changes! So for my seventeenth edition of Thursday Thirteen, here are both subtle and obvious changes to verabear.net:
Feedback has been generally positive about the new look. More importantly, I am quite happy with the changes. 😀
**Checkout my previous TT’s here and here.
**I have just added Mister Linky, please add your links so Thirteeners can easily find you 🙂
I really should be sleeping now, the sun is already up. Boyfriend has already gone to bed without me. I’m waiting for a download to finish, you see. 11 percent left…
I had already taken Zune out for his morning walk. He is used to going out and doing his thing before six in the morning. My parents get up around 5-530. They aren’t here though – out of town to witness the consecration of our church’s newest bishop. I know Zune must be missing both Mom and Dad, so I figured I’d take him out for his morning walk so as not to completely break his habits while they’re away. Last night, it was Alfred’s turn to take him out for his 6pm walk (I was at work).
While there’s 8 percent more of the download, I’d like to take this chance to thank my top ten Entrecard droppers for the past thirty days:
Thanks for coming by to visit!
Wow, I finished this post just as my download completed, sweet! Oh, this got me to wondering if there was a plugin that would count the number of comments posted by a particular person? That would be cool so I could also thank my top commenters who are not EC droppers.
I received this through email and found that it was indeed something to think about. A bit hilarious too. 🙂 If you know who this is from (author) please let me know so I can properly give credit.
Lovers of the English language might enjoy this. It is yet another example of why people learning English have trouble with the language. Learning the nuances of English makes it a difficult language. (But then, that’s probably true of many languages.)
There is a two-letter word in English that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that word is ‘UP.’ It is listed in the dictionary as being used as an [adv], [prep], [adj], [n] or [v].It’s easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP?
At a meeting, why does a topic come UP ? Why do we speak UP, and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report? We call UP our friends and we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and som e guys fix UP the old car.
At other times the little word has a real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses.To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special.
And this up is confusing:
A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP.We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night. We seem to be pretty mixed UPabout UP !
To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP , look the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4 of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions
If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don’t give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more.
When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP . When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP. When it rains, it wets UP the earth. When it does not&n bsp;rain for awhile, things dry UP.
One could go on & on, but I’ll wrap it UP , for now. My time is UP.
Oh…one more thing:
What is the first thing you do in the morning & the last thing you do at night?
U P
I skipped work today because of a very bad migraine. I can barely sit in front of a computer, the brightness of the WordPress admin area isn’t making me any better. Plus points for getting a darker template, I wish there was a way to have your WP admin muted too.
I had tried to install Firebug the other night, but ended up making the wrong changes that I made my site disappear. Good thing I got it restored – but not after panicking and nearly crying! I’ll try with a different dark theme later on.
I found two awesome moon shots yesterday and I wanted to share them here. Maybe one night I will take my very own moon shots too.

Harvest Moon by Krista
Both amazing images right? I used to really love gazing up at the moon and my moods always seemed to be up along with a full moon. I’ve been cooped up too much lately it’s been awhile since I really last looked up at the sky.
