My Poor Blog

June 1, 2009

Oh my poor little blog. How I have neglected it lately! It’s not really by choice, but things have become hectic around here. It probably sounds old, but with work and the kids now doing something damn near every night, time for Mr Papa’s World has been limited. I have managed to do little “Quick Thoughts” blurbs in the sidebar, but that doesn’t really count. Those “Quick Thoughts” get cross posted on Facebook and Twitter and most folks respond to them there since there isn’t any kind of notification about a new post here at Mr Papa’s World.

Being June now, I hope to try to post more about the family happenings. We sure are busy enough to blog about something!

Oh, to get it started, Sean’s baseball team won their second game of the season last weekend. It goes along with their 15 or 16 losses unfortunately. It was a nail biter, as they entered the final inning up 13 – 6, but had to hang on for a final score of 13 – 12. We also received word that the team is going to fore go the playoff system this year and instead just play games. So, that means baseball games up until about the end of July. At two or three games a week, that makes for a hefty season. The heat is already high around here, so luckily, all games will be at night. The season should finish up just in time for football practice to begin for Sean.

This weekend, we have Savannah’s Summer Dance Recital. It’s a two night affair – though I think Sean has a game one night – with Savannah doing like a dozen dances. I really need to do a post about her continued baking work. Until then…

New Dance Site Launched

October 3, 2008

Okay, time to reveal where I have been lately. Suzanne decided that the dance studio she and the kids go to needed a new and improved website. To be honest, they did. The previous one was fixed html and very, very slow due to incredibly large images (30 MB+) being show as thumbnails.

Anyways, she talked to the owner and “volunteered” me to work on a new website for her. I didn’t kick and scream very hard as they are fun to do. The site didn’t exactly come out the way I envisioned, but it did for the owner, which is the important part. I had a whole lot more subtle colors than what we ended up with. She wanted the more vibrant (ie bright) colors that are now on the site.

Anyways, I always appreciate feedback, so head on over to the Alma Dolores International Dance Centre new website and let me know what you think. There is still more work to be done and they are paying me a monthly fee for updates, so I have some new features planned too.

I hope to return to my normal posting now too…
