im scared

editor’s note: most of this blog post is now outdated. i have obviously changed my design, which is addressed above. however, it does explain my new twitter feed, so read on if you want to know about that.

so i was inspired by my super cool friend (erin) and her super cool husband (dave) to get a twitter feed on my blog.

the only problem is, my blog design puts things on the sidebar in capital letters.

so i want to change my design (theme).

but im too scared.

actually i changed it for about one second.

but then i changed it right back because my stomach sank. (my blog is like my child. i don’t want anything about it to change.)

the other thing is, i really want a “home” link on my site. if i was web-savy i could just figure out how to make it a page link. but im not. im lucky i figured out twitter.

but other designs automatically include a “home” link.

so what do you guys think? should i change my theme?

UPDATE: oh ya. you’re probably thinking ‘what the heck is twitter?’ well, because i like to talk about myself, i basically added a feed so that i can update that section of my blog (located on the top of the widget column and titled ‘what im thinking right this second’) via my cell phone.

i know. you’re excited.

but this way, when my blogging dies down mid-week, you can still check in and see new stuff on my twitter feed.

wait. am i shopko’s target market?

today i had to go to shopko’s optical center (they take my vision insurance) to get some paper work straighted out.

and then i started walking around the store.

and it was SO randomly nice.

it wasn’t crowded (even though it’s saturday). the prices were reasonable (i got a portable radio on clearance for $7.50!) and they had a wide selection (they have a Pay-Less shoe section as well as their own, which includes Nike products — like the bag i bought).

i used to wonder who the target market for shoko was. i mean they’re not as cheap as wal-mart. they’re not as high-end as Target and they’re not as small as wal-greens.

but i think i just figured out who they want to shop there.

me.

im not sure how i feel about it yet. but if you’re looking for a good deal on bras (they’re 40 percent off this weekend!) id recommend you stop by your local shopko.

just sayin’. (to be fair, i totally stole that phrase from my friend erin. (proof can be found at the end of this post) she’ pregnant AND she’s my friend. and she’s witty — so i stole her phrase. im shameless)

UPDATE: woah, i just looked shopko up on wikipedia and it states that the chain is based out of wisconsin. umm. i LIVE in wisconsin. see. i AM their target market!
