he various: I updated my main website. I wanted colors that were less faded. Also more birds. Basically, I got bored of my other look and so I changed it. I shudder to think how that will work when I have something professionally done and cannot afford to change it regularly.
I do that a lot. Get bored, I mean. It occasionally costs me money. I will update the blog skin at some later point when I have time.
That is all.
Oh, what? Right. The sundry. Legalese finaled in the Golden Heart, in the Historical category. I’m very excited about this! Unfortunately I may only have dreamed it, so if I’m not on the list tomorrow it is because I have gone mad.
EDITED to add: Updated the main blog skin. Hopefully, I’ve fixed all the wonky stuff.
DOUBLE EDITED to add: OMG, can you say stupid PHP hacks? The PHP that converts the first character to a script is SO HACKY it’s not even funny, and it doesn’t play all too nicely with wordpress. Until I actually get off my duff (which I probably never will) and put some reasonable error testing in place, I can’t start a blog post with a link. Or, um, italics….

Congrats! I told you so! You rock! Love your new website look! You and the Darc are so going to outshine everyone at the GHs. What are you wearing? I’m going to break out the high heels for this occasion!
March 26th, 2008 at 4:17 am
Thanks, and congrats to you, too, Darcy! India, I have no idea what I’m wearing–I figure I can find a dress sometime in July, right? Right?
As for the heels–ulp! I guess I better think about those!
March 26th, 2008 at 5:23 am
First of all, huge congratulations on the GH final! I thought your excerpt was excellent! Best of luck in San Fransisco.
Secondly, love the website! Bright, unique, and easy to get around!
March 26th, 2008 at 7:22 am
You know I am beyond thrilled for you! Having both you and Darcy final in the same year just rocks.
And if you get a long enough dress, maybe you can skip the heels :).

CM: Huge, huge, huge congratulations!!

OMG. I saw your name on the GH list and I squealed out loud. I think my husband thinks I’m insane.
CONGRATULATIONS!

Such fabulous news!! I’m so thrilled for you, Courtney. I wish we all lived in the same city so I could outfit everyone for the Golden Heart awards ceremony. I have a basement full of fancy vintage dresses in all different sizes.
CONGRATULATIONS!!
March 26th, 2008 at 1:01 pm
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! I’m not the least bit surprised—you soooo deserve it!
March 26th, 2008 at 7:41 pm
How is it that I’m 15th on this list to congratulate you? How lame of me.
But here it is again:
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!
Words can’t express how thrilled I am for you. Really. I’m so, so proud.
*sniff* Now I can’t wait to see you win in July. Do I have to wear heels?
March 27th, 2008 at 4:44 pm
Hi Courtney -
We’ve never “met” but I’ve seen your name on lots of contest finals, and I enjoy your blog (Tessa’s too). Just wanted to say CONGRATS, and I look forward to meeting you in SF!
Also, I think maybe you should consider a third career (cause I know you have loads of free time!) as a web designer. Love the look of your new website.
Anne

Thanks to everyone! Tessa, you and Amy are going to up front and center with me, any way I can swing it–so wear whatever you want, because everyone’s watching.
