I consider it a test of patience; an exercise in mental stamina. To me, it demonstrates both my inadequacies as a blogger and my laziness in not fixing those inadequacies. I do a little mediation every time I see it, a little inward chanting: "It doesn't matter, just let it go."
By now, I've come to view it as a symbol of my work ethic. It's juuust a little bit..off, but I'm too apathetic to do anything about it.
You know what I'm talking about. You've seen it too.
The picture of Ella I used as a blog header is off center. It's too far to the right. I don't know how it happened or how to fix it, but by now it's part of the charm. I apologize to anyone with OCD who has clicked onto my blog, only to have to spend the rest of the day moving things a little to the left to compensate.
Pretty soon, I will contort this into a tribute to my ability to shake off the small things, an ability I've always possessed. Like in college when I was able to shake off countless tests that I forgot to study for. It was like Russian Roulette when I walked into a class, is there a test today? We'll soon find out! Somehow, my brain is able to let these things go and attribute it to being "laid back". That's code for lazy-ass bum.
So, please consider my off kilter blog header as a thin slice of Laid Backness wrapped around a nice big helping of Lazy-Ass Bum.

Well, I'd be lying if I said I hadn't noticed. BUT I simply figured that your blog was so perfect in so many other ways that it really didn't matter. :)
Sry...I noticed too.;o) However, the same thing happened to my header when I tried to add a pic. I got so frustrated trying to fix it that I deleted the pic. Now everytime I log on, I am reminded of something I couldn't do...which I don't like!
I thought you were trying to punish us…
And did you fix your left hand margin somehow because suddenly the words aren't clashing with your border!!! And that is NOT because I am type A personality or OCD like my daughter...it was purely out of desperation to ensure I could read every word of your stories in order not to miss a laugh!!!
Looks GREAT!
PS...I HAD to re-nominate you... it's noted on my site. Please don't feel obligated to do all the BS again, but at least take the award you two-time winner!!
I actually hadn't noticed until you pointed it out. My site does weird stuff in certain versions of IE and it pisses me off but I use Firefox so I let it go.
Doesn't it suck how something so trivial can drive you nuts?
Katie, you absolutely kill me with your wit. (I also have a lot of trouble trying to get a picture to land on my header where I want it..that's why the damn pic keeps changing every day, it's driving me insane, but damned if I figure out how to do it properly.)
