That's all she wrote!

Well I think that I have done it! I made a website, not a great website but a website. I keep having trouble with the screen shots but I am hopeful they will show up. I have to admit that this was not the easiest assignment and had Kim not helped me out I would have been in some real trouble so thanks again Kim! I hope that I did everything right and while it should have only taken me an hour with the new addition sitting on me (yep, literally sitting on me as I type this) while trying to get this done I almost lost it but again it's done! So good luck to everyone, I hope you all have a wonderful summer. Really looking forward to the next month off and hoping Winston will quickly learn to sleep more than 2 hours a night:)

The final assignment....

Well we are down to the final assignment and I have to say that I am not really feeling all that confident! I must have worked for 5 hours trying to get the background on my fragment/hyperlink assignment to work and nothing would do it! I must have emailed Kim (also in our class) 10 times and she gave me some great advice and what I am sure was the right steps to take but I had no luck and before I threw my computer out the window I had to call it quits. I can see the background through Kompozer and sometimes it comes up but other times nada! I must have deleted and restarted everything 100 times, I hate to give up but it was literally driving me crazy. I am now fearful that this last assignment is going to do the same. Here is to hoping Tomer feels bad for us and gives a super thorough explanation of how to complete this final assignment.

On a personal note I am off to Jersey to see my family and have them meet my son so I am going to try and not think about this class until I get back next Wednesday and then I will only have one week left and I'll never have to think about it again:)

So close

So we are very close to being done and it seems like these last couple assignments are just trying to break me! I finally figured out how to get a background set up for my fragment but for the life of me I cannot get it to show up when I type in my link. I can see it when I am in Kompozer and I have deleted and resaved these documents more times than I can remember. I don't even want to get started on how I feel I did on the quiz! I think I did ok, but I am not sure if what I was writing even makes sense! I hate to blame anything but myself but I swear this lack of sleep is really making me slower! I used to be a pretty together person but between the baby and trying to keep it all together I am slowing losing it:) But again we are so very close to being done I think I can I think I can I think I can!

I need to buy that book....

Fragment Assignment

Alright, I think that I have done it but to be honest I am just really not as confident that I completed this as correctly as I have for the past assignments. I have a fear that even though I can see the information when I type in my links that maybe it's just me and it won't be there when Tomer goes to check. I hate to admit it but I still feel pretty confused and without all the VERY VERY VERY generous and wonderful people who posted on the discussion board I would have been totally and utterly lost. So THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to everyone who helped me out without even knowing it. Luckily Prof. Tomer gave me an extension to complete this assignment since I just had little Winston because there is NO way I could have gotten that done without the extra time. It literally takes me four times as long to do anything and everything when there is a little one who can sense when I am doing anything other than feeding him. At the moment my husband is on full alert baby duty so I was able to complete the quiz (ugh....that's all I can say about how I feel I did on that) and get a blog or two done. Only blogs and one more assignment to go. Is it August yet?

Ok I am a little scared about fragments...

As I mentioned in my last blog I just had a little baby boy (Winston) and so I am just getting to some of my final assignments for this semester. I am reading all the posts and looking through some of my fellow classmates blogs and it is all making me VERY nervous and a little scared about our next assignment! I have to watch the last lecture and I am really hoping that will clear things up for me because I am certainly not understanding at all how I am to start let alone complete this next assignment! I have (hopefully understandably) not been thinking about technology class for the last week or so and I need to wrap my head around how to do this assignment and I am hoping that it won't be as difficult as what I am thinking in my head. Well I am off to feed Winston and then hope he sleeps for a couple hours so I can watch the lecture and hopefully get an understanding on where to start to fragment.

Baby Bonnet!



So this is completely off topic but I think that is ok! My husband and I welcomed our first addition to the family. I had a little boy, Winston Richard Bonnet on July 5 at 5:21 am 7 lbs 8 oz. We are all doing well and settling in after being at the hospital for what seemed like forever! I have attached a picture of our little guy meeting one of our kitties Marley after getting home.

Hoping that I can juggle school and being a new mom and being that we are SO close to the end of this semester I am just going to have to make it work for the next couple weeks! I know I can do it but sure am looking forward to August and a month off school:)

The final chapters....HP7 Trailer

I am once again going off topic but I watched this trailer and I know that many of you probably have as well but just in case I am posting the link to Warner's Brothers newly released trailer for the final Harry Potter movies! While I am glad they are split into 2 movies it is going to be difficult to wait in between the two films. I think it looks pretty good!
