Googlesites Sucks

Excuse the strong terminology, but it's true.

Googlepages died and Googlesites has taken its place. Googlepages was good. Googlesites -- not so much. Googlepages didn't translate directly over into Googlesites; so, now all of my layouts are funky and I can't get them to look like they used to. Well fine. I'll take my ball and go home; or take my blogging elsewhere.

From now on I'll blog directly into our Blogger blog.

Unfortunately, all of the pictures in this here blog were linked to the pictures uploaded to Googlepages, which meant their address was for somewhere within Googlepages. Now all of those pictures are in Googlesites. So Blogger can't find those pictures anymore because their address changed and they didn't leave a forwarding address. Bah. Oh well. Don't worry. Those pictures aren't gone forever. They're in one of the two Flickr albums or safely saved on the computer.

I've uploaded the latest updates in the Story of Us Saga. Parts II, III, and IV are basically in the form of emails that I've sent out to update family and friends on Jamie's emergency hospital stay (Part II), his surgery (Part III), and his adventures in chemo (Part IV). Links to these are located on the right-hand side of the blog.

Now I need to go pay some attention to the hubby because he is feeling neglected. :)

Hmmm...where to begin. We (ok..mostly Jamie) have been through quite a lot since I last posted on this blog, as evidenced by the new additions to our Important Dates column.

Our grand adventure started with Dominoes pizza and wings one night for dinner, which led to a trip to the ER for massive dehydration due to throwing up for 36 hours straight, which led to a colonoscopy, which led to a diagnosis of Colon Cancer, which led to a total Colectomy and Chemotherapy.

I plan to put the whole story here, but first I have to organize it! It's mostly in emails that anybody who might read this blog has already received, but I want the story all together in one place.

Check back later for how the story begins.
