Thursday Thoughts

~First things first. My menu bar is no longer black. And my header doesn’t have weird black lines around it anymore. This is huge.  I have only been annoyed with this, since oh, I started my blog.  My friend read my post whining about it yesterday and fixed it in about five seconds.  ETA: I hear the changes aren’t showing up for everyone.  If they don’t and you are dying to see them, clear your cache.  OR just check out below.  The top is the before.  And the bottom is the after ;).

~How did I not know that Catfish had new episodes??  I stayed up way too late last night watching.  If someone tells you that they are an “international model”, but never shows you any ads they have appeared in, perhaps that should be a red flag to you no?

~Does anyone have any good recommendations for places to shop for Easter outfits for little boys / babies?  GAP is totally my go to for clothes for the boys, but I can’t find anything I love there for Easter.  Help!  I want to get the boys pictures taken with live bunnies, but they need outfits!

~I have been totally slacking on my blog reading / commenting this week.  I have been busy working on the blog makeover and then the big blog crash happened, but I’ll get better soon I promise!

~In celeb news, I read that Perez Hilton had a baby.  I don’t know why I found this so shocking and confusing, but I’ll admit I had to stop and think how that would work.  And it turns out there is a new show on ABC that is right up my alley.  Thanks to Alison, Celebrity Wife Swap is now on my watch must list.  Kendra Wilkinson and Kate Gosselin switching lives?  Yes please!

~I am thinking about making this a link-up next week.  It’s possible that Jen and I will be the only people linking up, but who cares?  It’ll still be fun!  For us.  Also, I have been getting a lot (**) of questions about how to go about starting a blog and while I may not be the most qualified person to help, I am happy to try!  I’m thinking about writing a blog post on it, so stay tuned.

That’s it from here.  What’s on your mind today?  Oh, and if you haven’t entered my February GLOSSYBOX giveaway, get to it!


(*) Did I ever tell you all my mom wanted to name me Alison? She lost. Obviously.

    I think when I first found your blog, I tried to go back and catch up on older posts. I read in one of your very old posts that your blog was changing. And I wondered what it looked like before. Maybe you should have a photo grid that shows what RoaSM looked like in 2008, 2012 and today. Your evolution. That would be so interesting. It can be perfect for your upcoming ‘Blogging’ post.

      For clothes maybe crazy8 or the childrens place?

    So when I was at work last night I read about Perez Hilton’s baby(I admit I read his blog daily) and literally had to read it four times before I comprehended he had a baby. Still confused as to how he got it surrogate ?? Adoption?? How about some details dude.

    When my daughter was young I used to shop at Gymboree or Janie and Jack…maybe you can find a cute Easter outfit there for your sweet boys.

    Hey, I’m not complaining but on my computer your menu bar is still black and there is a thin black line at the top. If this is the way it’s supposed to be, great! But I read what you said above and it seems like your menu bar should be a different color??
    I love the changes that you have made though, very colorful!

    On my iPhone the header is still black and has a black line around the banner :-/

    i like gymboree & crazy 8. you had better HURRY. holiday clothes go out of stock quickly.

  7. Kyra

    Boys clothing – Gymboree, maybe?

  8. Judy Louie

    Zulily is having a sale on Tea Collection clothes today. They have cute clothes, too.

    Carters has a few cute things for Easter. I don’t know if you have any where you live but they have a good website with cheap chipping.

    Catfish is like a car crash…you just can’t look away. I love it.

    Also, I stopped reading Perez Hilton a loooong time ago because he got too caught up in acting like he was a legit celebrity. You should check out Dlisted.com by Michael K. I’ve been reading him forever and he never gets a big head about what he does, plus I’m always in stitches reading his articles.

    lol, you are so cute! I started my blog back up on wordpress and been having a bear of a time keeping it updated and actually finding the time to write. I know it sounds weird but when I was blogging on the blogger platform I actually managed to have an easier time updating and keeping up on finding time to write…I think I may jump ship back to blogger, lol!

    By the way, I’m loving the blog makeover, its so bright and springy and makes me smile!

    I had no idea Catfish had new episodes…I’ve been slacking on keeping up with Teen Mom as well… Ever since the new season of Devil’s Ride started, I’ve been sucked back into watching that.

    Perez Hilton had a baby?!?!?!? Um, I thought he was gay?!?!?!? But awesome for him and congratulations!!!! You know which couples baby I’m excited for?!?!?! The Royal baby of course!!!! But I’m afraid that Kimye’s baby might trump the birth of the royal baby because I swear people make Kimye the equivlent of the royal couple, how annoying, in my opinion!

    Oh man…Cat Fish! I have it “favorited” with Hulu Plus. It boggles my mind that people fall for this, over and over and over again. Wait, scratch that. It boggles my mind that Nev can google someone and figure out it isn’t real in like 5 minutes, but the person being catfished never thinks to do that? I also think its cute when Nev and his brother try to act like its possible that the person is telling the truth.

    Celebrity Wife Swap?! It sounds horrifying and awesome all at the same time!

  13. Jen

    Perez Hilton, kid?! Hmmm interesting.

  14. Nia

    I found out totally by accident that Burlington Coat Factory is the place to go for little boy dress clothes. I know that there is one by me near Flint but I’m not sure where there is one nearer to you. Maybe Great Lakes Crossing??

  15. Advocarerunner

    Yes! Link up please! In fact, I’ll probably link up later! 🙂 And LOVE the new look!

  16. Niki @ My Life, My Way

    You crack me up… 🙂 I do not really pay attention to the celeb or wanna-be celebs. I will sometimes watch the RHW franchise, but that is the only “reality” show I watch. The hubby and I watch Once Upon a Time, NCIS, NCIS:LA, Vegas, Bones, Body of Proof, Revenge, and quite a few more that I cannot think of at the moment.

    Glad you got the issue fixed. 🙂 Have a good evening.

    Today’s Thursday Thoughts spark so many of my interests and yet I keep going back to the part about LIVE BUNNIES!!! Where does a person go to get LIVE Easter Bunny pictures?! I love this idea! 🙂

  18. sara

    I’ll link up. :o)
    Also, I also had to think for a moment about Prez Hilton being a dad. I may have done a double take at the news.

  19. Alexia561

    Clearing the cache worked and now I can see your lovely new design! Great job!

  20. Dianne @ Skinny Seahorse

    The Kate Gosslein and Kendra Wilkinson swap was not as good as I had hyped it up to be on my head. Still worth a watch.

    And I’ll join your link up! Yay.

    Since, you were the inspiration for why we even started our blog in the first place, I am so going to do the Thursday Thoughts.
