Why must the font gods hate me?

Is it because I've been arguing with my mother? Or possibly, because I've been averaging four hours of sleep a night and a diet of hummus and coffee? Is it payback for walking out of that session on interface something or otherings at BlogHer because I really, really wanted a free latte and one of those Leapfrog aluminum water bottles?

I'm pretty sure it isn't my fault and that all the tinkering around in the HTML swamp has made it much better than it was at 2 a.m. this morning. Please just know I haven't dived off the deep end into the much of bold-italic-GIANT FONT purposely.

I was either pushed by some techy 12-year old who desperately wants to redesign my banner or just lost my balance reaching for a gigantor sandwich and the snooze button. Regardless, hang in there with me through my little hell-vetica and soon we will make things all shiny and pretty around here again.

UPDATE: It seems that overnight, most of the font issues have mended themselves.After being up five times in the night with a wet and jet-lagged boy, now I just think the frustrated font gods are feeling sorry for me. I'm so wiped out but at least the bold is gone.

Well, let me just tell ya--I thought the big words had something to do with the fact that I got a new computer with a bigger monitor...THAT's how clueless I am. I never wondered for a moment why it hadn't affected any other webpages I view daily! Clearly, this is why I don't have my own blog...xo
