Please forgive my Vertigo!

I hope you haven’t noticed, but if you have, I have been MIA this week. As you may recall last week I started my punctuation, and I woke up on Sunday feeling really sick. I kind of attributed it to the punctuation. Thinking that since my cramps are so bad, and usually I never feel top notch it was another weird side effect of my stupid punctuation.

I was having a hard time explaining it, but I felt really dizzy. Dizzy is a bad word, because it’s a million times worse than that. The dizziness I have been feeling will not go away. Seriously every minute of the day I feel like I am spinning around in circles. My eyes can’t focus, I can’t walk to the bathroom, I can’t stand long enough to make spaghetti. I wish I could explain it better. I am so dizzy I definitely cannot function correct. So anyway, after 3 days of this horrible HORRIBLE dizziness I finally decided I couldn’t self diagnose myself and needed to go to the doctor. The worst part about the story is that I don’t have health insurance, I don’t get on my husbands until October. Stupid, I know.Which is why I waited so long to go to the doctor anyway.

I went to the insta care. I was shaking, because I wanted there to be something wrong with me. I hate when doctor’s just say, if it gets worse come back. It’s like it is obviously bad enough that I am here now, how much worse does it need to get? But luckily I had a really cool doctor who was genuinely trying to help me. He performed lots of test with my eyes, and ears and did the whole physical thing (ick!). I hate peeing in those cups. I could barely stand on my own, let alone carry a cup of my own urine across the hallway. Yuck my gag.

So finally after 2 1/2 hours, he tells me that he’s worried it’s something in my brain and he suggests I go to the ER. I was about ready to bawl, I just wanted it to be a ear infection, get and antibiotic and go home. So he tells us to head to the ER about a mile down the road, and he will call and give them a heads up we’re coming.

We get there, and immediately put me in a gown and hook me up to a heart monitor. I was freaking the hell out! I was so worried, that my heart rate was incredibly high. They were thinking I could have a heart mumur because of how high it was, and how high my blood pressure was. But luckily after keeping me hooked up to the monitor for over an hour my levels went down. Can you see the hicki that the heart monitor pads left on me? There are 4 hidden around my body. If you didn’t hear this story then you’d see me and think a large mouth bass ransacked my body.

So the ER doctor did a few more tests while I was in a backless gown and diagnosed me with Benign Postional Vertigo. He says it’s pretty rare, and he only sees about 100 cases a year, and rarely any that are as young as I am. He said there are a couple causes, but the gist of it is that something is inflamed, built up or blocking the organ behind my inner ear, and that is what is causing the dizziness. He told me some cases last months, the longest he has heard of is 6 weeks! I pray with all my heart mine doesn’t last that long. I started to tear up when he told me that, and he told me he understands. It’s incredibly hard to explain to your work or ANYONE around you that you cannot function because you’re dizzy. It’s obvious by watching me walk, that I cannot do it, but it’s a really hard ailment to describe, and it makes you feel like you are crazy. I seriously cannot tell you how out of my mind I have felt for the past 4 days saying I cannot do anything because I am dizzy. So he gave me some motion sickness meds, which kinda help. Not really, even though the doctor said he knew that wouldn’t help, I thought I’d try it out. The only thing he gave me to help is valum, it’s most like an anti depressant and it makes you sleep like a rock.

In conclusion I am not dying, don’t have a brain tumor and that’s awesome! But there isn’t anything to fix my ailment, my body has to handle it on it’s own, and just have to sit home and be extremely dizzy for however long this lasts.

This is my wrist band they gave me at the ER. I cracked up, when they put the “fall risk” band on my arm. Only because it’s true, you really should see me walk around it’s pretty pathetic.

My favorite thing in Blog Land

First of all I really wanted to apologize for my lack of blogging this week. I don’t know what my deal is, but I am not feeling well at all. It’s really weird symptoms too. I am super super dizzy, like so much so that I can’t move my head quickly without getting nauseous. No, I am not pregnant, as you may remember from my last post. I am on my punctuation. So I don’t know what my crazy whacky body is up to.

I was really excited on Tuesday when my sweet husband brought in a package. I have been obsessed with doing blog swaps lately. I participated in an awesome swap from Framed Frosting and sent out my package last week. I love to put together a cute package and send it out, waiting for the big link up! I also of course love to receive my package. It's fun to see what people can find out about me just from my blog. This sweet blogger had the greatest package ever!  It was mostly geared toward my dog. Treats, bones, toys for her, and mascara, eye liner and face wash for me! You should know that I am in love with my dog, so she already scored major points there!

I used the face wash this morning, and it made my face feel like a baby's bottom. I feel lots of baby's bottoms so don't doubt that analogy. ;)

I can’t even explain what an awesome time it was for me to receive this package. Seriously, it couldn't have come at a better time. As I have done nothing but lay in bed and watch Boy Meets World Marathons for the past 2 days, at least Shia is completely entertained with her new toys and bones. She is the cutest puppy ever!


UPDATE!! RANDEE is the most awesome blogger in all of blog-landia, for giving me this gift.

Note: This is no longer true: The worst part is that I could not for the life of me read the name on the card. I am kind of horrible at reading cursive. I googled what I thought it was for quite a while trying to find out who my new blog crush is. So if you read this, please TELL me! I need to give you credit for this awesome present.

If you'd like to see the gift I sent Jen, click here. I thought it was pretty cute. =)

Friday letterz & fur baby mash-up!

I added a Z so my letters would stick out, did it work? I haven’t ever done a Friday Letters before, usually because I have one particular thing I want to write about. NOT today. I have a gamillion things on my mind.

Dear miki,
Hi. It’s miki. Can you please learn to type? It is bugging me that you have to delete every 5 second because your fingers go faster than your brain. delete delete delete. Also, miki I am impressed with your shirt decision for the day. Yes, you work in an office. Yes, they are embarrassed of you.

I really hope all of you were able to take the time to read my blog post yesterday about Stitch. I have shed lots and lots of tears over Stitch this past few days. I hope that this out dated law, treating dogs as property does NOT break up your family. I am doing all I can to help. Prayers to you all!

Dear Dusty and Jen aka Punky,
You guys own my heart. I am always checking your blogs, and look forward to tweeting with you both every day. I love that blogland introduced me to both of you.

Dear Kjerst,
I feel SUPER bad that my plans to come visit you this weekend didn’t work out. I am really happy you jumped on the blog train and now we can talk all things blog all the time. I am so excited for you to get your new place! I am glad you met Shane and you two are happy and I LOVE YOU!

Dear Ellen,
Hi my only best friend that lives in my town. I miss you, why did you have to go to Italy for so long again? Please come home. Oh and when you did call me from Italy, it made my week a whole lot better. That week was really rough. Love you!

Dear Otis,
Otis is my stomach's name. My left kindey is named Ralph, but that doesn’t matter right now. Otis stop cramping today. STOP! If I could take you out and sell you on the black market I would. It really is no fun and very hard to be productive with you cramping my style.. get it crampin my style. Yes I am that lame.

Dear Punctuation,
AKA monthly gift. Jared named you so we didn't have to say the other p word. Please see Otis’ letter. I hate you. I wish I was a boy and Jared was gay.

Dear Jared,
I love you. Thank you and Josh for not trying to jump the fence to teach that 17 year old boy a lesson yesterday. Thank you for just taking my advice and leaving the soccer game.  But I LOVE to see that you care for your family and dad that much. I get it you protect those you love.

Dear 17 year old boy with jersey #20,
I hate you. I think you are a POS. Please go eat dirt. Have a life experience, that makes you act like a normal human. Cool? See ya in 20 years.

Dear Weekend,
Love you.

Dear Apple,
I GET AN IPHONE ON SUNDAY! I love you apple. I love you.

Dear Shia my fur baby,
You make me laugh. Thanks for keeping me up last night, NOT. Sorry I made you go downstairs and run out your energy before I let you come to bed. You’re naughty. Also you make really funny faces. You're just like your mom. NOT a morning person!


I love you because you also would rather sleep on warm laundry instead of fold it up!

Calling all animal lovers: Save Stitch!!

Anyone who’s spent more than 3 second on my blog know that I have an English Bulldog, Shia. She is pretty much my entire world. A lot of work goes into being a good dog parent. Here are just a few of the things that Jared and I do for our baby dog, that most dog parents also do without complaint: When Shia eats too fast, we clean up her puke, we take her on walks every night to get out her energy and keep her healthy, we researched good food to feed her since bulldogs have a hard time digesting and that makes them gassy, we take her to the vet for all of her shots on time, we spoil her with toys and bones, we take her out to “doggy play dates” to socialize her, and just in general we fell in love with her. She is a member of our family, and we wouldn’t function the same without her. Lately I have been trying to expand our family by convincing my husband that my bully needs a frenchie brother. Last night I was on twitter and I saw a link, about rescuing a French Bulldog. After I clicked on the link I was brought to one of the most heart wrenching stories I have ever read about a Frenchie who wasn’t properly taken care of, he was neglected, left alone for days to dwell in his own waste, put in high stress situations where he was so overwhelmed he jumped out a window! Over all this poor frenchie, Stitch, was abused. I grabbed the below blurb from the website savestitch.webs.com and wanted to share with you Stitch’s story.

(If you need the text bigger, click on the image and you can scroll through the story)

If you have a free minute please watch their youtube video, (below) where you can see photos and video clips of Stitch and his brother. The video threw me over the edge. I was laying on the bed with Shia. On the video Stitch is breathing heavy as Shia is doing the same thing passed out next to me. (Bulldog Trait) I started to bawl thinking about what the family is going through with just the thought of losing a member of their family, and putting him in an unstable unfit home.


When we adopted Shia she was 3 months old, and she’s now been with us for a year and half. This family has openly accepted and loved Stitch, he is a part of their FAMILY, not a piece of property! The fact that they could lose him, with the ruling of lost property angers me so much. How could the court rule in the favor of an unfit family, because they had him first? He wasn’t taken care of or loved in his first house, now for the first time in his life he has a family and a home. I am sure any fur mom would gladly give up most material things to keep their fur child in their family. If Shia was taken from me, I wouldn’t last. The fact that this family has been fighting with appeals to keep Stitch in their family for over 2 years is incredible and shows they deserve him. They have REAL, TRUE, and GENUINE love for him. In the video, Stitch is lounging by the fireplace with his brother. The pup looks so incredibly happy, how could the court put him back into a home where he was neglected and abused? He already survived in that house, and now he should be able to live his life in a happy home.

PLEASE help save Stitch. On their website they have numerous ways to help including signing the petition below, social media shout outs, court dates where you can show up and help support, donations to help with extensive court costs, and keep in mind any sharing of Stitch’s story is more than appreciated. Please help Stitch!!

Where's my brain?

For about 2 years now I have been in a bunco group. It is a lot of fun, and I have posted about it before. Recently our bunco group changed from being the third Wednesday of the month, to the third Tuesday. Which was last week. I prepped to go, and posted about it on FB, when I got an overwhelming response from people telling me bunco had been switch again for this month, and it was going to be the 4th Tuesday (yesterday). Are you confused yet? So was I. My brain has already been extremely out of whack the past few weeks, and so yesterday when I woke up Jared mentioned I had bunco. I was like oh, yeah you’re right, thanks baby! Then later that day as I looked on my fridge I realized I had a wedding reception last night. In a mad furry I called the host for this month, and few other girls to try and find someone who could sub for me. Luckily they were able to find someone and everything panned out just fine.

But I was still pretty sad I missed it, because Bunco is “me” time. Time to hang out with girls, who over the past 2 years I have become close with. So I don’t get my monthly dosage of girl time. In honor of bunco, I made an infographic on how to play bunco. A few people have asked me how to play before, and so here ya go! ;)


P.S. My stick figure brushes came from here.

I also made a bunco score card you can download here:

Have you played bunco before? Do you like it?

4 DAYS!

Good afternoon ladies and probably more ladies and a few gents.
I have been in a really good mood this week. Want to know why?? Of course you do. I will share my happiness with you. If this announcement doesn’t make you happy, go check out the video of my dog yesterday in this post or how funny she is here in the bath. You will be happy regardless after leaving my blog. Well remember this post, about me being one of those apple people.

 I have been on Mac’s my whole life. My dad is a graphic designer, and always I grew up with Mac’s in our house. Unfortunately I did have to use PC’s in high school, and after I graduated. I learned one thing in high school, PC’s are not for me. I use my macbook everyday at work, home and when I’m not on my macbook, my iPad is close by. I will pay $700 more dollars to have a macbook instead of get a PC laptop, even if the PC is newer. I am that girl. I am the girl who started to think my twin-in-law was 100 times cooler when he told me he got a macbook over a PC, and that he is switching to the world of apple. He’s my new favorite (except my husband).
Photoon4-13-12at12.47PM-2012-05-22-10-49.jpg
There are clear benefits to me; like the iCloud for all my devices, apple store apps which have the SIMS for FREE! File Sharing between the people at my company, we all have macs. Of course, the OS x operating system. I love Lion. Plus my brain is just wired for Apple. Steve Jobs would have loved me.
Anyway, I have been waiting since the iPhone came out on Verizon, which was unfortunately right AFTER I had signed up and got a droid! Can you imagine my disappointment? Luckily now I can get the 4s, instead of the 4. I hear iPhone 5 is rumored to be coming out soon, but I am way to impatient for that nonsense. You may be able to tell from my countdown on the right sidebar, 4 freaking days (and roughly 7 hours) until that baby white iPhone 4s is resting in my arms. Guaranteed my iPad, iPhone and macbook will all sleep next to Shia and I every night. I can barely contain my excitement!! Please join me in a celebratory gasp. AHH AWW!
Now I need to know….Do you guys love apple? Do you have the iPhone?
iphone4-52_2_610x407_610x407-2012-05-22-10-49.jpeg
MOSTLY what apps should I download first and what’s your favorite feature of the iPhone? I will be a newb. Not for long though!

Gone Fishin'

This weekend was a good one. It was extremely busy, which is the opposite of most our weekends. Jared and I like to be as lazy as possible on the weekends. Not having to wake up before noon, eating doughnuts for every meal, staying in our pajamas until 6pm, any lazy trait we have it. Shia doesn’t mind being lazy either. However this weekend was jam packed.

Saturday a crew of boys. My husband and both brother, my twin-in-law and some others went paint balling up by my parents house. I stayed at my moms and hung out there all day with my best friend, Shia. Is it pathetic she is my best friend? We are pretty much inseparable now, we cuddle every night, she even sometimes jumps in the shower with me! What is it about being in the sun that just exhaust you? After paint balling outside, and helping my mom use her lawn furniture all day Saturday we came home, ate some Big Daddy’s pizza, and stayed in for the night.

Sunday was an abundance of fun. Jared surprised me with my very own baby fishing pole! It has a reel that for babies. So you can’t get it tangled. I don’t know if he’s aware of this, but I have fished before, with a grown up pole. However, my very own baby pole is way more fun. I can cast like a thousand million feet. That’s right. A THOUSAND MILLION! But in the end I caught no fish. Jared, Justin, and Jeff probably caught about 20 total, and me, the only girl ZERO! A whopping zero fish. I think that all those fish were sexist, or they were like, “If I am going to be caught, it will not be by a GIRL!”. The fish were sneaky.

Justin brought his dog, Duke up fishing. Jared and I brought our child, Shia up fishing. The two of them used to be roommates when Justin lived with us. When we lived together, they weren’t best friends. But you wouldn’t have ever known that at the Lake. The two of them were playing in the sand and mud for the 8 hours we were up there. They both wanted to get in the water really bad, but as we were fishing we wouldn’t let them. At the end before we left, we let the dogs play in the water for a while. Shia isn’t the best swimmer, and sadly I didn’t get the video of her actually swimming, but she is great at running in water, and I did video that! =)

What did you all do this weekend?

Pinterest fails me, then wins me back!

I have this obsession with hair styles on pinterest. I ALWAYS wear my hair down and straight. I used to wear my hair up every day in high school, and I just think that it was always ugly since I usually just threw it up. So after I graduated and had more time to get ready, since I was waking up at 5:30am to catch a bus or make it to school anymore. BUT I never have known how to actually do my hair, so it is always down and straight.
This year I made a goal to try out new styles. My hair is getting really long and it’s fun to play with now. OVer the past couple months I will try styles out, but usually it ends up down and straight or down and wavy, because those are my go to styles. Do you guys have a go to style, or am I a freak? Probably a freak, oh well. =) Last night I decided I would try this hair style:
(click on the photo for the link)
168885054746762978_C3kSrCLu_f-2012-05-18-13-44.jpg
I thought that this would work, because I have actually seen quite a few people in blog land who have tried this style, and they raved about how easy it was and how well it worked. So of course before bed, I twisted, tugged and eventually got my hair to wrap around a head band. It really is incredibly hard to do this, or maybe I am incredibly stupid. But I had to retwist the hair after each time around the head band, and I was having a hard time finding enough space on the band for all my hair. Eventually I finish and looked like a troll.
FAIL-2012-05-18-13-44.png
I slept uncomfortably on this disaster all night. The elastic wasn’t comfy on my head and there were like little strands of hair pulling. Plus I woke up at about 4am and could feel some of the hair had fallen out. The above photos I took this morning, that’s why it looks so frizzy and unmanaged. So I take the twists out… my hair looks like this. I even tried to brush it out after since the curls looks HORRID and my hair just looked awful. Like a poodle who got stuck in the dryer or like little dog poops that got stuck in the dogs rear end coming out. It really was not pretty at all.
uggo-2012-05-18-13-44.png
So at this point I have to leave for work in about 20 minutes. I didn’t have any make up on or anything, so now I was in a rush! I hurried and grabbed my iPad and pulled up pinterest in a desperate attempt to find a new hair style. I have tried the top knot. Totally does not work for me. I have so much hair that the knot is ginormous and just starts to fall out and make me look like a ninja. So I came across this photo that I had pinned (once again click the photo for the link).
122441683589460218_8JukybbL_f-2012-05-18-13-44.jpg
I decided to go for it. It was time to wear my hair up. I was actually pretty pleased with the braided bun. I think it looks casual, but it still looks like you did your hair. Plus how she has her bow under the bun is kinda different and fun. I didn’t have time to find a bow or make one, so I just grabbed a small flower.

What do you guys think? Should I just wear my hood all day? =))

Bleghh Cure

Today, well this entire week has been like bleggh. I think it all started on Sunday Jared and I NEVER fight, we seriously don’t. When we (I) have an issue we calmly talk it out and are very rational and it’s over in 20 minutes. This is how we’ve always been. But Sunday Jared got mad at me, that rarely ever happens! Like actually I think that is the first time it has happened. It really threw off our Sunday, and we were kinda off all night. It wasn’t until Monday when we finally apologized to one another. I have a feeling that this event kinda through off my week. It has been an extremely long and icky week. Tuesday Jared got a migraine and his migraines suck. They consume our entire night, Wednesday I thought it was Thursday, and I HATE that, because your work week feels soopa long! Then today was just a mess of bleghhy.

So what did I do? I decided I needed to make me feel better. I am not depressed or even really anxious, the only way to put it is that I have felt off. SO I was like eff this feeling! I don’t need to ruin one more minute of my awesome life. So I drove to my mom’s and said “YO can you wax my eye brows??” My mom is an awesome esthetician, and she aways makes me feel pretty. Plus I have no sisters, so when I need raw girl time, I go to my mom. We can gush about husbands, talk about annoying neighbors, vent about work, ya know the works! It really doesn’t help that one of my best friends lives 4 hours away, and the other is in Italy. So I can’t just go get sushi with the girls. That totally sucks wieners and pipes.

My freshly done brows. Aint they hot?

photo-2012-05-17-20-44.JPG

SO back to my story. My mom is awesome, she made me feel good about myself she gave me a baby facial, then she waxed my scar on my lip that gets hairy and my eyebrows. Then I came home and took the most wondrous shower nap. (tutorial to come). So here I am sitting in bed at 9pm feeling much better about myself.

Do you all have days like this or weeks? What are your cures? Does making yourself feel pretty and fresh, help you as much as it does me? LOVE YOU CUTE BLOGGER HEADS!

Scare me not!

I cannot for the life of me think of something entertaining that happened between yesterday and today to blog about, so I pulled out my handy notebook of “Ideas for Blogging” and one of the ideas in there was my fears. I think that everyone has one or two fears that just make them queazy to think about, like spider or for my little brother it is crickets. He used to have pet snakes, and he fed them crickets. I would have to feed them, and then recapture the leftover crickets after they were done eating, so he could sleep at night. ha ha. Funny boy.
Anyway I am terrified of scorpions. When I was younger I put a shirt on while we were out camping and there was a scorpion in my shirt. It stung me all over my neck, and luckily it wasn’t too venomous, but I still had a swollen neck, and had to have the venom sucked out by a doctor. The rest of the night, I was supposed to stay awake to make sure I was still alive and they’d gotten all the venom out. Luckily, I am not dead. But the experience has scarred me.
DSCF5840-2012-05-16-13-03.jpg
My other worst fear is car trouble. Last year my tire flew off while I was driving at least 75 mph on the freeway. Big O Tires hadn’t put my tire on the rim correctly and it wobbled all the nuts loose and flew off my car. Anyway it damaged my car pretty badly, but I was fine. When my car was out of control and sparking I finally made it to the side of the road and just sat and bawled. A little because I was scared, and a little because I knew that I would have to fix the car. After I fixed the car, i ended up selling it because every time I drove in him (his name was Vern), I felt like he was going to spontaneously combust, and I HATE dealing with mechanics (except my roommate) because they always try to screw me over. Like oh, the $29 price just went to $89 for an oil change, screw that! Anyway I am terrified that at any point while I am driving something will happen to my car, I will be all alone, and have no idea what to do.
2011-09-28_13-46-04_751-2012-05-16-13-03.jpg
I think that I am scared of a lot of things like getting lost, losing my dog, finding a dead body, looking under rocks ( I always think there will be something horrible under there or dead reptiles), getting stuck in a cave…
What is your number one worst fear? Ever.

May 15, 2012

I hate ebooks.

I gave in and bought my first ebook. I have kind of been against ebooks, because I like books. I love going into people’s homes and seeing their books, and kind of getting a sense of who they are by what they read, I also love lending books out. When I love a book so much and want my mom, my dad, my best friend, my sister in law, and my aunts’ cousin’s uncle to read the same book, and enjoy it the same as I did. You can’t do these things with ebooks, you wouldn’t lend out your kindle, nook or iPad so a friend could read, would you? Me either. You can’t really decorate your bookshelves with your reading device either. Unless you are into that ultra modern look, then maybe it would work.
Any the first ebook I bought was Bossypants by Tina Fey. I had been dying to read this book since it came out, and never had made it to the book store. I was about to go to a high school soccer game, and wanted some extra entertainment, so I thought hey I have an iPad I will just buy the book, and just like that in 15 seconds I had the book on my iPad and was ready to go! (yeah yeah, don’t judge me on the 4 free ebooks that are downloaded - that baby animals book is the cutest thing ever.)
photo-2012-05-15-12-40.PNG
I was so excited, and for a split second thought that maybe I had misjudged ebooks, like I had twitter (sorry twitter - i love you now). However when I got my iPad out at the game I did not even open the ebook. I opened the camera, lots and lots of games and even the calendar but not the ebook. I left the game and realized I didn’t read at all bummer. This is what the iPad was actually used for at the game.
photo-2012-05-15-12-40.JPG
The following weekend. I isolated myself out on the porch in the sun. I sat down with my iPad and read about 50 pages. That is the last time I have read my book. Not that it isn’t a good book, I LOVE the book, I laugh out loud while reading it. The thing is I mostly start reading because the book, the actual book taunts me. It sits on my nightstand with a candy wrapper marking my page, and I can see it. I can say oh man look I am half way done, as represented by the candy marker. But with an ebook it is hidden.

Plus my husband’s iPad needs before I ever get to the book. That doesn’t work for me. So I still haven’t finished the book I have waited all year to read.

Stupid ebooks!
Has anyone else experienced ebook hatred?

Share your blogger tips and tricks!

UPDATE: I lost all the links to this post. I am working on making a permanent blog directory. I'm so sorry!!

Hey oh! Welcome to this fine Monday afternoon. I had a wonderful weekend spending Mother’s Day with my mom!

Now its time to get down to business. I have been wanting to do a new blogger Link Up for a while now. I have had numerous emails each day from new bloggers asking me questions about grab boxes, buttons, making pages, emails, and everything else under the blogger sun!
So, I had this idea of doing a helpful post, where it could serve as a blogger help directory. I want this post to be a helpful to all bloggers. If there are any questions on any items, or if you yourself have questions on design, html, layout, or WHATEVER you can scroll through and utilize the knowledge that other bloggers are offering. I would love any posts having to do with blogging tips to be linked up. I don’t care if it’s about blogging with social media, how to create a FB page for your blog, or things you’ve learned while blogging. I am really hoping this link up takes off, because I WISH I would have found something like this 2 years ago, when I had no idea what a button was.

Link up your post, with a description of your post. Then if you’d like, I made a button that you can grab and place on your post that you link up.

Becoming what I always was



These are the posts I will link that I've written:


Make your own html buttons






PLEASE consider doing this, it will be a valuable link up and only take a few moments :)
Gracias Blogaritas!
