Hunting Season

Tomorrow morning, at 7:00 AM, I will be in the woods.

I will be sitting on a bench, attached to a tree, 15 feet off the ground.

Joe will be sitting next to me, holding a gun, and his goal will be to kill deer.

I will probably close my eyes, cry, and I might even scream a bit.

I must like him a lot to go along with this.

Thought of the Day

Y'all have been some haters lately. No comment love for Stephanie.

Don't you see that little image over there <---? The one that says, "Your comments make me really happy!" It's true. Really. I smile reading every single one of them.

I kid. I don't blog for comments. But I really do love them. Really. A lot.

I don't always comment every time I read a blog. Especially when the person who's blog I'm reading never comments on my blog.

Maybe we're all in a vicious cycle of not commenting because we're not being commented at. I'm going to work on ending the cycle.

I'm going to comment on every post I read. Every. Single. One. Even if it's just to say, "I read this, and it was good."

Comments are like tips for waiters. It's like saying, "You wrote good shit. Keep it up."

Do I want to be a blogger that says shit? I can't decide if that's okay.

So anyway... Comment if you like what you read because it makes people happy.

I said before that I don't believe in guilting people into commenting. I mean, I see you popping in my blog on my little Feedjit thing, and I appreciate the visit.

But how do I know that you liked what you read? Maybe you think I suck. So tell me.

I prefer you tell me I don't suck, but if you feel otherwise, just say it. I won't get upset.

Really, I might, but I won't take on a crazy internet campaign to destroy you and make your life miserable or anything.

Or you can just keep not commenting. Because I'd rather you be here silently than not at all.

This has been a crazy rant brought to you by Benadryl.

Check Em' Out

I wanted to share with you all a few blogs I've worked on recently...

Lynn wanted something simple. "Not many flowers," she said. Well.. the flowers took over and it turned out perfectly. Click on the header to go look at the full design and to check out her blog!


Ariadna is currently in Russia, working as a teacher, so what better theme than Russian Roulette? She sent me the header pictures and I went from there. While I love doing the feminine, flowery layouts, it's nice to do something with guns and blood once in awhile!


Jaime was the winner of the Ultimate Blog Makeover Giveaway, hosted by Summer at Le Musings of Moi. She is a very creative person and knew exactly what she wanted. I took her ideas and we came up with a pretty design that allows her personality to shine through.

Want to know how you can have that perfect blog layout you have been wanting? Need a new look, or something different for the holidays? Visit my design site, Dirt and Lace Designs, for info!

Gotta Love 'Em

Camryn was sitting in her booster seat at the table, finishing up her lunch. She farted, and looked down. About 10 seconds later, she looked at me with a funny expression and said, "My body smews howwible."

While I was in my bedroom folding clothes, Summer and Camryn decided to stick their toys in Harley's water bowl, and then fling the water all over our kitchen floor. I came in, got mad, told them what they did was bad, and put them in their room. A few minutes later, I heard Summer yell from behind the door, "I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE!"

Blog Makeover Giveaway Winner!

Did this giveaway post to your all's Blogger dashboards? I follow my blog just to make sure things post, and it never showed up on mine. Odd. I think there is something wrong with my subscriptions as well... there is just no way I lost 40 subscribers overnight. Right? Oh well... I am going to choose a winner right now anyway, but I will probably do this again soon, since I don't think many people even knew about it!

Here is everyone who entered in the order they commented:

1. Wendy
2. Brandi
3. Chantelle
4. Bridgett
5. Kaileigh
6. Meg

Nobody gets an extra entry because nobody got the right answer!

It was August 9th.

The trick was that in this entry that I wrote on August 10, when I shared Summer's first drawing of a man, I said she drew it *yesterday*.

Brandi... I should have gone with what you guessed. You made me smarter than I actually am. LOL.

Anyway.. let's pick a winner, shall we?

I'm going to random.org to generate a random number.

Typing them in now...

And the winner is...

Congratulations, Brandi!
