    One Down, Four to Go*

    Well, it’s official. Exam season has begun. I wrote my first one this morning and I think it went really well. Mind you, it was only worth 10% so it wasn’t anything strenuous. haha… but it does feel nice to know that I have at least one out of the way. I’m really not looking forward to Tuesday because I have 2 in one day. Gross, eh? I write my worst exam (a class I’m quite possibly failing) and my best exam on that day. So, it kind of evens out. The weather has been really gross the past couple of days… it’s been SNOWING. I woke up yesterday to…

    **I PASSED 1000 VISITORS AND I DIDN’T EVEN NOTICE!!! Okay, that’s SO exciting. I set my counter to count only unique visitors to my blog, so that means that there has been 1000 different people visiting me. THANK YOU. I love that you’ve come to visit me. Ahhh… I’ve sucked at writing the past week. I’m sorry!! I was quite sick for a few days there–complete with a man voice–but I’m much better now. My March cold has subsided now that we are well into April. And thank goodness for that. The Husbter and I just got home from spending the weekend with his parents, and it was a nice,…

    Looking for New Blogs*

    So… I’ve decided I’d like to expand my blog circle. I have a couple of absolutely wonderful blogs that I read, but I’d like to find some more. Blogging hasn’t really caught on with my circle of friends just yet, or at least they aren’t letting me know about it! So, to my 951 unique visitors (I’m almost at 1000!!! How exciting!!!) I’d like to read about you. Please leave me a link to your blog and I’ll come check it out! I’m really a great reader.. and I even leave comments. WOO! :) Shop Girl*
