Hi everyone! Wow, its been a long time since I last blogged... tsk tsk... Shame on me. Let me update you guys with some of the stuff that's been going on in my life.

First let me give a big shout out to givesmehope.com, one of the other websites I run. This past week we reached two very exciting milestones for the site.

1) Givesmehope's tumblr account is now the 54th most popular tumblelog on tumblr. VERY VERY exciting news :)! When we first started out we weren't even ranked... tee hee. Here's a little screenshot I took to show you guys


2) Yesterday I received a e-mail saying "Facebook Warning". Needless to say I was pretty scared, until I opened it up and realized that it was actually GOOD NEWS. I'll show you a screen-shot of the alert I got from facebook. It's basically saying that I'm listed as the admin of a site with many fans & must confirm affiliation with the site before I post more stories on the fanpage. Knowing that GivesMeHope.com is now big enough that facebook cares about us gives me hope! ^____^



3) And even more news! Quick shout out to my hosteeBridget who is back after a short hiatus with a brand new layout. It looks fantastic girl!

4) My other hostee Ferny has a new layout that is magical. You should go check it out and leave her a tag.

5) My new affie Rebecca also has a new layout that is carnival themed. It's incredibly cute, you should visit her as well.

6) Finally (and some of the most exciting news!) My best friend Anafer is visiting me from Ecuador. She's staying with us until December and I couldn't be more excited :)! We've seen a lot of movies, went to the Chicago Shedd Aquarium, played a lot of games, etc. It's been so much fun!

Whew.... that was a lot of news. There are two last things I want to show you.
The first is this cute siggy Amy made for me. Its my pet Chinchilla Zoe, eating a chocolate covered apple. Thanks so much Amy for this cute sig!


And before I go... don't forget the cuteness!
