It never fails to amaze me when I look over to the sidebar of this blog to find that someone new has signed on to be a reader. I almost always give out Barney Stinson high-fives even if there's no-one in the room with me. I also yell out, "Yessssssssssssssssssssss" in a really annoying way. (Just ask Alex and Roary.) Then I cross my fingers and hope you will stick around even though I have terrible grammar, paint everything white, and bake muffins for fun. Loser with a capital L. ;)
I am so very grateful for your kind and funny comments that you always seem to leave for me. I just want you to know that even though I never seem to have enough time to respond to every one, I appreciate and look forward to them so much.
I wanted to celebrate reaching 750 official followers!!
(Even though it technically only says 735 followers right now.)(A girl can dream.)

I've been wracking my brain for a fun little present for you and when I picked up my latest magazine the lightbulb went off.
I will be giving one of my dear readers (you!) a year's subscription to Country Living Magazine (that's 10 issues).
That way you will have something fun to look forward to every month. And each time you open your mailbox and see the newest issue you will think of me. Hee hee!
