Extra Extra {and a Starbucks Giveaway}

Last week I got my wisdom teeth pulled.  It was an experience and now I feel some odd sense of loss.  Mostly because I was supposed to get my teeth pulled out when I was 18 and not I don’t think I will be able to chew as well.  I love food and this is of the utmost importance.  But as with a lot of body parts, wisdom teeth are extra and you don’t really NEED them to survive.

And as I was listening to Lady Gaga and giggling  under the awesome power of the laughing gas, I was trying to compose this blog post.  My blog was down because of the great WordPress breach (which doesn’t mean anything to non-bloggers) and I realized that even though I don’t NEED my blog to survive it’s really nice to have around.  I missed needing pictures for Wordless Wednesday.  I missed checking comments.  Having jibba jabba to post.

So once I got through tech support and got things back up and running, I decided to spruce it up a little bit around here.  See the new layout?!  And I still have back end work to do and backups to run and plugins to install.

Part of that work is to start a mailing list so 1) I can make sure if things go down again I can at least let everyone know that I didn’t just quit and 2) I think a monthly newsletter would be also awesome.

And to get that list a-going I have decided to do a $25 Starbucks giveaway. E-gift card so it’s open to everyone everywhere.  All you have to do to enter is put your email address in! I’ll pick a winner in a week (ending May 11).  Easy peasy.  And I promise not to email everyone more than twice a month. 🙂

Love ya!

Giveaway is not sponsored in any way by Starbucks or Mail Chimp.  Email addresses are not sold to anyone and I won’t be bombarding your inbox with stuff all the time. 🙂
