I celebrated my 5th Blogiversary a few weeks ago.
It was a little over seven years ago when my friend Vickie told me what a blog was, and I started reading and commenting regularly on various blogs.
I've written ad nauseum about why I blog and you can read more about it but using the drop down box of categories over on the right.
Around the time of my blogiversary, I decided to treat myself to a custom domain name and a custom design for my 5th blogiversary. The awesome team at SmittenBlogDesigns and the ever talented and patient designer Jacqueline came up with the custom design for me, inspired by that drawing of Ramona and her Mother that is featured over on my right sidebar. I love that drawing and the story behind it and really wanted it as the inspiration for my new design. Since I use Beverly Cleary's characters as pseudonyms for my children, it also seemed appropriate.
Unfortunately, I lost my extensive and carefully cultivated blog rolls in the process, which makes me almost want to cry thinking of the years I had spent building those blog rolls. So, if your blog isn't on the blogroll, it should be back there soon.
I also started a twitter account and have over 100 followers which is terribly exciting for me. You can go to my twitter account or my facebook page using those adorable icons on the right.
So, Happy 5th Blogiversary to me and thanks for stopping by the Thrift Store.

Looks wonderful! I definitely need a blog makeover and I just don't have time to try to figure out how to do it myself. You may have just inspired me to seek some help! Congrats on 5 years!
Yet another first person shooter game this time around, but the
first Far Cry was quite good. I even find myself backing away from recommending other resources which,
in the past, I would have shared willingly. If you have ever tried to kid yourself that everything will be fine and glossed over certain issues
because you wanted to avoid them, or did not know how to deal with them.
It scored a decent 3208 marks in the PCMark04 benchmark. An analysis this
change will give us insight into the supposed benefits
they entail. For an in depth guide to the E8400 chip, I highly recommend reading
this article: Final Thoughts on the Intel E8400.
Talcahuano. I'm the kind who smokes and judges people' Vanda pretends to demonstrate
a yoga pose with a cigarette in her hand' 'Whoa, THAT guy's out of shape''. Do you want a top notch gaming PC that can play all the latest games at max or near max settings. When you set out to influence another’s feelings for you, are you not interfering with that person’s free will.
