For those of you that missed my post yesterday, let me catch you up to speed (and then I will forgive you for not reading my blog religiously):
About two months ago someone hacked into my blog and installed a crap-load of viruses. I guess I should take it as a compliment that someone thought my blog was important enough to infect, but I’m still getting over the fact that it was a huge pain in the ass. After being told it would cost an exorbitant amount of money (in relation to the zero dollars that this blog brings in) to keep it running, I decided to throw in the towel. That is, until I told my incredibly intelligent tech-savvy friend who said he could fix it for me. For FREE. Yeah, I was on board with that. I think I owe him a cheeseburger for his efforts.
Since I haven’t been able to get much blogging done lately, I’ve had to occupy myself with other, more important things. You know, things like eating cheeseburgers, getting a tan, and traveling the world. Losing my blog (or so I thought) was secretly forgotten while I was on my trip. I mean, who has time to worry about a measly little blog when they’re chilling on an overwater bungalow in French Polynesia? Or swimming with sharks in the middle of the South Pacific Ocean? Not me. I was especially busy worrying if one of the sharks was going to decide that I looked like shark bait.
While I’ve been pretty busy outside of work, my 8-5 hours are a little slow at the moment. However, I’ve had some serious help from a co-worker on a few very tedious projects. Seriously, without her help I probably wouldn’t have survived the day. So in honor of her, and her Dr. Pepper obsession, I made this little tag, tied it to some candy, and showered her with my appreciation. I’m sure she’d prefer a gift card or something, but isn’t it the thought that counts? (On a side note, I think I’m always using that excuse – it should be my life’s motto).
I wanted to share it with all of you, to say THANK YOU for supporting me through my unfortunate blogging mishap. I’ve had plenty of my blogging friends (and real-life ones too) reach out to me to say they were keeping their fingers crossed that I could get my blog back. Well, thanks to you (and my handy-dandy, technology geek of a friend), Rae of Sparkles is back in action.
Yay!
Yay!!!!!!!! 😉
Welcome back, Shauna! You were missed! I hope that the damage was limited only to your blog and not anything else. I recently had my debit card swiped (see what I did there?) and it was a pain in the buttocks to clear up what they had stolen. Anyway, I think that I’ll go and enjoy a cheeseburger, too!
Ohhhhhh Rob!!!!! Thank you so much for your note. And yes it was just on the blog, that is horrible about your debit card (and yes I saw what you did there), I hope they didn’t bank all your money (see what I did there?). I can’t wait to catch up on your blog!!! I don’t think I’ll ever be able to fully catch up but I’ll try!
Yay!! I can’t believe someone did that, thank God you still have your blog!! I didn’t know this candy existed, it looks amazing…
Dollar Tree. Is there anyplace else? 😉
It’s great to see you back in action! I was only thinking yesterday how I hadn’t seen a post in my inbox from your corner of the blogosphere for a while. This is a cute idea – and it IS the thought that counts, I’m sure she appreciated the gesture! Plus, YUM. xx
Awwww thank you so much for noticing my absence!!!! I feel so loved that anyone even noticed. I have a LOT to catch up on, so I’ll get on that soon with your site!
Well, I don’t really like Dr. Pepper, buttttt again I am happy you’re back! haha
Hahah thanks Jamie! I don’t love it either, but it’s not bad. Never tried the gummies tho.
Oh no that’s awful!!! But so glad your back! Your trip looked AMAZING! I was constantly opening your snaps and immediately being jealous!
Hahaha I’m going through withdrawals already. I’ll post about it soon! 🙂
So creative.
Haha thanks! Not my best work, but just a little something instead of a note card! 🙂
Great post 🙂
Thanks!!! 🙂
YASSSSS! So happy you are back in action!
Thank you!!! I missed being a part of the blogosphere!
LoL! Had missed your witty and fun way of writing 🙂 Really awesome that you are back! And swimming with sharks? Overwater bungalows 😮 When are you going to upload the pics lady ? 😉 Sounds uber cool B-)
Loved your DIY note 🙂 So cute 🙂
Ohhhh gosh I can’t wait to post about it but I’m sad that as soon as I do, it’s officially over! So I’m procrastinating! 🙂
