First things first ... have you entered the group giveaway over at All My Happy Endings?! If you haven't, you should head on over to Mandi's blog because she has put together yet another fabulous group giveaway for all of her readers/followers! Oh, and I happen to be participating and I am giving away 2 months of large ad space! 

What are you waiting for? Go enter! 

Last but not least ... Life Unpublished is the featured blog over at This Girl's Life Weekly Wednesday Blog Hop. If you want to make some new bloggy friend, then you should definitely link-up with this blog hop! Thanks Melissa for the feature!

New look...!

Notice anything different on the blog? 

Maybe a new header image, welcome image, widget boxes, and link colors! I decided tonight that I would play around with a new header design (again!) and one thing led to another....

I think I am liking these changes though -- hopefully they will stick around for longer than a month. Anways, with it being spring, its the perfect opportunity to do some spring cleaning on the blog. I still want to clean up a few of my pages, and maybe redo my blog button, but will I save that for another night. 

What do you think of the new'ish design? Yay or Nay?

Today I am linking up with:

The Life of the Not So Ordinary Wife

Weekly Wrap-Up.

Work, work and some more work ... that is how I spent my weekend. For the most part, my work weekend was fairly uneventful. The best part was walking into my office Sunday morning and finding a large gift bag full of cookies and bottles of wine. While I knew the bag wasn't for me, I was determined to score myself a few cookies. When the rightful owner of the bag showed up, I told him there was a fee for holding onto his gift bag and ended up with one of the small bags full of cookies. SWEET! They were delicious and didn't last very long.

Friday's Letters.

Dear friday, I am so happy that you are here. Only two more days of work, then I get to start week number 2 of working seven days/week. Dear raincouver, I do not like this rainy weather! Last weekend was so beautiful, I even got to wear shorts and sandals, and now ... rain, rain and more rain. Dear chiropractor, ouch! I feel much better having my bones put back into place, but the headache I get afterwards, ughhh. Last night I went to bed at 9:30 pm because my head and body hurt too much. Dear myself, you need to keep going to bed early so that you don't get over exhausted with this crazy work schedule. Yes that means going to bed every night, before 10:00 pm! Dear eyesight, I am a little disappointed that you have gotten worse. Now I have to go and buy new glasses and sunglasses -- lame!!! Dear taxes, ohh I wish I could keep putting you off, but I am determined to submit you this weekend so that I can get some money back. Maybe I will put it towards the new lenses I need. Dear new followers, thank you so much for taking the time to stop by and follow my blog! I promise I will reply to all of your comments, it may take me a day or two because of my crazy work schedule right now. Dear coca-cola, I don't know what I would do without you right now. My employer has noticed that I work so much better in the afternoons after having a can of you that they have offered to buy me a case for this month. Oh dear! 

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend! See ya on Monday!
