I am still alive, Nicole is saving the day, plus a giveaway

Hi friends, I am still alive, but barely. I've been sick since Sunday morning and it doesn't seem to be getting better. It's not the flu, just some sort of evil virus that won't go away. I did not get up until 5 o'clock yesterday evening, so I am sorry if I didn't respond to comments or read any blogs yesterday.  I did read all of your comments from yesterday's post and they made my day brighter.

I am sure poor Ross has been thinking this for the past two days. I look like complete and utter warmed over death with greasy hair and stinky breath. I know, super hot. His birthday is tomorrow, so say a prayer that I can at least find the energy put some make-up on for him and buy him something special. Lord knows he deserves it.
 

And the UPS man did leave these beauts for me on my door step, so the day wasn't entirely ruined. Okay, enough whining, moaning and groaning.

I have someone that I would like you to meet. Her name is Nicole and she blogs over at Probably Polka Dots.

If you two haven't shaken hands through the interwebs, let me make a few introductions.

First of all, this is Nicole. Everyone wave.


And this is Ryan, her precious Beagle/Jack Russell Terrier mix. Nicole tells me that she is quite the little princess. Everyone say, "How freakin' adorable."

Nicole lives in Atlanta and her full time job is actually a middle school language arts teacher.
Bless her heart.

She is a contributing writer for Poppy Magazine which is an amazing online life and style mag.

She loves to explore her city and try out new places. And let me tell you, her restaurant recommendations are better than any Zagat guide out there!

She owns more books than clothes. Wow, I can definitely say we are opposites there. Nicole, do tell what some of your favorites reads are.

Fun little fact about Nicole:
She just took a Blogshop class a few weeks ago, and up until then, she had never even opened a program like Photoshop or Illustrator. She did all of her blog graphics via PowerPoint. Girl, you got some skills because I would have never known.

So, I know you are going to leave this post and go right over to Probably Polka Dots, but I must  share five posts you DO NOT want to miss. The first one on the list is GENIUS and such a perfect gift idea.


Nicole is also offering a $50 Gift Card to Social Dress Shop. Make sure to enter and visit her girly,  stylish, fresh, savvy and fun blog. I promise you will want to add it to your daily reads.

I hope you feel better. My son had some horrible fever virus 3 weeks ago. I thought it was the flu at first but when we took him to the ER (he had a seizure and I thought he had died) they said that it wasn't the flu. Ugh. Tis the season for illnesses.

Ugh, I have a nasty virus too. I guess it's a good thing I was negative for the flu?? Here's to us both being miserable and therefore not getting sick again for an extremely long time.

I really love the Mod Party Dress!

Feel better soon! It sounds like what I had. It wasn't the flu, but it might as well have been. I was sick for over a week.
