I clicked over to the “What it is” link. {sob} It’s good to be reminded…
Thanks for including my link, too. :)
I just started using daily mile (and I have a little widget on my blog to keep me motivated!)If you are using it too, I would love to add you as a friend :)
I don’t know what I think of daily mile yet. I just updated my and it says I have done 6 miles this week but I only put in 5.5 – don’t get it but I am playing with it. I love seeing the runs on other peoples blogs.
I will definitely be making the mailboxes! I am mad at you, however, because now I want one of those umbrellas but I cannot justify spending forty dollars on a cute umbrella. Grr.
That post on deployment was heartbreakingly beautiful. I wept. It makes me so incredibly sad that this is a world where that has to happen. I can’t imagine living through it. Wow.
Thanks so much for featuring me in the “Good Reads” section. :) It was so hard to write and post, but I’ve had such an amazing response from everyone. Thanks again! :)
Yes, please, on the umbrella. Very cool!
Thanks for posting my giveaway! LOVING the new changes on your blog, by the way :)
