It wasn't because I wanted to....it was because I was doing good to make it to work and home with out passing out. I love being pregnant now, it was hard in the beginning. A sickness I will NEVER forget. Thank you for all being so loyal and hanging around, Oh how I have miss all of you.<br />It amazes me more and more when I have never met some of you in real life yet you are all so thoughtful. I get phone calls, emails, text messages and the cards. You see you learn you your friends are in times like that. When you feel like you just don't think you can make it much more and you get a text or call saying, Hey, I was just thinking of you, hope your feeling better or when you come home and check the mail and there are cards awaiting. Just a little note to let you know that you are being thought of. Thank you again. It just amazes me at the kindness you <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">receive</span> from "almost" total strangers. I consider you all very special friends. Thank you for thinking of me.....<br />Now to lighten the mood...Wow, I have my life back so it seems. I feel better and have a little more energy, Thank you Jesus! I am going to be 15 weeks on Friday.

I am sorry I haven't been around much. Morning sickness ( aka "all day sickness") has really been wearing me down. I do good to make it to work and home. Home to hop in my bed. I feel like I have so much to share, but not sure where to start.<br />I am now a little over 11 weeks. We have been going through baby names, and trying to guess girl or boy. We may find out on the 15th when I go back to the doctor.<br />I hope that all of you ladies having been doing well, don't worry I have been reading your blogs trying to keep up.<br /><br />breannaBreannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10473834675953264009noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5543491701759587541.post-29760222629996798712010-06-21T19:04:00.002-05:002010-06-21T19:27:02.115-05:00$125 bucks Later...So yesterday the sweet hubby and I went to see his Dad and to see my Dad. Well on the way home the hubby hits a MASSIVE pothole. Of course the unthinkable happens. The tire burst and the it bent the rim. So it the massive heat the hubby tried to put the spare on, and of course the spare is almost flat. At this point I am thinking- Really it's hotter than 2 rats screwing in a wool sock and we have another flat-Are you kidding me! Well we make it to our friends where the hubby aired the spare and we came home. So today I am trying to find who can fix the rim. They tell me they can repair the whole thing for $125. Ouch!<br /><br />So the hubby was so sweet the entire time. Knowing I am hot, pregnant, tired and miserable he just smiles and does his best to fix it all and make everything go smoothly. I love that man.....he is more than good to me.<br /><br />bBreannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10473834675953264009noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5543491701759587541.post-91882690677868721332010-06-14T07:14:00.002-05:002010-06-14T07:30:20.515-05:00I Am Back With So Much To Talk AboutFirst off, the hubby and I are finally in the house. Though everything isn't exactly where it should be I am working on it. It's such a cute house and we are so in love with it. I am not in love with the huge yard that will soon have to be cut(in this sweltering heat and 80% humidity). I am going to start posting pictures. We plan on doing a few things so I will do some before and after pics. I am going to need <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">input</span> from all of you. I know you all have great taste and can help.<br /><br />Secondly, I am happy and excited to announce that I am<span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 255);"> pregnant</span>! I found out on June 3rd. As of today I am 8 weeks pregnant and feeling it. The nausea has been around for a while and it's rough, but I know that it is all for a good reason. The hubby and I couldn't be more excited! Everyone is asking,"Do you want a boy or girl?". I just want a healthy baby, but if I am asked to specify what gender I am hoping for a little girl( and of course the hubby would love a little boy). But as I said all I pray is that all goes well and that its a healthy little baby ! Thank you to everyone who has sent cards, emails and prayers our way! We are forever thankful!<br /><br />Love, BBreannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10473834675953264009noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5543491701759587541.post-31921975738462187582010-05-31T17:40:00.002-05:002010-05-31T17:48:39.115-05:00What would you LOVE to do with a new place?<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">Hello Everyone!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">This is </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#993399;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">Rasha</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">, from: </span><a href="http://missrashamarie.blogspot.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">and this is what she said</span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">Breanna is really busy </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">unpacking and getting settled into her new house</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">!</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><br /></span></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_irO2wuxdxps/TAQ7CAOI8PI/AAAAAAAAAMc/gcYsfqc96kE/s1600/moving.jpeg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 212px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_irO2wuxdxps/TAQ7CAOI8PI/AAAAAAAAAMc/gcYsfqc96kE/s320/moving.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477567952394449138" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">But she wanted to let all her lovely readers know that she hasn't disappeared, and will be back with updates about her new fabulous house.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">In the meantime, </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">tell me something you would <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC0000;">LOVE</span> to do if you got a new place...</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">It can be that you get to redecorate, or organize, or start fresh, </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#006600;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">What would you do with a new place??</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#006600;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">xoxo-</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">Rasha</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Breannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10473834675953264009noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5543491701759587541.post-86552171050044373142010-05-18T20:58:00.004-05:002010-05-18T21:08:07.565-05:00We Close On The House-Thurs!!I am so surprised I still have followers. After my little blogging hiatus. For real, I am sorry. It seems like I having been running in circles. We are closing on the new house on Thursday, yes just 2 days! So I have been packing like crazy and getting things ready to move. Not to mention the stress of buying a house. I mean really? Its been the most traumatic thing I have done. Just a lot to do and papers to have, which when you are living out of boxes isn't easy.<br /><br />I am hoping that this stress will go away soon. Thank you for sticking around. I will be posting pictures of the house and the new stuff we will be doing to it. I would love your inputs! Thank you for being such sweet friends- I love you all!<br /><br />Love- BBreannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10473834675953264009noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5543491701759587541.post-47882007629812659612010-05-03T20:49:00.005-05:002010-05-03T20:58:24.760-05:00A New Blogger!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_irO2wuxdxps/S999Ws8VCcI/AAAAAAAAAMU/g6z3cSoViz4/s1600/Alicia+and+Brea"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 227px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_irO2wuxdxps/S999Ws8VCcI/AAAAAAAAAMU/g6z3cSoViz4/s320/Alicia+and+Brea" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467226301625862594" border="0" /></a><br />Wow, this was a long time ago(we had been washing our cars all day =) ).

Sorry things have been somewhat crazy lately. The hubby and I are buying a house ( the most stressful thing I think I have ever done).So we have been living out of boxes ( my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">ocd</span> is going nuts!) I hate it! But I am thankful that we have found such a beautiful home. I am so excited. Our projected closing date is scheduled for May 20<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">th</span>. We are hoping to close before then. So I am sure once we are in I will need you lovely ladies to help me decorate!<br />Thank you for all sticking around and staying loyal. You are all jewels!<br />Also, May 7<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">th</span> is another big day for the hubby and I. I have just gone through the 3rd round of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Clomid</span>. I am hoping this is the one. I am trying so hard to be patient, but I am getting tired. I am not losing hope though. I am keeping my head up and I am staying strong.<br />I hope all you lovely ladies had a wonderful weekend! I am back for good or <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">at least</span> until we move, but I still won't be gone long =)<br /><br />Love, BBreannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10473834675953264009noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5543491701759587541.post-45258589942261086352010-04-22T20:27:00.003-05:002010-04-22T20:35:05.078-05:00I Want To Shop!<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_irO2wuxdxps/S9D3tUN4g-I/AAAAAAAAAME/MIQvtQupgcU/s1600/shopping.bmp"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 254px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463138705893524450" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_irO2wuxdxps/S9D3tUN4g-I/AAAAAAAAAME/MIQvtQupgcU/s400/shopping.bmp" /></a> I don't know if it's just a girl thing or just me. When I am anxious or nervous I want to go shopping. It doesn't even have to be anywhere big, it can <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">simply</span> be <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">WalMart</span>. Weird I know. I am in this weird mood today. So much on my mind I just need a charge card and let me go. Unfortunately since I am in the process if trying to buy a home I can impulse shop ( my worst <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">habit</span>). I can think of so much I want. I know that is selfish I should be thankful for all the nice things I have, but I swear its just the anxiety. Don't get me wrong I love to shop, but even more so when I am anxious/nervous.<br /><br />I want to shop for my new house. I want to buy paint, home decor, new pots and pans, a Kitchen Aid mixer...... and the list goes on and on.<br />So while I am trying to be a good girl today- I won't go shopping. I will surpass the urge!<br />I hope all of you sweet girls have had a great Thursday, be happy tomorrow is FRIDAY!!<br /><br />Love-BBreannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10473834675953264009noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5543491701759587541.post-1680112242585120642010-04-18T15:37:00.003-05:002010-04-18T15:50:40.213-05:00When It Seems To Be Too Good........It Usually Is.I sit down to write this post and I am at lost for words, not sure how or where to begin. I was on cloud nine this week from the wonderful news that I got on Tuesday. That is until yesterday morning when I awoke feeling like hell. <span style="font-size:78%;">(Sorry, but this post is about to get personal).</span><span style="font-size:100%;"> I had started my cycle. </span><br />Each month I take a hormone to make me have a period and then this month it just happens by itself and at the wrong damn time. I guess holding on to the hope that just maybe I might be pregnant was then shattered.<br />Tomorrow I will start the fertility medicine again for the 3rd time. I <strong>HATE </strong>that stuff and it is the absolute worst feeling ever.<br /> So here is to another month and another try. My hope is fading and it's so hard to stay positive. I am just going to put a smile on my face and focus on the new house and try to keep my mind off of it. It does no good to sit and worry it just makes my dream seem like it's just so far away.Breannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10473834675953264009noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5543491701759587541.post-77171466429876982082010-04-14T20:19:00.002-05:002010-04-14T20:28:40.566-05:00BEST NEWS EVER!I am still in total shock. I had my progesterone levels drawn on Saturday. So after I was pissed because I didn't hear anything on Monday, I called Tuesday for results. I had to leave the nurse a voicemail and she returned my call within 10 min. She said Breanna we are so happy with your results. You did ovulate on the new dose! Last month my numbers were 7.6. They want them to be atleast 14 or higher. So when I asked her what my numbers were this month she said Breanna, I am not sure. Our lab cuts off at 20 and it was greater than 20!!!<br /><br />Thank you everyone! I love you all and thank you all so much for your kind comments, text messages and emails. They mean the world to me!Breannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10473834675953264009noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5543491701759587541.post-67293122426353660872010-04-12T20:42:00.003-05:002010-04-12T20:48:45.983-05:00Monday's Just SuckOk, I really hate Monday's. It's been one of those days. My hopes were high and I was waiting to hear if the Clomid worked this month. I wouldn't know because they didn't call. That's right. Not a phone call. So that just really bummed me out. And with the way these hormones are raging it makes me want to call them and say, "Thanks for not doing your job." It's really important to me that I know what's going on, it may not affect you, but it does me" "So do your job and call me my results"<br /><br />Ok, I am done ranting. I hope tomorrow is better. I do not want another day like today,please.<br /><br />Love, BBreannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10473834675953264009noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5543491701759587541.post-72782438949955422012010-04-01T20:38:00.003-05:002010-04-01T20:45:19.384-05:00Dear BlogDear Blog,<br /><br />I am sorry I have been MIA the last week. My life has been chaotic. We moved out of our apartment and are now looking for a house before April 30<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span>. Soon right? We know. So in the middle of all of that I am trying to get my stuff that was stolen from my luggage. I am sorry that you and all my sweet blogger friends may feel neglected, I am trying to juggle everything and I am doing a shitty job. I'm sorry. I still love you all!<br /><br />Love, BBreannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10473834675953264009noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5543491701759587541.post-73782741527864336212010-03-23T19:17:00.003-05:002010-03-23T19:28:29.370-05:00My Award<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_irO2wuxdxps/S6lbK0VU1UI/AAAAAAAAALU/OrP7loMD8qQ/s1600-h/beautiful+blog+award"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451989065313604930" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 220px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_irO2wuxdxps/S6lbK0VU1UI/AAAAAAAAALU/OrP7loMD8qQ/s400/beautiful+blog+award" border="0" /></a><br />My sweet friend Misty over at Southern Belle Mamma <a href="http://musingsofasouthernbellemama.blogspot.com/">(http://musingsofasouthernbellemama.blogspot.com/</a>)<br />gave me this sweet award.

I think it's actually more than nervous, its scared, hopeful, anxious and doubtful. Tomorrow is Day 3 of my cycle and that means that I will be starting the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Clomid</span>, yet again. I am not sure if any of you know, but that is some horrible stuff, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">ok</span>?<br />It's bad when the Pharmacist says, "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Ins't</span> it a shame you have to pay for stuff that makes you feel bad? You would think they would make it to where it made you feel good."<br />I am hoping that I am not Mrs.<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Crabbypants</span>, because it makes me feel sorry for the hubby.<br /><br />I am going to try not to be so nervous tonight and get a little sleep. Yesterday was bad... really bad. It's been a really bad cycle, so maybe something good will come from it. I am just trying to stay positive and think happy thoughts, that has to count for something right?<br /><br />Thank you all for your sweet emails, text and comments- It means the world!<br /><br />Love,BBreannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10473834675953264009noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5543491701759587541.post-11181921398840199242010-03-22T19:45:00.004-05:002010-03-22T19:56:37.046-05:00I LOVED NYC!!!<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_irO2wuxdxps/S6gQA4WMGaI/AAAAAAAAALE/ZDJDXNf-Xcc/s1600-h/Picnik_collage_Breanna.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451624956243483042" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 188px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_irO2wuxdxps/S6gQA4WMGaI/AAAAAAAAALE/ZDJDXNf-Xcc/s400/Picnik_collage_Breanna.jpg" border="0" /></a> I absolutely loved NYC! A place with so much energy. I have photo's to share later, we're in the middle of moving so locating the camera cord is a problem. On my little <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">vacay</span> in NYC I met up with one of the first <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">bloggers</span> that I followed. I'm sure you all know her she is Summer at B is for Brown, Breathe and Believe. I just love her. She has been such an inspiration to me and been such a wonderful friend. As you can see we had to celebrate right....with a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">stache</span>!<br /><br />Summer, Your a doll! I loved hanging out with you and dinner was great. I wish we could have hung out a little longer, but don't you worry I will definitely be coming back to see you! Oh, and I loved Oliver and Mr.<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Tabasco</span> they were too cute. The apartment is so you and your unique touch will make it shine! Thank you for my coffee mug and stationary!

<br />I went to my thyroid doctor today. Well just what I thought. My thyroid level was too low so now they changed up my medication just a little. So I am to see her again in 2 <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">mths</span>. I go tomorrow morning to have my progesterone level drawn. I am sure I won't know anything until Monday, since I won't be seeing the doctor.
<br />
<br />So I am planning a good weekend. We're going to the park, getting a new digital camera and relaxing. Hope all of you have a good weekend!

I haven't been completely open, only because I didn't know if I should put it all into one blog. I have decided that one blog is enough. I feel that if people want to be friends and follow my blog they should know what's going on in my life. That was the purpose of the blog , to express myself and also a way for me to vent. I have met some really special people here in the blogging world who mean so very much to me. I get emails, text messages and sweet little letters from a few of my blogger friends and I have truly enjoyed it.<br /><br />So I am going to share a little piece of my life with you all. If you don't want to read <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">that's</span> fine. If you do not have the time to read that is fine too, but I feel like my blog is therapy and its a relief for me so I am going to share.<br /><br />The hubby and I have been together for almost 6 years and have been married for 2 years. A year and half ago I was diagnosed with <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Hashimoto's</span> Disease<span style="font-size:78%;"> (<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Hashimoto's</span> disease, also known as chronic <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">lymphocytic</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">thyroiditis</span>, your immune system attacks your thyroid gland. The resulting inflammation often leads to an <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">under active</span> thyroid gland (hypothyroidism).</span><span style="font-size:100%;"> I will now take a pill every morning for the rest of my life to replace the hormones that my thyroid doesn't produce. I have never been the one to have to take medications, so it was a very hard thing for me to accept. I am fine with it now. It doesn't cause me any pain, just some annoying problems. This issue causes infertility. So for 2 years now we have tried on our own with no luck. So we decided to start fertility medications. It's not been fun, not at all. I never knew that trying to have a baby could be so hard? I started the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Clomid</span> again this month and have an empty feeling. I don't feel pregnant, although what does it feel like to be pregnant? This medicine has been hell. I am not sure of any other way to put it. I am so surprised that my sweet husband has not had divorce papers stuck on the refrigerator waiting for me when I get home. The mood swings are BAD, I am nauseated 24/7 and I feel like my hips </span>have been crushed. I am not asking for sympathy. I am just being real.<br /><br />I am trying to be optimistic, but that is so very hard to do when you feel bad. I get up and just pray that I will make it through the day so I can come home and just lay down. I sit here and think I am just in the beginning of all of this. I have seen what women like Summer at B is for Brown have gone through and I am amazed. She has been such a trooper. She has been an inspiration to me, told me what to expect and has given me hope when I know that sometimes she has lost it. I just pray each night that God with give me the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">strength</span> to go through this. I would say I am a pretty strong person and I am the one you always see with a smile on my face, but lately that smile hasn't been there. I don't say much about "possibly" being pregnant around the hubby, only because I do not want him to get his hopes up. I do not know how he has managed to deal with me and the lovely hormones, but he deserves an award. Its bad when you can't stand to be around yourself, much less him having to put up with it...<br /><br />I go to see my <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Endocrinologist</span> ( Thyroid MD) on Friday and Saturday morning I go to my Ob/<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Gyn</span> and have my levels drawn to see if I ovulated this month on the fertility drug. If in fact I did ,I am told that between 10-14 days I can test to see if I am pregnant. I am going to take it one day at a time. So if I miss a day or two posting you'll understand.<br /><br />Thank you all for the sweet cards, text and emails it means so very much to me! I love you all!<br /><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">breanna</span>Breannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10473834675953264009noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5543491701759587541.post-48376237781028230782010-03-02T22:27:00.004-06:002010-03-02T22:40:00.126-06:00WINNERS!!I just want to start of by saying I am sorry that I haven't posted the winners of the Lip Balm giveaway.
