Well Hi There! (Alternatively titled: I’m not doing Christmas cards)
Blogtropolis! What’s up? I feel a little like Drew Barrymore in Never Been Kissed on that first day she goes back to high school.

The Day WOAW Died . . .
Monday night was a typical night. After drafting a post, I hit “Publish,” and guess what happened? It wouldn’t let me. I was directed to my Dashboard where this message awaited me: “This blog has been deactivated because we believe that it does not comply with the WordPress.com Terms of Service or advertising policy. ” Continue reading
