Dear Monday,

Don't let the Mondays get you down. Get the giggles.

I wish I had a best friend right next to me in the yearbook so we could have pulled something like that. Also. As always, Harry Potter for the win. Enjoy your Monday, whether it be work, school, finals, or laundry!

Love,

Dear No-Reply Comment Blogger,

There are a few things I hate when I blog... The captcha, which you should all remove because sometimes those TINY numbers are impossible to read. Especially when they are super blurry.

And second is noreply-comment@blogger.com. I really want to answer your emails. But.... I cant. Because you have made yourself basically blogger invisible. So here I am today. To TEACH you how to fix that! If you have recently changed over to Google+ chances are you are now a noreply-comment blogger, even if you weren't before. Imagine my surprise when people that had been replying to my comments for months messaged me and said "You are a noreply blogger..." I was sad for them. And for me. Because all that means is I have become that person that I never wanted to be! So here we go with the tutorial. It is rather simple. Let's do this.

Step 1

Click the sprocket, then in the drop down menu click "Revert to Blogger profile".

Step 2

 Click the scary orange "Switch to a limited Blogger profile". You don't have to stay a limited blogger for long... so it isn't as scary as they are making it seem.

Step 3

 Click the orange "Continue to Blogger" button. This will bring you back to your homepage.

Step 4

 In the top right corner click on your photo (or the silhoutte if your blogger profile is photoless) and then click the "blogger profile" link.

Step 5

Click the orange "Edit Profile" button.

Step 6

Make sure the box next to "Show my email address" is checked. Go save. Return to your blogger dashboard. Click on the sprocket that started it all. And click "Connect to Google+".. it will take you through a few steps to get you back to your Google+ account. 

If you want to test your noreply-comment blogger status, leave a comment on this post and I will let you know! Also. Don't forget to enter the Stella & Dot Giveaway!

Love,
Deidre

Dear Shark Week,

It is my favorite week. Of forever. First reason? I am getting married in just TWO days! Count them, one, two. What the heck?! How did this sneak up so fast. I know... you want the interesting facts about two, right?

• The first magic number.
• In Astrology, Taurus is the second sign of the Zodiac.
• In Finland, two candles are lit on Independence Day. 
• Putting them on the windowsill invokes the symbolical meaning of division, and thus independence.
• In Jewish law, the testimony of two witnesses are required to verify and validate events, such as marriage, divorce, and a crime that warrants capital punishment
• A binary star is a stellar system consisting of two stars orbiting around their center of mass.

And now onto my SECOND favorite reason for this week....

That is right ladies and gentleman. It is shark week. Why does that fascinate me? I don't know. But I love it. Last year I watched a documentary on Black December and I will forever be hooked on shark week. It is slightly terrifying and super interesting. If shark week plays anything on Black December this year, watch it. It is NUTS. So now, I am a shark week lover.

Wedding. Shark week. Best week ever. Two days.

Love,

Deidre

Dear Harry Potter,

His eyes are as green as a fresh pickled toad, his hair is as dark as a blackboard...

YER A WIZERD HARRY! Oh that sentence that will change all of our lives FOREVER. Remember those words? Remember the moment you started reading Harry Potter? Those books will never get old. I will always remember reading them time and time. Dressing up to go to midnight premieres. And feeling like my childhood officially ended when the final movie came out.

And for some reason when it is Harry's birthday I feel like it is my BFF's birthday. And I must celebrate with butterbeer and a movie marathon. Happy birthday old chap.

Love,
Deidre

Dear Mustache March,

First of all, did you know there are rules for Mustache March? And do you know what started this whole trend? The idea stems from an early Air Force tradition in which members of the U.S. Air Force would grow mustaches in goodhearted protest against facial hair regulations during the month of March.

Well there you have it people. Mustache March brought us many giggles, some well groomed staches, and some questionable hairy upper lips this season. And now, I bid thee farewell... I know all the men are sad to see you go and all the women are packing your bags and pushing you out the front door. Either way, it was nice to have you around for a month.  Good bye to all those baby mustaches until next year (or in some cases until November when men find another reason to grow a caterpillar)... Thank you for the fun, and I will see you soon! For your viewing pleasure, here are a few gems from this year's festivities.

  

Oh... and don't forget about the men from my work that made a calender featuring all the lovelies with facial hair. The bearded men of ONO. Here are two of my favorite pictures from the bunch. Want a calender? They are only $15. Let me know, and we can make it happen.

Now go shave those things off. You are scaring the children.
