{sorry!}

Hi everyone! Okay - so sorry that I haven't been able to post the winners of the giveaways yet. I also have some more reviews and giveaways to post too. We had a brief thunderstorm the other day & a short, quick power outage. Well, that small period of time without power caused my computer to go crazy! It was in the middle of downloading a Windows update when the power went out, and even though the generator kicked in - it was too late. I'm thinking that something happened due to interrupting the update... I don't really know what happened, but it just started working literally 15 minutes ago, so I am finally able to get back on my *precious* computer :)

Also, today is my birthday! (yay!) - so we do have a few things planned, so I might not be able to get what I need posted today. Maybe tonight - or tomorrow.

Again, so sorry for "neglecting" the blog - but I promise that there is going to be some pretty great posts coming very soon :)

P.S. I just thought I'd tell you about a weird thing that happened to me yesterday.

I went to the doctor for just a normal, no-stress check-up. Right after one of the nurses checked my blood pressure - she checked my pulse using the "wrist method." Well, all I can tell you is that the nurse had some pretty strong fingers because my wrist is bruised thanks to her checking my pulse! Oh my goodness - it was awful. I didn't want to say anything because she was really concentrated on checking my pulse and even reset her timer a few times because she was "interrupted" by random sounds from the doctor's office. I always thought that to check your pulse, you just count it for a few seconds then multiply that number by 6 (correct me if I'm wrong). Well, I guess this nurse either didn't know that or doesn't know how to multiply.

Can you tell I'm annoyed? *lol*

I probably only got a few hours of sleep last night thanks to the pain in my wrist, and it is still somewhat sore as of today. So, let me warn you all - make sure that when your pulse is checked that you don't get a nurse whose fingers have the force of a hammer!
