Mailbox Goodies!

I haven't been feeling well, so I missed out on my first Random Thursday post & then my Friday 5 Favorite things too. I was excited when I checked my P.O. Box today & found my package from Rose Gordon with the book I won from her, His Yankee Bride & a little sachet with some promotional goodies inside; a lip balm, a pen & a magnet. I can't wait to start on this book tonight. I also got an early surprise from the State Department of Revenue with the title to my car that my Daddy gave me just a couple of weeks ago. I am unhappy with my post office though, I still haven't received my package that was mailed out in the beginning of February. Thanks post office, for making my first swap a big sadface!!

Happy Wednesday!

I haven't yet found any weekly blog events for Wednesday, so I was excited when I saw Yen post with this one time link up.

I started off as Lemonbirdy Designs. I had my website, lemonbirdy.net for several years after starting it up in 2004. I never was able to really settle on a logo or a definite website & layout style there.

Some of the many layouts used over the years for Lemonbirdy Designs.


In 2010, I needed to make a big change. I just felt it was time after holding on to lemonbirdy for so long. I have always been a big fan of zombie movies, books, art, pretty much the whole works & the whole idea of a zombie apocalypse was fascinating to me. And I have used birdy in everything for as long as I can remember because my last name is Byrd & my nicknames Birdy & Miss Birdy stemmed from there. So lemonbirdy became zombirdy & Zombirdy Designs.

I've switched logos only a few times so far with Zombirdy Designs.


Now it's 2013 & I am ready for a change again. Not as big of one this time. My designs will still be known under the name Zombirdy Designs. But I need something different for the blogging part of my online life. I have changed my blog just to say zombirdy.blogspot.com until I can come up with something suitable for where I am in life right now. I'd love to see some suggestions from y'all, so comment if you have any that you think would fit me!!

10 on Tuesday: Harder than I Thought

ONE. Tuesday always starts off with dialysis. Just a new fact of my life.

TWO. I missed The Oscars. I decided to go to work with my mom & I couldn't get the live streaming site to work. Doesn't matter though I didn't see any of the nominated films & really wouldn't have known the difference by seeing the winners.

THREE. I felt really good about keeping up with blogging this past week. It's easy to do when you take pictures & have blog hops & such to participate in.

FOUR. I saw my Nephrologist today. He says I am not eating or drinking enough & some of my important numbers are dangerously low. I definitely have to fix that problem.

FIVE. I won a giveaway at Once Upon a Book for a signed copy of a book called His Yankee Bride by Rose Gordon. I can't wait to read it & I will post a review as soon as I finish it!

SIX. I need a haircut. And I need to get my eyebrows done. Stat.

SEVEN. Anyone want to give me ideas for ways to build a following? Not like a massive following, but a following that actually reads my blog & engages in content & activities.

EIGHT. Craving a chili cheese coney & tots from Sonic! With a large diet coke, lol. They have the best fountain drinks.

NINE. I'm so happy to have a car again, but I am in dire need of gas & gas monies right now.

TEN. It is time for another trip to the beach Even the Mississippi Gulf coast will do.
