No Bodies Here or GFC


Yep, no bodies here.
Just a wall of plastic with nothing behind
it not even dry wall. A new purpose for it though,
a blank mat for taking pictures. I do realize that
it looks like we might just be in the Mob but
really we are way to boring for that. Although
a few drinks and well, I might just be known
to quote a few famous lines from certain
Al Pacino movie:
"Let me introduce you to my little friend!"

Truth, this is what we have had to look at 
everyday since JULY when we had the 
wall torn down for the roof leaking that
I have mentioned a number of times.

Yep, still leaking:(
We are working on it though.
Like calling the Better Business Bureau of Michigan.

Now that is an amazing agency. 
The quick turn around is, well, quick.

All I want for Christmas is to have my bedroom back.
Pathetic....
but oh, so very true.


I have been trying to decide how I feel about 
Google's announcement that they are eliminating
Google Friend Contact in March.
Didn't know that?
Yep, it's happening.
( For all blogs not hosted on blogger/blogspot)

I deleted GFC at the end of the summer
from my sidebar. The main reason was 
because I was spending far to much time 
fretting about my follower numbers and 
missing the point of why I wanted to blog
to begin with. With this being the case I
don't really care about the change, but I
don't want to lose my readers or to lose
the blogs I follow through GFC.
I have noticed a number of blogs announcing
Facebook pages to like and Bloglovin' to sign
up for ( I do have a link for this)
to continue to have access to posts.

I set up a Facebook page when I started OAGJ
but never actually published the page. I cannot
decide what to do about it now either.
The jury 
is still out. 

I can tell you what I have started to do,
for fear of losing my favorite
bloggers, I have
been adding RSS feeds to the left side bar.
I want to pass on the beauty of my blogroll
to all of my lovely readers. These ladies 
are fantastic and more will be added as 
I continue to link up the feeds.

So...
 check out the lovelies to the left for some 
fabulous reading and prepare to meet some brand
new fabulous friends:)


Sweater: NY&Co (Really Old!); White Shirt: Vanity;

Skirt: Thrifted, Goodwill; Boots and Tights: Target;

Enjoy!

XOXO,

Julie

  1. I had no idea that GFC was disappearing. Not sure where I was when that was announced...

    I always love when bloggers have a blogroll-I am constantly adding new bloggers to read! I can't wait to go through yours!

  2. We did hear something about this. We finally got on the Bloglovin band wagon, but haven't taken the plunge with Facebook. Guess we better get all those blogs we love switched over soon. Just updated our blogroll this morning!

    Love your argyle sweater and your amazing plastic backdrop :) Bummer about the leak still.

  3. you look amazing. i love the colors and the boots (and even the wall looks kind of cool, in a mobster way). if i am reading it correctly, i believe that google friend connect is only shutting down for non-blogger users. so...it should still work for you. but don't quote me on that!

  4. I actually freaked about the upcoming GFC thing, too, when I heard about it. Since I am through Blogger, I won't have the issue, but a lot of my friends will, and I am worried about how it will impact them. I plan to bookmark a lot of my favorite sites that may not use GFC come March.

    I really love your vest. Too cute!

  5. Your arm candy is lovely :) GFC never worked on Wordpress blogs like mine, and I use RSS (Specifically NetNewsWire) to follow the blogs I love. So this change won't really affect me, but I'm sorry for those who it will make a HUGE difference for.
