cardstore, the best kind of cards you will ever purchase

If you’re like me then you have the hardest of times picking out: birthday cards, get well cards, thank you cards, and any other type of card there is. Either the card doesn’t really say what I want it to say, or I wish I could change the picture and customize it. It really makes card buying a long process and I usually end up just getting one that I kind-of like. But, no need to fear card shopping any longer, now we have Cardstore.com!!

when it rains you find an excuse to go outside

Let’s talk about weather… I mean isn’t that what you talk about when you have nothing else to say? I’ve been having the worst migraines this week and I have a feeling that it has something to do with this horrid weather. Booooooo. Arizona is known for its notorious heat… if you didn’t know.
