This Blog is Closing

I'm sad to say that this blog is closing. I've loved the friendships and the connections I've made through this blog. I've enjoyed having a blog with a funny name, but I think it's time I move on to a blog that has my name in the address. The writers butt blog will remain open for a time to ease the transition. 

Thank you to everyone who ever commented or followed my blog. Hope you'll follow me to the next one.
