Why I think Bloglovin' is Bitchin'

As most all of you know

(And are more than likely SUPER sick of hearing about)

GFC and Google Reader are gonna be bye-bye soon

When I found this out a couple months ago, I was pretty miffed.

I worked my buns off acquiring new friends through GFC and I was proud of the number of readers I had gotten

Only to feel the crushing blow of Google's bad news.

Cuttlefish from CuddleFishFarm

Like I said in my last post, I am nuts over any kind of cephalopods.... but my most favorite of all are cuttlefish... they are amazing and super smart and beautiful

ya know... in a slimy kinda way

a common pattern for cuttlefish to show is a zebra stripes, however they are capable of MANY designs 

Cuttlefish also have really cool eyes.  Their pupils are shaped like "W"s
