Hi everybody. Today I thought it would be the PERFECT day to return from my 5 month hiatus because of [X]pendapalooza. I decided to take a break from blogging, posting youtube videos, and from Empire Avenue over the summer because I have had a lot of stuff going on in my life as of late including work, family stuff, deaths, etc...
Unfortunately since the last time I blogged my parrot Chester died. He had night frights and injured himself. More importantly, my brother's best friend was brutally murdered on Halloween. It has been a really sad and emotional time for myself and those I love. The person who killed her has still not been caught. It makes me very angry and sad. Needless to say, the past few months have been full of trials for me and thus my hiatus from most things internet related.
However, after relentless pestering from my friends from the Super Secret Awesome Group I am back on Empire Avenue and I thought I'd come in with a bang! I had 33 million eaves to spend this morning and due to [X]pendapalooza I decided to try and give back a significant portion of those eaves to you guys to spend on others via having Shareholder Missions. I have to say I am very impressed and grateful at how well these have been received and I am looking forward to continuing to chat with all of you via twitter, empire avenue and on the facebook group pages.
So now, as my shareholder mission #5 comes out - I suppose my blog will get a much needed onslaught of new followers!
Cheers to you guys, and thank you for reading and participating.
Love,
Elle.

Super Secret Awesome Groups are mega kewl. I am a member of one myself - they do keep life interesting and provide that kick-in-the-pants-motivation when needed!
