    Just to clarify, did you make any changes to your Name Servers, so that you are now using Godaddy’s name servers? If not could you explain in a bit more detail what were the changes you made?

    Step one was purchasing the domain name.
    Step 2 will be purchasing a domain mapping upgrade if and only if you want to use the domain URL you purchased from godaddy to map to from your underlying .wordpress.com URL at
    http://vegaschicksfarm.wordpress.com/

    If you would like to use a domain URL that you already own on the blog hosted by WordPress.com you will first need to register a .wordpress.com blog, purchase an upgrade for it, and set up domain mapping.

    WordPress.com does not accept domain transfers but mapping an existing domain is possible. Domain mapping of an existing domain URL that you already own and purchased elsewhere is not done free of charge. You will have to renew the domain name purchase where you made it and the domain mapping purchase here every year.

    Please read Important Notes Before Upgrading http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#important-notes-before-upgrading

    These are the only accepted methods of payment http://en.support.wordpress.com/payment/

    Mapping an existing domain costs $13. annually. In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from and it does not matter what that underlying .wordpress.com URL is. It does not have to match the domain URL. If you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchase a domain name by purchasing an annually renewable domain mapping upgrade for the blog.

    If you own a domain then see here for mapping an existing domain that you already own http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

    Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades is where you do the primary blog set up knowing it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.
