  I am so sorry @dragon1030, but it is my understanding that once a blog has been deleted it cannot be restored. When you delete a blog it becomes permanent. There are several warnings put into place so that you cannot accidentally delete your site without fair warning. Please see link below:

  You may want to consider starting a new blog. To do so follow link below:

  Too bad you ignored the warnings. You cannot register any deleted blog URL. Deleting any .wordpress.com blog URL is not easily done and what you ask to do is not possible. One has to ignore at least three warnings stating that deletion is permanent and irreversible and then click a verification link in an email to delete a blog. That’s because deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and the only exceptions are made are for URLs that were deleted 2 or more years ago. http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  You can register another .wordpress.com blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

  Then if you wish to you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade because it does not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is when you are domain mapping.
