INTERESTING FACTS

Blogger changed a few thing over the weekend, making it easier to read/publish comments... and I found out a few interesting things about MY BLOG :

- I published my first ever blog post on Saturday, October 14, 2006. I was, to be quite truthful.... scared shitless when I did it! I had no idea if anyone would ever read it... let alone leave a comment.

At this stage I was only reading about 3 blogs myself... and I felt really nervous whenever I left a comment in case I offended someone! LOL ...

How times have changed! Now I leave comments left, right and centre and if I offend someone... I know I didn't intend to!

- I 'follow' about 290 blogs, and the number grows daily... which is quite a worry as there is no way I can keep up-to-date with everyone... and that makes me feel like a bad blogger!

- I have done (as of today) 1, 419 posts on my blog!

- There have been 23,673 comments left on my blog (why Thank YOU!)

- My blog has been VIEWED 483, 150 times (as of last night)

- I am almost at 500,000 Page Views!!!

So... I am thinking of doing 'something' for my HALF A MILLION VIEWS! Or my 4th Bloganniversary, whichever comes first! Any ideas??? A giveaway?

I will leave you all with that question for now... as I have to get the lunches made, kids out the door, and me off to Patchwork Class!

ONWARD...

Patchwork was so-so today.. I felt 'out of it' a bit.... just didn't feel like part of the group at all today, not sure why. I'm tired. I didn't sleep well last night at all... a few hot flushes are creeping back into my day, and that is depressing.

Not sure if I even feel like making the baby quilt anymore either... there is a baby on the way, but I'm not allowed to even mention it to anyone... so how can I get excited about it? .... crabby about that.

Over my little pity party... had a nap instead of making cards... off to prepare dinner now.... Beef Stew.

*** PEPSI UPDATED *** PESPSI UPDATED *** PEPSI UPDATED *** PEPSI UPDATED

Dinner was ... delicious! One of the best beef stews I have made. Had it with lots of green veges and corn kernels. YUM YUM.

End of Day: still feeling a bit down ... can't seem to snap out of it. Shit happens, just have to try and not let it bring me down eh? nite nite.

  4. Impressive stats.

    Wow!

    About the scared bit. For the first few months I made comments I always asked permission before I put a Blog on my Reader List. I think I even asked permission to comment.

    I love comments so finally I have the courage to 'go for it.' Some people respond. Others never. That's the freedom we have in Bloggieland.

    There's no way you can keep up with so many Blogs. You might have to go through and purge especially those that haven't posted in a while.

    Look who's talking. I keep adding. So many interesting people, so many great Blogs, so much support. I was thinking this morning about how my social life revolves around the people I'm meeting in Bloggieland and my other friends are being neglected. There are only so many days in an hour ....

    Oh well today I must visit a special friend but I want to bake something to take. The friend we were house sitting for came home with a broken hip. I'd cook a dinner if I had some interesting stuff in the house. We are very basic now thatI'm on track again.

  8. You are truly dedicated....posting every day would be overwhelming to me. I'm going to go and try to see what the Blogger changes are that you are talking about.

  9. Thats why I only post once a week. And because no one would read it more often than that. I only have a handful of people (about 4) read mine, and I only read a chosen few.

    I don't always leave a comment on yours, but I read it every weekday (at work, lazy tart I am).

    Keep it going for as long as you can. We love your work! xx

  21. Just because you are not allowed to mention the baby to anyone (for whatever reason), you can still be excited.
