Counting the Clicks

I have to admit. I'm addicted to my blog counter. I often wonder what kind of traffic (if any) I'm getting and who is reading this. Which is why I love Blog Patrol. They give you fairly detailed reports on who is reading your blog each day and how they got there. Not that I check it every day or anything. No, because that would be crazy, right?
Anyway....I was looking at this week's "searches". When people type in these phrases, my blog pops up. I found some of them really funny and thought I'd share a few of my favorites with you.

1. Tea party spoons
Now, I can see how they might have gotten that one. Spoonfull of Sarah and all.

2. Scar the kid
Should I be offended by that? Not really something I want to be known for.

3. Crazy out of control
Sheesh....I'm getting a complex already.

4. Free poke
I'll leave that one to your imaginations.

I'm not entirely sure that those key words capture the "wonder" that is my blog.

Rough Day

Don't really want to post today...it's been kind of a rough one. Four people coded, only one was successful. I hate days like this. And the rainy/sleety weather seems to suit everyone's mood.
Maybe tomorrow will be better.

When I Grow Up

Is it just me or are you having a hard time deciding what you want to be when you grow up. I mean, I already have one career, am going to school to pursue another, and yet I still don't feel like I REALLY want to do any of it.
When you're little anything seems possible. Wanna be an Astronaut? Ballerina? Doctor? The sky's the limit, as is your potential. Then as you get older reality sets in. Not smart enough for an astronaut. Not coordinated enough for a ballerina. Doctor....do I really want to be on call all the time? School costs so much money and takes so much time. You should really love what you're doing when you are done. Theoretically. But really, how many of you LOVE what you're doing? Not me. I don't absolutely Hate it (anymore) but I wouldn't say it's my passion or that it's something I see myself doing for the rest of my life. By thirty shouldn't I have this all figured out? I don't know. I think I just get bored doing the same thing for too long. When did I become so indecisive?
Ultimately, I have NO idea what I want to be. I'd say that's true for every aspect of my life. I don't know what I want....but I'm open to suggestions!

I'll leave the decision to you....

I recently finished a story that I was working on for my creative writing class. I worked really hard on this story and handed it in last Thursday. Then I held my breath over the weekend and hoped that my teacher my work. When I went to class this Tuesday, I got the paper back. I quickly flipped to the last page (where he always puts his comments) and there was my grade. A.
He also made the comment that I should continue on with the story. And that I should make copies for the class to read. I did, and will pass them out later on tonight. My question to all you reader(s) is....would you like for me to post it? It's kind of long, but if you want to read it, I will.

Wordless Wednesday

My Backyard....you've gotta love fall!

Fist Fight at the Polls

I got up extra early this morning so that I could vote before work because after work I had class. I am NOT a morning person. Never have been. I get to my polling place before six and start to wait in line. It was a good size line, but it was moving pretty quickly. There was a lady in front of me totally freaking out. She was yelling "I can't believe this...All these DEMOCRATS need to just GO HOME! This is ridiculous, the DAMN DEMOCRATS don't usually vote why are they bothering now?" I could not keep my mouth shut. I told her that I am a democrat and I've voted in every election since I was 18 years old and she needed to SHUT IT! It really pissed me off. She should be happy that there was such a large voter turn out. I'm proud that so many people participated this year. Maybe this will encourage more people to vote in the future. Honestly, it wasn't about being a Democrat or Republican, we should be allowed to cast our votes without being harassed by ignorant, spiteful harpies bothering us. It's our right. Our votes are especially important as women because we had to fight so hard to earn this right.
I hope everyone voted today. I don't care who you voted for, just that you did.

Costume Party Pics

I know everyone is waiting with bated breath for the pictures of Spiderman and I in our costumes, so here goes. Here's Spiderman dressed as "Dr. McNinja". Don't ask why....he's just weird.
I ended up being a little disappointed with my costume. I couldn't get the fangs to stick and let me just say that Fixodent tastes really nasty. So here I am looking a little pissy in my costume. I was just a witch instead.

There were lots of really fun costumes at the party. Hannah Montana, for example, talking to Bam Bam and I think a Fairy.
These two were dressed like the 50's. Her poodle skirt was adorable. I wish Spiderman would do couple's costumes. He hates things like that.
This was a housewife pregnant with the milkman's baby. It was VERY cute in person! We had a lot of fun, and didn't get home till after 1am. I'm really tired today. I think I'll go take a nap!
