It's been a very, very busy and fretful and exciting couple of days around here. From a long-awaited special visit to my first-ever mammogram today, life has not allowed for much blogging as of late. But I logged on the computer tonight to check the usual sites, including a quick stop over to see the latest stats for my little old blog. It's fun to see the google searches that lead people here, and I'm always reminded of the apparently significant desire to know about "
fat pregnant ladies" in India.
(Seriously, it's searched for WAY too often...)There's one entry that seems to be in an uptick lately, one that never ceases to amaze me in its obsessive and just plain unexplainable appearance on here. The really funny thing is that for as often as this particular
cyber stalker visitor checks in here and over on lovely hubby's blog, she never seems to be able to remember our URLs. So, here's my little
PSA for the day. No need to search "
kiwanji blog" or "
morninglight mama blog" on Google, Einstein. It's actually fewer keystrokes to type
kiwanji.com and
morninglightmama.com. Or you could go to the top of your screen up there and bookmark us. Or, you could even put our feeds into your reader. Lots of options. No need to google it day after day.
With that simple little piece of advice out of the way, I hope to get back on here soon with regular blogging zeal. We've had a crazy amount of snow for our mid-Atlantic area, three days of school have already been cancelled, putting in place an extra long winter break, and we've been having a blast with family activities and holiday prep. Good times.
Living the life,
What? You're going to dis that poor person that Googles you? I'm always flattered when someone reaches my site by googling "Bowie Mike." Makes me feel like I'm a celebrity.
ReplyDeleteWhile we're on the topic, here are my three favorite Google searches from this past couple of days that brought people to my site:
(1) yelled at for shoveling an old lady's driveway
(2) need help shoveling snow in levittown ny
(3) compare price of turkey wings in bowie grocery stores
Sorry, that was me. Added you both to "favorites." ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays to all of you!
P.S. Hope the mammogram went well. I've heard they are fun.
But if she didn't do that, you wouldn't blog about her and then she wouldn't get her claim to fame.
ReplyDeleteSince my word verification word is patti, here's hoping that's her name...
Good one (in light of our skype conversation last night)!
ReplyDeleteWhat never ceases to amaze me is how much you can tell about us when we visit! :-) Or not.... I'm one of the less frequent visitors, I'm afraid, but you knew that already.
But I enjoy it very much when I do!
@Bowie Mike & Samsmama-- oh no, this is sadly a long-standing issue with a particular "family" member who is as crazy as they come. While we have cut ties in real life, she continues to stalk us in our online existences in weirdly obsessive way. Unfortunately, I had a moment of weakness and wrote this post after seeing her appear on the stats repeatedly in the last couple of weeks.
ReplyDelete@Hugeness-- yeah, yeah, I know. But sometimes being the "bigger person" gets just plain infuriating. She's crazy and sometimes crazy needs to be called out.
@Kirsten-- thanks for the support in this ridiculous situation.
Hey, how do you do the cool secret message for feed readers?
ReplyDeleteMy top searches are:
1. abbot of unreason
2. nevada city
3. initialization file is not writable (from a PowerBuilder (programming language)) thing I wrote way back in July, 2004.
4. ever since he had been trodden on by mrs steptoe, the alsatian had been thinking things over and trying to fix the responsibility. it had now become plain to him that all evidence pointed to the cat. he had never liked the cat. he had disapproved all along of admitting her to the library
I love that someone typed in that last one all the way and that it has happened often enough to make it #4 on my keywords.
