Harnessing the healing power of snark

Trying Something New

By 2 Comments

In the spirit of having a lot of free time because school hasn’t started yet, I have been experimenting with different things in order to increase the traffic on this site.

The “Blogs of Summer Awards” were a smashing success, as participation there quadrupled my traffic for that week. (Notice how I’m not listing any actual numbers here, because somehow to me no number sounds quite as impressive as the word, “quadrupled”.)

This week I decided to participate in the Thursday Thirteen, something I learned about from the Blogs of Summer. I get to link with lots of other bloggers, and I get to make lists. So it’s all good.

Enjoy!

7:23 am: After clearing the bedroom of all cats your husband leaves for the grocery store which, fortunately for you, is open 24 hours a day

7:25 am: With nothing left to do but go back to bed, you find yourself mentally constructing the funniest way to present this story on your blog

7:30 am: Typing…

Welcome to My New Blog

For a long time now I have been intrigued by the idea of blogs, and I am excited that I finally have one of my own. I love the freedom of being able to get my thoughts and ideas out to lots of people so easily . I love having a space that gives people a chance to experience who I am when they visit my website. Most of all, I love being able to share all the fun that I have by just being me and being here in this life.

I found a great quote by John D. MacDonald that really sums up my approach to life. He says, “My purpose is to entertain myself first and other people secondly.” After that, everything else just takes care of itself.
