I know you are all wondering what my pesky blog is up to this week. Well, the blog just recently got up to 34 followers! I know right?! Unfortunately, at 32 s/he started sending out job resumes so s/he could move out of my basement and stop playing World of Warcraft so frequently, but somehow the blog just hasn’t had any luck getting interviews. Maybe YOU could be the next follower to help my dear ol’ blog hit the mid-life crisis phase of life. Who doesn’t love a mid-life crisis? A few hot flashes could help the blog combat the winter cold that is settling in on Maine. So go follow, now!

We are nearing the end of NaBloPoMo (just as I get the spelling of NaBloPoMo down, of course, it will end). I’m looking forward to having a little time away from my computer. Every healthy relationship needs some time away, and the computer and I have been REALLY CLOSE lately. I am going to be writing a “Lessons Learned” post about NaBloPoMo, so be excited because I learned A LOT this month.

Google Analytics only feeds the obsession of learning more about my demographics, readers, and statistics regarding this blog. It’s unhealthy, but so cool. I feel like a Ninja with all this information at my fingertips!

We are getting our Christmas tree today. And in case you’ve been following for a few weeks, I DID get my living room painted (thanks to the support of my best friend). I also got the office painted. We are kicking butt on our Sell-This-Friggin-House-So-We-Can-Move-To-NC goal. It’s hard, but will be worth it in the end. Also, now I don’t have to force the attendees of my “Ugly Christmas Sweater” Party to paint a wall in my living room before they enjoy dessert. They may still be forced to take home a piece of crapinolongerwantinmyhouse, though.

That’s my 5 minutes. Hope you enjoyed the roller coaster ride through my brain! I’m off to get ready for brunch with some of my fabulous social worker friends! We will sit around and diagnose talk with each other like it hasn’t been months since we last saw each other. I love that feeling. Happy Sunday, everyone!

I am linking up with Fadra for my Stream of Consciousness Sunday.
Visit her here, and join in the brain vomiting fun!
Haha, you could put the pieces of crapinolongerwantinmyhouse into colorful gift bags, and hand them out as party favors. π
I am jealous of your brunch 7 enjoyed reading your brain dump. how is it that you can write so much in 5 minutes?
Popping in from SOC π
I have a love/hate with blog stats, though I do love to see the ways people find my blog.
Hey – you're moving to NC? Why don't you buy my house so I can sell-this-friggin-house-and-move-to-MD?? I'll make you a really good deal and I promise it's nice π
Good for you for getting to the end of NaBloPoMo! I am so inspired by all of you bloggers that participated! Yay!
I have to still google NaBloPoMo, how pathetic is that? I'm very jealous of your google analytics ninja prowess!
Hi! I'm popping in from SOC Sunday! Wow! I am so impressed with everyone that has been participating in NaBloPoMo!
Also? Ugly sweater party? I have ALWAYS wanted to do that. Sounds super fun!
(Sorry ~ removed a typo in the earlier comment) Ha! Fadra – nice try. My analytics info just generally shows me when I've been sub par at promoting a post. I'm curious… do you two share the 5 minutes? : )
@thismumma- that is a FANTASTIC IDEA!! lol.
@Robbie- I am a very fast typer, thankfully!
@Lis- I have a love/hate thing with them too, but I am oddly addicted to them.
@Fadra- NICE TRY! π
@Rachel- you're not pathetic!
@Leah – I'll be sure to post pics of the Ugly Christmas sweater party!! I'm so excited!
@MOnika- haha. We don't split it. Casey really only posts once a week (generally on Saturdays).
I love the "brain dump" format…letting your post just flow from subject to subject. π I have tried very hard not to get hung up on stats. BUT that said, I have a Facebook Fan page I pimp like no tomorrow. FB might be a good place to connect with other bloggers…just a thought. π Look me up and I'll try to promote ya. Love your writing.
Loved your brain dump. I could keep up and not get distracted. π Blog stats and I don't get along. Love/hate/hate relationship!
I am obsessive about checking stats…it's very unhealthy! I enjoyed NaBloPoMo this month too but I'll also enjoy a few days off. π
Oh my goodness, so many words in 5 minutes. You put me to shame!
I'm interested in hearing about your lessons learned, and also about how you use google analytics. So, here's me following you!
Here from SOC Sunday. I'm doing NaBloPoMo too, and I'm glad the end is almost here. It's been fun, but lately, I'm at a loss for topics. Good luck with the house selling & hope to welcome you to NC soon!
