If you scroll ALL the way to the bottom of this page, you will see a number hovering around 20,000. That is the number of times people have wandered on over to my blog. That number alone is amazing to me -- don't you people have anything better to do? I know; I do, too -- yet I continue to scope out all of my blogs!
My little "number spot" tells me the website that referred a visitor to my blog, and my favorite are the searches that people do on the internet (and the post on my blog that it brings them to!)
I'm beginning to think "It's Friday, But Sunday's Coming" is the number one quote googled on the internet. It is, undoubtedly, the most frequent search that lands people at my blog. It is a precious phrase emphasised in a speech by Tony Campolo. (Ironically, when _I_ google for the phrase, my blog is no where to be seen!)
This post brings all sorts of people looking for cults of all names and sorts. And, poor Tom Rukala, is also a frequent google-subject. I suspect he is somewhere trying to re-claim anonymity these days.
I have a few people actually google for "Sarah Stirman", but I suspect a few of those are some of my forgetful friends who can't ever remember how to get here (naming no names, of course).
Recently someone was looking for Blue Bell Bombsticks. That kind of cracks me up. If you aren't looking at the Blue Bell site, what exactly do you want to know about them? How much I enjoyed that one? Because I REALLY enjoyed it. A lot!
And, my happy little number-counter thingy showed me that joyfuljourney at The Jackson Journey has me listed as "Someone I Would Like to Meet." Isn't that nice? And bless her heart! :-) AND I have high billing -- right up there next to BooMama! I am trying to think of some star to compare that to being listed next to, but I am so out of the loop I can't even think of someone from MY day, much less today. Just know, it is BIG doin's to me! And, joyful -- you're not too far away. We could actually make that happen sometime. I'll bring along my friends Denise and Tammy in case you are really an ax murderer with a really precious family picture on your profile! :-) We could have our own little West Texas blog-a-bration! Rumor has it there will be a BlogFest in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area at the end of October. Maybe we should go. Gasoline may still be under $5/ gallon by then!
