Girl with Blog

Today is the one year anniversary of starting my blog! In the past year there have been 3285 visitors from all over the world. I enjoy seeing who visits and what blog entries grab the attention of different readers. In the previous year, Michael and I traveled to Hawaii, planned our wedding, lost a furry baby, gained a furry baby, got married, went to Mexico, and now we are expecting a son. All documented through the blog. I hope you have enjoyed reading the adventures as much as I have enjoyed writing about them. What started out as a project to help keep my family and friends in Vermont updated on the events of my life has actually turned out to be a fun hobby. I look forward to chronicling the next year as two newlyweds turn into a family.

3000

When I checked the blog counter early this morning before work, I had 2999 visitors. Some time today while I was at work, the site had its 3000th visitor. And even if you figure my Mom may check the blog every day, that's still 2635 other hits from people who thought I might have something interesting to say too. And next month will be the one year anniversary of the blog.

Pete's Blog

My friend, and co-worker, Pete shared with me his blog address tonight as we were winding down at work. I won't post his blog address here, unless he expressly gives me permission to do so, but I did want to share a few things from his blog that made me laugh and ponder tonight.

Pete is a member of a senior blog. I am feeling funny by the fact that I chat openly with a peer that is old enough to be a member of a blog for "people with experience." That's the nice, politically correct verbiage they have on the blog community. I had to sit and think a bit to realize that yes, he may be old enough to be on an "experienced" blog site. It made me wonder if he has an AARP card?! I was just talking with Pete about pop culture (music and TV) and now I find out he moonlights on a senior blog. Does this make me old too, or am I just really good at relating to older people?

Pete's blog is full of his regular whit and humor. And Pete likes to ask questions that make one have to ponder. This is my new favorite pondering question that I found on his blog: "If a man is alone in the woods and there is no woman around... and then expresses an opinion, is he still wrong?"

Of course the man is still wrong! And he is probably alone in the woods in the first place because he is lost and was too stubborn to stop and ask for directions.

My First Blog

All of the interesting girls from the knitting group have their own blogs. So as not to be out done, I am going to start my own blog. (They are not your Grandma's knitters!) Hopefully, I will have enough of my own interesting tidbits and comments to keep a loyal following.
