I'm not sure about you all but I am NOT a fan of the winter. It just stinks. Its cold, I eat a lot of food and feel hefty, I never see the sunshine, I get ghostly pale-- its just not a good look, you know what I mean? When I started this blog on August 18th I was all suntanned and bursting with some sunshiny happiness-- hence my zest for posting so often. As the months went on and the days got seemingly shorter and nighttime seemed to come at 5:30 I lost my zest. I cant pinpoint the exact moment but I feel like November did me in. Another thing that made it hard is that I often felt like I was endlessly talking to myself-- you feel crazy and a little bit silly, no joke! I have since decided that crazy and silly are good things and even if I talk to myself sometimes that's OK-- I kind of like me so it works out OK in the end.
So.. I just wanted to say that since my favorite groundhog predicted a early spring I have felt like tszujjing some things up. I know I have stunk at posting in the past few months but I am in it to win it people:-)
In light of my new found excitement I decided to share some stats on this little blog of mine. Ready? Here we go...
Pageviews by Month (in parenthesis is the number of posts I made each month)
(Keep in mind that even though I asked the stat thingy not to count my posts I think it has been... so half of these are probably me:))
August- 163 (13 posts published)
September- 512 (19 posts published)
October- 978 (20 posts published)
November- 566 (10 posts published)
December- 368 (4 posts published)
January- 312 (5 posts published)
Wow-- so sorry about November, December, and January-- eeash. I guess this proves the point that the more you post the more readers you will have. You are a trooper if you stuck with me through December and January- just saying.

So there you have it! Random bits of information that serves no real purpose-- do what you will with it. Here are some tidbits I'm going to take from this post... 1. I am going to be a better blogger- pinkie swear. 2. I should fold more fabric cause, well, you all seem to like it. 3. I should learn another language, cause I may have cursed someone out unintentionally up there.
Hope its a GREAT Friday for you all!

That's so funny that you posted this today. I just so happened to read a post on a different blog about being less productive in the winter: http://www.steadymom.com/2011/02/dont-even-try-to-be-productive.html
ReplyDeleteWell its nice to know I am not the only one! I think the 50 degree weather that we have coming this weekend was enough to snap me out of it!
