Look what someone typed into a search engine today:
“like I have time for this regularmom”
That’s the second or third time I’ve seen that kind of search come up. I feel a bit famous. Or should I say notorious?
Big smiles and waves to you, whoever you are. You perked up my morning nicely. And it needed some perking, let me tell you.
This morning, I discovered that I did not insert my vaccuum cleaner bag into the vaccuum properly the last time I changed out the bag, and all the dust and grit I’ve been vaccuuming up for the past month had spilled out into the cavity. I discovered this right after I vaccuumed up a lot of spiders and dead beetles and stray cat litter in the mud room this morning. I smelled this awful burning smell and turned off the machine and opened it up and discovered the mess. Then I had to put on heavy gloves and clean out the vaccuum. Not fun.
So, there you have it. Perhaps I’ll rethink that “Household Cleaning Tips from RegularMom” column I’d been planning.
And while all this was going on, my 6-year-old dragged her math out twice as long as it needs to take. Ah, summer schooling.
So, thanks again. I needed that.
I’m still getting the odd search now and then for Cletoris.
And someone found my blog last week by typing in “Harry Potter Hermione (word deleted here that means derriere) sex.
Now what really gets me is that only two words of that were on my blog at all… Harry Potter.
Yet someone surfed on in, stayed about 8 minutes, and exited after reading about the flowers in my back yard.
Go figure.
Ami: LOL! And yes, I really was LOL! And while I was LOL reading this comment, I was also on the phone with RegularDad, advising him that it was just too damn hot to cook chicken in this house so he’d be grilling this evening. He started singing a song with made-up-on-the-spot lyrics about grilling chicken, and then he thought I was laughing at his song, but I was really laughing at this comment. He was sad when he realized I wasn’t laughing at his song, but he’s really looking forward to getting home and reading this.
Ami, my heart goes out to you. I consider myself lucky that I don’t have that particular problem. At least not yet. I still do get alarmingly frequent search strings regarding sulfur-smelling poop, though. Ah, memories of the broken well-pump.
What is the “search engine” of which you all speak? And how do you have any idea how folks get to your wonderful sites? Do you mean you google your names? But then how do you know about other folks. This is so mysterious to me.
On my WordPress dashboard, there’s a place where I can see what people typed into Google and then came to my blog. I’m pretty sure Blogger’s got the same feature because Ami’s got that Cletus-typo problem.
Ami, or anyone on Blogger…do you have this feature?
I have stat counter. It tells me quite a bit about those who visit my blog, but of course I can’t tell if they’re naked, prefer boxers or briefs, or if they smell like garlic. Other than that, I know a lot about them.
OK, so it very well may have been me. We were on vacation, and I was bored in the hotel, but I didn’t have my computer with it’s handy bookmarks, so I used my husband’s laptop and searched for your blog! What can I say- blogs have replaced soap operas for me. With a family business, a 6 year old I’m homeschooling, and a 2 year old terror, I don’t have time for soaps anymore. Thanks for the entertainment. It’s nice to know there are other mom’s out there struggling with the same stuff I am. Gee, now I’m paranoid. I hope you can’t see how long it took me to write a coherant comment!!
Hey, I know how weird it is to realize that people can sort of see what you’re searching for. Something similar happened to me earlier this year over at Doc’s blog, Into the Sunrise. Only she was sort of yelling at me. But then she apologized later and told me she liked my blog, so it all turned out okay. Another happy ending.
But you really should know that it made me happy to see your search, so that’s good.
I like the idea of blogs replacing soap operas. This is an apt description in so many ways. Maybe we could start a soap-opera-homeschooling blog and call it: As The Curriculum Moulders.
Anyway…hope you had a great vacation.
