a request..

So I have a simple request from you, and in return, I will do it for you also. 

Over the past few weeks I have been watching who comes to my blog. It simply makes my day when I see all the people that come and go. I love it!! But, I do feel kind of.. um.. out of if?? Under the radar?? Clueless?? Rude??.. I really don't know what word I am looking for is.. Other than I would love to know who you are (my status reader only tells me the town and state you are in)! You know all about me but I want to know about you too! That is one of the greatest things I love about blogs, is connecting with people.

All I am asking is that if you read my blog often, will you please admit to it?? Will you please say you follow this publicly, so it will tell me your sweet name?

It would TOTALLY make my day to see that more then 21 people follow this! Even if you don't have a blog of your own, you can still push the "follow" button at the top OR you can scroll towards the bottom where you see my "Followers" and click that too! THEN, once you do that I will know who you are AND I will be able visit and follow your blog if you have one! How much fun will that be??

I really don't think you understand how happy it makes me to know that people actually care about what all I have to say! I love all your comments too!! You guys make my day, and I just want to sincerely thank you for that!! 

I hope your Wednesday was spectacular!! 

Blog Inbox

Let me just say this.. I love reading all your blogs, I really do. BUT it is a lot of clicking from my blog to yours, back to my blog to someone else, back to mine.. so on and so forth, until I have caught up with all your latest activities. Not to mention, sometimes I notice on Twitter or Facebook that you guys tell me you updated your blog, so I go to mine and it tells me it is still on your previous post. Therefore, it results in me not being the faithful, up to date blog follower of yours that I want to be. In addition, this delay hold up really messes with my OCDness that I fight with constantly throughout the day.

Until yesterday. Goodness gracious!! Maybe I have been living under a rock or something, but had no idea Google Reader existed. -- OK, that is a white lie.. I did.. I just didn't know how to work it. After a very helpful blog post by Mrs. Jones.. my google reader was up and running, and the obsession level is out of control. I love it. It is the most organized way to stay caught up with all the blogs I follow. Its like a blog inbox.. It reminds me very much of GMail and is literally, fabulous. I'm addicted.

If you read as many blogs a day as I do.. please, save your pointer finger and/or your mouse and do some looking into Google Reader. You can thank me later!

Happy Sunday!!!

Book worm

Its pretty exciting that snow is on the ground. Not so exciting that the temperatures outside make me want to scream! And makes me kind of wonder if these temperatures are really going to get as low and terribly freezing as they say over the next few days.. High 12, low -5 on Thursday.. HA.. excuse me??

So in the midst of preparing for this blizzard (Lord, please don't let us have another ice storm, we were just about to celebrate it being a year!) I did some wondering around the book store yesterday. This past year I can honestly say I have never done so much reading in my entire life! Its like I couldn't get enough of it! Call it old age, call it growing up, call it being bored.. whatever you want to call it, I love it! For instance, I sat down Sunday (as it was starting to snow) and thought I would read a few chapters of Dear John by Nicholas Sparks.. 200 pages and a book completion later! Needless to say, making a run for a few more good books was a must.

My Aunt reads a lot. And when I say a lot, I mean like several books a month. She HIGHLY recommended "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett. She said it is the best book she has read in a few years. Sign me up!! I also grabbed the "The Lucky One," which is the only Nicholas Sparks book I haven't read. Highly recommend that man. Love him!

So yeah, I think I am good to go. Bring on the snow! I'll let you know how these two selections turn out.

Have a fabulous day!

And thank you so so much for all your sweet comments! It makes my day when you guys say the things you do! It defiantly makes me smile so big!
