I am not really a stat watcher, but I must say that stats are encouraging.
I remember when this blog hit it’s 1000 reader mark. I thought wow, 1000 people have actually visited this site, cool.
Then this blog hit it’s 10,000 reader mark and that’s when the stats became a little more important fun to watch. For no other reason than just marking the different milestones that happen while enjoying the awesome yet strange encouragement it gives a blogger.
Next came the one year anniversary milestone (which I completely missed) and then the 200 post milestone. Both these milestones were met under the impression that they may never be met. I really did not think I would be around this long, let alone enjoy this phenom called blogging. Yet somehow these milestones happened, just like they happen to every blogger, and the encouragement continued.
Now imagine this milestone: 1,000,000 visitors.
Can you?
Imagine your blog hitting this HUGE milestone? I hope to one day!
It really is a wonderful accomplishment when a blog reaches 1 million hits, doesn’t sell you a thing, is upbeat and humorous to boot.
Today, my Fraccy friend can actually celebrate this A-M-A-Z-I-N-G milestone.
Congrats Fracas, may you see a million more!
Go check her out, she really is funny.
Till Next Time…..
And don’t forget to

There comes a time
In everyone’s life
That somehow you must
Gain the courage to let go
Let go and move on
Let go and let live
Let go so that the universe
Will open new doors and windows
To the dreams of your heart

It’s not always easy
Nor fun to do
But you know you must
To bring out the best in you
So as you say good bye
To the old and hello to the new
Just remember
You passed through my life and
Touched my heart, but that
It’s harder for me than it is for you
In a short, very short time
It will all be nothing but a memory

There are days when you just feel nutty…. the ones that make you feel squirrel-ly, anxious, happy, loose and care free mixed with a little postal.
They make you feel like this :
Yesterday was like that for me. It was one of those days that I wanted to blow it all up, get rid of it completely, blast it to kingdom come and hope that it would still work out right.
And if not for the Canadian handgun laws… let’s just say I am glad we have laws …
What was it that set me off you ask?
Well you all know that I want a Mac and yesterday proved it to me more and more. Suddenly….
The PC just began to go postal on me and for no apparent reason.
OK maybe there is a reason, it’s called upgrade time!!Now we all know that things like this do happen, they happen because you did something you were not supposed to, something you thought was a good thing only to turn out to be an oh-so-bad thing that took you hours to try and fix. In fact it wasn’t until early today when I was able to get things back and running again… Dear God of Macs…I wanna MacBookAir… puleease…
…. but mostly, there are days when you feel like this:
Nuff said. Oh and don’t forget to backup!!
