Just a little advice...

While I am probably not one to be giving out blogging advice, I figured I would share some things I have learned along the way.

Write like you are talking to your friends.
Unless you don't have friends and in that case well I don't know how to help you there.

Pictures. People like pictures.

Ain't nobody got time for solving the Rubix Cube before being able to leave a comment. Take that word verification off.

Read other blogs.  I really don't know how I still have any readers as much as I have neglected this blog the past year but what I do know is reading other blogs is what brings the readers to your yard. If you aren't willing to read other blogs why would we want to read yours?

Respond to comments.  What? like it's hard? While some may not agree I just think it's polite.  They took the time to leave a comment take the time to reply.

That's about all I have for today.

I'm a Jerk.

It's true. I'm a jerk.  

I missed my own Blogiversary.

(G and I  waaayyyy back in the day.)

Back in the day (one year ago), which happened to be a Wednesday, March 21st my sister G and I started occupying this space on the interwebz, just writing about random things in life.  This was when G actually carried her weight and I didn't have to kick her off my blog to start her own.  

What do you know a year later I am still here.  Who says I can't commit to anything?

A year ago I had zero followers, I didn't know anyone with a blog or even really how it worked, my mom wasn't even following me. 

I hate to be that person that says "people told me to start a blog so I did"  because then you are thinking "oh girl shut up no one said for you to start a blog", but a few did so I thought about it for a long time and when I graduated college, had no life and didn't have shat else to do it happened and I am so glad I did. 

I love this little blog and have met so many great people through blogging.  I have learned so much over the past year, yet I still feel like a new blogger most of the time.  

I guess I can now consider myself a blogger. Right?  Should I have like business cards or something made? Quit my job to blog?

After all I do have a fancy camera.  (So what if I have never used it to take pictures for the blog.)

I own several bauble necklaces and a chevron dress.

I love Target. (I still have never one a giftcard through a giveaway though.)

I finally bought a MacBook.

Don't all those things make me an official blogger now?

Except for one little thing....the Mormon's still haven't contacted me about being inducted into the secret blogging circle.  I'm sure they just got my URL wrong or my email wasn't linked correctly.

Most of all though Thank You to all my readers without you I would just be talking to myself all the time.  Maybe that is still kinda true, but never mind.   

If you have never commented do so and leave me your blog URL I would love to visit. :)
