Let’s Talk About Stats Baby!

Okay, hands up, who reads my posts? Come on all five of you, don’t be shy, shout it loud and proud. I have always wondered who exactly my readers are. I don’t have many followers, I don’t get many comments on posts, but when I check my stats they show that actually many people have, …

Hitting Refresh

It has been waaaay too long since I last blogged, and here’s why: 1: I really haven’t felt like I have much to write about, and I just don’t do that whole ‘writing for the sake of writing’ stuff. It would bore you to death. 2: School is out, my delicious munchkins are home, and when …

A Fresh Start (again)

After my Summer of Germs, I thought it would be easy to make a fresh start and get back into work. I was wrong. Life has been throwing rotten bananas at me for a couple of months, and despite dodging a few of them (and using them to make banana bread), most of them have …
