What I wish he’d understand . . .
Bill is an expert on all thing electric (you know, on things like ceiling lighting), but he doesn’t understand the blogging thing. It just irritates me that he doesn’t listen to what I am saying. He doesn’t understand paid links, contextual links, google pagerank, alexa rank, etc. When I told him that I average 200 visitors a day (give or take), he got all upset that 200 people he doesn’t know are reading about our lives. (If I would have thought quick enough, I should have said that he should be proud that 200 people a day care about our lives). I questioned putting my kids pictures on here. I did a ton of thought on it. However, the purpose of this blog originally was to keep my friends and family in Green Bay in the loop to what is going on in our lives. At this point, I don’t know if I could even extract all of that information off of here. It is what makes this blog tick. He doesn’t get that none of you (unless I ask) are going to show up on our doorstep. My question goes out to you — how to you explain blogging to people? How do you explain the hows and the whys?

What are you thankful for?
My Google slap has made me realize that there are many more important things in my life than Google PageRank. Seriously, there is. Yes, 4 to a 0 hurt. However, I have made a list of all the other things I am grateful for:
- My family. I have a husband and kids who really don’t care that my blog is a PR0 now. They care that I am their mom and their wife. They care that I take part in the day to day things in their life. They care that I tuck them into bed at night. They may drive me nuts at times, but I don’t know where I would be without them.
- My extended family. Both Bill and I have huge extended families. It is a good feeling to know that if we need help or a hand that there are so many people there to help us.
- Advertisers who still have contacted me to do work. Thank you for understanding that the PR isn’t everything.
- That I am half done Christmas shopping. I hate Christmas shopping after Thanksgiving, so I am always happy when I am half done.
- My online friends. I have a community of people who care about me that I have never met (some I have now thanks to Blogworld and Postiecon!). I never realized people who you’ve never met could care so much (for example, when I was pregnant with Will, I took a 3 day break from forum checking and blogging and Julie was worried I had Will already!). I also have online friends that I have met and some I haven’t that I have also worried about like that too.
- My health. I have not had any major problems. My kids are in good health too.
- That we have enough money to get through the winter and Christmas. I know there are a lot of people who worry about this. We are okay this year, and it is a good feeling.
I know I will be adding onto this list, but this is a good start for what I am thankful for!
