Intrepid Murmurings

Search String Fun
So I know I have been a lame-o with my lack of posting lately. I promise to try very hard this week. I do write a thousand blog entries in my head most days but exhaust myself before they ever make it to the page. Very poor habit, I know, I am working on it. And though I do have some interesting future entries in mind with actual content, I am going to pull out the old "how have people been finding my site lately" trick. Because I am always humored by it. Here are a few: "trucker" "trucker photo" "truckerparty" — These were some of the first searches that appeared when I started checking the stats early on. By the looks of the other results of these searches, I think you were probably looking for something a lot sketchier than pictures of us and our friends wearing funny hats and drinking beer (while fully clothed). Sorry to disappoint. "a ritual to read to each other william stafford" — Yes, that is one of my favorite poems, though its not up here yet! Perhaps I will post it soon. I wrote my "comps" (college thesis) on him, and have taken a writing workshop from his son, Kim. My grad school classrooms were just steps away from the Northwest Writing Institute, where both had/have taught for many years. Great writers...I love them both. "powered by gallery broken arm" — Okay, this is a strange one. Sadly, we understand "broken arm" all too well. It sucks, by the way, for all involved, including the breakee (my husband, whom it obviously was the worst for), the breaker (who had to forego walks for a LONGGGG time), and the narcotics dispenser elevation specialist hair washer dressing assistant cook maid caretaker (that would be moi!). But the "powered by gallery" part I don't really get... "beautiful bridesmaids photos" — They were beautiful, weren't they! My bridesmaids were divine. Thinking back, I do feel really bad that I made them wear those dresses though...what was I thinking? The test of true friendship...to buy and squeeze into an expensive dress that you would never have chosen on your own, and will never wear again. Ugh. Sorry ladies. "neskowin beach" — A lovely place on the Oregon Coast. Go visit, its fabulous (just don't expect to swim, unless you are a seal or a whale). "encaustic workshop" — I have done this search myself many times, without much success. They are damn hard to find, it seems! I took one at Sitka, and it was great (but they are not offering any this year). It was done in connection with R & F, which offers quite a few of them (though they are spendy...yipes!). "blog assvice and adopting from china" — Ha. My favorite so far! I am at your service in the assvice business....though I don't have too much info on China. Check out here or here (among many others) for that. Good luck with your adoption! "drinking beer + clomid" — Oooh, this one just came in today and I had to add it. Ha! Yes, been there, done that! Many times! I was on Clomid for almost a year, for crise sakes! A nice cold one may temporarily ease the insanity that goes along with Clomid (that or it'll backfire and make 'ya cry even more!). Generally, I tended to not drink after ovulation, though (please note I am NOT a Dr. All medical advice given is purely assvice...pulled out of my ASS or from Google U.) If you think you are pregnant, definitely chill out on the beer drinking. Or the Jack Daniels, in my case.
