Have I mentioned how I love being back on WordPress?
One of my favorite features is the Dashboard that tells you everything about your blog you’d want to know in one snapshot. I’ve always gotten a kick out of reading search terms people used to my site but I rarely ever looked at them on my old stat program. Imagine my mild amusement when I saw that people found my blog by these googles:
1. My mom is a loser. Boys, have y’all been sneaking on the computer again?
2. Grumpy Greek Men. I’ve got some grumpy. I’ve got some men. But Greek? Notsomuch. However, Luke loves rolled grape leaves and baklava. Does that count?
3. Preacher who can raise his wife from the dead. Have y’all seen the part of Fireproof when Kirk’s wife is sick and he goes to Chic Fil A, brings her something to eat and loves on her until she’s better? That scene made me bawl because it’s totally something Luke would do and has done. Thankfully though I’ve never given him opportunity to practice his resurrection skillz. He’s good, but he’s not that good.
What are some of the weird ways people have found your blog?
One more little update: I saw the header of my new blog design and it’s great. I’m so excited about relaunching this site to hopefully a whole new level of fun! In keeping with the last google search, sometimes you have to flat out kill something to raise it.
I think I’ve accomplished the killing part.

Well, the week before FATHER’S Day, someone from the UK Googled “Chuck Colson prisoners Mothers Day Cards” and landed on my blog (because of a book I reviewed). LOL
Can’t wait to see the new header!

I’ve had some crazy search terms.
Today, ticklish exam.
My sixteen-year-old recently had her first visit to, ahem, “that” doc.
She’s very ticklish. Let’s just say it was interesting. And then I blogged about it.
And she just might be looking for a new mom.

I have been a lurker here and I just want to say thank you for being a preacher’s wife with a sense of humor! And I just read your blog about your almost 5 hour nap and as a preacher’s wife at a small country church with 3 kids under 6 it gives me so much hope I could jump up and down!!!
Anyway, I have just recently discovered the ability to see what people have been searching on my blog. It cracks me up! My top searches have been Martha Stewart, DumpTruck Cake, and Everything Scandalous. I can only imagine what people think when they get to my blog looking for Martha Stewart, cakes or scandal!!!!

one of my fav forms of cheap entertainment is looking at search strings on my blog. And I just had to go look and give you the updated crazy stuff that shows up:
Latest “please forgive me Travis Cottrell” have no idea ..
Big Teased Hair (and several other big hair searches) and yes, girls I LOVE me some big ole teased up hair. The higher the hair, the closer to God, right? I love it, but my two daughters will only allow so much of the big to happen on my head…. ahh, but if I could.
Cute fat dresses … I’ll just leave that one alone and the follow up
Does the maxi dress make me look fat….. oh wait, that was my search.
Great post and love the new site
