The fact that someone typed this into Google and it brought them to my blog makes me so incredibly happy. I’m not sure if it’s someone that knows me or a complete stranger, but either way it seems crazy to me that someone actually searched for this blog. I usually only draw in the “rope burn” crowd. I wish I had some good advice on rope burn treatment for you guys. Here’s one tip: you probably shouldn’t put lemon juice on rope burn, that seems like it would hurt.

A sure fire way for me to put a smile on my face is to look at recent Google searches that resulted in a visit to my blog. Today this is what I see for top 10 searches:

Irene spit in my face

This is a super super suuuuuuuuuuuper delayed story on hurricane Irene. I haven’t worked on a blog post in quite a while – my life has been completely consumed by work, the flu, doctor appointments, surgeon appointments (remember my disdain for my shins – they must have read this story and are now punishing me), and just a general lack of wanting to do anything because I’ve allowed all the little (and big) annoyances in my life affect me too much. They say that the best way to combat being unhappy is to put a smile on your face, so I’m going to put a smile of my blog face…that’s me trying to say that I’m posting a story! I’m not so good with the words all the time.

When hurricane Irene passed through VA, I made an afternoon of cuddling up inside with movies and blankets…and standing on my balcony filming Irene’s fury.

At first I thought we could be friends.

But Irene had other things in mind.

She sprayed her rain spit all over my face and pulled a piece of my apartment complex off.

I don’t like Irene.

I happened to be filming the exact moment Irene decided my apartment complex had too much metal on it and thought she’d help out by tearing it off and throwing it to the ground.
