One of the blogs I follow posted some stats about her site and it got me to wondering.  Blogger provides stats for your site.  I found it interesting that even though I only have a few followers, I have viewers from all over the world.  Check out these stats.

Pets need checkups too.

Have to extend some cool credit to the DC Ladies for a great write-up this morning about the importance of vet appointments for your pets.  Here's an Except....  The entire article is here.

========================================

Annual Exams are important for pets too!

As we welcome in 2011 now is a good time to make sure your pets are up to date on vaccines and check when their next annual exam is due. Regardless of age all pets should see a veterinarian every year for an exam. At this appointment we will perform a complete physical exam that includes:

• Evaluating your pet’s teeth to look for dental disease
• Listening for a heart murmur which could indicate underlying heart disease
• Assessing weight and body condition
• Manipulating joints to check for arthritis

39 Days Until ... Are you Ready?

Are you thinking about Valentine's Day yet?

There are only 39 days until Valentine's Day. That seems like a long ways off but it'll be here before you know it. The Christmas decorations and wrapping are barely put away and already you've got to be thinking about that day. How will you celebrate it this year? This year I think that instead of self-sabotaging myself into a depression about being single and how this is really just a Hallmark holiday anyway, I think I'll do something creative. I'm thinking of making some gifts for my friends and family. I've been searching for heart patterns on Ravelry. I've found several that I like. I certainly would like some opinions on them.

That is if anyone is listening. Are you out there? Are you getting me?

Well, anyway, here are my choices so far.

Another Political Blog posted that he had input his info into a site and it told him what author he writes like. So, I decided to do the same thing. I wanted to see if it came up with anyone I knew. I did it with the content from three different posts I have written. Here's what the site told me.

I write like
Cory Doctorow

I have to confess I don't know who this is.

I write like
David Foster Wallace

I don't know him either but the name is familiar. May be I should Google him. Hmmm....

I write like
Dan Brown

Now him I know.

I wonder if it's a good or a bad thing that each post and each day I write with a different style. Is it important to develop a writing style?
