It’s that time of year again…

For boring, technical reasons, I only have website search terms for the last three months. However, here’s what my statistics program says people are using to find this site:

im dreaming of a white christmas

I’m not! That’s why I moved to Heat and Humidity Central!

exhibitionist blog (and similar terms, like exhibitionist grandmothers)

I know what entry generated this search term, and I am pretty sure there are a lot of disappointed nude browsers out there.

halt near x

Amazingly, if you search for the name of my blog, you will find my blog. How cool are search engines these days?!

horse show ribbon quilts and show ribbon quilts (and other variations)

A perennial favorite.

I suspect that if I knew what that meant, I’d probably have to kill someone.

buying a green horse

Hey - after all my agonizing about it, I went and bought a green horse! I think that disqualifies me from giving anyone else advice on the subject.

some disturbingly accurate stalkerish terms

You’re weird and creepy. Go away.

song lyrics let me taste your applesauce

You should meet up with my stalker searchers. I think you’d get along great.

easier than making a quilt

I want to know the thought process there. How do you decide you are interested in activities that are easier than making a quilt vs. activities that are, say, easier than making ice cream sundaes? Or making jet planes? Or making the bed?

aphorisms about the past

I suspect this was not the blog you were looking for.

Actually, I suspect this was not the blog anyone was looking for, since (aside from the weird stalker search terms), non-horse-related search terms far outnumber horse-related search terms. Or else I have been more off-topic than usual lately.

Other random search terms people have been using:

  • the importance for clarification and misunderstanding
  • clarification blog
  • molasses covered alfalfa called
  • im not normally a
  • clarification importance

Someone is obviously searching for clarification. And they keep ending up here. I’m not sure if I should laugh or cry.

And, of course, New Year’s Resolutions are coming up. I’m going to circumvent that and just say two things:

  1. This year I almost met a resolution from a couple years ago, when I said I wanted to go to a horse auction. I did go to the auction, but the tack portion went on for so long, and was so boring, that we left before the horses were run through. Thus, I never actually met that resolution. Given how very far behind I am already, it seems kind of pointless to make new resolutions.
  2. I was chastised at my family holiday party for not checking in on the weight loss competition this winter, and then I was browbeat into agreeing to participate in the January - Easter competition. I’m not sure if that qualifies as a resolution or not, since it’s participate or be cast out of the family, but that’s all I’ve got this year. I will lose 15 pounds by Easter. Or… else. I don’t know what follows the “else.” I’m not sure I want to know.

I was looking at my stats too. Very funny although I am not attracting people looking for clarification.  I do have a regular reader from Coatia.  Really?  On purpose?
Fun to look at, I assume most of them are lost.

Quilting! I love quilting! There are quite a few similarities to quilting and dressage.

Both are very technical hobbies, perfect attention to corners, and stitches that have to bend but not break. Color (Music) transitions are sooo important too or the whole piece is lost and has a feeling of disjointment.

Have you ever been to a quilt show? If so, you would hear similar ‘Dressage’ commentary from observers - “Perfect corners; wish my corners come out like That!”...“What wonderful color transitions!”...“Look at those beautiful lines! Especially that line right there - not that one - that one!”...“Can you imagine the time it took do learn how to do That!”

And of couse, “If I had the money to spend on THAT machine, I could have had the same results!”

Hilarious.
“I’m not normally a…”
What?!?  Finish the sentence!  I’d be browbeating my searchers.
My weirdest ones are in Russian.  For unknown reasons, I get a lot of Russian spam.  Now you’ve inspired me to go look at my stats page.
