Dear fellow blog land lovers and stalkers,
I feel like we need to have a heart to heart. After Mrs. Newlywed posted about the hilarious search terms people use to find her site on Google, it got me intrigued. So I signed up for a Google Analytics account to start tracking keywords, visitors, popular posts, etc. Sadly, all of my search terms are BORING and completely obvious. BUT, according to Analytics, on the average day I have more “unique” visitors reading my blog than I ever imagined. Please come out of hiding. If you have a blog I would love to read it!! I am planning on cleaning up my blog roll this weekend, so if you would like to be included on it please leave me a comment or shoot me an email and I would be thrilled to add you!
Much Blog Love,
Mojito Maven
2. Thanks for all of the suggestions about potential Halloween costumes on yesterday’s post. Unfortunately, Mr. Mojito thinks we could actually win best costume if we went as ketchup and mustard. Being the witty girl I am I quickly snapped back with, “LUCKILY a ketchup and mustard costume does not actually exist.” It appears that not only do I have to eat my own words, but now I may actually have to go as a food condiment for Halloween (let it be known that I will be ketchup).
The always fashionable LyndsAU was kind enough to email me these photos this morning. I quickly forwarded her email to Mr. Mojito (why did I do this? I HAVE NO IDEA…I guess I thought it was funny at the time). Now, he is ALL about this idea….awesome. Do not fret, I will post photos.
3. Southern Accent was wonderful enough to give me the Smile Award!! Thank you so much. AND, Lindsey at Learning to be a Wife also gave me the “Blogging Friends Forever Gold Card” award. I had no idea this award even existed, but I really like it…thank you both so much!
The rules attached to the “Blogging Friends Forever Gold Card” are:
1. You may only choose five people/blogs to give the award to.
2. Four have to be dedicated followers of your blog.
3. One has to be a new follower of your blog or live in another part of the world.
Once again, I am going to try and give these awards to some bloggers who may not have received them already:
1. A Glimpse of the Girl Next Door
2. Naturally Caffeinated Family
3. The wife
4. Monogramchick
5. L Squared…She is my newest follower! Thank you!
I know I am cheating, but I also have to give the “Blogging Friends Forever Gold Card” to Erin at Blue-Eyed Bride because well..what can I say? I LOVE this girl.

Ha! Too funny…I definitely think that you might have lost the battle on this one!
Oh God! I would kill my husband!
Congrats on your awards – aren’t awards so fun?!?!
Those costumes are really cute! I signed up for Google Analytics a few weeks ago as well, it’s very entertaining!
Hahahahahaha…you are going to be so hot! I can’t wait. LOL.
The ketchup and mustard thing is cute!
Please add me to your blogroll!! Ha ha
Hello! I love the post, and I know what you mean about getting more traffic than you expect! I added you to my blog roll because I love your blog I would love the add! Good idea to call out all the lurkers.
Congrats on the great awards!
. I’ll be better about saying “hey”!
Thank you so much for the sweet award–I love your blog and although I don’t comment every day I am one of those you are seeing on your analytics
I think y’all will be an adorable ketchup and mustard…who gets to be which?
ketchup and mustard… arent you two going to be quite the pair!
I agree! I think ketchup and mustard would be awesome! Oh and blondes look good in anything!
Check out my blog!
Hilarious!! Can’t wait to see pictures!!!
I couldn’t believe on average how many people that come to my page vs. how many comments.. I get. Unreal. If I stop at a blog.. I leave a comment.. : )
I can’t wait to see your Halloween pictures.. You guys are gonna be cute..
Google Analytics? Sounds neat. I’ll have to check it out. I’m so behind the times!
Oh dear God. I’d be going for Mustard! Red just isn’t a good color for me…and plus, I’m 99% sure there is fantastic pair of J.Crew peep toes with bows that would match the yellow nicely…and if you’re wearing a cone on your head, your shoes had better be cute!
Can’t wait to see the party photos!
Hey, ketchup and mustard is kind of cute. Blog stalkers really are out there, arent they? I just checked my stat counter the other day and was like, “What?” Who are all those people?!
Isn’t Google Analytics such fun!?
I got your comment from yesterday and it took me a moment to understand the White Rock reference because I had only mentioned running Little Rock… in Arkansas. But then I figured out you meant the White Rock marathon so I chekced it out. It looks pretty cool, too. I might have to add it to the schedule sometime, and YES, we’d totally have to hang out.
Thank you so much!! I love keeping up with your blog! You are so cute and fun! Oh I can’t wait to see the costume pics, haha!
I love seeing how people got to my site, too. I get the strangest things, man. Whoo hoo for bloggy friends!
First, I need a lesson on google analytics. Have you picked up on how UN-savvy I am when it comes to technology?!
Second, the costumes are going to be FANTASTIC! I can’t wait for pictures!
Third, thank you for the awards! They are my first!!
Enjoy your blog!
Thank you honey =)
I have never gotten a blog award, that made my day!
And you will be the cutest damn ketchup and mustard I’ve ever seen!
