on the fourth

When you get home, make sure to walk by the bbq's and let me know if there are a lot of people out there. We can just go to mine.

Uhm, or we could grab a beer or two and sit outside to wait for a free bbq.

We could do that to.

Though you may have to talk to people.

No, not really.

The cons of living in apartment complexes.

wordless wednesday answer from yesterday

In case you visited yesterday, the answer to where I was in my Wordless Wednesday post is -


And surprisingly, I didn't buy anything. We stopped in because we had to use the restroom. (lol) Yes, I work in retail and I still go into establishments and only use the bathroom. But that is what happens when I drink a full glass of water, tea and other stuff at lunch, then try to walk around the shopping center. Whoops, no way to drive home like that. Friends don't let friends drive home with a full bladder. (or mom's don't let daughters . . . )

It was so pretty and clean and spacious, I felt the need to take pictures. (uhm, Sacks I mean, not the restroom) Which I am sure the workers there thought was oh so uncouth. As I too wonder sometimes what people are thinking when they are doing some randomly weird, unexplainable thing in my store.

I honestly, don't think I have ever bought something at Sacks. Have you? I felt so much like in Holly in Breakfast at Tiffany's where she just wants to have some token from the place of heaven. Well, maybe not heaven, but man, is that a cool looking store or what?

Wordless Wednesday - guess where I am?












Check back in with me tomorrow to see the picture of where I am.

bachelorette - just another opinion

The most amazingly drama filled, crap loaded episode ever!!

Really?

The wrestler, Rater R has a girlfriend? Who cares? Yes, he is an ass. There is bound to be at least a few asses on this show. Not to mention, he is on tv. He is a professional tv wrestler. He had a girlfriend. HOW did the show miss this? (pause) That's what I thought. All tv ratings.

The drama with Ali and Chris, a bit over the top.

Who is Jessie? And how the hell has Jessie incorporated into this? And Jessica - his girlfriend, made up pretty much like she is ready for tv interviews. Ugh. Just gross.

HOW can a tv show, based on tv cameras, not catch the gy sneaking off for a call to his girlfriend???

I do however, give Ali the HIGH FIVES for going after the truth and trying to get Justin to talk about it. But it's live tv. When you're caught, who wants to be seen as the liar? He was out of there as fast as his bum leg would carry him . . . through the bushes of the hotel. And I gotta say, I never get tired of hearing a guy stutter when their trying to cover up a lie. It's quite funny.

I find it funny that Craig R would say that if you've already been married, then you wouldn't want to jump right back in. Oh uhm, yes, if you figured out what happened; what went wrong and what you want - then as the quote goes, "The minute you find the person you want to spend the rest of your life with, you want your life to start right now!"

Olive Oil wresting in Turkey? Do you think they use EVOO? I don't really get the Craig thing. I don't see a love connection with him. He would be great friends with Ali, but love? I just don't see it. (oh wait, SPOILER ALERT, he was not given a rose)

Every woman should have one of those belly dancing outfits in their closet! Forget wearing it for some guy (sorry Saint I swear I didn't mean it), but I want one because they sound awesome and make your belly look flat and beautiful. Speaking of which, where is mine?? lol

Metablogging - to follow or not to follow

METABLOG WEEK 2010

In the beginning, I would find a blog and follow them simply because I liked their writing. Maybe I even only liked that one post that I read, but I always thought, if later, I didn't really relate to their writing then I would just unfollow.

Easy, thinking.

Like? Follow

No like? Unfollow

But the fact is, once I really got started following people I had so many people I couldn't possibly go through and read all their posts. And as a fellow blogger, I AM A SUPPORTER. If you blog and I like your blog, I want to support you. I want you to know that I am listening. Which means I comment on your blog. Especially when it reaches out and grabs me.

But if after many times of visiting your blog, I don't relate or the post doesn't make me comment, I feel the need to unfollow.

Is this wrong? To unfollow?

I wouldn't think so.

Then I get comments from people who ASK ME TO FOLLOW THEM and I gotta be honest, I think this is rude. I think it is assumptive. I think this feels like high school where if I am cool I will have a million followers.

Is that the goal? To just have followers?

I feel the goal is not to just have a side bar that has a million followers, but to find blogs that you care about and read them, then comment on them. If you read that blog constantly, follow it. Share it. Etc.

Yes it is oh so cool to read and comment on blogs like Dooce or Pioneer Woman, but by the time we really get to these maybe they are already a paying job. Not to say anything bad about that. There isn't. Heck that would be an awesome job. And I constantly read both those blogs. I even own Pioneer Woman's cookbook - it's signed - but I am looking to support my fellow bloggers who are out there letting their voice be heard too. But does that mean, I should go around the blogosphere and just click follow on every blog?

The point?

Please don't ask me to follow you.

If I am playing along with a follow me day, cool, follow me. But do you really need to ask me to follow?

If you love a blog, follow it.

If you love a post, comment on it.
