Lexus is a Girly Car

There are a few of my past blog posts that consistently get a lot of traffic, like Calling All Male Drivers of a Lexus SUV  and I Have Obsessive-Compulsive Facebook Disorder.


These posts get hundreds of visitors weekly, which is odd to me since they aren't that interesting and I wrote them a year ago.

So, I did some fishing around on the "stats" tab in blogspot (my blog host), and discovered that a lot of the traffic to these posts come from Google search terms like "Lexus is a girly car," "Facebook is obsessive," "Do men drive Lexus RX300s?" and "compulsive Facebooking."

How funny that my husband's identity complex about having to drive my kid-tested, mother approved eight-year-old Lexus SUV is universal.

Incidentally, I also learned that I have a bit of a following in the Netherlands, for totally unexplained reasons.

MyBigPrettyWorld

If you're wondering where I've been and how I've been spending all that spare time I have on my hands, I've been helping my daughter with the launch of her very own blog, mybigprettyworld.blogspot.com.


I think she might be better at this blogging stuff than me. Two posts in her first two days, and her content is interesting and engaging. 

I, for one, had no idea that the Queen of England was on Facebook.

Top ten list of nutty things my son has said to me in the past two weeks

10. This dinner tastes like choke. (His word for throw up. Yes, it was a home cooked meal.)

9. When I grow up I want to be Alvin and the chipmunks, the sqeakwell.

8. Does "challenge" mean the same thing as "not wearing a skirt"? That's what Abby told me.

7. Did you know there is a contest coming up between ducks and beavers and it's going to be on TV?

6. Your back is bouncy.

5. You are not the boss of this entire family. Daddy is sometimes also the boss.

4. Squirrels are the cleverest.

3. How did Clifford get so big?

2. If you sing while a carrot is growing it will grow faster.

1. Does the water from the toilet upstairs drip down to couple up with the water in the toilet downstairs?
