I'm a numbers girl, so it gets me a little giddy when I see that I have exactly 100 followers (through Google friend connect, that is) and my counter is sitting at 149,999 hits.And YES, I am fully aware that I am a geek.
It amazes me that I felt like my goal of getting 100,000 hits by September, 2011 (the 101st goal on my 101 in 1001 list) was so far fetched, yet as soon as I view this published post, I'll probably be the 150,000th hit.
Update: In fact, I WAS the 150,000th hit and (of course) I just had to take a picture.
I wish I could fly out and hug each and every one of you to THANK YOU for reading my nonsense every day. Especially my follower(s) in Australia. And Switzerland. And New Zealand and the UK. And the Northern Mariana Islands sounds just lovely. And of course I'd love to visit my oldest friend in The Netherlands. And my new reader in Kenya. (Yes, I see you out there! I even peeked at your blog and you are an inspiration...washing your clothes by hand? I have a whole new perspective and hope I never complain about laundry again.)
Anyway, to all of you dear readers, near and far...THANK YOU!
XOXOX
PS - I've had several people request that I add an option on my blog to have my posts emailed to them directly and I have NO idea how to do that. Is anyone out there a technical genius who wants to offer to walk me through how to add that little widget???

Hi Clare,
I DO have a button! It's on the right side under "share" with html code underneath. Thanks for sharing the love!!!
:)
Congratulations! I always enjoy my visits here - what you have to share is always so genuine, approachable, and down to earth. Keep up the good work! :)
Let me know if you figure that email box thingy out too - I'd love to add one to wonder woman wannabe.
cheers!
First, would you please stop calling me your 'oldest' friend. I'm not exactly pushing up the daisies yet, you know! (maybe I'm your 'longest-standing' friend or your 'she-who-knows-all-about-me' friend.....SOMEthing!) Just reminds me of the birthday card I gave you one year. Two Victorian women in a parlor, one apparently having fallen onto the fainting couch, the other poised dangerously above her, arm raised as if about to strike, yelling 'Quit being younger than me, you bitch!' ;-)
Second, you CAN have your blog emailed directly to people if you create a Google group. Go to groups(dot)google(dot)com and snoop around a bit. This is what I do with mine, and so far haven't had any problems. Email me with questions and we can chat.
Happy blogging!

I deleted my erroneous comment- glad you could help me. I have never scrolled that far down the page! Great- now I can add your cute button to my "Blogs that Inspire Me" page. Thanks for sharing, and also for not making fun of my ignorance!:)
How exciting! Congrats!
and to think I knew you when.... I remember when your and Jessica's blogs were the only ones I read, and we pretty much just used them to journal about our kids and keep in touch with friends. (Well, that's basically what I still do with mine...it works for me...)
Well I hate to break the 100 streak, but i realized that I never had followed you :) i am a long time reader but don't think I have ever had the nerve to reply to anything :)
There is a way to add e-mail but of course I don't remember. It might be in your feedburner settings. Mine is HTML code.
