May 2 - 3, 2008 - More Fun with Google Analytics; Car Wash and Birthday Dinners
(started
in the AM on 5/2, finished on 5/3)
Right now my son is missing the bus. He had to get in the shower after
Doug discovered he'd taken all his blue hair gel from Halloween and plastered
it onto his head to "look cool."
I suppose it could be worse, he could have found Doug's hair clippers.
His hair, in parts and stripes and bits, is as blue as the dark blue background of this webpage right here. The rest is blonde. He looks like he was "slimed" on Nickelodeon. So yeah, he's in the shower. And I'm supposed to be in the shower. And he is supposed to be going out to the bus in 3 minutes.
So while he's doing that, and making me late, I thought I'd pull up Google Analytics and enjoy the keywords that bring humans to my site. In addition to recent mentions in Universal Hub and on Nance's Knucklehead Convention (formerly Nebshit), I discovered that I am listed on the Boston Globe local blogs site. Interesting. I think I get about 5 visits a day from that source, but Nance got me over 100. So suck that Boston Globe. Heh.
In the meantime, enjoy this Google Analytics list of things that bring people here, and usually they don't bring them back... at least to my knowledge. Comments in italicized bold, or bolded italics, depending on how you look at it.

Seriously folks, that last one is a good one to take my leave on.
My sister and my brother in law and my parents will be here momentarily and I'm not kidding.
Linda called at about 11:30 and it takes 90 minutes to get here. Which means they'll be here in 2 minutes if the traffic was good to them... and selfishly, I'm hoping to God it was not. Heh.
They're coming up so we can celebrate my folks' almost the exact same date birthdays (Dad is May 8, Mom is May 7). And Ronnie has never been here to this house before, and so we wanted it to look nice and presentable. Instead of Foxworthy worthy... "You might be a redneck if you got enough dog hair to make alpaca-style sweaters with in multiple sizes to sell at the town folk art fair!"
I got up early this morning to start cleaning. Doug was supposed to be taking Geoff to the annual Boy Scout Car Wash which was to be held today from 9am to 1pm but they got rained out. Praising God that I had an extra two sets of hands here to help, we all set to work at about 10am. And at about 1pm the house looks really fairly decent. Like people really live here. Except our Bedrooms. Those are a loss and a project for another rainy day.
Two weeks ago I cleaned it top to bottom, right before Jess left... and you would never know it. A combination of poor maintenance between cleaning, three mostly-black and very hairy dirty dogs, and a house that seems to manufacture its own dust means the place gets messy fast. I really would love a bi-weekly service to come in here and do the BIG stuff, and I could do the little stuff, like getting organized.
But alas... not to be until I somehow start manufacturing money like my house manufactures dirt.
And on that note, I need to clean me. Right after I scrub the shower.
