One Thousand Minus Three

Obsessive much? I HAVE to pack. I HAVE to move out. I HAVE to go to work. Oh, and did I mention that the movers are coming on Saturday? I did? Sorry.

I don’t have to blog or check blogging stats or even think about how many people ever read my posts, but I do. A lot. And I have for the past year (well, as of tomorrow), which is kind of a new world record of stick-to-it-ness for me (unless you count all the unproductive things that I stayed with well past their useful lifespans).cupcake-bake-off1-600x418

So, drumroll please, BulgingButtons is up to 997 followers. The big question is, can we get three more recruits by the end of today, so that we’ll start our second year with 1,000 loyal readers? Yeah, I know they aren’t all loyal readers, but play along, won’t you?

Get your cousin Ed over here and your Aunt Vera and the ladies in your book club and your biker friends and everybody you know on Facebook. Let’s make it a regular BulgingButtons virtual party, complete with virtual cupcakes and virtual shots. After all, I’ve got nothing else going on tomorrow… do you?

Wednesday Wisdom #1

There are many forces of wisdom at play in the universe. I want to share with you some of what I’ve learned over the years. Naturally I have to do it on Wednesdays, because who doesn’t love alliteration?o-PEANUT-BUTTER-facebook

Words of Wisdom

Everything is better with peanut butter.

Who said it

Lila the wonder dog, although she didn’t technically “say” it, but I know she thinks it.

What it means to me

It’s the little extras in life that make it more interesting and exciting and enjoyable. It’s the whipped cream on the frappucino, the hot fudge on the sundae, and the meatball on the spaghetti. All of those things are good without the extras, but the extras take them over the top. Don’t just go to the Grand Canyon, take a hike there. Don’t just go to the beach, splash in the ocean. Don’t forget to add the peanut butter into your life from time to time.

Still Racing!

041-vintage-racerNine more people, three more days! What am I talking about? The race to have 1,000 people following BulgingButtons by my one year anniversary of blogging, on June 27, 2014. Will we make it? I hope so!
