One Thousand Strong!

I only started counting in July, but we've had over 1,000 visitors since then to this website! Now, granted...I check the blog a few times a day to see if it has been updated myself, so the number is probably around only 10 viewers since July. Maybe I'll someday realize that the blog does not get miraculously updated unless I do it! And, of course, my mom and dad check the blog a couple of times a week...so probably, the more accurate count is that of one new viewer since July :)
I have also added a tool on the right that alerts the reader when a new column has been posted....so that after I update the blog, I also get an email that its been updated. hmmm....maybe I need a job!
Yesterday, while making dinner and not paying attention due to rushing, Jonathan "playing" with Sylvie, and being distracted as usual, I happened to have sliced my thumb with a knife. While my thumb was uncontrollably bleeding in the sink, I kept yelling for Jonathan to get me the phone so that I could find out if Mike was on his way or was I going to deal with this alone. So, the cutie pie kept running into the kitchen saying "oh-oh!" and then running back to the living room, and then running back to the kitchen saying "oh-oh!" and then back to the living room...but no phone came. And then in walked Mike to save the day. A lesson learned...Jonathan is good at identifying a crisis. Now my left thumb is bandaged, but thankfully, it has stopped throbbing overnight. Another lesson learned...pay attention when cutting!
