I am nothing. . .if not weird. . .

Why on earth I looked to the side of my blog, I'll have no idea. . . but I noticed in 2007 I wrote 35 blog posts and I started in July of that year!

Then I was a Rockstar in 2008 and wrote 131 blog posts. I mean, that's almost 11 a month!!

Then in 2009. . . a 72. . . not sure why I didn't like blogging. . .

2010--26.

Woah.

Did funny things just quit happening to me once I got older?? Like I hit 30 and the universe was like "Well, we might as well put a fork in her. . .she's done."

I wonder if my goal in 2011 is to write about anything that I find amusing because really nothing funny has apparently happened to me.

This blog isn't even really funny right now, but well. . . I had to write something so I can beat 26.

Please Help!!!

In August 2009, my dear friend passed away. At this same time, they asked for donations for our local Library so that we could make it handicap accessible and so that they could add on a children's wing in her name.

Well they are now $200,000 short of the goal to start raising money. I grew up in a small town of 4,000 people and we are in 2nd place in this sweepstakes.

Please, if you can in the next 12 days of the contest go to Reader's Digest and vote for my small town. My Hometown is Fairbury, Illinois and we're currently in 2nd place.

Put this on your twitters, your blogs, etc. This will greatly help us.

This is from Josie's family:

So many of you generously donated to Josie’s memorial so that there will be a Young Children’s Reading Room named in honor of Josie at our local Dominy Memorial Library. But we do not yet have the funds needed to start the renovation and addition. Please open the attachment and read about how you can help us earn a $40,000 grant from Readers Digest by voting as often as 10 times a day over the next months. Please go to the Readers Digest Website and log on. Pass this on to all those you know who would be interested in supporting our cause. With your help, you can help us to realize this goal.



Connie, John, John Dunnett, Jessica, Trafton, and families


We're almost out of 2nd place, so any help is appreciated! :)

Thanks!!
