I love you guys

Have I told you how much I love this blog? I love to write, I love putting it out in the open, and I love that you guys love my writing back.

Just to give you an idea, about two or three months ago, this blog had around 150 views. It was mostly my friends and family checking it out, the really close ones, and I did a lot of re-reading, so about a third of it was just me. Sometimes, I'd even forget this blog existed. But last month-ish, I made you guys a promise. I've been doing my best to fulfill that promise, and though I haven't been doing as well as I'd hoped, you guys have been there for me the whole way through. I started posting almost daily, and you guys responded. Big-time.

Now this blog is extremely close to hitting 900 views.

I know a couple weeks ago I told you I was excited for it hitting 600 views. But now, I'm excited for it to hit one thousand. I can't believe we've come this far. I love this, all of it. You're making me feel famous. Like, really famous. It makes me feel like my dreams weren't actually that unrealistic. And I just think that's awesome. The kind of awesome that makes the universe explode with coolness because it rocks so much.

As you might be able to tell, I'm having trouble putting this into words. Just know that I wouldn't have gotten here without you readers, and I'm really thankful for it. Don't stop checking this blog, because I'm going to continue until I can't write anymore because I've sprained my fingers from so much typing. And then I'll write even more.

I know I say this almost every time I post something, but it's true: I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YOUR FEEDBACK. If you can't comment for whatever dumb reason Google has, then email me at polarfarina@gmail.com because I'd love to hear from you! Seriously!

Okay, I know I said that I won't ever stop writing, but starting on Friday, the 15th, I'm going to spend the week at my grandparent's house. It's sort of a "Grandma Camp," where we go swimming, learn to kayak, bake bread, build stuff (Like bird feeders, although a few years ago we helped build furniture when they bought some new stuff from IKEA), sew dolls and/or quilts, and stay up late watching movies while eating really awesome popcorn. I'll do my best to post while I'm away, but my grandparents are very spry for their age and are ALWAYS giving me something really cool to do. So I'm sorry if I don't follow up on the "almost daily" thing. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. If I can, I'll try to post a log of what I do there, but I can't promise anything at this point.

          I really do love you guys,

  2. Don't sprain your fingers. Do some warmup stretches. Get some very small towels, an assortment of diminutive cots and tiny little bottles of scented oils. Then get a crew of miniaturized monkeys trained in the massage arts and give your fingers spa days.

    Let me know if you try the hand-spa-with-monkey idea. ;)
