Googalicious

Every now and then I will click on sitemeter and check out who is looking at my blog, where they are located, and if they were referred from another site, then I will go check out that site too. Today was quite amusing as there were some recent Google searches resulting in people checking out my blog.

So if you ever wonder who checks out my blog, well it's people using Google to search out the following phrases:

"daydream+work+sex"
"i come home after work, park the car she's sleeping in the other room"
"sex "Olivya""
"mosquito like bumps inner thighs come together go away"
"Timothy Treadwell Autopsy"
"scratch red patch, psoriasis"
"man with one finger missing"

What I find even more amusing about all of those searches, is that most of those people actually spend a fair amount of time reading through my posts, looking for the ever elusive post about me at work daydreaming about Oli having a sexual dream, which obviously results in me getting so excited that I get a rash on my inner thighs, that could resemble psoriasis, and drives me crazy all day so finally when I get home from work, I park the car, run in the house and find someone sleeping in the other room, so I beat the crap out of her until my house resembles a retelling of Timothy Treadwell's grizzly bear encounter. Finally when I'm done all that, the police come to take me away and lo and behold, the detective interviewing me has one missing finger.

Okay enough of that, on to more pressing matters. Anita also appears shocked to hear I put carrots in my chili. To make a long story short, Carla posted about her husband who suggesting she put carrots in her chili and how ridiculous a thought that was, to which I replied that I had made chili with carrots in it. Carla found this deplorable and would have liked to have had me sentenced to death, but apparently the governor gave me a reprieve...why, well probably because of this (check out the last ingredient in all of these recipes):
