OMG !!! 200!!

CMash June 19, 2010 15 Comments

I can’t believe it !! I just became a member of the 200 club !! I have 200 followers. I am truly amazed !! A bit of history for my newest followers. I stumbled onto a book blog back around September/October. Didn’t even know this world existed. I clicked on their blogroll list and found more blogs, and kept clicking. I was outside looking in. I was inspired to create a page as a personal journal. That alone was a miracle since I am not computer savvy at all. The more blogs I found, the more I wanted to connect and become part of this neighborhood that had the same love as me, books !! So I started out slowly, entering challenges, participating in memes. My “personal journal” went public around November. Then some very kind and experienced bloggers encouraged me to start accepting requested reviews. My first one was in December. And since then…as they say…is history. I NEVER, NEVER thought that my blog would be where its at, with so many kind people that actually take the time to visit. This weekend is truly special, not only am I hosting my first ever giveaway but I have 200 book blogging friends…….So to all of my 200 followers, I say……..

SATURDAY

Several issues to blog about this morning, so lets get started.

**For those who have been travelling with me on my medical journey, and who have offered up prayers, said so many thoughtful and kind words of encouragement, know that yesterday I had my 2 month follow up. The verdict: I am making progress, however, it is a slow process. I have graduated to a cane, and better yet, no housework for another 2 months. I still can not bend, lift or twist…..a BLT on toast. WooHoo…more time to blog, read and review. No excuses now, not to catch up with my reading schedule.
**No memes today…I checked the one I usually particpate in but as of this posting the question is not up.

**Tomorrow is a big day for me on my blog. I will be hosting my first giveaway!!! So stop by and enter!!!!

**I have to confess to something…I have been stalking the Bloggiesta. Have you seen this in your google reader? What great tips. I have been taking notes from afar and today plan to incorporate some of them. There are drafts that I have been putting off but since this is the Bloggiesta (love that name) Weekend, I will leave for now to get something accomplished.

What are your plans for today? Have a great Saturday and Happy Reading!!

I think I now have the majority of things reorganized, still a couple of little tweaking needs to be done, but there is always tomorrow. But before I move myself again to the recliner to read, I wanted to post about a few items.
   *Thank you everyone that stopped by and commented on the new blog. I want you to know how much those words were appreciated. I was a bit nervous about the unveiling since it is you, the followers, that have to look at it. So thank you again.
   *Not sure if you noticed, but, I also now have a new button as well. For those who have my old one, please grab the new one. And if anyone else wants to grab it, please do. It is there for the picking lol.
   *I also have to thank Julie from Reading Without Restraint, for giving me honest criticism and helping me figure out what I should go with.
   *And to Emily from Blogaholic Designs, I give you this award:

She is talented, as you can see, professional helpful, patient, honest and generous. If you or someone you know is looking for a makeover, trust me, she is the go to person. Again, Emily, THANK YOU !!!!

SUNDAY

So what do you think? Emily from Blogaholic did a wonderful job!!!! Today I will be putting my sidebars back and doing a little “spring cleaning” getting rid of some things that I had. I hope you like it and that it is easier to read and navigate. I may be doing some “test” postings to see what font, etc to use. Let me know what you honestly think as compared to my old blog.
