day 18: something that tickles your fancy

Okay, blog stalkers. Let's all take a breath because we did it-- we made it to another wild card on Blog-a-Day. WE MADE IT! So let's just settle in with a bottle of Diet Coke and a pink blanket that your old roommate made you and a nice warm heating pad on your back while The Prestige plays in the background.

But for real, about the heating pad. My back is kiiiiiiiiiiilllllllllllllllllinnnnnnnngggg meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, you guys.

Today, this necklace is tickling my fancy.

It was Valentine's Day gifted to me by husband Ames. I actually picked it out for myself because he's been gone all week so we went After Valentine's Day shopping at Target today because
1. Husband Ames has been gone in St. George acting all week.
2. I went and visited St. George but it was about the acting and not about shmoopy shopping.
3. We had the last of our wedding gift cards left and it was $50 to Target.
4. Target is the greatest store that ever existed and being there lifts my heart. Maybe it shouldn't but it does.

But isn't it darling and wonderful? I think it may become one of my go-to necklaces. Also it will remind me that I can do hard things, because I can, and husband Ames knows I can too.

We also got a snail for our fish tank, because the algae problem is a little out of control. The snail is named Harvey, because we watched Milk last night, and all the fish in our tank are boy fish. Harvey is the most romantic After Valentine's Day present ever.

Other than the necklace and the snail, my fancy is tickled by my stat counter which informed me that I've had 702 hits on this very here blog since February 1. 362 of them have been first-time visitors. I feel really cool about that. I also feel mystified because

WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE!

I'd just love to know who's reading this little blog of mine-- you know, for curiosity's sake! What do you like about this blog? What would you like to see more/less of on this blog? Are the short entries better than the long ones? Are you visual blog readers and would like to see more pictures? Do you like it when I talk about Ames and post cute pictures of him? Please let me know.

The fact is: I know you exist, but you don't comment very much, so I don't even know who you are. But I want to know, and then I can blog-stalk you too! I really do actually keep up with all the blogs on my blog roll, and I fully intend to expand my blog reading.

Introduce yourself. Let's be blog-friends (especially if we're real-life friends), yeah?
