"Do what you can, with what you have, where you are"
-Theodore Roosevelt
Usually, my email is quite the jungle. I've had the same email address since July 2005 and contrary to most people I know who get an email that age and have something really dorky that once upon a time may have been cool, my email's always been representative of me and who I am. But after having the same address for so long, I never know what to expect in my inbox. When I first got an email, I was 13 and none of my friends had one so I signed up for a few newsletters and they started sending but over the span of a few years they stopped. I am now receiving a wild revival of my daily Tarot Card Readings from the 7th grade. And then of course, every once in a while I receive email alerts like this:
And the funny thing is, it was a real email! lol It was actually some info I requested for a Christmas present I was going to buy a friend and they never got back to me. lol
All joking aside, it's safe to say I don't know what is stored away in my email but this is something I definitely didn't expect to find. I woke up and from my 6 unopened emails and say that it jumped to 21. Even with my massive clutter, I've never gotten that many in a few hours so sure enough I looked and discovered they were all follow requests to the blog networking site Bloggers.com and way towards the botttom of the screen I discovered why I had so many follow requests.(it's a thumbnail so click it for a full sized view)
I was absolutely floored! While I don't check Bloggers much, I in my 5 years of blogging, have never gotten recognized for it, much less had readers outside my close circle of friends. And so I am the Editor's Pick of the day, which brings a whole bunch of traffic to my site and I couldn't be more excited to have this type of recognition. For those of you who are discovering my blog through Bloggers, Welcome! I hope you enjoy what you're reading and for those of you who want to see, this is what it looks like. :) I'm the one at the bottom of the page. :) (again, it's a thumbnail)
