Pins and needles, right? I know you are all wondering about the SchutzHappens poll… you know the one… about your favorite parts of my ever meandering blog? Right? You know…
You have no idea what I’m talking about do you?
Well, who cares, on to the results:
· The Sheer Randomness of it All!!!! (71%)
o Hurray!
· Hearing about Traveling and Life in the Foreign Service (61%)
o Hmmm… I guess you guys are right… I did start this blog to talk about life in the Foreign Service. However… being a diplomat isn’t as cool as you might think. It sounds awesome until you’re actually the one traveling for more than 24 hours at a pop multiple times a year. That said… I do have some good stories coming your way.
· Observations of Strange Holidays (52%)
o I am proud to report that my entry about ‘Take Your Teddy Bear to Work Day’ is now my second most read blog entry ever. How awesome is that! And Joe Bear and I were actually reunited on Christmas!
· Stories about Family and Fatherhood (38%)
o Besides the Foreign Service experience thing, talking about family was the other main motivator for this blog. I’m afraid, regarding this subject, that my tone may have gotten a bit melancholy… but that is to be expected, after all we were apart for four and a half months. BUT! I back from my first R&R and I’m recharged with plenty of Grayson hugs and Gilliam kisses to get me through the second phase of my unaccompanied tour! And I have some GREAT Christmas stories for you guys.
· Epically Long Stories that Never Get to the Point (38%)
o Seriously. I promise to finish ‘The Chair’ this year. It’s my New Year’s Resolution and I’m really good about my New Year’s resolutions. Like the time I gave up caffeine… umm… bad example. Oh, I know! Like when my resolution was to dress more professionally… er… take myself more seriously? Yeah… resolutions aren’t really my strong suit.
· Wacky Websites and Videos (33%)
o What can I say? They make for good filler when I’m feeling uninspired. Would you rather I go silent?
· JP’s Obsession with Movies and TV (28%)
o Again. This one hurts. Especially with the Oscars right around the corner. But I will point out again, my post on the Emmy’s and Chritine Baranski is STILL my most read post in SchutzHappens history! And did I mention Oscar season? Hold onto your potatoes… it’s going to be a Movie Bonanza up in here!
But… beyond the poll one thing is for certain. There are a lot of folks from all walks of life reading my blog. And judging from the 10 most read entrees (scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page) I would NEVER in a million years be able to predict what you guys enjoy reading about… which is why I am so happy to know what you all appreciate the most: the sheer randomness of my mind.
Have a great one everybody!
