What Brings You Here Today Round Two

March 10, 2015 by Meghan 38 Comments

I find this whole blogging business fascinating.

Aside from scoping out a recipe here or there, I’m amazed people stop by my little corner of the world on a monthly, weekly or whenever basis to see what’s going down because the easy answer is usually not a whole lot.  

While I may be witty, slightly deranged and often times sarcastic, no one has ever described my personality as gripping. Plus, my wild lifestyle days are mostly behind me, unless of course you count my passionate love affair with veggies, cheese and the Hubby, generally not at the same time, although exceptions have been made. Simply put, my life is pretty mundane. 

The best part is I like it that way. I enjoy my little bubble filled with unicorns and inappropriate nut ball jokes. It might not exactly be riveting stuff, but it is me through and through. It’s also why I’m astonished people come here willingly to see what I’m going to say next. Spoiler alert: veggies or monkey love will be involved.

To my regular readers, THANK YOU. You rock my non-matching socks off, and I appreciate your support to infinity and beyond, even if it makes you a bit touched in the head. To my new readers, “Come in, come in. Sit down, pull up a chair and feel free to stay awhile.” For everyone else, there are search terms. Specifically the words or phrases you tippity tapped into Google, which ultimately brought you to my neck of the woods.

And away we go.

  • Control freak: who told you? It’s completely false. I’ll deny it to my grave or at least the rest of this sentence. Alright! There might be an iota of truth in there. Whatever.   

control-freak-card

  • Glitter: I’ll take seconds please.
  • witch eating pancakes: um, not sure what you’re suggesting here, and to be completely honest, I don’t like it especially because I’m more of an eggs for breakfast kind of gal. Protein, bro.

Scrambled Dill Eggs with Granola Bread and Mimosa

  • wearing crocs in public: if you’re looking for validation to wear rubber baskets on your feet, you’ve come to the wrong place. Just say No to Crocs.
  • High heel toe cleavage: now that’s more like it.
  • naughty snoopy: my brother’s one-eyed dog named Rooster made a pass at my leg this weekend. Talk about a self-fulfilling prophesy. It was awkward to say the least.

Rooster and the Running Shoes

  • Naughty Dorothy: I’m sensing a trend.  I’d also like to meet this Dorothy. She sounds rather compelling, gripping even.
  • My tatas are better than yours: those are some pretty strong fighting words from a complete stranger. I say “Bring ’em on.”
  • Quiche de broccoli: I feel footloose, fancy free and totally French. Oui, oui, mon cherie. Je m’appelle Meghan, and J’adore croissant and quiche de broccoli.

Broccoli Cheddar Quiche

  • Acorn Squash Walnuts: Egads! A new species of nuts; I must investigate this further.
  • Nut crusher: aaaand I just scared away the four males in my audience. I’ll be gentle, I promise.
  • Two potatoes in love: awwwww. Spud love baby, spud love.
  • Cats in workout gear: I do not recommend stuffing a clawed creature into any type of apparel, even workout gear, not if you value your life.

Oscar as Batman

  • Crack whores: suffice to say, all are welcome here.
  • Thug Love: Where’s the Hubby when you need him?
  • Sqush: apparently I have a glaring typo somewhere. Either that or I’m adding to the Urban Dictionary. I’ll probably find Sqush right under my new species of nuts.
  • Ode to grilled cheese: we should do this every month.

Grilled-Cheese-with-Blueberry-Sauce-Brie-and-Walnuts-on-Cinnamon-Raisin-Bread

  • I’m my hubby’s pampered queen. No explanation needed.
  • I am out of control: this is so yesterday’s news. Been there, done that
  • Frenzied cleaning as a disorder: and what of it? In fact, I’m pleased as punch with this behavior. Don’t knock it ’til you try it.
  • Parade of Salads because balance.

Circle SaladBalance seems like a good note to end this post on, especially for a Healthy Living Blogger such as myself. Besides, I’m out of terms so our search engine fun is done; for today anyway. Look for round three on the horizon.

What are some of your favorite search engine terms? What brings other people to your blog? What brings you to my blog day in and day out? Thanks for that, by the way. You make my day.

    Totally lolling at “Naughty Dorothy”—> what are you not telling us ;)! Some of the search engine terms that bring people to my blog make me laugh…and also remind me that we are living in a world full of crazies which makes me oh so happy. Just for the record, I am now craving a quiche…and not a crustless quiche. Bring on all the puff pastry!!

    What brings me to your blog is actually something you wrote about recently – being realistic and not beating yourself up if you happen to miss a salad and a ten mile run.

    Or maybe it’s just because you’re an Ohioan. Probably that, actually.

    This! This kind of amusing musing keeps me coming back! You’re you, and unapologetic about it. It’s brilliant and quite different to most of the other blogs I read.
    Keep it coming. Also, potatoes in love please.

    your sass, cleanliness, and witt bring me back, and writing. it’s your writing, and of course your kitty….. hahahaha sorry anyway… heheehee.
    after that i happen to love your vanilla gorilla action, cheese and veggie fetish, and any other ramblings. never before have i enjoyed reading a recipe post as much as i do here. the bonuses for me are mentions of crack whores, glitter, and all-things-nuts. you are a saucy girl.
    you need some Uni-Kitty!!! if watching the entire LEGO movie is a bit much right now, i’m sure there are clips of Uni-Kitty somewhere in the interwebs.. or tubey tube

    You are HILARIOUS! That’s why I read you. I know most people love recipes but I’ll be honest, I’m not one of those people. I am NOT a foodie. I hate cooking and I don’t care about food. It’s annoying and a waste of time. But you? You are so hilarious and your writing is so magnetic that I end up reading your damn healthy recipes anyway… and resent you for making me hungry. xo

    Haha I love seeing other bloggers’ search terms – they’re so hysterical! “My tatas are better than yours”… like what? Why would someone even search that??

    I read your blog because I’m checking up on you to make sure you’re turning into a squash lover. 😉 Also you’re awesome and I wish I knew you in real life.

    The weirdest search term for my blog recently was “my mom is cooking how to make my dad is fat in my knee”… what does that even mean? Haha.

    Those are some amazing search terms! I like the cleaning as a disorder one because I joke that unfortunately I haven’t been afflicted with that one. On a sad note I once had the search term “what if I can’t run away” and it freaked me out a little. I can only hope the person found something a little uplifting on my blog!

    I come to your blog because once upon a time I met you in real life, and you had thee most beautiful and authentic soul. I hope that doesn’t sound creepy or extreme, but you were so genuine and I instantly fell in love with your personality. I am sad I won’t see you this year because I can’t afford to go to blend, but sending you love in spirits.

    Oh, and don’t let me forget to mention that all of your food looks damn good. That too. 😉

I hope Chicago is treating you well and you survived the record breaking winter. I can only image how ready for Spring you are. Hope life is going well.
