From Cuddlebuggary: Five Reasons Why Stats don't Matter and You Shouldn't Care

Breaking up with stats is hard to do but I did it a while ago. I keep the google follower on my sidebar because personally I find it easier to follow blogs that way so I like to keep the option open but I barely - if ever - read my stats. (except for searches that lead to my blog - I find those Hilarious!) I do think they are helpful if you request books though. As long as you keep a healthy attitude about it.

I find they make me try to blog a "certain way" and then it's not fun for me.

 Silliness….

 Take a look at this lawn dinosaur on Pinterest. Too cute! They dress him up on holidays and he’s even getting fan mail. LOVE it!

    I want that cupcake!!! Indy looks super cute w/the frisbee on his nose!

    I completely agree about stats. I do look at some if mine, but remind myself that I'm not in competition w/anyone, so it doesn't matter.

    Pancakes are the best food porn. I feel ridiculous saying this, but I have had SUCH A PANCAKE CRAVING over the past few months, when I previously was Team French Toast.

    Cupcakes never change, so I don't feel bad saying that one looks delicious. :P Your dogs are cute, too, but certainly not edible. Thank you for the giveaways and the great links - I love following discussions I haven't seen yet.

      Now I want French Toast! lol

      I'm so happy I don't live too close to a good cupcake place (the one pictured is from a French bakery about an hour away) I would eat WAY too many. Whenever I go to NYC for BEA I have one everyday. There are cupcake shops on every corner!

    You're like me. When new stuff comes, old must go.
    I love the pics!
    You have me thinking pancakes for dinner.

    I'm hoping to get a lot of blogging stuff done this weekend, but am thwarted so far. I made pancakes this morning - but not as beautiful as those -- YUM!

    I've got three books going right now: Dark Triumph, Poison, and The Collector. All are great so far! I kind of never want Dark Triumph to end, though. It's just as good as Grave Mercy.

      I have Dark Triumph and I want to read it NOW but I have a few books that I need to review first. It's driving me crazy and everyone seems to love it just as much as GM.
