Up ’til 1 AM.
Trying to host my own site.
A dumb idea.

(Editors note: I originally wrote the last line as “Was a dumb idea” and then realized - 5 hours later - that it actually has SIX syllables.   Apparently the voice in my head speaks in a heavy Southern drawl, so I saw no problem with it the first time.  “Was a dumb I-dee.”  See?  And that is a scary, scary glimpse inside the mind of Rachel.)

I’m in the process of signing up for a domain for this site - something I know abso-freakin-lutely nothing about. So I’ll be going through their tutorials tonight ad nauseam so that I can make Yestertime nice and streamlined and shiny for you.

Until then, you can see that I have added contact information, so that if you want to email me you can do so at yestertimeblog@gmail.com

Also, I added the Search widget over on the right (down at the bottom). That way, if you need my recipe for meatloaf, or you can’t remember what rhymes with station wagon, or you just want to listen to a little Indigo Girls, you can get to those posts quick and easy. Hey, I aim to please.

So bear with me while I pretend to know something about web hosting. Hopefully something good will come of it.

P.S. Also, in somewhat related news, I am creating a new category called “Conversations with Bug”, since that tends to be the subject of many a post. Once I’ve gone back and sorted them all into that category, it will appear in the Category Cloud to the right —–>.

Super fast I just want to say that if your name is Carol Grise, please for the love of God pay your bills so that the debt collectors will stop calling my house and shaving a year off of my life twice a day.

That is all I have time to say today because about 20 minutes ago, I just decided to make Bug go cold turkey and I put him in underpants so every time he pauses for a nanosecond in his frenetic runnings around in the backyard where I am typing this on my laptop, I freeze and yell DO YOU HAVE TO GO PEE PEE which is a show I’m sure my neighbors are enjoying.

Oops, gotta go, his legs have stopped moving.

In my little secret master page that edits this blog and quite possibly controls some parts of the universe, I can see where the visitors to this site have come from. I can also see what people typed into their search engines that brought up this blog as an option for what they might be looking for. Wish you had more information on “pee through swimsuit”? Maybe Yestertime can help! Looking for “10 ways to become more of a badass”? Try Yestertime blog! (I’m kind of proud of that one, actually.) Or maybe you’re just searching for “PORNY”. If so, Yestertime’s the place!

Or so says Google.

It’s true that I did write a post with the word “porny” in the title. So, I suppose that was kind of asking for it. It’s the most frequent word on the random search list to boot, so if I ever get really famous from blog-writing (like so many people have), I can look back and say “I owe it all to PORNY.”

So knowing all of this, you can now imagine what yesterday’s post brought. That’s right, a record number of hits! All from the word “Fock”. More than worrying about the kinds of people who might be finding and reading my blog, it makes me worry about the ability of these people to spell. HELLO, IT’S SPELLED WITH A “U”.

In other completely non-potty mouthed news, I hope soon to have a contact email to put up for you, as well as a NEW and IMPROVED “About” page. These sound like very simple changes that would take only minutes, but NO. It’s all very COMPLICATED and HARD.

So while I’m working on that, you can enjoy today’s side picture of Bug and YOU KNOW WHO. I mean, I like hits as much as the next blogger, but if I just keep putting the actual name on the blog, THE PERVERTS HAVE WON.
