smiling on foot

I’ve said it before, but I’ll try and mean it this time. I’m going to be better about posting blog entries. I don’t know what’s come over me with this blog. Back in the day, I would blog daily – sometimes multiple times in one day with images, video, funny jokes and above all: personal stories. Now, it’s like I’ve forgotten I even have one. In my defense, I have certainly been busy. And often too tired to sit here and type up li’l diddies for the bloggos. But I think a major part of the problem is that it’s public. I might think of something that would be funny to blog about, but realize that some people might find it inappropriate. I’m also hesitant to over-share my personal life in case someone I know but don’t really “know” finds it. For example, I’d maybe want to blog about my recent interviews and then realize I can’t in case a co-worker sees it. For a while now, this new job thing has dominated my thoughts and if I couldn’t blog about that, I couldn’t blog about anything. (Bratty, I know. Like I said, I will be better about making the effort.) But now the secret is out. I gave my notice at Double J last week and I will start working at P-Lite on July 12th as eComm Mktg Manager. I’m psyched! Not only am I psyched for my new opportunity, but I really feel like this is the beginning of a fantastic, new chapter for myself. The next step is to get my own place. I’m still planning on September 1st and am now considering moving a bit more south from city than I ever thought I’d live. But if that means being closer to work (and my sister as a bonus), I think I might be okay with that. For right now, I’m going to write out some blog entry ideas.

Big news, bloggos, I’ve included a fun WordPress plugin to this here bloggo that allows those with fancy smart phones (iPhone, iTouch, Google Android, etc.) to read smilingonfoot.com in a nice and clean ”mobile view.”  If you do have a fancy smart phone and find that you’d rather read smilingonfoot.com in tiny font from the site (I know you will miss looking at my feet in top header), there is a button at the bottom of the screen that turns mobile theme on and off. Enjoy!

So this blog has been super public and live since mid July and there have been a handful of people who have found their way to smilingonfoot.com via searching for other things on the internet. Below are words that they entered into their favorite search site (mostly google) and somehow my blog came up for them and for whatever reason, they clicked and arrived. I’m sure they were all disappointed that my blog is not dedicated to their topic at hand (you know who you are you weird foot fetish people)… but all the people with the cat pee problems definitely got a good recommendation with that new catbox I bought. It was a good solution for my cats, mos def.  And I hope all the skype people not only looked at my entry about skyping with RB, but also clicked through to RB’s skyping post. Perhaps she could shed some light on that analysis. Any who… here are some of recent search terms for this here bloggo:

- if you dont use IM more often, I swear to god, elle kay – smiling on foot [this is my friend, DS, who likes to communicate via my search terms because he knows I check them]

- why dont you ever sign online LK? smiling on foot [him again]

- how to stop cats from peeing on edge of catbox [I feel their pain - get the catbox I have and your dreams will come true]

- precor 100i boston [this person happens to be from Jamaica Plain - but I have many people looking up my fave machine at the gym]

- cat pees over side of catbox [seems to be a common issue... epidemic even]

- giant catbox [what?]

- skype smilings [this is one of many skype entries - I hope they enjoyed screenshots of RB skyping with me]

- night clubs people 40 dance along south “shore of MA” [this savvy person used bing.com and works at Blue Cross Blue Shield]

- skypohontas [someone in Moscow who's obsessed with RB]

- harem pants [someone in Singapore with bad fashion sense]

- LK i know you read these, smiling on foot [guess who again!]

- video smiling woman feet [I have a feeling this person in Athens, Greece just may be my soul mate - I have smiling woman feet!]

- cat tail twitching urinating [what? my cat isn't the only one?!]

It’s here! You’re here too! The first official Elle Kay blog not from a free site! I know you’re thinking it’s not a big deal, but this makes my blog that much more legit… at least to me. So I’ve taken the time to add a whole bunch of blogs to the blogroll to the right so you can enjoy all the wonder that non-work and unproductive hours can provide. I also wrote an extensive “About” page last night if you’d like to check that out as well. See, oodles of good times await at the new smilingonfoot.com blog… come back again and visit.
