I do try!! HONEST!!
Okay, back to work on my weight loss. Tomorrow that is….cause today was ummmm NOT what you would call diet friendly?! First there was the bag of Reese’s Peanut Butter Valentine hearts (on sale at CVS for $2.99!) I did share that with Selena and Dan and ummmm I think Heather had one. (I didn’t glare at her when she looked at the bag a second time. HONEST!) Then the box of Cheese-It’s closely followed by a Big Mac meal. Then the OHHH WAIT!! I Had a SKINNY vanilla latte at Starbucks that had to off set SOMAthis! I also am back to my morning walk with Kaki tomorrow, today? Not so much… WAIT! WAIT!! WAIT!! I did STRETCH over Selena to get the Reese’s. I did WALK to the bathroom. I did LIFT the dog up to my lap (NO Jack DID NOT jump up! Sheeshhh DAN!) I did do arm exercises when I was having hot flashes… waving like a mad woman burns calories! WOW I feel sooooo much better now! Between the Skinny Vanilla Latte and the exercising I bet I lost at least a pound over the weekend!! I hope you had a great (long) weekend. I’ll see ya tomorrow.
I’m Dusting Off Old Posts So Google Notices Me Again
You know that awkward moment when you run into someone you used to talk to every day and they clearly don’t remember your name? That’s basically my relationship with Google right now. So I’m fixing it. 🧹
Lately, I’ve been wandering through my older blog posts like a librarian with a red pen, updating headlines, polishing keywords, and gently reminding Google that yes, I’m still here and still weirdly productive. Updating old posts for SEO is like changing the batteries in your smoke detector. Nothing flashy, but suddenly everything works better.
I’m tightening things up, adding clearer headings, improving readability, and sprinkling in relevant links where they actually make sense. Not keyword soup. Not robotic nonsense. Just good content wearing better shoes.
Speaking of links, if you’re curious why this matters, Google itself has a surprisingly helpful guide on how search works. It’s worth a peek if you like knowing how the internet’s brain ticks.
And while you’re clicking around, this is also me casually pointing you to an internal post or two that needed a glow-up anyway. Old posts deserve love. And traffic. Mostly traffic.
Oh, and if you spot mentions of my monthly $50 Your Way giveaway, that’s not an accident. You’ll find that happy little temptation living in the sidebar. PayPal, Venmo, or gift card. Your choice. Every month. 🎉
So if things look a bit fresher around here, that’s me courting Google with better SEO and a side of charm. Wish me luck. And maybe click something while you’re here.
