My three dirty little secrets

There are things I am sure I never thought about telling you about me. Blogging provides a mystery and to tell all would give that away.

But, I have to give up three secrets about myself, so I guess I will begin with I stay up all night and sleep during the day.
MckLinky Blog Hop
I know, I heard all of you. But it works for me. I can work on the computer next to my bed while hubby sleeps. Then after I feed him and he goes to work I can have the whole bed to myself. I have chronic back pain that prevents me from being able to rest if I can't have enough room.

As for another secret. I do what I can around the house, but I don't clean like I use to. I can't. When we are having company I still put myself through excess bodily pain to the point I am down for days. So the dirt doesn't bother me anymore.

And, number three is, I am so sad it's pitiful, because I can't figure out how to get more people to follow me or how to get higher numbers so I can get giveaways.

It seems like an evil little circle. The haves, and have nots. I beat my head against a wall every night and cry to the blogosphere for help. But, no one hears me. So I will continue to search out the answers I seek until I am worthy.

  1. I got my first giveaways from friends, I then advertised them everywhere I could online, twitter and facebook. Once you do one or two companies start looking for you. I have received 3 reviews and two giveaways in a week and I have only been blogging for 2 months maybe
    Good luck!

    Happy Hopping

  2. Thanks for visiting.
    I'm not sure if you helped or made me feel worse. Just kidding.
    I started in April. I am still learning so any things. I figured out how to do the number draw for when I do get to have a giveaway.
    I still can't get a rank from Google. Although, I did finally get my link fixed tonight.
    I guess everything will work itself out - eventually.

  5. saw your link on my voting thingy and now I follow you too. Participate in BLOG MEME's Follow others and they usually follow back SOME will not all 1/3 do. LET THEM know you follow when you leave a comment...then they know and will follow you. Leave your link everywhere you go EVERYWHERE! I've been blogging for 7 months and still don't have giveaways. I had a few internet things but nothing good yet. Good luck I'm stalking ....I mean follow you.
    Thanks for the vote
