The Amazing Race

When Zane and I started the blog, our intent was to share our stories with our parents in an effort to speak to them less. With that backfiring, we now have a wide audience of nosey friends, family and complete strangers enjoying our crazy antics. While we can't figure out if you read to watch this all break apart like some Brad Pitt/Jennifer Anniston saga or to see it through to our McDreamy and Meredith post-it note wedding, we are glad you are here.

A short while ago we added another element for stalkers, on Facebook we began a "fan group." While about 95% of our readers know what that means, the 5% we created this blog for have no idea what that is. We set a goal of getting 100 fans on Facebook and pushed ourselves like street drugs for weeks straight. We've plateaued at around 95 and every once in awhile a new pal joins.

When we hit 50 fans we decided to create an incentive. We still stand by our claim to devote an entire blog entry to our 100th fan. We are currently at 97. We may not know you #100 but we will make ourselves your new best friend. Lots of you stalk us daily while remaining anonymous, show your face!

This concept of a blog specifically about #100 has sparked some terrifying competition in my family. My brother still refuses to be a fan of me. Maybe it's all those trucks I hit him over the head with as children, maybe the hidden contempt that I am still the favorite, alas he just refuses. On the other end of the spectrum, my mom is jumping through hoops trying to figure out how to get a "MyFace" account in order to be our fan, get a blog written about her, and then be able to stalk the lives of her children and relatives. Out of selfishness or sheer competitive spirit, she can't read enough about herself and wants that spot. No one is jumping at the chance to help her setup an account so if you notice a post devoted to my mom... I will find whomever you are that helped her and there will be words.

So... keep fanning us and see how large our fan base can get.

Coming soon: Hers & His Recipes, More Surveys, and hopefully before the end of the year... Apartment Hunting!
