I enjoy checking my site meter and finding out the search words that people have used that brought them to The Median Sib.   Here are thirteen recent searches:

(1) Jordin Sparks - If We Hold On Together or I Who Have Nothing - I wrote about Jordin Sparks during “American Idol” and LOVED the way she sang the song “I Who Have Nothing” and “If We Hold On Together.”  So I wrote out the lyrics.    Apparently lots of people still remember Jordan singing those songs want to know the lyrics!

(2) Kristine Lefebvre - Playboy - I wrote about how Kristine Lefebvre, a contestant on “The Apprentice” would be in Playboy.  A very popular topic, I found.

(3) Re-marrying your ex -  I remarried my ex-husband last year, and I wrote about it.   I regularly get hits from people interested in the topic.

(4) Mary Winkler - It’s been over a year since I originally wrote about the Mary Winkler murder case, but I still get at least a few hits every day about it.

(5) Tomato-Mozarella Salad - Great recipe and obviously a popular one, too.

(6) Kelly Pickler Haircut- I wrote about Kelly Pickler’s appearance on “American Idol” with a new hairdo and new boobs.  Months later, a couple dozen people each day are still interested.

(7)  Quotes about siblings - I neveer realized how often people look for quotes about brothers, sisters and family. 

(8)  Cucumber and Cream Cheese Sandwich - I wrote about my  mother’s delicious Cucumber and Cream Cheese Sandwiches that she makes for bridal showers and other events.  I posted the recipe and people regularly visit TMS to get the recipe.

(9)  Dreaming of loved ones who have died - I wrote about a vivid dream I had about my father after he died.  Apparently lots of people dream about loved ones who have passed on.

(10)  Children’s sermons - I wrote about a children’s sermon I was asked to do one week.  Every Saturday since then, without fail, I get a bunch of hits from people looking for a children’s sermon.

(11) What principals look for in teachers - I read an article that had a list of qualities that principals look for in teachers.  I felt the list was a bunch of hooey, and so I wrote what I felt were the REAL qualities of good teachers. 

(12)  Fever blister treatment - I get fever blisters occasionally, and I found that Valtrex, which is a medication for genital herpes, works great to get rid of a fever blister quickly.  I regularly get hits about that topic.

(13)  DRA testing - The DRA (Developmental Reading Assessment) is a reading assessment I give very often.  I’ve written about it on TMS, and people look for information on the DRA quite frequently.
