I realize that there are about four people on the Internet this week and even fewer people reading blogs, but I’m posting this week anyway.
I liken it to singing alone in the car in that I do it because I want to and not for an audience other than the car that pulls up next to me and sees me busting out Eminem like only a skinny Polish girl in an Equinox can do.
Anyway, I figured I would do one more holiday-centric post before getting back to “normal” posts.
I’m not one for “Year in Review” recaps, as mine would most likely just be a list of things I ate and several self-inflicted injuries with basic household objects. Granted there have been good things and bad I could reflect upon while gazing at my navel, but nobody cares about that.
Instead I was thinking it might be kind of fun to look back at what post got the most comments each month this past year and do a “Top 12 in 2012” post.
As you can see, that would have been a great idea if the year had been 2012. Needless to say, 2014 will not be the year that I attend my first Mensa meeting. It was a solid concept though, so I’m going with it anyway.
Below you will find the post that got the most comments each month (minus giveaway posts.) Some surprised me in that the more “serious” ones get more love, but then again, you people are frugal with feedback and I have no idea what you like.
However, I forgive you because small random acts of kindness make me feel like a better person.
So even though they’re not my “best” posts or even close to my favorites, here are the ones with the most comments:

And I’m the one who has issues?
At any rate, I thank you for reading my rambles and invite you to subscribe and continue to join me for the next 365 days—or until I run out of things to say, which could be much sooner than that or an excruciatingly longer period of time more than that.
It’s really anyone’s guess.
But upcoming posts include my Olympic dreams, a vacuum and an inconvenient truth–not all at the same time.
Here’s to 2014.
