This week I applied for the Top Travel Blogger of Calgary. Unfortunately I didn't make it to the top five and get myself into a spot that I could have been voted for. The good news is that I am ok with that, I even voted for one of the people that did make it. I think the thing for me was to not make it in necessarily, but to just apply. It was a non paid position, but the winner gets free tickets to events and restaurants all over Calgary, and then they blog about it. I would have been good at it, but I am not bitter or upset at all.
One of the reason's that I kind of wanted that spot was just so that people saw my stuff. Yeah, it kind of bugs me that I have very few followers and that my blog is not all that popular. I mean really, shouldn't I have gone viral by now? How does that even happen anyway? Some of the things that go viral are just....for lack of a better word...dumb. There was a girl singing a song, I won't name any names as I have forgotten hers, but I didn't think she was all that good. And she sang a song that had words that I don't even think she knew the meaning of. I don't think she knew the real meaning of the song for that matter. But she was a kid and she sang, big deal! That went viral? Come on!
So maybe I am a bit bitter, but that's not because I didn't win a spot, it's not! It's just that I kind of want people to read my blog and have it make them think something new. Does that make sense? Well it's my blog and it makes sense to me, so there!
Ok, so I went on a bit of tangent, but that's how crazy this week has been. We've been eating supper at 9pm most nights, the kids haven't gotten nearly enough sleep, I am so confused all the time, I'm not sure where I am most of the day! And I think I forgot how to drive well. I parallel parked today and it was not pretty. I am usually so good at that! Tomorrow will be good, I will get my errands done and I will be one day closer to vacation. I will breathe and be calm, until the next chaos storm hits!
