Normally I don't care about stuff like "number of hits" on this site because I don't host ads and traffic doesn't matter one way or the other.
However, my curiosity is piqued when I get an extra 25,000 visitors within an hour, especially when they're all referred here by a Google search.
Is everyone suddenly interested in sock monkey pajamas and stilted conversation with the FedEx guy?
Or did I miss some kind of media mention, in which case can someone clue me in?
(Seriously, if I knew you guys were coming, I'd have wiped up the cat barf.)
(And possibly showered.)
Just go with it. It's awesome.

Remember that old Fabrage Organics shampoo commercial from the 70's (70's!!??!!) "I told two friends and then they told two friends and so on...and so on...and so on...." I am in NY. I was told about you about a year ago by a friend in Texas. Since then, I've told about 20 people to read your books. This is all due to Rebecca from Texas. It's all her doing.

ann coulter has your new book as her recommended summer reading. Perhaps that could be it?

So I googled cat barf cupcakes, sue me.
Not really...I check in here daily.

I don't even think I've hit 25,000 hits in the six years I've been blogging. My poor site would probably implode from all the stress. And no amount of cleaning up would get it ready. :D
Sadly, I have no useful information for you. Sorry!

Dude, I want some of that!
Love your mouth, love your mind, love your books -- I have never, EVER laughed out loud while reading nor have I actually almost choked on anything while reading until you came along.
One word: ROCKSTAR!!!!!!!!!!!

You're welcome.
(Kidding. But seriously.)

25,000 hits? Holy shit! I'm only at 1000+ hits since my blog has been ALIVE! 25K? That almost feels like money - dudette, you might consider putting some advertising on this page. It could be a source of serious income!

Wow! 25,000? Did you check the search words? Can you send maybe 5,000 of them or so my way? :)
