totally stealing this post

For those of you who read my sister's blog, I am admitting straight out that this post is a complete rip off of her idea. Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery and all but there is another reason too...more on that in a moment.

First...shoes...yes, she posted her shoes - she does that a lot and her pics always look amazing, whereas this is the first photo of my foot apparel that I have blogged about. I thought the theme of the photo was a good one, as was the quote, considering that we have received more than 10 cm of snow in the last hour and it is still falling!

As to the other reason...my sister gave me a heads up this week that you can check stats on sites that are directing hits to your blog. Off I happily went to check that out and nodded and smiled as I recognized most of them. But imagine my horror when I clicked on one and found that it was NOT a nice site at all - I mean, not at ALL. So I am taking a tip from my sister and moving my previous post and photos away from the top of the page. While I am not linking to my sister's blog here (those of you who know her know where to find her), I am directly quoting because she said it perfectly:

...there have been some icky sites I've been getting a lot of unwelcome hits from this week, and I wanted to get Sweetpea (and the dynamic duo) off the top third of the page. Shoe fetishes I can deal with and understand but if you come here to look at my kid(s) this site is going private. Go elsewhere for your kicks.

Also, to my regular readers and my family, thank you for visiting. Those of you who don't usually comment, please feel free to say hello so that I can be assured of your good will to this blog's author and contents. Thank you.

So there it is in a nutshell. The internet is an amazing place that brings us all closer together but it can also let others who are not so nice into our world no matter how careful we are.

What a shame.
