The Bloggodessbroker herself did it.  Others have done it.  I guess I can do it, too.  So here goes . . .   Sunday, momentous day that it was, was devoted to slothdom on my other blog.  It talked about resting and visiting one of St. Paul's great parks, Como Park.  What the readers of my other blog didn't know is that I was setting that post up as the brunt of the joke of this post on Active Rain.  Truly, on my REAL blog I haven't been slothful, nor have I been monkeying around.  Sunday, August 5, was the day my 500th post was written for Real Estate Snippets.

Since I've not been slothful or monkeying around, I thought I deserved a bit of congratulations.  Congrats to me!  I really truly made it to 500 posts.  Of course, that's nothing compared to Ardell and Greg Swan writing 100 posts in 24 hours, but I live among the normal people who have interruptions and fatigue to contend with.  I'll take my kudos where due!

Has it been easy?  At first it was.  At first it was all fun and games.  It was new.  It was creative.  It was personal.  Then I started to find out things I should include like key words, local content, focus, organization, SEO, and all that business stuff.  My muse ran away pulling her hair out.  She "just can't work under that kind of pressure".  So she left me holding the bag (or blog).  All that knowledge, pinging, writing, fatigue, business distractions,  real estate sales, real estate problems, commissions being made came to rest solely on my shoulders.  Responsibility for all that stuff was especially bad with a missing muse.

It's been 18 months, a year and a half. since I wrote my first entry.  It seems like an eternity ago.  Five hundred entries seems like a lot, but it's just a drop in the bucket.  I've got years of this ahead of me!  I think I'll go take a nap!
