Checkin' The Stats – May 2008

What the heck is happening to this year? It's flying by so fast, before you know it we'll be electing the 44th president of the United States. May wasn't too exciting around here. We found out we weren't geting as much as we thought for our "stimulus" package, one of my wife's aunts has stage 4 cancer, and it's going to cost almost $9,000 to fix my front teeth.

Let's take a look at the stats for May.

The top 10 referring sites for May were:

Musing Minds
Sister Toldjah
Insignificant Thoughts
