I’m Number One!
The kids and I were fiddling around today on Google, and I typed in “Mary Sellers” to show them that I’m the #2 entry. Imagine my surprise to see that Google now has me at #1! I’ve passed the cheesy, buxom, horror movie star Mary Sellers! I feel so special. Of the 627 Mary Sellers in the USA, I feel quite honored. (What’s that verse? Hmmm… “Pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit…”)
Play practice went well last night. We had a read through, and I was quite pleased with how everyone sounded. It was quite foolish of me to name one of the characters King Pierre DuCompte Cheverdeux from Chevrotin since four different characters have to introduce him or say his name or his country. Remember, we are from central PA. French accents are not our forte. I’m the worst of the bunch. If you put a gun to my head, I couldn’t fake an accent.20,000 came and went, and I have no idea who earned that illustrious honor. We shall divvy up the prize among everyone who commented on Thursday’s post. You each get a big slice of nothing! (And I’ll have mine with a cup of tea.) Speaking of tea, the orange Starbuck’s tea was okay, but I won’t run out and buy more. Plus, I must have gotten the dribble cup. So, as I sat there before prayer meeting, sipping my tea, I got more and more wet, much to my inept amusement. I took it as evidence that I’m not qualified to drink Starbucks.
Dinner out tonight with friends! Hoo-rah!

Hee-hee! I just tried your game and discovered that I’m the only one that comes up when I google my name. Not totally shocking, though, I guess. I’ve only ever known a few people with my first name, and have yet to meet someone with my last name that isn’t somehow related to my husband.
I came up number one under google as well. I know very few people who spell Stephenie the way my parents did. I was pretty sure I would come up number one too!!
Have fun with your friends tonight. The women at my church are getting together to play Bunco tonight! Should be fun!
Okay, first I googled your name to see what actually came up. Then I googled my name and all these athletic college kids’ names came up. I’m number five and it’s the text of a pleading in a lawsuit that my Beloved and I were involved in that went all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States of America. The Supreme Court refused to hear it and, thus, upheld the lower courts’ rulings dismissing it. To be honest I didn’t really need to be reminded of that tiresome episode in my life. So now I need to become famous for something else so I end up higher on the list than the lawsuit does.
woohoo! the honor is all yours!
headsets are like chocolates…. some people get’em, and some people dont!
Lucky, I love playing the google game with my name, but nothing ever comes up. Consider yourself special!
Sigh. I’m #2. Number 1 is the James Bond villain with the same name. I can’t escape that guy!
good thing you’re the author – it means you can change it. oh, my name doesn’t come up on google, either, but my daughter’s namesake us a middle-aged male ping-pong champion. go figure. ~M.E.
Hey I tried the name game too, I was the only one, I guess my momma was right, the mold was broke with me!
Have a super weekend, Tami
RYC: I think I fixed it. If you have time, would you pop over and see if you can see the pics now? Thanks so much.
And I agree with you on the stamps.. it’s truly not that bad!
Well, thank you so much! I wasnt exactly sure how to get Nan started, just kind of jumped in with a weird “good morning”……And my voice didnt exactly crack like that on purpose….;p Oh yes, Jessica G. and I have dubbed ourselves willing to *attempt* to coach Scott on his French accent, if you want.;)
Well, both my names are pretty common, though I don’t think my name, in reference to me, would be easily found on the Internet. I did check to see how many of me there are in the U. S., and it turns out that there are 995. Hmm.
I only have 8 of me, but Caleb has NONE! Very strange! Enjoy your dinner out!
Tea? I like tea. I think I’ll go have my slice of nothing and some tea.
Yipes! Out of curiosity I decided to look up my name, and. . . well. . . yipes. Hmmm. . .
Thanks so much for letting me know!! I appreciate it!
You go girl #1, Thanks so much for stopping by, have a wonderful weekend, Marlo
Only one of me…. does that give me bragging rights to proclaim how special I am?
Good night dear Mary. No playing with the wax and the spider. God bless you.

Wow, that was fun. There are 849 of me in the USA, but I have the honor of being tops on the Google search engine as well. Of course, I feel a bit vain now…
Here’s a bit more fun – another bit of Fibonacci Poetry:
Last
Night’s
Deli
It was great
Such delicious food
I ate and ate and ate and ate.
Hehehe I guess you get what you pay for. The non dribble cups must be for the regulars… Congratulations for pulling ahead of the cheesy buxom horror movie star. Hope your night out was grand!
Oh my goodness, I had my husband read that, because I am FAMOUS for getting the dribble cups! It is always on the way to church, we arrive and I’m a mess! I’m not even aware of it until my hubby just laughs and shakes his head.
Not sure how you got to be #1, but there must be many of me… I finally found my name(#29)in an online article from LancasterNews (but since I don’t subscribe, I couldn’t read the whole thing). It sounded like it was about homeschooling & property taxes since it said that I had four students in my classroom & they had the right town. Oh! look! I’m also in another article at #31 about cyberschool. It seems that a bookseller, a newspaper review columnist & some poor girl who thinks she was born with my name and looking for her birth-mother all rate better than me.
Hope you enjoyed your dinner last night!
RYC: That college is on a quarter system, and I can get in by spring quarter if I starte moving on it now.
I think they plant dribble cups with the regular ones, and then attach cameras. Then they sit in the back room of Starbucks and giggling madly to themselves as they watch people get bedewed with tea and coffee. So don’t feel bad, Mrs. Sellers….they probably just wanted to get video of the number-one-on-Google lady. ^_^
The basement is now officially clean. Hope you have fun at your bookbinding class.
