Poll results:

I asked my readers which meme they'd most like to see me posting on a regular basis. I realized I was too random with my memes and decided I just wanted to dedicated time to one, plus my mailbox post. 

Here's the results:

• Waiting on Wednesday (9 votes)
• Follow Friday (1 vote)
• Teaser Tuesday (2 votes)
• It's Monday, What Are You Reading? (2 vote)
• WWW Wednesdays (1 vote)
• No More Memes (2 votes)

So, WOW is the clear winner. That means I'll be participating in that meme every Wednesday from now on! Maybe I'll switch it up every month? I'll see how things go!
