I feel giggly for tricking you all! How so?
The last few weeks I have a bit of a hard time feeling like no one really cares. Yes, I know my kids and husband and some close friends, but ...the rest of you...the ones that never leave comments, but still want to know about my life...you.
I was telling my friend about how sad I was because I thought I had been a good friend to people but wondered why they didn't keep in touch. They keep in touch with other friends, why not me? What is wrong with me? (Yes, I know I am terribly insecure at 44, and it is embarrassing).
I need you--it really makes my day when people show me I am worth their time (my love language). It only takes a minute and you don't have to write more than one sentence. It is better than an email in some ways because I don't feel like I have to write back a lengthy response about things that I have already posted.
I know I am rambling...anyhow, I found on my friend Angi's blog a counter to see how many people were actually coming and added it to mine (and that helped to sooth me because the numbers were going up fast.)
Angi then told me about a widget that records where everyone visiting is from. I added it and now I know!!! Ha Ha Ha. I caught you lurkers!
Please leave me a comment once in a while. I will make my day!
Posted by Krista at August 21, 2008 03:46 PMDo a sense a thrill of excitement from technological advancement? I checked out Angie's Blog -- no wonder I loved her as Chelsea's Activity Day leader! One of these days I'll have to seriously consider a blog. I do love the connectedness they provide to an otherwise busy life. If I just didn't have the issue of confidentiality and security to seriously respect!
Posted by: Dana at August 21, 2008 05:52 PMI love seeing who's been on my blog. I too wish I knew who "stalked" my blog. I've been a bit more bold lately and have said hi to those I've stalked. It took a lot and it's been fun to get their comments back on my blog.
Posted by: Traci at August 21, 2008 06:03 PMYes, I am a lurker. I read you every day, but I hate to write. I will try to do better.

You crack me up! Love the widget. Seriously...Here's some love for you! (((HUGS!))) Thanks for the meme!
I have been lurking for a few days lol. I sure do miss you and your family!

Posted by: Anna at August 24, 2008 07:18 AMYou have NOT changed a bit...hee hee. I'm glad you haven't changed and I'm glad I was busted. But usually I am one of those who leaves a message for ya! I'm back from vacation and so I'm checking up on everyones blogs. It looks like I've got a few more entries of yours to catch up on!

So true! I honestly didn't get it until I started a blog...I find myself checking several times a day to see if anyone has left comments (how crazy is that?)
You are so wonderful and love having this way to keep up with you and your sweet family.
Lots of love,
Marnie
