Fortunately I am beginning to become more popular but is hard to lose that intimatcy between my readers and I.<br /><br />I ask them for patience as I do plan on answering their comments or at least commenting on their blogs. I am a stickler for that! My laptop crashed almost a month ago and I swear I am stll not caught up, plus I AM sick.

I enjoy these friendships very much. I would be so sad if someone was trash-talking me. And you're right - computers go on the fritz, people get the flu, babies don't sleep...who knows what another person is going through that they aren't blogging about that might lead them to not comment. <br /><br />A previous commenter said something about blogging being a part-time job and I think that is a fair estimation! I don't think I can put more 'work' into it with the full-time job I have now. I'll stay small a while longer ;) <br /><br />I just re-read this and I feel like I'm all over the place, so sorry about that! Too tired to fix it and if I close the window I won't be back to try again for many days (work-week starts tomorrow, Ada's birthday this weekend...you know how it goes).Peeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01707172260314720194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027534132693377698.post-1812236766392823242011-06-10T21:47:21.173-04:002011-06-10T21:47:21.173-04:00I don't think I could ever do #3 even if I wan...I don't think I could ever do #3 even if I wanted to.

Frustrating. <br /><br />But your post is great and made me feel better because I have been one of those that has had a hard time keeping up with comments. I have been using my google reader to read blogs and I need to make time to visit blogs so I can comment. I always say I will go back but then I just run out of time these days. Here's to sitting outside being lifeguard to the kiddie pool and maybe having some time :)For the Love of Naps - Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12694659976017646924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027534132693377698.post-67474710458626566552011-06-08T12:36:46.208-04:002011-06-08T12:36:46.208-04:00LOVE this list.

I think it's always important to remember WHY we blog and to hold on to the good friends we've made in the blogosphere. And to treat them kindly.
