BUSTED!!!!!

See the title of this post? "BUSTED"?? Well people (at least the majority of you) that means you! Yes! YOU! You see, I spend hours each time I post, in an effort to capture the fun memories I have with my family and friends in my life. I pick only the best pictures (just kidding :-) and type the stories in the best way I can, despite of my lack of editorial genious, so I can capture what really happened, and recreate the memory for myself and those who were there. It's always a struggle because I also want to CREATE it for those who weren't there. Even if the reader can catch a small glimpse of the day, or event or emotion, I feel I've accomplished something. Before I hit "PUBLISH", I read, and re-read everything. Some, I admit, lack the pizazz I wish they had, while others, in my opinion, are brilliant works of writing :-) (Like the "Blog Stalker vs. Blog Hopper" post from last March, or the "Holding Hands" post from this past January). Still, once that "PUBLISH" button has been hit, I'm out there, for all to read and COMMENT ON!!!! And this, my fine readers, is where the "BUSTED" part comes in!!!! The other day I posted two entries. Not my best, but a quick update of what's been happening in my life. After just a few days, I've been wondering why I went public again. I seem to be getting less comments now than when I was private. "Hmmmmmm" I thought to myself, "I guess no one is reading my blog....maybe going private made them forget about me, and now that I'm public, they don't care...maybe the "Pizazz lacking" entries bored them all away....hmmmmm, what could it be?" In my confusion as to why the lack of readers/comments, I remembered my blog tracker. "This will give me the answers I seek", I thought. And so it did! Yes people, IT DID!!!! And now I know WHO looked at my blog, WHEN they looked at it and most importantly, who DID NOT leave a comment! On Tuesday I had 75 hits! SEVENTY FIVE!!! And look at my comments, what is there now 2? 3? Talk about a heart break!! 2 or 3 comments off of SEVENTY FIVE HITS! I have to say, "Charleyyy, That weally hooorts". (click here to understand that if you are confused) I could name the "non comment leaving" readers and list you ALL, but for now, I won't :-). I understand that there are reasons for not commenting like "nothing to say", "no time", "just getting a quick update", "not interested in the post at ALL" but come on people, those excuses only last so long! I know because I use them too. I'm guilty of not always commenting on your blogs, but I try to, at least every few entries. But right now my wounded ego can't handle excuses for much longer! So, even though I know who you are, I will forgive you, and hope that soon, VERY soon, my comment #'s will rise, and I'll know that you are out there. Even if you just comment once every 3 or 4 posts, or even if your comment simply says "I was here", I'll accept that! I'll just be happy to know you are there! So for the sake of a hormonal, crazy, 7 month (and counting) pregnant lady, who has to defend her blog to her doubting husband ("you have no comments, no one is reading your blog") PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT!! :-) (Do I sound desparate? Well I am!!! Does admitting that your desparate, really make you desparate? Hmmmm, a post for another day :-)
