It seems they’ve all decided to stop posting. Or at least many of the ones I enjoy reading on a daily basis. Don’t they know I depend on them for my funny? I don’t have TV after all people! You are my link to the outside world.
I know the blogging community holds such events as awards season and delurking week. But I was unaware that there was such a thing as boycott blogging month. Maybe I’m new enough to the club that I didn’t receive the memo. Or maybe I was skipped over because of my vocal disapproval of the meme tag (is that sacred in blogdom?). But whatever the reason, I was clearly not informed that my regular reads would be dropping off the face of cyberspace.
And then there’s the matter of my commenters. For awhile back there I was feeling really loved. I was even into the double digits a few times. But now I’m seeing numbers so low my not-quite-three-year-old can count them for me. If announcing a pregnancy doesn’t bring on the comments I don’t know what will. I’m not a performing monkey. I’m about out of tricks. What’s the deal?
Hopefully, whatever weird atmospheric anomaly has caused this phenomenon will subside in the near future because this is really starting to mess with my sense of reality. Or, at the very least, my love of escapist entertainment.

There's such a thing as blogging boycott month? They don't tell us newbies anything, do they. Sorry your hits are down. I know how you feel about comments, too.
Hope things pick back up for you!
I didn't know about blogging boycotting month either. I think people just have spring fever and so they are off doing springy things.
I admit I've been a "lurker" on your blog...I'm sorry I always just jump from Nutella's (aka Ciao Bella!) to yours through your comments and since she hasn't been posting (GRRRRRR!!! I'm definitely allowed to growl at her, she's my daughter) I havent' been "lurking" Anyway, I love your blog, you are witty, charming, and very entertaining! What's that saying.....

Give the world the best you have anyway."

I'm sorry. The last 2 weeks of my life have been "out of control" busy. But I'm back and you commented on my new post almost immediately. Thank you so much. I love the support. I haven't read your back posts, since getting back. You're expecting? That's wonderful! Congratulations
I have noticed the same thing on my site and the sites of those I usually go visit too. Hardly anyone posting. Darn. I don't know maybe everyone is just trying to get ready for spring?
Hopefully things pick back up again soon.
i'm here, upping that comment number (and hopefully your ego) by 1!
maybe it's just that it's spring break...?
So, are you pregnant? ;)
That was a funny post. Funny enough to earn you a comment!
Yes, I do feel loved. Yes, I am pregnant (for more detail see the "Because No One Knew THey Should BE Keeping Track" post). And my ego remains as stable as ever :) Thank you to all my blog commeting friends. You all are great!!
Can you tell I had a child pulling on my arm while typing that?
