natalie's sentiments: Excuse me, but do we know each other?

Friday, October 16, 2009

Excuse me, but do we know each other?

The other day I ran into an old friend and I was thrilled to find out what she was up to. What I was shocked to find out was that she already knew all about me. She reads my blog. "What?!? Why have you never commented?"

"Oh, I'm not a commenter."

Ok, I totally understand not commenting. When you read all your blogs in google reader, it can be a bit of a pain. There are several blogs I read religiously and never comment. (Shame on me, I know.) However, I do have a little bitty favor....

If I actually know you, meaning we have met before or I know your spouse, could you comment on this post and let me know who you are? Maybe add how we know each other. My mom would get a kick out of that. She loves reading the comments on my posts. Even if I know that you read my blog, or if you comment regularly, still comment if you don't mind. I want to update my "friends list" as I have several outdated links. Even if you don't have a blog, comment so I know you are out there. You can always comment anonymously and include your name.

OR......If we've never met, but you found my little blog through someone I do know, let me know that too.

Basically, I'm curious who is reading.......It will make my day, I promise :)

Side note - interested in seeing what a true drama queen is like? Check out this video of Lydia on my family blog..... hilarity.

Lisa said...: Hi, I'm Lisa from Glendale, Arizona. Stay-at-home mama of four. I can't remember how I found your blog, but have checked in now and then for a few months now. I love your style and color and have found some fun entertaining ideas here...Plus, it's always fun to see how other moms do it! My blog is private, and if I the "permissions" portion of my blogger wasn't down, I would add you...; October 19, 2009 at 1:18 AM

Big Toe Mom said...: I read your blog all the time too. I dont remember how I found it, but I love it. I have a daughter now 14, who was so like Lydia.... they could be twins, really, except she has brown hair. but the princesss, and dance and sillyness. I also just love to see you enjoy being a mom! Its a hard job, probably the hardest job I have ever had, but so worthwhile. and the blessings, ahhhhamzing. I live in Phoenix, and I am LDS too. and so I stalk. not on purpose. just cuz, I try to read your blog before I drive to seminary.
p.s. My son LOVES Colin videos!!!; October 20, 2009 at 11:51 AM
Jessica said...: I see you almost every Sunday if the kiddos allow us to be at church during the same time. However, I feel like I knew you prior to meeting you because of Wendy Lou :) Actually, I remember the first time I met you. I ran into Harrison Bay's sacrament meeting to give Wendy something and you pulled me aside and asked me if I was Jessica or Wendy's sister-in-law...I don't remember exactly. We had just moved to Chat-town. Oh, and a few weeks later we went walking at the park and I tried to kill Lydia with my PB&J sandwich. :); October 20, 2009 at 2:06 PM
Amy F. said...: Hi, I'm a reader. :) I know you through my husband Jesse, you were friends in high school and through church. He was fortunate to have such a great group to hang with. You're on my blogger friends list, so I look whenever you post something new. I have no idea how you make the time to blog so often, but it's fun to read. It's cheerful and beautiful. I'm wishing you more sleep in the nights to come...; October 21, 2009 at 2:53 AM
