That baby widget in my sidebar is starting to disturb me. You load the page and it suddenly drops down instead of just being there, and it looks way too skinny. I know it probably is skinny right now, but couldn't they make it... I dunno... cuter?
You know that really annoying song by Natalie whoever from 10,000 Maniacs where all she says is "thank you thank you lalalalalala?"
I think I finally figured out what inspired her to write that song. She finally decided one day to get with the program and start using a reader for all the blogs she reads, which meant she had to go through a gi-frickin-normous list of blogs and copy and paste all their URL's into the reader, and of course feel compelled to read and comment on the newest posts while she was at it.
Which is what I just did.
So a big huge
THANK YOU
to everyone who has not posted in the last 24 hours or so. You have given me a greater gift than you realize. A hearty and hale "lalala!" to each and every one of you.
And those that did post?
You know who you are.
Want to get on my blogroll? Here's how. It's very simple. When you visit my blog, leave a comment. I visit every commenter's blog and, presuming I don't find it bothersome* I bookmark it in my browser. The blog then goes into a sort of trial period. I visit it regularly, and as long as you continue to visit and comment on my blog I will continue to visit and comment on yours. If you mysteriously disappear after you've been added to the blogroll, your link may mysteriously disappear as well. ;)
I can't know you've visited unless you comment, so comment! Well, I could reverse your i.p. from my statcounter and track you down and find satellite images of your house, but that would be really creepy.
If you've been commenting and are wondering why you're not on the blogroll, it's only because I'm lazy. Shoot me a reminder. I try to update it once a month or so, but I've got hair to wash, earwax to pick, nails to file... you know how it is.
*I have no problem with swearing, adult stuff, controversy, or non-PC stuff. What bothers me is negativity and closed-mindedness.

Thanks for the comment! (big cheesy grin)
I do not know how I lived before my Google Reader, next to my gmail widget and twitter and google talk and weather.com, all on on my iGoogle homepage, in my little brown house next to the little brown mouse.
Damn! That pastry looks good! We had a new bakery open today right across the street from the campus where I work, and many of us found an excuse to get over there and pick up a goodie or two, Yum! I like your pic; it is the kind that would make a great image in a Fortune Teller brochure! Those penetrating eyes!
Wow, I'm surprised I wasn't the LAST ONE to finally copy everything over to a reader. I finally broke down and did it just last week and I can't decide if it makes things better or worse. I mean on the good side, at least I don't miss anything. On the bad side, I don't miss ANYTHING.
THAT IS ONE HUGE BLOGROLL YOU'VE GOT!!
I have been with two different readers--Bloglines breaks all the time and I had to stop because I was missing too many peoples feeds. Google reader though doesn't seem to miss and that "Mark All as Read" feature is very useful, especially when everyone gangs up on you.
As for the song? I think anything that gets stuck in your head like that song from the Wizard of Oz or kids songs counts as most annoying.
I adore my google reader. However, it means that I am probably not commenting as much as I used to.
I am trying to take some extra time to leave comments on places I like.
I will be bugging Keisha all weekend to see if she has news. ;)
I agree. That baby looks scary. THANK YOU (lalala) for bringing it up before I did.
Welcome to the world of readers, congratulations, you've just regained hours of your life! I'd be lost without mine.
PS Yup, that is one creepy looking fetus in that widget. Not realistic particularly and definitely too skinny to be cute.
I may have to start using a reader.
Yes, but signing on to a reader forces me to admit I'm addicted...
You know I always appreciate your comments, Marie. There really should be an award or something for commentors. Annoying song? Anything from children's daytime tv, plus either Willy Wonka movie.
Kenna- I know what you mean, sometimes I'm glad that I only have to read the top post, leave a comment, and move on. Reader won't let you get away so easy.
Stephanie- the only person I'll be telling the news to is Brad, everyone else, even family, will have to check the blog. Kinda chaps my hide that only two or three people from my own fmaily read it, and very few of my IRL friends, so I'm leaving them with no choice. ;)
I guess that means you don't find my blog worthwhile huh cause I think I comment here enough :) It's okay. I still enjoy your blog.
I said "other" because I've not heard of any of these!
How very devious of you, good way to get them to read it though.
This set up sounds familiar. I don't use readers though; I like wasting time...
I don't always click through from my reader when I'm feeling less sociable, but I usually say hey to you.
Playful- had you bookmarked, but hadn't updated yet. Consider yourself added.
Witchypoo- You comment plenty, probably more than I do!
You're right about that baby widget... it is creepy. And I think I just saw the umbilical cord floating around unattached. Either that or it has a spare arm - either way... weird.
