Angie, I just wanted you to know I am adevoted follower since…I can’t remember when but Meridith was just a little baby. I have always loved your sense of humor and stories. I hope you don’t drop off. I think when you went to that group of people posting is when you lost a lot of followers. I didn’t particular like that format. Anyhow, keep it up!

Haha, I am a swirly-striper too! I just found out what it meant two months ago…too bad, I wanted swirls but I got orange-scented air freshener.

What is it about this time of year and bloggerly angst? I’ve been suffering from it, too, despite the fact I’m pretty happy with how things have been going. I just about up and quit a few days ago. For reals!

Oh, I hope you don’t step away completely. I got all panicky the last time you took a leave of absence. So much so I emailed you and invited you to stay in my home if you were ever in the area. A complete internet stranger. Umm yeh, sorry about freakin’ your shiznit there.

Write when you get the hankerin’. You’ll always have blog fans (who want you to sleep in their bed). ;-)

I am with you on the detailing confusion! I totally thought (up until a year ago) it was a process of pimping out your car with painting stripes! I wonder why so many of us were confused!?

Ah, yes. The lovely time on Saturday. You are fondly in my brain (but not my tummy – that cupcake didn’t make it back to Springfield with me but I’m sure there are crumbs in the back of my friend’s car) and I walked away feeling so relieved that you are in the same boat. This THING we get to do…we get to do it because we started doing it. Simple as that.

I’ve been planning a long, thank-you-ish email about our encounter if I can get through it without the sappy part. You should just expect the sappy anyway.

You’re one of my favorite writers. You have been for a long time.

Susan C…”Detailing the house”…a most excellent concept! You’re definitely onto something. I’m thinking twice a year or so would be about right.

And FP, WHAT?

OK, fine. Step back (yet again ;-) if you must. You know we’ll still hang around here in the shadows, checking often for any hints and allegations you might care to toss our way.

But really…I mean unless you’ve got some sort of side-project going on that we don’t know about…you know, like a nightly family journal kind of thing…wouldn’t you be doing a long-term service to your family to record their daily doings for a summer?

Hey, I know! How about having MC and Harper do the blog for a few months? You could interview them every evening — sort of a running “highlights of the day” kind of thing.

I bet they would love it. And the memories? Priceless!

Just last week I came across a slip of paper in older brother’s grade-school handwriting: “If you won’t play with me on the driveway today you will never be allowed to ride my bike ever ever again no matter what!”

Had I been a blogger 30 years ago, that one would already have been committed to posterity!

Step back if you must, but save those scraps of paper, people!

isn’t it just like us Americans to feel like everything has to get BIGGER!! and BETTER!!!? Seems to me that not everyone needs to aspire to more. You’re just fine how you are.

Now if you want to try to make millions blogging, I’ll keep reading. But I don’t read blogs for the ads (and have never once clicked on an ad).

Actually, I love your voice and I’ll keep reading anyway.
