I'm a giver. I give and I give and I give. And what do I receive in return? Nothin.
What do I give, you ask?!
Well, if you must know, I have THREE blogs--THREE! How many blogs do YOU have?! That takes a lot of time people! (Even though the craft blog I have hasn't been updated in weeks, and is still sporting a "fall" colored theme...) And I go to other people's blogs and read them, and laugh with them, and get uplifted by them--its exhausting! I gotta tell you, its a lot of effort I go through for perfect strangers.
Plus, I work! (part-time) And thats rough! I give a little piece of my sanity every day I go into work. Because those children are stealer's, they take all the patience I have AND drain me of energy! Every day I work, I give up being normal. (Atleast every once in awhile I get some sanity/love/patience back when they do something great! Phew for that.)
Every Frimaturday, I donate money to overgrown house plants. They're too big to stay inside, yet not outside material. Its a very sad case, and like I said, I'm a giver, so I donate. Good thing Frimaturday's don't come around very often though, because those plants demand a lot of money and I'm poor!
Probably the most awesome thing I give is to my kids. Whenever my kids' have poopy diapers, I change them! I do! It may not happen right away, but eventually that poop will be removed. Without sounding too conceited, I think thats pretty spectacular! As far as the giving department goes, I don't know if you can get much better than that.
I just wanted you to know what kind of person I am. A giver. Thats all you need to know, I give.
Now give me some freakin' comments people! For the love... :)

You are so funny! You are like a stand-up comedian! Just keep commenting on the blogs of others and writing great posts (and keep being a giver b/c bloggists love that!) and your audience will grow. If you link to other blogs, either b/c you are handing out awards or whatever, they will notice that people are coming to their blog from your blog and that will deff get their attention. Find blogs that have Mr. Linky where you add a link of your site to whatever it is they are doing--(sometimes it is everyone having a giveaway or writing a post on a certain subject, or whatever). Are you signed up with MMB? How about bloggers annex? Have you checked that out? www.bloggersannex.com. I started blogging in April and had 0-2 comments on every post for a very long time. Also, if you write posts that contain a question, a lot of times people will comment when otherwise they wouldn't. There--that's all the unsolicited advice I have. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the frimaturday thing. What's a frimaturday?
ReplyDeleteHaha Thanks Heidi, I meant to totally give you a shout out, because you are awesome, but then I realized I posted this to my family blog and had to fix that. Now I'm a little weirded out. :)
