The Thing That I Hate About You

I know that I get some traffic on this itty bitty blog o' mine. I average about 30 hits a day, and a good two thirds of those hits are deliberate. The rest are people hitting the 'Next Blog' button, or people just googling, "Mac and Cheese". I'm not sure why anyone does such a vague search, not adding the word 'recipe', or something more specific, but whateves. I'm not here to talk about them.

It's you that I'm pissed at. That's right! YOU! I've got one more full week to go on this Nablopomo thingy, and I've gotta tell ya, the first three weeks have been very unrewarding. I know that people don't really comment on blogs like they used to, but I need external validation! I just do! My dad telling me that SOME of my punch lines are kind of funny is not enough!

I think I make it pretty easy too! I posted my anniversary, and got one comment! One! How hard is it to offer me a generic, congratulatory wish when I spoon feed you the opportunity? Then I posted a picture of my adorable Pumpkin. That should garner a few people commenting on how stunning she is. I got one comment there too, and it was the same person who wished me a happy anniversary! BTW, thanks Petite Gourmand! I'd love to say that my linking to your site will boost your traffic, but who knows with this ungrateful crowd!

So that's my rant. I've got seven more posts to go this month, and I want comments! And if you don't...well...I'm going to only post pictures of my neighbours cats and stories about potty training from here on in! I'll do it too! And maybe a few pictures of clowns as well!

(Also, a shout out to Barrie, Ms Diva, Lacochran, Leighchee, Chantal, 1001 Petals, D, and J for making a half-assed effort. Y'all don't suck as bad as the rest of 'em!)

"Y'all don't suck as bad as the rest of 'em!"

Can I quote you on my resume?

One way to better ensure comments during NaBloPoMo is to comment on other people's blogs who are doing NaBloPoMo.

WOOHOO! I don't suck! That's the kind of validation I'm looking for!

I try not to suck!

I meant to say Happy Anniversary, and comment on a few other posts, but I have a good excuse! I'm holding my newborn son most of the time I get to read blogs, and so can't type very well, can only use a mouse most of the time. Sometimes I think that I have to come back to a post to comment. .. but this is where my excuse becomes weaker and life just gets in the way.

Given your blog entries that detail your satisfaction with your figure, your hubby's awesome bod and your stunning children, I didn't think you were in need of any external validation. I stand corrected!

Fine, you guilted me into commenting. My rule is usually "if I don't have anything intelligent-sounding to say, then don't say anything at all", hence no comments. But you can rest assured that I'm always laughing and snickering and groaning and sympathizing and appreciating where appropriate in response to your posts, even when I don't think of sharing that with you.

waaah waaah waah...

I hear you...i'm too lazy to fix my login to have a real comment, so I stay anonymous and don't comment much!

You know you're funny because I tell you so! I'll have a chat with the other one here too.

re K&L mom: Ms. Mac & Cheese, you know that "the other one" thinks you're hilarii. And I'm not even half kidding too!!
