Do you think I do this for my HEALTH?

OK, My friends . . . You are my friends, right? Between 30-60 of you check this blog everyday. You must be friends, or else you're scary stalkers.

Hey, I understand about stalking. I stalk one of my sister-in-law's friends and occasionally make comments on her blog ( http://www.tintletown.blogspot.com/ ) She's hilarious and good for a daily laugh. On the 16th, she posted about running out of her house to yell at a speeding motorcyclist. I was proud of her, she makes a good "Momma Bear."

I was also saddened by her post. I realized we could never really be friends. I'm a speed demon and she would come to hate me, because of my driving. Our friendship is doomed.

OK, so friends/stalkers, you need to do a better job of making comments on yesterday's post! If I have between 30-60 hits a day, I should expect at least 20 comments. That's not too much to ask . . . is it?

Maybe you didn't see yesterday's post? Now is your chance! Please! Read, view photos, make decisions for me and comment. Tell me which photos are best, to the unbiased eye.

While you're at it . . . if you missed the post on the 16th, it's about my brother Michael's engagement. And read his fiance's blog, from the same day ( http://www.beccapr.blogspot.com/ ) She posted about the proposal and it was really romantic and cute. My other brother, Eric was there, taking pictures of the whole thing. Good Job, Mike!

Back to you, my dear, dear readers.

Don't let me down, I've been giving you, my devoted readership a way to waste your time, DAILY!! How's that for a little guilt trip!?

I NEED your COMMENTS and if your excuse is that you don't have a google account, all you have to do is type in your email and make up a password and "code name." If your name was Julie Doll or Wendy Beasley for example, you might not want to use your REAL names, so you could call yourself: "Jenny's Momma Misses Her" and "Kym's Mommy is Crying" (respectively) That would be cool. . . IF your name was Julie Doll or Wendy Beasley.

If your name was Henriette Irissarry or Linda Pebet, you could call yourselves (respectively) "Tanta Henri" or "Auntie Linda" and you would finally be entered into the wonderful world of BLOGGING Comment-dom.

Come-Mon! You read about the "Village Idiarts" almost daily and yet, you remain hidden behind your computer, not even giving me the satisfaction of your comments. Share the LOVE, Ladies!

DO YOU THINK I DO THIS FOR MY HEALTH?

NO, I do it ALL for attention.

And Comments.

And I REALLY WANT SOME for yesterday's post.

Ok, I'll comment!! And it looks like I get to be first!

You don't know me, but we have friends in common (the deV's, Whoolery, Winn, Richardson, Thompson, Harmon, etc)...which is how I found your blog. And since you occasionally post pictures of people I know, I like to check it! And I remember you, very vaguely, from the stake (yes, I'm an Ex-Oregonian).

So, Hi! Thanks for posting so much! It is fun to have someone who posts regularly!

Amber said...

You are so funny! I commented on the pictures. You are such a devoted blogger. I love logging in everyday to read your blog, I guess that makes me a devoted reader....I will work on the devoted comment leaver. Thanks for the fun and for the comments you leave me!

Sarah,
I finally commented about yesterday. I love reading your posts every day. You're hilarious and so thoughtful. Thanks for the way too nice birthday tribute. I think you have a warped view of me.
LOVE YA!

1. On average, 1 in 10 people leave a comment. If you're me, it's more like 1 in 20.

2. I would never, ever yell at you for driving past my house fast. Okay, maybe I'd yell a little, especially if you hit my kid. But I'd still like you. We can be friends.

3. HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW ABOUT BIG FOOT????

You know I am one of yor dedicated comment leaving fans, so know I'm going to ask for my "reward." Since you have so many readers could you possibly write one of your great post about us wanting to adopt a baby--you know on a day you can't think of any topic to write about? Think about it:)

Jaysonsmom said...

Well now that I have seen your blog for the first time today I will have to become a regular stocker. I don't get to see the kids enough so this will be a great way to see your family grow. And I will try and comment offten. Oh and you do know me this is Angel.

Shane Zundel said...

The voices in my head want me to comment. I am trying real hard to control my fingers....I can't stop them from typing.
I am totally a stalker.
Ok I don't get on the blog very often, and when I do get around to it, you have about 30 blogs to read. So don't feel offended, but I don't read them all. HAHAHA

Andrea said...

I couldn't not comment today even though I cast my vote yesterday. Wow, even I feel a bit guilty, and I comment on most of your posts. Way to work the guilt trip!

Krystal said...

How can you tell how many people look at your blog every day? I'm getting much better at commenting on other people's blogs, because I love comments so much on my blog! :) Thanks for all the comments you leave on mine!

Hey Sarah -- yes, my poem is an original Sue Q, and you have my permission to circulate it throughout the stake! Maybe then some people will look at MY blog, too! ;)

J. Baxter said...

I'm Annie's sister and I read your comments on her Big Foot post. I felt so sorry for a fellow commemt-starved blogger I had to come see your blog and comment. Looks like your little guilt trip is working out for you...hope it keeps up!

Christine said...

so i really hate leaving comments on peoples blogs b/c i like being one of those closet blog stockers but i guess you can track me now..actually i haven't read your blog in weeks and just left you like 4 comments...so you should be proud! And it took up my whole precious nap time! But nonethelsess i love you lots so here is my vote...
Sepia for sure..you can't really see the true blue in her eyes in that picture anyway....then the cheese picture...the growing old...and the cute dimples. Hey..thats the same as my husband...we just have great taste i guess!
