You know the days I'm talking about...
back when all your girlfriends had blogs and they actually posted regularly.
Back when friends actually left comments.
Back when you could fill your need for social interaction without even getting dressed for the day.
Where did those days go?
I miss those days.
I feel like the lone blogger left talking to myself, seeing how most of my friends have moved on to bigger and better things.
Well, not me! I'm still blogging and...
reminiscing about the good ol' days.
Okay joking aside, I was looking back on some of my old post today and enjoying reading the comments left by friends. It warmed my heart and brought back some good memories.
So where did all my blogging buddies go?
I blame facebook!
Facebook stole the good ol' days right out from under me.
Blasted facebook! It's just not the same.

I know how you feel. I often think about this and it gets me annoyed. I never get comments on my blog. Like ever. I barely got any when blogging was big though! Lol.
And I also believe its Facebook's fault. It's the quicker, instant gratification/social high go to thing and blogging is fading away... Unless of course you have one of those blogs that had gotten hundreds of followers and then they still get maybe 2-3 comments a post.
Anyway. I feel ya. That's part of why I made my blog "private" ....that way I don't feel as bad if I don't ever have comments! Lol
I hear ya! I have totally lost my motivation when it comes to blogging because I feel like nobody gives a rip about what I write. I keep trying to remind myself that it's not for them anyway, it's for my family, but still . . . For the record I still like your blog, and one of these days I'm going to start posting on my blog again.
Nancy! I read your blog! I love to see you and your family. Its fun to see what an amazing mother you are and how well mannered your children are. I always feel funny making a comment, I dont want anyone to think that I am a crazy stalker!- Selena (one of the old neighors)
Selena - you are funny. You didn't have to clarify who you are. I knew! :) Thanks for leaving a comment!
And Tara and Jenn you too! Thanks ladies...it's startin' to feel like the good ol' days again.
Tara, BTW-I miss stalking your blog now that you've gone private. I loved seeing your photos and watching those little/big boys grow up.
I too feel like no one reads what I write, so why bother. But in my defense, I did post today! Don't worry, I still read your blog!
I'm still here, just haven't blogged. I read your blog though :)
Like everyone else...I feel ya. It took you many years to get me to start blogging and then I couldn't stop. I would spend hours posting on my own and then blog surfing. It was such a big part of my life that it was in my dreams. I loved getting and writing comments too. Those really were the "Good Ol' Days". We used to have this blog circle, then like you said, facebook took off and it was bye bye to blogging. I stopped blogging regularly because I didn't have time. Now I'm so far behind I may never catch up but I continue to keep writing the posts in my head determined to get them back on the internet and then, like you printed in a book. Once I started printing my blog into a book and using it as family history it became easier for me to accept that people were not reading or commenting anymore because it became more for me then for them. Keep up the wonderful work. I LOVE reading your blog and promise to comment more often like I used to.
