Bloggy Thoughts

I read a lot of blogs - parenting blogs, mommy blogs, heck, even some infertility blogs (I'm not infertile, but I like the sarcastic, snarky tone some manage to achieve). But I'm not a good commenter. I have a couple blogs I comment regularly on (looking at you, Les and CMHL) but that's about it. I feel weird commenting somewhere I've been lurking for awhile - like I've been eveasdropping and it'll be noticed if I all of a sudden make a comment. "Oh, so she finally decides to comment and this is it?" Or the blogger has a regular group of commenters and I'm not part of that group, so I shouldn't comment.

Or am I just bringing all my emotional baggage from high school with me (that I can't be part of any popular group because I'm not cool enough, or in the case of blogs, a good enough writer?). I'm also sometimes afraid to share personal experiences because I don't want the author of the blog to think I'm trying to out do them. (I'm not neurotic, I just play one on the internet).

Or am I thinking too much?

Before I do anything else I want to give you a big THANK YOU for paying attention to me. It's very appreciated (((((HUGS))))).

I just started blogging at the end of May and you have to just comment. Doesn't matter if it's a tight-knit group or not. I have found if you keep at it they will reciprocate. Good luck.

the more comments you leave, the more comments you get. BUT, do you really wants tons of people taht you don't "know?" not that you know us, but we are safe! or at least I am! haha...

I greatly enjoy your blog, as I am also loosely affiliated w/ the insurance industry ;-)
