Private Blogs

-


Ok ladies. You can't get me hooked on your blogs and then make it private. Therefore yanking yourself away from me so suddenly. I'm not sure what Jill said or what has caused this sudden rash of needed privacy but it's just not nice.

I'm sorry I've been a bad blogger and haven't read some of your blogs in 2 weeks. I got caught up in a book and some needed girls nights. I am repentant and am trying my best to catch up.

Therefore, if you read my blog regularly, odds are I read yours and expect an invite! You can e-mail me at laurie[at]turksworks[dot]com. That's my personal e-mail.

It looks like I've already missed the deadlines to contact you personally, like yours Donna & Jen. So if you have a private blog invite me dadgum it. I miss you, I really do.

The password protect thing is so MEAN! don't they know blogs are all about spying? if you ask for the password the spying high is negated! Plus, how can old boyfriends find you and see how cute you still are? OK, I may have a blogging problem

I hate private blogs for two reasons.

1. It makes me think I need to go private for safety sake, which I don't want to do.

2. I'm not allowed in!

Glad you are public! And love your place mats, by the way. They are gorgeous!

What's up with that??
I have a hard time with the whole private blog thing. Maybe it's because none of my "real life friends" blog so much (they think they have better things to do- the nerve!!)so I know no one would check mine out if it was private. And I'm all about lurking. It stinks when you see a sweet comment and try to trace it and it's private.
AMEN sister....and would someone please tell us what all the pandemonium is all about?

i was thinking about going private, but decided i don't want to be shut out from other people. so i leave out there for everyone to see, including stalkers.

LOL!!!! The picture cracked me up!

I got a not so nice comment one time on my blog and it kinda shook me up. However, in a couple of days I was over it and kept blogging.

I kind of understand the privacy thing, but then again I want to read about the going-ons of everyone I have gotten to know!

YOU HAVE THE LONGEST TOUNGE!!

I thought private blogs were for people who had enough friends and didn't want anymore...hence why I don't have a private blog, BUT once I've got enough cool friends I'm going to cut off all you weirdos for sure!

Seriously though I get the weird comment issue that's why I have my comments moderated. Has anyone else been blog spammed or is it just me?

Hmm. Interesting perspective. I think the fact that my blog is private makes me feel safer to record more personal thoughts.

I know I just started visiting some that you actually have to register for in order to leave a comment and then you get an email and you have to confirm. Seems like too much trouble to me. I enjoy the process of reading, visiting and having people visit me and so LOVE random comments from BLOGS I've never heard of and as you can tell from my list of FAVORITES I've been around.
Have a great weekend!
Blessings,
Sandy :)

Blogging 101 - What Not To Do

Since I just did a post to welcome a bunch of new bloggers, I thought I'd give our newbies some good tried and true: Blogging 101 -What NOT to do! Yes, this is unsolicited advice from yours truly, but I think it's about time someone addresses the issues. #1. Don't get green with envy , Blenvy it's coined, while reading other's blogs. According to CJane , "It usually comes from reading a blog that emphasizes my insecurities." Well said blogger guru. I couldn't agree with you more. Please remember that each post is just a moment of that person's day/week. Instead, just be happy that something amazing happened to your fellow blogger. Be inspired by them! If you really feel the need, use that insecurity to make a change in your own life and do something similar. #2. If people don't update their blog roll by adding your name under 'Friends & Family' don't get your feelings hurt . It's simply a nice gesture, forgotten. Seasoned b...

Craft Closet Make Over

I've finally done it. After 2 years of living in this house, I've finally finished organizing the last closet in my home. This is the guest room closet that doubles as my "craft" closet. You could barely consider it a walk-in closet, but with 2 new shelves my man built for me over the weekend, it's got just enough space for what I need. Closet Before Closet Before - complete chaos ! After - view from hall (I used a different camera because mine is still broken. It was so hard to get these pics the space is so small. I hope you can get the idea.) Small shelf with hanging space for guests clothes - just above the door that goes to the attic. I spray painted 2 of these tins pink and glued flowers onto the other 3. Top Shelf Middle, 2 new shelves that Jason made and I painted white. I added these "curtains" to cover the other white bins and to make the space less messy. I used 2 tension rods and they open up in the middle. I was inspired by this craft room ...

I can't believe it, as of Tuesday, I have been blogging for one year! On the outside not much has changed: I have 3 boys, live in the same house, my man has the same job, and I still go to Mavens, book club, and dinner club with the same fab friends. But in reality a lot has changed: * Davis has braces * Davis is now medicated * Dylan has been diagnosed with ADHD and is now medicated {{a hit to my ego}} * Finished Mommy & Me gymnastics with Drake * Drake is talking a little * Drake is in a big boy bed - although still not sleeping through the night * Jason's going to school to get his MBA * Executive Homemaker which took over a year to design and 5 years as a concept is 15 months old and has 2,333 members and growing at a rate of 300+ new members every month. * Executive Homemaker's online store has grown from three to 26 Mom- prenuers ! * Tip Junkie is 11 months old * My house is a little prettier and more organized * My Dad is divorced * My brother Scott came home...
