My Blog Routine

• Wake up early in the morning and think of something that I want to blog about. It usually comes to me immediately. If not, I go to the next step.
• Read all the blogs that I follow
• If what you wrote touches me in some way, like 99% do, I then comment on the blog. If I comment, it's cause I think your post was super cool. I never comment for the sake of commenting.
• After reading all the blogs I follow, I once again ponder what topic I should write about on this day. (This is me. . . pondering)

• Finally, I write my blog post. Usually, it is about the whole growing the family bit, but sometimes, I write about other things in my life as well.
• After writing my post, I then read the blogs that are found on the left hand side of my blog. These are blogs that I would love to be a follower of, but that don't have that option on their blog. (really, I think everyone should have that option)
• After reading the 50+ blogs I follow, and commenting on the ones I feel compelled to comment on, then I feel satisfied about my day as a blogger.
• Then of course I check on blogs what seems like way too freqently to check for updates.

Ah. . . The life of a blogger.

And here are some other interesting blog facts about me:

• If you are waiting on a pregnancy test after a procedure or waiting for a referal, watch out! I will totally stalk your blog. Daily. Several times a day. I LOVE when people get good news and mourn with you when the news isn't so good.
• I love all the blogs I read (otherwise I wouldn't read them) but I am very aware that only some of the blog authors would most likely be my friends in real life. Some blog readers I just feel connected to, and I know if we lived in the same, we'd get along brilliantly.
• I read a stat somewhere recently that said something like of every 20 person that reads your blog, only 1 will comment. Why don't more people comment?
• I am fully aware that there are some people in my real life that I clash with that read my blog. Hey? We clash. Why are you reading about my life? Go do something else. Please. (okay, that was mean of me to say, I apologize for being mean, but really. I know you don't like me. I accept that. But go away)
• Sometimes blogging leaves me feeling super duper exposed. I go home to my parent's home town for holidays, and people come up to me letting me know they read my blog. Sometimes I don't realize all who are reading. Sometimes I forget that this isn't my personal diary only for my eyes. I need to remember that more often when I blog.
