Why do I get the feeling people are mad at me and I don’t know why? I don’t talk about people, diss them, make fun of them, gossip about them. I don’t – people who are my friends are just that – my friends. They get my loyalty.
But I’m not feeling that loyalty in return right now. Being ignored. No return calls or e-mails. I would rather you tell me to my face, even if it hurts my feelings. How can I fix things if you don’t tell me? Don’t want it fixed? Fine. Tell me you don’t want to hang out. I might be hurt, but I’ll manage.
Yeah, I’m feeling left out right now. And that really brings down the fun and joy from BlogHer. Because I am still grateful for the new women I met there. I hope to get to know many of them better. And I still have the cards for the link-fest of love. Coming soon. Really.
Last update: it was captcha. I’ve removed it for now. COMMENTS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW – GIVE IT A TRY IF YOU’D LIKE.
Apparently my comments are broken if you’re not logged in. I think my comments are broken in IE. I only use Firefox & I never noticed. No one told me. Could be why I haven’t been getting comments. Doh!
The template is broken somehow. I am not a template/ css person, but I’ll try to figure out what’s going on. It works in Safari, too! E-mail becky @ the domain if you need to get in touch with me.
(aha, it’s if you’re not logged in. I didn’t do that on purpose, so I’ll have to figure it out. If you are logged in, though, no problem! Gah, why didn’t I know this?)
I hate HATE trying to figure this stuff out. I have no idea what I’m doing. This is supposed to be simple. I refuse to go back to Blogger because it doesn’t give me enough control. But this? Too much. Anyone out there familiar with this stuff? Heeeeelllllllpppppppppp! < /tantrum > *pant* *pant*
Update: still can’t figure it out. No idea what to do at this point. Try a new template maybe?
I’m hearing rumbles about people dissing the moms at BlogHer, although I’ve only seen one site that really rips them to shreds.
What is it, really? And why?
The moms I met were incredible. Some of them are SAHMs. Some are WAHMs. They balance family, work, school, obligations, demands, expectations. And they love their families. What’s wrong with that? What’s wrong with them talking about it when they get together?
Being a woman is TOUGH. Why can’t we give each other some slack?
I found some moms that I had things in common with. We chatted and had a good time. Others, not so much. That’s okay. The ones I got to talk to for any length of time are fabulous women who I would love to have in my life all the time. Seriously.
I was a bit surprised that there were so many “mom bloggers” as I expected a bit more of a geek conference (I can never get too many of those). But that’s okay that it wasn’t. I found things to enjoy about it. I will probably even go back, especially now that I know people.
I joke about the “Mommy Mafia” because I find that term funny. They are a powerful, formidable group. And I see absolutely nothing wrong with that. I’ve rarely written about my daughter, so I don’t really consider myself part of the group. But maybe someday I will be. We’ll see.
I don’t think I’ve had many visitors since BlogHer, and maybe that’s because of my comments. Or maybe it’s just because I’m NOT FUNNY ON PAPER, DAMMIT! My friends and I have fun – we laugh a lot. I know I make people laugh. Tell a funny story? Okay. Write one? Not so much. But I’m hoping I can learn something from the ladies I met that do write funny or thought-provoking posts. Or maybe I’m just incredibly lazy. It could be that, too.
