Just one more fix

Those of you who don't blog or tweet or (insert your favorite public method of lettin-it-all-hang-out-on-the-scary-interwebs<---here) on a regular basis don't realize the tremendous power you hold over those of us who do. You, dear reader, are the one in control of this little relationship. Really. No kidding. You are IT, baby! The Real Deal. You DA MAN, muchacho. The Big Cheese. The Head Honcho. The Big Kahuna even."What's this awesoma powa" you ask, and "how can I harness it in my quest to finally TAKE OVER THE WORLD! AH HAHAHA HA!! All shall bow to my..."

ahem.

As I was saying, we bloggers and tweeps, myspacers, facebookers and texters are all total comment junkies. We say it's for you but let's get real. It ain't. Not really. Nope. We want to know what you think-good or bad. It's the high, man. The buzz, Cuz. We like the twitterpation, natio--I'll stop now. Sorry. We'll write and write and edit and edit until we get it juuuuust right- hit the publish button, and then we wait........

and then go look at it.....

and wonder.....

and wait some more.....

and then look again....

and then we start to stress about it.....

and obsess over it......

and get TICKED at it....

and start to delete it....

and swear it off for EVER this time until....

Finally one of you lurkers gets your nerve up to comment on it. We then breathe a big sigh of relief as all is finally right with our world and go on our merry way. Until the next time.

Here's the point, yo. My last post was not my greatest I'll admit. I debated posting it at all, not knowing whether or not any of you would really get the joke or think it was funny if you did. I thought I had my answer when no one said anything except one quite talented blogger I often read who wanted to tell me how adorable my children are. (They are). Not another peep. Then I got this comment.

Can I just say wow. And homana homana. And wow.

Since this the motherload of all comments I've ever received was posted on my site, people have flocked to it in droves. So many of you have taken a moment to send me a little note saying you agree with Anonymous and have also gone and voted for me. I can't tell you how honored I am and how much it means to me that y'all like what I write. My goal is always to bring a smile to your faces. Thanks so much for the perma-grin you've etched into mine.

I promise to let you know if I win.
