Dear Overseas Reader,

Why are you not leaving comments on my blog? Don't you see that I have no street cred in the blogosphere because there are no orange dots outside of the US on my world map? I know you're out there. I've seen you in the past. Even though I love her in a totally non-gay way, please don't tell me that American in Norway is my only overseas reader.

I love you overseas person. I've been overseas a few times. Will you leave comments now? We may even be tranferred overseas at some point. Am I earnin your love yet? People tell me all the time that I look Italian, Lebanese, or Greek so I know I could totally roll in your hood. Do I have to title this post 'Good Morning' in like 10 different languages to get over this insecure feeling I have ever time I look at my map? Do I need to break out a haiku for you to leave your digital sig?

My overseas love
stroke my fragile ego please
I laugh as I write

Side note - How the heck is it that I've seen blogs that are just a month old and have hits all over the world? Are these bloggers shamelessly pimpin themselves out virtually just to get some hits and comments? Ok so I'm not above that, just tell me how to do it. I've blog-trolled enough, joined blogger this and that, left comments galore cuz I'm a total comment ho..

So, what be-ith the deal-i-o, oh reader residing in any other country but mine?

Do I give off that stalkerish blog vibe? Can you smell the wine on my breath? Do I have another pubic hair in my teeth or something? Ok I've digressed but hopefully I've made my point overseas reader.

I now sign off to dance to some Justin Timberlake, which I realize might scare you off completely...Senorita, I feel for you..

International Press

Yahoo! I have my first international comment! Kristen from Australia left a comment recently on our blog. That is way cool. Thank you my wonderful new Aussie friend for visiting our blog..Come back soon! Love your blog as well !!

Comments Please?

So according to our statcounter (Blog Viewer Thingie - way at the bottom of the screen) to date, we have had 626 viewers check out our blog. I am confused though because other than a handful of immediate family/friends, no one else is leaving comments (thanks dad, pat, keith, erin, and kari!).

Help me out our wonderful readers. Don't be shy! I'm totally interested in your comments. I changed our preferences so comments will post automatically now instead of us approving them first. Will that help?

I added a guestbook recently as well but no one has signed it. Is it dorky? Should I remove? Love this blogging thing but it's still kind of new so I'm open to some suggestions to make our blog more fun..

And by the way Kari, I was craving your durn cupcakes ALL DAY but couldn't make it in the bakery...Mocha Java, Mint Chocolate Chip, and my new fave, the Short Stack (the gal in the scrubs talked me into buying it the last time we were in). I just lost almost 20 lbs. I think it may be worth it gaining it back?! Maybe I just need to exercise more and longer from now on..!

Blessings and have a restful evening. I know I need it. For all the readers who read the My Day post, it's official, I'm sick..Yuck.
