Blogging for Dollars?
My friend, Melissa , recently wrote this post , expressing her frustration with the small circle of bloggers who seem to be getting all the perks. I read it and left a lengthy comment, then realized I had even more to say. So, here it goes. I have been feeling some stress and increasing negativity in bloggyland lately. Unrest among the masses regarding PR, "A List" (whatever that is) Mommy Bloggers, the lack of money in blogging, etc. I've personally considered withdrawing completely and have spoken to a few other bloggers who are also feeling somewhat "disenchanted" with blogging as of late. It seems to have lost its luster. Here is how I see it: You begin blogging for fun. For connections. For camaraderie. You get a few followers and comments. You want more. You begin to see others talking about the free stroller or set of books. You want that too. Then you hear that some are getting to travel, meet with PR firms, speak at conferences. That sounds fun. You won

looks like our fasting and praying is going to pay off...
Oh how I love to see Edward when he sparkles :)
The fasting and praying is MAKING IT HAPPEN.
And...
Hellooooooooo, Rob's abs. How you doin'????
Seriously. Wowza!
And holy abs!
I am having technical issues with SITS again. I know others had the problem too (browser issue?) but it only happens to me with SITS, and no other sites. I was able to read SITS yesterday and leave comments but again today IE keeps closing it on me:-(
Jamie :)
Thank YOU!!! heh.

I was nervous. I guess all of Lula's fasting and praying is paying off. In many ways.
Did you see those abs? Of course you did. Oh my.
Great video...(now Im going back to watch again!)
But, what's done is done and I'm ready to move on and watch New Moon when it comes out.
Thanks for the clip to whet our appetite :)
Now, I do not want to go interfering with a long-standing friendship, but I come here today with an alternative proposal. Think about my little girl. While she is younger than your boy, it could be a California blogging match made in heaven.
Consider and let me know.

I can't wait. :D
PS: I just pulled my friend over to watch it too so you may have a new blog stalker!
GAH!!!
Can't wait to see the movie.
:-)
Have a beautiful weekend.
Stopping by from SITS!
Im currently rereading the saga, again for the 5th time. Cause I love it so much!
I so hope New Moon will be better than twilight. And with him looking like that *swoon* I really cant wait!!
Have a great night.
