I lost my readership, didn't I? I've been a crappy blogger lately!
Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry
... Once (and still) Infertile, but still Schnarky as hell. This blog is dedicated to the daily ramblings from the mind of Nancy. It isn't about anything profound in the grand scheme of things, but it ~is~ about things in my life, schnarkiness always included. I have a second blog, listed in my profile, but the blogs will continue to remain separate.

About Me
- nancy
- I am a 39 year old woman. I am the mother of two beautiful daughters and a handsome son. I am a career woman. As for my TTC world, it certainly doesn't seem like I am "infertile", but I fought for my pregnancies and my TTC/IF history is on the sidebar. I have two blogs, which are both listed in my profile. One focuses on my daily life - including IF, TTC, pregnancy, delivery and even some "children mentioned" posts. The second blog is ~soley~ posts directly about being the mother to my three children.

I still lurk to see your posts!! I am still trying to get my clog set up so I cannot link to mine, but I will eventually. Am at work now and have been waiting to hear more about George!!
Nancy I am sure you did not lose readers. Everyone that I have seen loves you as I do, (dont take that weird ok :)), but it is Friday afternoon. Maybe people are out in the sunshine, I wish I was.
Take care, look forward to reading you soon.
Renee
Nope, still reading.
Ok, so I cannot type or spell, sorry for all the typos!! I am ready to go home. I really am not an idiot. :)
You're in my google reader, so when you blog it shows up, and when you don't it's okay because it's not like I'm coming here and not getting anything to read.
Besides, I've always figured that a blog was for the blogger. So what if you've lost a few readers? Those that remain love you. :-)
Still here. Just don't post alot these days!
I'm still here.
I'm still here! :-)
I'm still here! I have just been a bad commentator.
I'm here, I just never comment! Well, I guess I can't say never, since I'm commenting now...but rarely. I read, though!
You couldn't lose me if you tried.
Like, if we were in an action movie and I was the baddie and you were the goodie, I would chase you EVERYWHERE.
XOXOXOXO
I'm still here too!! I'm a bad commenter.
I always love hearing new stories from you.
You silly goose.
No way.
I'm still here -- I haven't been commenting a whole lot but I read every single post.
I've been trapped under a giant four month old -- (and truly she's gigantor)
I'll try to be a better reader so you know I'm out here.
XOXO
Pam
Still reading too!
I'm still reading... sad that you haven't been posting, but reading when you do...
I'm here!!
I'm always here- even though it sure doesn't seem like it lately! I am a horrible blogger lately- all around!
I'm reading along. Did you get my email from about 2 weeks ago?
still lurking along
I'm still here whenever you pop up in my reader.
I'm still here! Time at the computer is dwindling as my little one gets more and more interested in putting EVERYTHING in sight into her mouth and needs my attention more and more... :) But I'm still reading!
I still read!
I always read, just never comment anymore! Well, until now. :)
I still read, I'm just too lazy to comment. :-)
I'm still here! I've been so busy, enjoying my maternity leave. I try and catch up a couple times a week.
I'm still here! But I think I may be a contender for the crappy blogger award myself ...
I still read, but since it is in google reader I don't often come and comment. Funny that you should post this, I have eliminated so many from my google reader I just don't feel like I connect with the bloggers anymore. I still read your two though.
I'm still here :)
still reading, just quiet!
as IF your readers weren't standing by waiting for your lovely and snarky thoughts! I can't quit you.
xo
Still here too....
Your funny, You get more replies on a bad day than I do on my best.
I'm the one who's lost my readers.
But I'm with you. Life is busy and I havent had much time to dedicate to my blogging life.
But I still pop in and try to catch up. I may not reply as often but always thinking warm thought about you.
