Weekends are a vicious cycle
I have to tell you all the truth, I get fueled by you guys and on the weekends, well I have to say you are few a far between. Which in returns makes me want to kick back and not blog. Forcing this vicious cycle to continue because if I don't blog... you don't read. See we gots a problem here folks! H
Hey you! I am a first time commenter. I read your blog all the time. You have to be one of the most real and hilarious people I "know" here in the internet world. I love ya and don't even know ya. Keep 'em coming. I'm readin' even on a Saturday evening. :)

It's probably just bad b/c of summer...summer weekend...doubly bad.
I've been a blogging slacker, but even when I'm not posting, I'm always reading!

Thanks to bloglines, i'm notified every time you update, so I totally read it every time!! But i hear ya, whats the point of blogging on the weekends if no one reads on the weekends? It's not like we actually write to get our thoughts out..we do it for the love and affirmation! haha :)
I'm still reading..and loving your blog! :)

I check blogs all the time on the weekends, it's when I have the most time. It's true though, most people don't seem to update over the weekend! For the few and faithful, please continue to blog on the weekends so that we "old faithfuls" can continue to read :)

Amen, and amen. I found myself in the same predicament about a month ago, so I started a new weekend feature on my blog. Nothing fancy, but I call it "Sunday finds" and share interesting articles, cool things I have read on other blogs (like yours!) or great bargins, or anything I consider a "find" worth sharing.... So far it hasn't made anyone else blog more on the weekend, but it has brought more comments to my blog over the weekend...

I do read almost every day... So I read your posts on the weekends.. :)

Hello!
I check it out every day. Heard you were at Deeper Still this weekend. Hope you had a great time. :)

I read... and comment so often I'm thinking you might start considering me your blog stalker... so I try to refrain once in a while. Maybe now I'll try to "blog stalk" you especially on the weekends!? Hope it helps!!

Heather girl, I am with you. I just hate looking at blog stats on Saturdays and Sundays. You'd think people only surf the net at work! And comments? Forget it on the weekend. Even the readers don't want to comment Oh well...I always tell myself it's just the weekend.
For the record, I read you every time a post goes active. And I post all weekend on Coffee Shop Journal, too.
Aren't we just faithful?

Yeah weekends stink!! I had 700 hits yesterday... 400 today. I guess everyone has a life! haha I'm here reading though... what does that say about me?! :)

funny how we blog all week when we have plenty to keep us busy with the kids and all...then on the weekend its like we cant blog because it takes us away from the family???? but we blog ALL week....kinda silly. we've been painting the boys rooms, finally COLOR.

It's really funny because I'd love to be living on the West coast one day. So, to know that you all picked up and moved out here to the East Coast is a pretty big deal. No In-&-Out burger or Peet's coffee!! I love your blog because there's never a dull moment in your world. Your blog + Carlos' blog = Good times! (or some brutally real & poetic happenings at least).

That's OK Heather, we know you have a life on the weekends, lol! I think it's amazing how you can find the time to do everything you do with three little ones.
The series on Losiah..."He's 2" has been adorable. I have two boys (and two girls but as you know they're so different!) who are now 4 and 7 and I didn't think I would live through their second and into their third year, but it gets better. It's crazy, but boys are just so awesome. They think of things and do things my girls never would have. I'm thankful for that.

If you quit blogging on the weekend, I doubt it'd decrease your number of readers...and you'd get a little blog break too. Of course, I like it when you blog on the weekend (especially since most people don't).

You're right...thanks for the friendly reminder. Thanks also for your commitment to your readers. Take care, and stay cool (I mean that literally...I'm definitely not cool enough to say that figuratively;-)
Posted by: Erin | June 28, 2008 at 11:46 PM
LOL! I hardly get any comments anymore. I know people read and don't comment. I'm guilty of that. I read you every single time you post - google reader. :-)
I am guilty of reading and not commenting - especially on the weekends.
So sorry.

I've always found it funny how certain posts generate more comments that others. A post you spent two minutes on gets more than the one you spent two hours on. It's weird.
Keep blogging :-)

Heather I read everyday! I think I check my blog reader 10 times a day for new posts.
Posted by: kristy | June 29, 2008 at 07:40 AM
H, I'm one of your faithful few.
Posted by: Simone | June 29, 2008 at 08:47 AM
Hey I read your blogs everyday I get bummed out when I check it and there isn't one. Keep up the blogging!

Posted by: Amy | June 29, 2008 at 09:50 AM
Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on bloggin' all thru the weekend!
Okay, a little throw back to the Brady Bunch. Seriously, if you have something to blog do it. Otherwise we'll still be here Monday to catch up!
Love your blog!
Posted by: Melissa | June 29, 2008 at 09:53 AM
I'm checking in on the weekend too, please keep posting :-)
Posted by: Natali | June 29, 2008 at 04:01 PM
Heather,
I'm sure I'm in the minority of people who read blogs every day! I have more time on Sunday night than any other time during the week...but I know I'm not normal....Keep sending stuff on the weekends!
Posted by: Dolores Cadena | June 29, 2008 at 05:17 PM
I try to read on weekends, but we had company which meant lots of cooking and trips to the lakes, so no time til now. You always inspire me when I read, so don't stop!
