Because Dude, I think I’ve killed my blog.
Erratic and inconsistent posting and nothing to talk about except vile and gut wrenching stories of morning sickness and explosive diarrhea will halt traffic like nothing else.
Not to mention the Pepto-Bismol pink layout that I’ve committed to for another few days, but still haven’t found something (or anything to replace it with), I freakin’ the fuck out! I’m gonna be pink forever!! I can’t stand even looking at my layout, I don’t blame you readers reader for not coming by. I don’t even look at it either. Gahhhh!! (Seriously, I may just download a free theme for the time being: until I get my ass in gear and my head outta the toilet.)
If you’re looking to deter people from coming to visit you follow these simple rules:
1. Talk about morning sickness repeatedly;
2. Share your gory bathroom tales incessantly;
3. Bitch and moan Whine and cry about how hard it is to be you at this very moment;
4. Post erratically and inconsistently and share nothing of value;
5. Try and convince people that you deserve pity;
6. Don’t visit people or comment on their sites, but dammit except MORE in return;
7. Whin, bitch and cry that your traffic is nearing an all time low, and expect that to be enough to get readers back;
8. Pepto-Bisol fuckin’ pink people. Make your layout so fuckin’ pink that you feel sick to your stomach just thinking about clicking over.
9. Leave the pink for an entire month even though you hate it, everyone else hates it and it’s just plain fuckin’ ugly.
10. Oh, and make your site slow as shit so even those that come here regularly are fed up with it’s slow ass loading and get sick of it. (To my defense I have been trying everything to fix how slow it is…)
I need another vacation.
Oops.I think I made a bad comment by mistake and I don’t know if I deleted it
Anyway, just so you know - I’m still reading!
Thanks LD!
Just in a funk these days. LOL

I’m reading too. I just don’t have a whole lot of experience with morning sickness - and I hope not to!
The pink is for a good cause!

I’m here too! I just have been moving and all kinds of fun stuff so I’ve only been paying attention to my own blog. Guess what? That does shit for traffic too. Guilty of #6.

I don’t mind the pink. It’s really not that bad hon.
And no worries……My blog traffic has been incredibly slow (only 4 a day!!!) because I also have been erratic and sporatic on the posting. Just no motivation or things to talk about. But I will always be around reading yours hon….even if you post about morning sickness every day. (cuz trust me, I totally understand!!!!)

I think your losing it. Take a deep breath, calm down. By the looks of it, you still have a few readers. That’s good news! And the pink…it kinda brightens up my day. You are funny, intellegent, and usually put a smile on my face once a day. So calm down collect your thoughs and come up with some new shit!!! LOL, just joking! Kinda

At least your humour is still in tack, Sam…gotta love that about you!!! And pink month is almost over–I promise

I took a huge hit in traffic recently, mostly due to changing my blog host, but still, ouch. Maybe it’s some kind of weird “blog flu.” Maybe people just aren’t reading blogs anymore.
I don’t always comment, but I’m still here. I like the pink, too, but I’m with ya’. I’m itching to change mine back.

Well, since you are and have been the ONLY person reading MY, in comparison? I win the Worst Blog Traffic award hands down! Not you in the least!
However, since you WERE the only person reading my blog and now you’re sicker than a pregnant woman (oh, yeah, that’s right ~ you ARE pregnant), and not reading and/or commenting (it’s okay) on anyone’s blog, including my boring-ass blog, YOU win the Best Blogger Award for the blog that “Whines, Bitches, and Spins Tails of Poop and Vomit All Into An Art Form Blog that Makes You Come Back for More Every Day” and does it with style.
And heck, we BOTH know that normally you are just a Career Woman, Mommy, Designer, and All Around Great Gal forced to wear the disguise of Hostile Pregnant Woman.
It’s okay Sam. Give it another week or so and you’ll feel so much better.
Hugs. Laughter. And warm thoughts every day.

I’m reading.
I don’t mind the pink.
I did it to my blog too for October.
Your blog doesn’t load slow for me but my SpySweeper always sends me an alert after I have been on your blog. Weird.

Dude, you mean people *don’t* like to hear about vomit?

I loved the idea of pink for October … but day-um I was happy to get rid of it today.
