I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I am not technologically savvy. The reason I like blogs is that I don't really have to know what I'm doing to do well. As a result, though, I sometimes do dumb things.
Take, for example, when I put up my new wallpaper.
It said "I may erase your widgets."
I said, "Who really needs 'em anyway."
In my head, I was thinking "What's a widget? Do I have those? Are they important?"
Well, it turns out that they can be, like, when they're the sidebar that has all your links to friends' blogs. And then, your husband comes home from work and announces that all of his bookmarks have been deleted by his bipolar Firefox browser. BAD timing! I thought I put it back together properly.
I was wrong. I've been missing several friends' blogs from my sidebar and thus haven't checked their blogs. Take, for example, my friends Pat and Jen who had their baby 12 days ago, and I only found out today!
So, Readers of the Blog, this is an appeal. If you see that I'm missing your blog link (and I actually know you, you're not just someone trying to get free ad space on my blog), please, let me know. It's not that your blog is one I'm trying to block out as a painful memory (unless it's visual anarchy, but that's just because I'm seeing my life in 4 years). It's just that I have a horrible memory (which horribleness has only been exacerbated by pregnancy) and I probably don't even realize your blog isn't part of my virtual world anymore. If you see a friend's blog that should be in my list but isn't, really, let me know.
I need all the help I can get in whipping my widget back into shape!

nice wallpaper. and thanks for the PROPS!
Just so you know, Google Reader can make tracking your friends' blogs much easier. It lets you know whenever there's a new post. This is especially helpful for those blogs that only post once a month.
Also, it's cool to see how life's been treating you thus far. I sorta stumbled into your blog from Learon's (or his wife's) blog (which coincidentally has a link to my wife's blog). It's crazy being a "grown up". Although a regular paycheck does come in handy.
