Getting to know you…
One of the things that I love the most about blogging is connecting with like minded people from all over the world. I find it so hard to make friends as an adult especially one that no longer goes into an office setting so it’s been great to make friends through this blog of mine.
Lately things have been shifting a bit and I’ve noticed that while my readership continues to grow there has been a decline in comments. To be honest it does get to me sometimes. Most blog posts can take hours and I was use to the days of 30 plus comments on posts and now I sometimes feel like it’s just me and the crickets here. I totally get it though life has just gotten busier and people simply don’t have the time to comment like they use to. I’m at fault myself. Lately all of my blog reading has been happening on my phone and it’s hard to comment via cell phone. Still it’s no excuse. The reason I love blogging is the sense of community and I need to get back in there and start building new relationships.

So, in honor of reconnecting with everyone I wanted to start doing a getting to know you feature that will help readers learn a bit more about me and help me learn about them. Since this is the first post in this series I figured it was best to start at the beginning and ask some basic and some fun questions.

4. Current monogrammed item you are itching for: It’s getting so cold in NY that I’m constantly using my gloves outdoors. Of course I have plain jane gloves and can’t use my phone while wearing them so I’m itching for these monogrammed stunners from C.Wonder with touch screen capability.

6: Last physical CD you purchase (not itunes or download): I can’t believe I’m actually disclosing this, but the last physical CD I bought was Jesse McCartney’s Beautiful Soul.This was back in 2004 and I remember searching for it everywhere and finally finding a copy at Target. Whew! Don’t judge.
Now it’s your turn. If you have a free moment or two I would really like to read all of your responses. Someone must have a CD that is more embarrassing then mine.

ON THE BLOG
My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.

Oh yay!
I have trouble making “IRL” friends too. We just moved over the summer and I have yet to make new friends in our new city, so blog friends have been a life saver. One of my goals is to comment more on other blogs. I spend so much time on my blog (and working) that sometimes I run out of time to read and comment on others.

6: Last physical CD you purchase (not itunes or download): I can’t even remember.
So many thoughts.
-Ok totally cool job. Jealous of graphic design skills.
-Love Cambridge Satchel. Especially love the story behind them. My youngest sister is super cool/edgy so it’s hard to get her gifts, but I got her a CS for her birthday in hot orange with a gold monogrammed and she is obsessed with it.
-Love Blair, but don’t read her daily and totally didn’t see the monogrammed pull over sweater. Must find this post now.
-That is Jon’s favorite Starbucks drink.

I’m totally guilty of being a lurker- mostly because I do all of my blog reading on my phone while nursing my daughter. Sorry! Here’s my getting to know you:
1. San Diego.
2. Former elementary school teacher. Currently staying home with my 14-month-old and tutoring part time.
3. I just bought the most amazing emerald green (Yay Pantone!) satchel and leopard Cynthia Rowley wallet with my Christmas money. They are gorgeous and I’ve been petting the green leather all day.
4. I avoid monograms because my initials are SRS, which is SSR as a monogram, and I just don’t like how it looks. Is that lame of me?
5. One homemade non-fat latte every morning, thank you very much.
6. Taylor Swift. Guilty as charged. Only kind of embarrassed.

I get very few comments and subscribers on my blog even though my numbers increase. But I also notice that comments I make on other blogs are rarely acknowledged which may account for people not thinking that commenting is important. Thanks for the opportunity to make some new “friends”
So happy you are there with me on the CD front. At least we can giggle about it. 🙂 As for blog commenting I think the blog world is just changing. Hopefully posts like this can help a bit. I’ve loved learning to know about a bit more about everyone.

I’ve been very bad myself lately in commenting on other blogs. I think mainly because I tend to save my favourite blogs to Pocket and then read them on my mobile or Ipad whenever I have a chance. And as you say it’s not always easy commenting from mobile devices. Also if I really like the article, I tend to just quickly share the link on Facebook or Twitter.
Love the idea of this though, I may post something similar on my own blog. Will credit you of course 🙂 But anyway, here are my answers……..

Also, I’m one of your newer instagram followers 🙂 My little one is just a few months older than Hudson.
I found a pillow that works, on sale! http://www.westelm.com/products/studded-velvet-pillow-cover-b775/?pkey=caccessories-free-shipping&cm_src=accessories-free-shipping||NoFacet-_-NoFacet-_–_-
