Some post every hour or every day.....Crazy. Consider yourself normal and don't be intimidated by some of those high hootin bloggers. Do what you want and when. Joining your party. Have a great week!Linda @ Life and Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00210490476537882296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7459400132166733757.post-43720414496524562112015-02-02T23:38:00.547-06:002015-02-02T23:38:00.547-06:00I went to a very small school, so it wasn't to...I went to a very small school, so it wasn't too intimidating. We all knew each other from kindergarten through graduation, so even though I was very shy during those awkward years, my classmates were almost like family. I had some rough years in high school when my friends were asked to formal dances while I stayed home, but I survived. I feel for the little Katie who was so alone because our oldest daughter was like that for a while. She's grown into the most caring and kind woman in spite of her shy beginnings.<br /><br />I follow big and small bloggers and I think some of the small bloggers have the most entertaining blogs! I agree that the competitions to belong to the home tours seems a little like high school popularity contests and to tell the truth, I rarely visit them. It's so overwhelming to visit dozens of homes that look like they just finished styling their homes for a high end magazine shoot and then come back to the reality of my work-in-progress. And I'll tell you something that may surprise you. I was contacted by a photography team that's done photo shoots in many of the big blogger's homes and they wanted to photograph our home. 911! They even called me at home to talk to me about it, but in the end I just wasn't comfortable with the idea of our home and my blog in the pages of a magazine. I never in a million years thought I'd be considered for a magazine feature and although I was flattered, it wasn't for me. I would have been like a crazy woman trying to change everything in the few months I had to prepare!! I like my quiet little blog where I can control what I reveal and what I keep private. <br /><br />I've followed a few smaller bloggers as well as the big ones who never acknowledged a single comment I made or visited back. I've finally realized that like the movie, "they're just not that into me" and moved on. There are so many wonderful bloggers out there and I guess we just have to find our nitch. I don't have anything to link up right now, but hopefully I'll have something in the next week. Thanks for hosting, Katie, and you have a lovely blog that I always enjoy visiting.<br />VickieVickie @ Ranger 911https://www.blogger.com/profile/12847126296813987337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7459400132166733757.post-78974127058103226052015-02-02T22:12:32.971-06:002015-02-02T22:12:32.971-06:00You are spot-on in your cool and not-so-cool crowd...You are spot-on in your cool and not-so-cool crowd comparisons to Blogland.

I am not a blogger (although I started one years ago & it went nowhere) and I don't understand it all anyway, but I sure do enjoy looking.
