Hi, I'm Liz. I'm fickle.
I did something awful. I made my Statcounter stop including my own IP address in tallying the daily hits to my blog. You know what that did? It deflated me like a skewered balloon (sound effects included). :0) My blog hits went from 120 a day, to 20 a day. Even if you love me like a sister, you have to admit that's pretty pathetic. That's how often I check my own blog, hoping for comment love!
So, a while ago I made my blog public in order to facilitate access for readers, but because I've discovered the embarrassing truth that I am my #1 fan, I'll be quietly slinking back to the private blogging life, with my tail tucked neatly between my legs and my lower lip dragging along the ground.
No really, I'm fine.
*Chief, please tell me you didn't take that chocolate to work with you.*
Oh, while wallowing in self-pity, I almost forgot to invite you all to slink back to privacy with me. If you'd like to come along, just email me (thebagelfactoryblog@gmail.com) or post your email address here. I'll leave this post up for a while so as to give you all a chance to commit yourselves to daily Bagel reading. Special thanks to my 20 dedicated readers who single-handedly kept my registered hits from plummeting to zero when I nixed my own IP address! I love you guys!!
Note: When commenting, please remember to refer to my family members by their pseudonyms to help protect their privacy. Thank you!

Don't be so hard on yourself. I, too, have found myself slightly embarrassed when I exclude my own ip from my stat counter- I check for comments wayyyy too much! But I guess that is the fun of the blog.
Please add me to your private blog.
20 is better than my 5 ;( I keep telling myself that I would probably do it even if no one else read it. In fact, I didn't even tell anyone about my blog for 3 months or so. But it IS nice to see the number go up.
I would still love to see your blog but feel free to bump me in place of family or current friends.

Aww... if it makes you feel better my blog doesn't even get 20 hits a week. :) Though I'm sure it would get more if I actually wrote on it.. maybe I should try it, lol.
I'd like to still have access :) viioletgirl@gmail.com
i have the same problem. it's hard being your own best fan, isn't it? add me, for without my life would pale: mirbird@gmail.com

Put me on your fan list! I just don't check it every day. I don't even know if I have a counter on, but I usually have to pin my family down, sign into it and make them read it :)
