Me or Blogger?

-
So I wasn't going to say anything...
stiff upper lip & all...
but I LOST several followers in ONE DAY...

What'dIdoooooo? SORRY....
I was trying to Shake it off, and be a big girl about it....

But you do start wondering....

Is it cause I am not being Mommy enough? American enough?
Norwegian-ish enough? Am I moaning about too many things?
WHAT? WHYYYYYYY?

But as I have been reading around the blogashpere that a lot of people have been losing a lot of followers in one day that blogger might be dropping them off...

True? false? Anyone know what is going on?

I have one friend that appeared to drop off... but when I looked on her blog it said she was still following....

Not sure I can take much more of this.... ARG....

I have a Hanne- Power of Prayer....update....waiting to see if I hear back from her... will keep ya'll posted....

I heard rumor it was Blogger's issue and that it would be fixed soon.

Doesn't mean I didn't get depressed over the six I "lost."

I think I need to leave the house.

(looking forward to the update)

I've lost 3 myself, and I have heard of others who have lost several. I have no idea what's going on.

I thought it was just me too. I am so glad someone posted about it so that I wouldn't have to stay in the fetal position on the floor anymore.

I went from 305 to 288 in an evening. Of course I also lost about the same number right after Michael went into the hospital. Now that was really depressing.

By the way...your pictures for the I heart faces...beautiful. Love, love, love the one of you!

OMG> I totally did not steal your post. Holy cow I just read it today & I wrote one like it today (obviously you know that,) but I just wanted to tell you I sooooo didn't steal from you. Great minds just think alike, and get all panties in a wad when we lose followers.

You know, I've read a lot of bloggers have this happen to them lately. I'm wondering if it's blogger? It would depress me too!

Blogger seems to be a little wonky at the moment. I wouldn't let it get to you. That said, if I lost that many followers, I'd have none, which would be grounds for tears.

It's a blogger issue. Some 'friend integration' thingie their working on.
But if we're realy good boys and girls, they may let us have our followers back someday. Behave.

I saw a post on this somewhere else that blogger had done something. Darn it! I can't remember where I saw it @. The person had contacted & then posted the google response. I'll try to find it. And, yes, I'm still here too.

Yea...I lost 4 or so...so I'm right there with you...blogger put a lot of people following anonymously...and they have to go back in and put their follow thing on public or something like that...

I freaked a bit also!

I read on someone's blog that blogger hiccuped. They made a bunch of people suddenly go "private" instead of "public" following. I spent several hours beating myself up for offending people before i read about it.

Too funny. I have a whopping FOUR followers - I'm so popular! This morning I was startled to see only two. Either way, not the most impressive number. Oh well. I'm glad to know maybe it isn't my fault that 50% of my followers disappeared.

As far as I understand, lots of bloggers have 'lost' followers... but they have come back. Blogger has been doing updates or something recently...

So, don't worrry - it's not you! ;-)

Hey you... hungry butt!

Hey you, Hungry butt!!!! .... First thought that played through my mind as I stood behind the woman in the GREY SWEATPANTS in line at the post office..... Hungry Butt is what my little sister & her friends say when referring to what in my day, was called a WEDGIE ..... "Hungry Butt" just fit the large bottom , which was gobbling its underwear in front of me.... Ugh.... the sight of her butt was burning into my mind as I waited in the ridiculously SLOW line at the post office.... No longer able to stand the site... I put my boxes down... and did the neighborly thing.... I pulled her underwear out of her butt.... You should have seen the SHOCK & SURPRISE on her face ... Ummm , OK I didn't do that... I tapped her on her shoulder & in my best AMERICAN accent announced to her & the rest of the post office... that she had the picture perfect HUNGRY BUTT... cause it was gobbling everything in sight... K... I didn't do that either... I just stood...

A visit to the ICE AGE....

Sunday... FUN-DAY, Another family day..... Because we had such nice weather, (never knowing how long it will last) we decided to take another family hike.... (2.5 hours....) around the be ach. It is funny, each week, each hike, I see changes in our family....less whining (on my part) & more time learning, enjoying our time together....Bjørn who usually gets irritated with all of my picture taking, is stopping to find things to take pictures of...appreciating colors, nature etc. Dane is less squeamish...touching & picking up all of sorts of things he finds along the hike.... Today we learned about Jettegryter or "Stone Pots" these huge rock formations from the ICE AGE .... pretty cool... these holes are formed by pebbles/gravel being aggitated by water, over thousand of years.... WOW..The holes on our local beach date back to 15,000 years.... the kids had a blast.... & wanted to stay much long...
