Guess who is getting better? Yay. Thanks for all your prayers and well wishes. He is kicking RSV in the trash! We have a doctor appointment Monday morning to give him the all clear to fly. We have a flight to Kansas City Monday at 11:40. Just a quick overnight trip. Hopefully we will get the all clear to go. Rachel took this sweet picture at Blissdom. Thanks, Rachel!
Now, a confession-
{insert dramatic music}
I'm kinda meh about this site. I love this site, well maybe not the site, I love you. I love the feedback and the friendships. I love that you come and check in, and laugh and have fun here. But the site is kinda boring me. I'm not sure what to do.
Remember when I told you I would move to Wordpress and make it all fancy? Well, lemme tell ya, not gonna happen for a while. Remember when I won that prize from Sommer at Green and Clean Mom for a free Wordpress conversion? I never heard back from Claire at Sharp Wit Designs after we talked a few times. I sent her an email saying if she had some sort of crisis in her life I was sorry and told her not to worry about it. If anyone knows her let me know. I've been worried about what happened to her.
So, anyhoo, I put the site on hold while I waited on her to move me and I'm here and kinda bored. I never follow any blogging rules. I talk family, or kids, or work, or whatever is on my mind, but maybe you want something new here? So, I'm asking you, my friends, my dear readers, what would you like to see more of?
Because I am tempted to start posting everyday as an experiment. Will I get my bloggy mojo back? (giggles) I am a voracious twitterer/tweeter/twitterererer and have a bunch to say, a bunch to share and think I might just start posting a ton. Be warned!
I worry I will bore you to death if I talk about online stuff/social media things. I wonder how many of you blog already and are interested in more info?
I'm gonna do a poll to pick your brains. I want to respect your opinions and not take this site in a way that bores you to tears. Also, if you hate polls, ignore it and leave comments or email me with your feedback, ok?
Please click all topics that you like and want more of.
Have a great weekend!
My love to you all.
MWAH!
xo, Alli

So glad your baby is getting better. And you should blog whatever tickles your fancy that day/moment/second whatever. My reading mood changes all the time!
Don’t feel the need to blog constantly, unless you have something to say! I’m always surprised by the bloggers who post solely for the reason to say “I haven’t posted in a while” for no good reason. strange. I’d rather read things whenever you feel like writing them!
I love the inappropriate photos, Fight The Frump, and regular daily life. Thanks so much for sharing everything!! And SO glad to hear your baby is on the mend. Whew!

WOW! I have over 300 votes on the poll so far. Thanks y’all!
And no one has told me to jump off a cliff yet. Woo-Hoo!

Mrs. Fussypants,
I love you sense of humor. The stuff you post is great and I love hearing what you like to share about you and your family. My favs are inappropriate photo contest, family life, Christian living and political views. I know you don’t like to share political views but I live in the northeast and sometimes I can feel like the last conservative Christian on earth (besides my husband and even with a good church) so it is nice to know I am NOT the last.
Not sure what is up with free blog makeovers.
I was suppose to receive one. It has been over a year. Doubt it will happen.
Since it’s free I guess I can’t complain.
It wasn’t from either of those designers.
Oh, Alli, don’t shut it down! Please! What attracted me to your blog was your sense of humor and the awesome community that you have built. And both of those keep me coming back. Just continue to share the wonderful person that God created you to be – that’s what I like!!
MWAH!!!
I really do believe that those feelings of boredom, of “meh” about one’s blog, are a part of what blogging is about. I think it’s a characteristic of the genre, and we all go through it. Sometimes forcing ourselves to write every day can help, too. Hope you get your mojo back!
Slightly off-topic, but I have a question/comment about your feed ads. Can you e-mail me?
I would LOVE to hear more about social media, new things that are happening, etc. Of course I love the family and silly stuff here too. Can’t get rid of those!! But it would be great to hear your insite about what’s going on in the internet world too.
It’s all good Alli…I’d miss you….so don’t stop! We all lose our mojo from time to time. Goes with the territory. Keep on keepin’ on. You rock!
I didn’t vote in your poll just because I like to read anything you write. You have a fun way of writing that makes me laugh and I enjoy the eclectic-ness of your blog.
I would totally miss you if you shut down your blog. I feel like you are one of my best friends, unfortunately, a friend I’ve never met. And you wouldn’t know me from Eve, but still…I’d miss you!
I don’t care what you write about…just write. When you have time off from building your media empire, that is.
I know you IRL and you know I lurves you. I think it’s a treat for everyone else to see a little bit of the real Fussypants and you should try, when you can, to share little snippets of your life bc your life is quite beautiful.
Also, so are those babies of yours.
xoxo

I miss your “Lost” reviews
Love your sense of humor on kids and marriage and fight the frump posts.
Love it all… love YOU… especially anything evil Republican, inappropriate humor, and your war against frump.
I {jokingly} clicked the “jump off a cliff” button… I can sometimes (okay, may-be always) be sarcastic. So, really… I am just kidding.
But, truly, you should only write what YOU want and when YOU want to. If you want to blog three times a day, do it. Or, three times a month; whatever. This site is something I truly enjoy and I would definitely miss, BUT, it is still your site, and is ultimately for you and your benefit.
And, dangit, if you don’t have the cutest nickname
Love ya, Alli… keep doing it your way!
