The Blogging Fool

Wow. Have you ever seen me blog so much? While all of you fabulous people are out with your kids at the park, backyard or heck, even in front of the tube...I have been parked in front of the computer having discovered a different world of blogging. The world of "oh yes, there are some really hilarious and interesting blogs out there".

Now to qualify, and in the world of qualifying, this makes the innermost galaxy to be sure, YOUR blogs are interesting and hilarious. Even if they are NOT and are completely boring (I dare you)
I am STILL interested because I KNOW you. So blogs by people you personally know do not count in what I am saying.

I am talking about stranger's blogs. I have peeked around a bit...especially at the beginning of my blogging but found NOTHING that could hold my interest until of course, stuffchristianslike (how am I doin' Cheryl?!? I think: mastery is close! Can't figure out the target thing still though...)

but anyway, YES, I have found amazing other blogs. None beats Jon's though....but here are a few fun ones.

Stacey from Louisville (fun though I haven't read too much of her, she just seems great)

The Big Picture (for news junkies, VERY cool. News in one picture and a blurb)

(The Customer is) Not Always Right (funny real conversations with crazy customers)

97 Seconds With God (one of Jon's three blogs and a darn good one at that..about God moments)

And this last one I won't be visiting but I came across it and it is the whole weirdo thing...you know, I am not into weirdo things. I mean, I am not. I like to think I am this big adventurous girl but I am not) Cuss and I won't listen to you. Cross the line and I lose respect. Sometimes I PURPOSELY do it to see if...I don't know what, God strikes me dead? So I can be cool? To make others know that I am regular chick who is a Christian? I don't know. But I caught myself doing with Cheryl on the phone the other day by saying "P...d off" and writing the word "cr*p" on my blog which got taken off pretty quick and replaced with the word "dialogue" which let's face it, is a much more interesting and descriptive word that cr*p. And actually it might have passed but Sloan saw it and she was like, uh Mom, I cannot believe you put that word on your blog (sheesh that whole ROLE MODEL thing again) but I tell you because if she is cringing at 15 at that word then you likely know I raised them NOT being cussers. But I ultimately took it off because I somehow I felt it lessened my blog and me. Ridiculous I know. Just being honest. And yes, I know that there are other cuss words on my blog and yes, the big boob pic which I actually had to email Tif on to be sure it wasn't pornographic because I didn't mean it that way but if others viewed it that way then what kind of a Christian, Mom, Wife, Editor of Kids Magazine would I be with porn on my blog? Thankfully, she said I was good. Though why I consulted an admitted third grade potty humor expert on that perplexes me a bit. lol Just kidding...she is part of my "board". Can you believe I have a BOARD? But anyway, this one makes me feel guilty reading it and I am afraid I am going to come across something really bad so I looked once, read a bit and moved on.
And I imagine that preface is sort of like taking the clumpy milk carton out and taking a big whiff and then handing it your hubby and saying, "Ewwwww, smell this!"

So without further adieu....I give you......
Post Secret (no link so it gives you one last chance not to rubber neck)
An ongoing community art project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a postcard.

Yeah, you can imagine. Nah, it's not THAT bad at all really.

But anyway, Jon (get used to his name cuz he's going to be around for awhile) has inspired me to take my blogging to a new level. Because you know, all that extra time I spoke of earlier...

So I am branching out with some other blogs...one in particular. When it develops just a little more, I will open it. It will be an open blog and connected with the magazine though not necessarily ABOUT the magazine.

Anyway, it will be interesting to see how and if and when and why and what the heck it's all for but I am excited. Wondering if I can manage an open blog that gains readers because there is a responsibility to post I think IF you gain readers. And of course there is no telling if that will happen or not anyway.

Ya'll don't interact with me enough on here though....regular commenters not included, so an open blog should be an interesting diversion. Because I need diversion, don't I?
