I’m a Blog Geek

On Being Truman.

January 23, 2012

This post has been written and in my drafts folder for over a month, hence the Christmas references. I went back and forth about publishing it or not because there are parts of it that could be construed as me being arrogant about blogging. I don’t ever want to come across that way. I am [...]

Lurker Appreciation!

January 13, 2012

  Today is National Delurking Day, which is the only national blogging holiday that I look forward to every year with great(!!) excitement(!!) (That could be because it’s the only national blogging holiday.  But still.) My favorite part of blogging is the relationships with you guys.  And being that I’m so not a narcissist and [...]

The Stages of Blog Failure Emotions.

January 12, 2012

So yesterday during the kid’s naptimes, (also known as my only work time), my blog went down. Like, DOWN down. Like, so down that I couldn’t even get to my admin page down. And then – it stayed down.  For sixteen hours. One can go through a lot of emotions in sixteen hours. 1. Denial.  [...]

Just Because You’re Paranoid…

August 18, 2011

…doesn’t mean they’re not really out to get you. Or at least that’s what my Dad used to tease me with during the days of my overly-suspicious youth. I received a text last night. A nasty one. It was from a number I’d never seen before, out of state, and all it said was, “Parent [...]

What I Learned at BlogHer.

August 10, 2011

I decided to attend my third BlogHer at the last minute to go to one event: The Voices of the Year Reception.  Even though I wasn’t chosen as a speaker (thank goodness because my nerves couldn’t have handled it), being an Honoree was so exciting, and I had promised myself last year that if I [...]

My Blogging Tips From See Jane Write

July 31, 2011

I usually don’t feel competent or comfortable giving blogging advice – my blog doesn’t hang out in the “how-to” category much (unless we’re talking about something insane like how to make a Breastmilk Smoothie or a Presidential Christmas Gift list).  Out of my 1,200+ posts, only one (before this one) has ever been on the [...]

Invitations and Announcements

July 19, 2011

As most of you have heard (or rather, read) me talk about over and over and over again until your ears (or rather, eyes) fell asleep from boredom, one of my main motivators in blogging is relationships.  There is nothing that excites me more about blogging than to get emails and comments, or better yet, [...]

A Look Back: 6 Months Later.

June 19, 2011

Noah is six months old today. Half a year.. goes by so much more quickly the second time around. Despite my fears of having another baby, Noah has been a complete delight and pleasure. He’s the happiest, most joyful, smiliest baby I’ve ever encountered. His charm and constant laughter keep me falling in love with [...]

Let’s Play!

June 7, 2011

NEVER HAVE I EVER… … been summoned for jury duty – although I’ve always wanted to be. … fainted – although I’ve secretly thought it would be fun. … gotten, nor wanted, a tattoo. … lived alone – I went to college in town, got married when I was 19, and moved straight from my [...]
