I asked my darling husband to get me a cheeseburger from Wendy’s the other night by saying, “I Can Has Cheezburger?” and he had no idea what I was talking about. But if YOU know what I’m talking about, you might just be a blogger. So I started thinking about other ways you know if you might be a blogger.
You Might Be a Blogger If…
You know a feed has nothing to do with eating
You know a dashboard is not related to a car
You know a carnival has nothing to do with shaky rides and shady workers
You know a plug-in does not provide electric current
You refer to a laptop as your “lappy” and your desktop as your “compy”
The word “tweet” does not make you think of a bird
You refer to all your online friends with an @ in front of their names (right, @Fussypants ?)
You sometimes cheat on StatCounter with Analytics (or vice versa) or add Sitemeter in for a hot three-way
You require half a bottle of Xanax when your server goes down
You have a personal email, a blog email, a gmail, and a generic admin email for good measure
AND you MIGHT be a blogger if…
Your kid asks their friends if their mom reads your mom’s blog (*cough*Emily*cough)!
Let’s play! Add your “You might be a blogger if’s” in the comments and let’s see how many we can come up with!
Jenny, the Xanax thing… that’s only you. Really.
Okay, I’ll play!
You might be a blogger if….
You see sending out Christmas cards as a good opportunity to promote your blog.
You sometimes let your kids watch several hours of TV so that you can work on your blog. (I never do that, really!)
You start thinking in, short Twitter-size thoughts.
You get frustrated with mainstream media like newspapers because there are no hyperlinks.
You come up with ideas like blogger butt sized depends so you don’t have to get up to go pee when you’re in the midst of writing something.
**Not that I would *EVER* use something like that because it’s just plain gross, but I can see the benefits of such an invention and that is my problem!!
You might be a blogger if your kid does something funny and then promptly asks, “Mama, are you going to blog?”
You might be a blogger if you you ask your husband if he say what happened with so and so and such and such and he told you that yes, he saw it on your blog!
You might be a blogger if you wake up in the middle of the night to blog (whhhhhaaaa??)
You might be a blogger if your kid does something funny and then promptly asks, “Mama, are you going to blog THAT?”
Missed an important word.
You cannot sleep because you found out you got sponsored to Blissdom 09 and you’re too excited to think!
Your husband gets home for the evening, mentions that you look great, did you do something different today? Get your haircut, makeup, etc? Then together you realize it is because you don’t have your cell phone glued to your hand tweeting.
I used to know I was a scrapbooker because my reaction to any life experience or situation was, “I’m going to have to scrapbook that.”
Now I’m definitely a blogger, because I find myself thinking instead, “I’m going to have to blog that.”
You know your a blogger when:
– you have cute sudonyms for your children
– when you refer to your real life blogger friends by their bloggy name or call their children by their blog name.
You see your kid with her hands in the toilet and you run to get your camera before pulling her out. Ditto… balancing precariously on a chair, fallen in an odd way, etc..
You only do something if it might be blogworthy. Trip to the zoo? Eih. Organizing the house… has potential!
You know you are a blogger when:
1) You think of a button as a link to another site to download instead of a button on a shirt.
2) Your friends are scared for you to take their picture at an outing because they don’t want to end up on your blog!
3) You dog is upset because she can’t get up on your lap because your computer has replaced her!!
These are hilarious. I’d add:
You know you’re a blogger when…
You take your camera everywhere you go, even to IKEA. 🙂
I love all of these…and sadly, they are all true. My camera is with me 24/7!
You know what a meme is.
And I’m with taking your camera with you everywhere now. I once left the house and thought about bringing my camera but decided to leave it home. Five minutes from home, I saw a moose on the side of the road just standing there forever. I felt bad about not getting the photo.
You might be a blogger’s husband if you refer to her friends by their bloggy name. This means you Fussypants.
You might be a blogger if you threaten your husband’s behavior with “Be careful, dear, that is blog-worthy…”.
You might be a blogger if you don’t think having a blog is nerdy (excuse me?!).
you got me with the email addresses, I am still laughing out loud!
You might be a blogger if you think of a blog subject, realize you don’t have any pictures of said subject, and set up a photo shoot simply to get pictures for said subject.
(my dogs have gotten VERY used to this!)
LOL this is too funny!
you know you’re a blogger if you carry your camera with you at ALL times so you can “get a picture for your blog” LOL—-my family just rolls their eyes any more!

You know you’re a blogger if…
Your preschooler cries when you sit down next to your laptop. “Nooooo! I want to talk to you, Mommy!”
You know you can’t do both, but you pretend to talk to him anyway… then realize twenty minutes later he left (20 minutes ago) to play by himself.
Oh – If you always have your flip camera with you, If your children constantly ask “are you blogging this mom? If you only know people by there “blogger” names.
Fun post!!
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
awesome @jennybelle
Ummm, how bout you might be a blogger if your REAREND HAS DEVELOPED A WICKED CASE OF BLOGGERSBUTT!
I’m just sayin’…;)
Darlin’ post, Jenny. I see myself in more than a few of these!
🙂
…Your friends at work don’t even need to ask about your vacation because they’ve already read about it on your blog.
…You boss has already knows your plans for parenthood because someone told him about your blog..
Oh yea, this just happened to me… oops!
