You Might Be a Blogger If…

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!

2008: A Year in Review

2008 was a great year for Emily and I and Mommin’ It Up! Em had a baby, I got my eyebrows waxed, and we launched our review blog! In case you missed any of it, I picked out a favorite post from each month of 2008…I hope you’ll join my trip down memory lane and read them all. Happy New Year everyone! We love and appreciate all of you!

January: I scare the meter reader and deal with mystery turd #1

February: Emily has a good laugh at my expense. Or lack of expense.

March: Emily and I hit the brand-new IKEA store in our area. And ALMOST buy the correct items!

April: Emily pops out baby Sammy, and more importantly, I don’t have to wait any longer to know if it’s a boy or a girl. GEEZ.

May: A kid on Kate’s t-ball team makes the best blog fodder. EVAH.

June: Emily smokes crack, and is therefore a much more fun mommy than I am.

July: Mystery Turd 2: Electric Boogaloo! Nancy Drew tries to solve the case.

August: An old lady pisses Emily off. Watch out, Grandma!

September: We got a hurricane in Ohio. It was WEIRD. And windy.

October: I FINALLY wean Sophie at 23 months. Oy.

November: Emily and Oprah are like twinsies. And also 83-year-old ladies are smart.

December: My lady business is perfect. (According to my OB-GYN. I’m just sayin’.)

I had way too much fun putting this together. I must say Emily and I crack me up! So…at least that’s one of us…I hope you all reminisce with me and have a laugh too!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Let’s make 2009 a great one!

I’m Pretty Much the Gold Standard

Yesterday I went to my OB-GYN for my yearly pap (men stop reading here) and when my doctor was done with my exam she said, “Well, my dear, you’re perfect.”

Perfect? Really?

This brings up two questions:

1) Was she referring to my lady business? ‘Cause she’s seen a lot of that in her line of work, so you know, she can make a fair comparison.

2) Do you think she says that to all the girls?

Just wonderin’…
