As far as awkward–when my daughter was born, the hospital teamed up with this company to offer a free sitting for newborn baby pictures at your house. Amanda was my first child, and she was less than 2 months old, but that didn’t stop the photographer from asking when I was going to have my second. When I replied, “We don’t know. We might just have one,” she said, “That’s really surprising,” or something. When I seemed confused, she said something about most Mormons having large families, when I explained to her that we weren’t Mormon. I didn’t feel awkward–just confused. She explained that she had seen this gold picture/plaque thing and thought it was an LDS church (it was actually a gift that my bil had purchased in Ireland–it was an Irish Blessing plaque).

Also saw them for sale on Amazon. They really are cool.

Every time I feel like hitting the big delete button and sending my blog to the depths of the ether, I shut down the computer and stay away for a while. Eventuallly, something happens that I want to remember, that I want to write down so my children will have it to read one day. And that brings me back.

Oh, that and the chance to increase my BlogHer Ads earnings by a few more micropennies. I’m on my way to a Happy Meal!

Speaking of Steve Carrell, we just watched Evan Almighty — it was pretty good. Not Office good, but God Loves Ya good.

I hate the whole”what are you doing thing” mainly because I used to work full time in a big corporate thing and now I teach and not that that isn’t working but it somehow feels less important because I make so little money. And then, as an English grad I always get “are you writing” and I too struggle with saying “yeah, I blog, does that count?” I don’t know. My head hurts just thinking about it.

And obviously I monopolize conversations look how long this comment is – I blog, the whole fundamental idea behind a blog is a one-sided conversation. Not to mention that this entire comment is filled with poorly constructed run-on sentences. Oy!

Okay, off to church.

Mad mad housewife wrote awhile back about writing her blurb for her reunion. She felt like everyone else was curing cancer and battling corporate greed, and what did she have? A blog.

BTW I always feel like I’ve monopolized the conversation too. And you’re probably thinking, “well gee Marie, ya think?”

You covered most bases with the minefield of religion, meeting old friends/acquaintances and doing the complicated kids/marriages thing, the so what do you do now, and also being embarrassed to confess to the blogging thing. Although if this is not real writing, why not?

So did you ever find the source of the nifty plastic tablecloths?
