And why am I so excited you ask?? Because I reached 100 followers. Never thought I would enjoy being stalked so much but it feels so good!
I might be a blog addict. Or as I would prefer to look at it, I have a new best friend. Blogger. I am distancing myself with Facebook, don't want to end on bad terms you know? Actually, I only go on Facebook to see what blogging friends have posted.
My husband said he has to be careful what he says because he sees the wheels spinning in my head on how I can turn our conversation into a blog. And look here, I just did! Everything that I do, I am thinking about writing. Believe it or not, I think it is healthy. Not just from an addict standpoint but because I don't watch t.v anymore. Except for Greys Anatomy. We will never break up.
My next door neighbor comes over with her kids and you know what we talk about? Blogs. We will be friends forever. She's even going to start her own blog, she really is, even if I start it for her.
I only get dressed when I am doing a fashion post, otherwise it's pj's for me. I don't leave the house because what if I miss someones newest post?
When I see I have a new follower I jump for joy, just like when I get a letter in the mail.
Someone (whom I love dearly) once said, if I spent as much time as I do on the blog training our puppy, she could be amazing. It's true. Maybe I will train her to type?
So here I am, in love with blogging and all my new friends!! Thanks for all of your friendships and sweet comments friends!!
Hey girl! I'm a new follower - #101 I think : ) I LOVE your blog. I'm a new blogger too : )
ReplyDeletehurray! happy 100!!! :) i'm creeping up behind you at 77 and blown away that many people are reading! CRAZY TRAIN right?
ReplyDeleteyayyy!!! thats so exciting. and i know how you feel- blogging is my OBSESSION!! love, love, love it.
ReplyDeletegreat photo! Haha most of my storied to my husband start...so I was reading a blog...I only get on facebook to check emails from friends:)
ReplyDeleteHahaha I was cracking up while reading this! I feel the exact same way! I think thoughts like, "okay, I have to remember that because it would be a great blog post!" I feel bad for my FB because I've become increasingly negligent, but hey? Blogger was eclipsing my attention, so I went that-a-way!
ReplyDeleteFabulous photo! I feel the same way..just like today..after walking Adam to school I turned the laptop on to check my blog and other things and guess what..my screen was fried..oh lovely..now how am I going to blog? Well..I'm using Christopher's Macbook..lol. Now to only replace that screen..grr.
ReplyDeleteWay to go girlfriend! I was just thinking the other day how encouraging and uplifting this blog community can be. I'm thankful for you and all of the thoughts that you post on your blog! Thank you for your honesty and positive attitude...it's contagious:)
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome Karen and true. I love following and reading your blog. :)
ReplyDeleteWahoo for 100! It's a major blogging milestone! Here's to 100 more!
ReplyDeleteAnd kudos to that photographer of your yours!!!!
what a GREAT picture! you are a doll!
ReplyDeletehow NEAT that you have your own paparazzi!!!
glad to hear that you like blogging! i do too! ;)
I totally agree with everything you said!!! Blogging has brought something to my life, I love having made new friends whom in real life may never meet but still consider friends :)
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are passionate about it, congrats on 100 followers too, you are awesome so it's only natural you should see the numbers rise!
The wheels are always in motion in my head too but I think it's healthy :)
I have to laugh at seeing your dog in alot of your pics with his big collar!!
Have a great day and thanks for your comments and for always replying...xo
You may have to start it for me. I don't think any would be interested in my useless knowledge or thoughts. But I do love to read and follow blogs, it's one reason I wake up at 5am and hour before the kids, Drink coffee and catch up with blog land.
ReplyDeleteyour neighbor
Okay, well done! You deserve it. And this post: I love it, you type like you talk (or should I say you talk like you type-blog addict!). And very excited about your new photographer, my 5 year old is really working on his angles, and I secretly delight thinking "he's going to able to blog someday." I'm fairly new to the blogging world, but an idea sparked when you wrote "If I spent as much time as I do on the blog training our puppy.." but all I read was BLOG TRAINING. Now that's it. You need to train us little people with 19 followers how to get more, or maybe just me, and I'll be your friend forever. :) And I'm with you, I feel like starting blogs for my nonblogging friends-all of them!
ReplyDeleteThis is totally me too! Visiting you via your comment on my blog, glad I did :)
ReplyDeleteHahaha!!! You are so funny! I haven't taken a new picture of myself since I started my blog. With 3 little ones, I don't have the time or energy to fix my hair, apply my makeup, or put on something decent to take a picture. I too have my wheels spinning on anything we do, talk about, or whatever my family is doing. I paparazzi everyone with the intention of blogging about it. I was addicted to fb before my blog... now, my fb is a ghost town and I save everything for my blog posts. :) So funny you say that your neighbor will start a blog even if you start one for her. I feel the same way about my family. I love all my new blog friends too. :)
ReplyDeletehaha, you crack me up ;) blogging can be a tad addicting, I must admit! it's a good addiction though because it breeds creativity...which is never a bad thing! hope you have a happy weekend! xoxo {av} | {long distance loving}
ReplyDeleteI love that picture :) It turned out great!! I can totally relate with so much of this. Ever since I've gotten involved with Blogger and this awesome community, I've noticed how little I use Facebook. Most pictures I take and many thoughts that I have are blog-related, and I wouldn't have it any other way!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on getting over 100 followers!! :)
What a great photographer you have there!! I feel like you do with the blogs but I can't figure out what I want to do with mine. I feel like it's just there to update family and friends sometimes... I have a private one though where I can share my thoughts freely. I should give that one to you!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the 100 milestone:-) Isn't blog-world fun?! A tad addicting, but hey, writing is therapeutic, right? xoxo
ReplyDeletecongrats on reaching 100 follows. looks like you may have a future photographer on your hands!
ReplyDeletehope you have a great day!
This is so true!!!! I started blogging back in March and I noticed very quickly how beneficial it was going to be!!! Facebook and I are pretty close to breaking up for good now! :o)
ReplyDeleteYou and your husband are adorable!!! I found your blog via Crowley Party and am following now!! Have a great day!!
xoxo, Sarah Kate

You sound exactly like me!!! Ahhh!!! I get SO excited when I see a new follower! Maybe we can get together and talk about blogs? I'm not very crafty though... so we will have to mostly just talk. lol. Maybe we can dress up that day and and actually get out of our pjs!
