Why?
1) Mommy blogs are boring.
They give me a headache--all those side badges, random giveaways where you "earn" chances to win things through incredibly lazy marketing ploys, and entry after entry of photos that no one gives a crap about.
And even worse, I was starting to write like a boring mommy blogger. I still fall into it every once in a while--you can tell when I do it because I start putting exclamation points after everything. "Mo-mo almost crawled today! It was so cute! She is so sweet!" Blarf.
This blog was my wake-up call to get off my ass and write something that people (not counting those related by blood) might actually enjoy reading.
2) I refuse to take myself that seriously.
Writing about an average day at the park and posting photos about it is boring even to me. Unless a rabid squirrel attacked my foot or I have a way to make it an interesting story, I can't believe that people really want to hear about it.
3) I'm a smartass.
But you probably already figured that out.
Although she is the sweetest and cutest baby in world. I don't even have to use exclamation points to get my point across, I just have to post this photo.
Best photo ever.
ReplyDeleteJust now reading this - thanks for the shout-out!
ReplyDeleteI'm now realizing there's no way to use the term 'shout-out' without sounding like I'm on TRL and/or MTV spring break. I take it back.
What sucks is that I feel like I have no time to write. I have a couple of hours to myself before I go to bed, and there always seems to be something more important (like Jersey Shore reruns...) I have about 6 posts half finished. Maybe I'll churn out some more soon. ;)
