Filtered and Forbidden

If there’s one thing you learn about the Internet right away, it’s that some things shouldn’t be there. Besides the obvious (boobs, guns, and bad words). You’ve all seen the Facebook status where you cringe…someone goes off on a spouse, or says something so wildly inappropriate you start to reconsider your Facebook membership and start thinking you should bleach the computer screen…

Blogging is the same thing. Some blogs: Yahoo! Other blogs: Not so much. When I first started blogging, I pictured being able to mock and generally humourously skewer the wacky people and off-kilter events in my life.  And I do…

Sort of.

Some things are SO off limits, I realized. Like my parents. Sure they’re wacky at times, and we’ve had some interesting moments. But. I like them, and I want to be able to go back to my home state/town when the mood strikes (Thanksgiving…I’m in it for the candied yams. Tick off Dad, no yams) You don’t want to offend the people who made your actual being on this planet possible, the repercussions are jarring and yam-less.

Also off limits, turns out, are the people in my neighborhood. I kept the blog to myself in my hometown for a loooooooong time, but I want to be famous and hopefully rich, and that won’t happen if no one reads my blog which will lead to buying the book I’m writing and then I’ll want them to watch me on tv. I had to tell people about it and if I told them, ‘go read my blog’ and they did, and when they got there I’ve mocked them to their faces, I’m not going to last long in this town. And if I can’t go to my home town, and I get kicked out of this town, where the heck will I live? Canada? I don’t think so.

I also like being married. Mocking Blair is very fine line. He’s an ultra good sport about this, and generally likes my posts. Plus, I like him. And he’s hot. So, no sharing the good stuff on the blog. You’re welcome:)

Thank heaven my kids not only don’t read the blog, they don’t care about it one bit. They think I am old and irrelevant and this can only mean that my blog is old and irrelevant WHICH IT IS NOT. IT IS FUNNY AND FUN AND AWESOME.

So. Here we are. With:

**No stories about my parents, although I could probaby do Blair’s, I don’t think anyone in his family reads this. Half of them don’t understand the Internet, and the other half don’t believe in it.

**No stories about my neighbors…including the ones who’s kids were selling their family’s pears, and telling people it was for their trip to Disneyland:)

**No stories about my sisters, because they tell on themselves:)

You are left with me. Thank Heaven I’ve got enough crazy for THREE YEARS OF BLOGGING!!!

Which brings me to my last thing:

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY SAHMSISTERS!!!

September marks our 3rd year blogging. Our first little ‘blogspot’ went up in September of 2008, and we’ve been addicted ever since. Any minute, I am going to get famous and meet Matt Lauer and then Kelly Ripa.  AND:  We are going to give away a fabulous prize which will be announced Wednesday.

Wow:)

You gotta love the Internet:)
