Ok! So yes, I started a blog....and it now occurs to me that I have to write it. I must say, it was kind of exciting yesterday to push the "publish" button...but I also must say that it was kind of scary too. Let me also just put it out there...this is my second blog. Yes, my second blog. I started the first one two days ago. Where is that blog you might ask? Well, that was the problem. I don't know. With all the frenzy of trying to start this whole blog thing, I kind of forgot what address I signed my blog up for. So....that was it for my first blog...no viewers...not even me! Sad.
So take note... The first thing I'm trying to tell you is to remember your blog address if you start one.
My kids know I started a blog...I didn't say they were happy about it, they just know. My husband called from Texas to ask how our trip was going. "Great," I said. "We have seen deer,the weather has been gorgeous, been to a couple of parties, oh and I started a blog!" He now knows I have started one too....I didn't say he was happy about it , he just knows.
He too knows I have stuff to tell people...I tell him stuff ALL the time!
The camera on the computer is a great tool, unless of course it is used at my expense. What do I mean by this? My two daughters ( ages 9 and 17)know how excited I was to post my first blog. You think they would take part in my joy, but no, they saw it as a chance to pounce on me, I
was their prey. The set up goes a little like this....my daughters are talking to the camera on the computer. They are telling the viewer that their mom just posted a blog. They were going to call me into the room and tell me I had a Follower. They suggested that I would come
frantically in the room, freaking out that someone read my blog,of course, not knowing what the little dears were up to, I would run in there and it would be caught on camera.
The girls yelled into the room I was in, "Mom! Mom! You have a Follower! Honestly, it had only been minutes since I first posted the blog. My daughters, so cute, but such novices when it comes to pranks... Or so I thought! "Yeah right," I said. "Good one!" I wasn't going to fall
for that.... My little 9 year old ran in, "Mom, Mom, you have a Follower!" they are so
silly...I wouldn't have one this soon....or would I? What if I did? What if it was like the 1st blog in the whole world that went viral that fast? I say that as I am walking, now running into the room. "where does it say I have a Follower?" The angle of the camera was such, that
you could only see my body walk into the room. A Headless Blogger so to speak. You can hear the concern in my voice, the seriousness with which I am looking for my first Follower. You
can not see the furrow in my brow, but it is evident with the headless body's hands-on-hips gesture. My oldest then states, only after I have been frantically looking for my Follower for a while, "Oh! I guess you don't. My bad!" ...and just that easy it was caught on camera! They know me so well!
