The Poll For a Fine, Fabulous Friday

Ah, what can I say. I felt like some alliteration.


Have you ever looked at what you've written on your blog and cracked yourself up?


Or is it just me?

And if you are in the mood for some kickin' Halloween music, head on over to Py Korry and get yourself some! Oh, and there just might be some music from yours truly in there somehwere as well.

Naturally! I spend way too much time reading my own blog.

Rarely. I hardly ever read what I've written once I hit publish, unless I am looking for an old post that I am referencing or updating.

I'll look immediately after I post, but then it's out of sight, out of mind.

Unless someone else brings it up. Which rarely happens, now that I think about it. So noone else looks up things on my blog either, apparently. Hmmph!

Not sure I liked this poll AT ALL.

Yep :-). And then I find the typos, and then a vicious cycle begins...

Honestly, yes. But the things I think are really funny, no one else seems to appreciate.

Yes. Is that arrogant?

How are the fires?

Yeah! But it's usually when I see a typo in the post. :-)

Sometimes I crack me up, yes...but I do love going back and reading what I've written. Then I wonder why more people aren't interested in what I have to say. Then I realize it's boring to others, and I give up.

Nope.

(Because when I read it later it's with the critical eye that asks me why I even bother)

Nope. :)

No, I can't say I have. When I go back and reread my stuff, I usually think it's pretty silly.

Beenzzz said…
Yes! I was rereading some of my stuff and laughed my a$$ off at a few. Some of the comments cracked me up too.

Sometimes. But sometimes it makes me shudder.

Oh, sometimes I slay me! But then sometimes I read old stuff and cringe.

all the time. especially when i think i have written something especially witty and no one has commented. i laugh at myself for being a nut.

Granny said…
I see the typos too.

I'm not really witty in print although I've told a few stories about the girls that were funny.

I do go back once in a while and read but usually I'd rather read what others are doing.

Nance said…
Oh, my, yes. I think some of my very best stuff is my earliest stuff when no one was reading. Every so often, I'll link to a Vintage Nance post that I really love just to give it its due.

Everyone should do that. Why else do we have blogs if we don't think we deserve to be read?

Of course! What's the point of blogging if you can't derive some self-satisfaction from it?

As for typos, that's what the edit function is for. I preview everything, and if I start cringing while I'm reading something in preview I won't post it. I'm kinda like the Neil Young of bloggers - Young allegedly has close to 1000 songs he's written and recorded over the years that he's never released because he feels they're not up to his standards.

I do make myself laugh sometimes, but it surprises me when it happens.

I know it's Saturday, but I was out most of Friday, so...In answer to the question, I'm going to have to go with GMCountryMama and say, "Only when I'm drunk."

Onward

The end of the school year, finally! Did I tell you that my son went to public school this past year? Did I tell you that my daughter was in a regular Kinder classroom this year? Although it was nice to have them both in school, there were definitely things I was not so hip on, such as having to wake up at 5:20 every morning just to get everyone out the door on time.  And then after all the driving and dropping off, going to work. Such fun! I had forgotten the dreariness of having to complete mounds and mounds of homework (even though new research has shown that homework, especially for Kinder, is for shit).  Of constant deadlines and fundraisers and things I am supposed to volunteer for. My daughter had a good year, but was definitely not without its bumps. Her teacher, an older, highly experienced, practical woman with a Master's in Education, kept referring to my daughter as an "inclusion student."  It wasn't her name or just "student" but was

Fallen Between the Cracks

Why did I stop writing here? With the grace of 20/20 hindsight, there were a LOT of reasons. My daughter's journey would get tougher and tougher, and as I added work into the mix of raising two kids, it was one more thing I just didn't have time for. And well, that work thing.  It sure does suck a lot of free time away, doesn't it?  Even though I am still only part time. I will be honest, as much as I adored all the people on the blogosphere that were kind enough to grace me with their wit and time, I just could not keep up with the constant commenting that I felt was only fair to these wonderful people.   So instead, what did I do? I did what any self respecting coward would do. I ghosted, of course. Not that I think my absence was enough to cause people to be distressed, but I feel badly if anyone felt slighted. Even as I write this, I feel like I am being waaaay too self important.  Isn't that the whole point of a blog, though?  Nobody writes a blog that doesn't

Apples and Oranges

Perhaps some of you may have noticed, but the real estate market is beginning a tumble in prices that benefit us, prospective buyers. And we're going to wait. That is cold, cold comfort to those such as J and Py , who are attempting to sell their place as we speak. But, we're not going to wait too much longer, if that makes them feel any better. There is no sense trying to time the bottom of the market, and we have been putting off moving, oh, since Mr. P was born because of the huge runup in prices. So huge that at one point, we could barely afford to buy our own place from ourselves. We should be ok even if we sell at a lower price than we could have gotten say, two years ago. We have, however, a dilemma. We have narrowed our choices down to two cities. And we are stuck there. We just can't figure out which city is better, and they are oh-so-different. Let me give you a rundown. City 1 Older, smaller houses (in our price range) Larger lots Beach city Infrastructure
