I found this meme and this funny picture on Tori's blog, after Natalie mentioned it to me. It's a fun one!1. How old is your blog?
Eighteen months old. It's starting to lose its baby fat and says new words every day. It could go to Nursery! :)
2. How would you categorize your blog?
Um, I would say it's a family-centered blog, with the occasional news tidbit or opinion article.
3. Are the photos you post Photoshopped or otherwise altered?
I don't have Photoshop. Yet. All the good photos are taken by Natalie, though.
Why is she moving again?
4. Do you lie in your blog?
No. Why would I do that? That would be weird.
5. Are you passive-aggressive in your blog?
Not on purpose, but it's pretty obvious when I want people to go to a certain site :) or tell me how cute my kids are. Does that count?
6. Do you ever threaten to quit writing so people will tell you not to stop?
No, but I have questioned the purpose of blogs many times. I'm over it, though. I'm not going anywhere. My blogfriend, Lindsey, stopped blogging indefinitely last week, and it was really sad. I couldn't do that to you all.
7. Have you deleted any of your own posts? Why?
Not after they've been published. I've deleted many drafts. Because they were stupid or written while I was in a weird or ranting mood, mostly.
8. Do you delete mean comments?
I kind of thrive on mean comments, actually. I've had my share from Anonymous (the mean one, you know him/her?). I publish them, then I write scathing responses. It's fun, because I'm very nonconfrontational in real life. It's kind of an outlet, kind of like telling somebody off in a dream. It just feels better afterwards.
9. If your readers knew you in person, would they like you more or like you less?
I would hope they like me more. If they even like the "blog me" in the first place.
10. How many blogs do you follow?
All the ones in my family & friends sidebar. I honestly know every single one of those people (ok, I've never actually met Jenny), and I can't believe how many people in my life have blogs! It's so great. Thankfully, not everyone updates every day, or I'd waste a lot of time.
11. Which blogger do you want to meet in real life?
The girl who writes Oh Happy Day. I just can't imagine someone who has time for all the lovely things she does.
12. Does your family read your blog?
Yes. That's why I do it!
13. Do you have a hit counter? How often do you check it?
I just installed a new one, because my old one was broken, but I didn't notice it was broken for months. I've only checked the new one like twice. I don't think I fully understand the website, so I can't get any really fun details.
14. Is blogging narcissistic?
Totally. That's why I've had issues with it.
15. Do you feel guilty when you don't post for a long time?
No, but I miss getting comments. They're the only emails I get. (waaah)
Bonus: Do you try to look hot when you go to the grocery store just in case someone recognizes you from your blog?
I always look hot when I go to the grocery store.
Now you do it!

that is fun. i want to do it.
Please don't stop blogging!!!!!! I love the pictures and stories and fun things you do. It makes me feel as if I really know what is happening in your life when I can't see you or hug you and the kids. I love your blogs and all of the rest of my grandchildren's and even David and Dan's when they remember to blog or have time.
Love you very much

Les, have you checked Sean's blog? Some cute pictures of the baby Luke and the twins.

Great answers!!
No Cool Story of www.mascowbell.blogspot.com designed that pic. She's awesome!
cute leslie!
i never look good when i go to the grocery store. i always look like a frazzled mom - wearing a bugar covered tshirt with three whining crazy monsters in-tow
That is the best image ever! I so feel that way. May I steal that image and write about it?
I already miss it....
But it's so much more fun for me to just read what everyone else is saying now. :)
Love this post. It's interesting to see how other people feel about blogging. Very interesting.
And don't you quit! I would be very sad.
mine's in the works, though I confess, I edit memes to serve my own little purposes
I love reading your blog. I hope you never stop or slow down. You are one of the most consistent blogger of my friends and have some of the most interesting posts. Thanks.
i love that! it's so interesting! pop over to my blog and i'll copy you. ps. you are too cute!
Concerning #7
I think you made a post a while back where you questioned the need for people to own guns.
I believe that one got deleted.
ha! i love it.
wow, anonymous, you know my blog better than I do, apparently. i don't ever remember blogging about guns. do you remember more details? maybe I can find the post for you . . .
you got me curious, anonymous. i do remember speaking about owning a gun in my hurricane/disaster preparedness post here. but it's still there, not deleted, and i didn't say that owning a gun was a bad thing. . .
anyway.
It was right after Vice President Cheney shot that guy while he was on a quail hunting outing.
And you also made a post about not understanding how polyagmy got started. That also was deleted from your blog. I think someone "enlightened" about how polyagmy will be practiced in heaven. Who knows you may end up being sealed to a dozen or two men.
I have a modified photographic memory. It rarely fails me. But there are times that I have a memory glitch.
anonymous, i'm sorry, but i think you're having one of your memory glitches. i've searched my blog for a dick cheney reference and there is none. my husband went quail hunting, i blogged about that . . . you seem to have the wrong flowerchain. i did mention not understanding polygamy, i never claimed to be "enlightened" about it, but that's something i have to deal with, not something i need to discuss with you.
btw, you need to proofread your comments before publishing. you have a sentence fragment in your last one that doesn't make sense.
does your modified photographic memory help you remember your google log in info? next time, use it.
bye for now.
it was fun to read this. i love your blog. keep it up!! : )
