The most appalling thing I’ve read in a while

I am absolutely furious after reading this post at a blog I found tonight. Please tell me there is something this woman can do get this story noticed by the media, if that’s the only way to get the bleeping doctor fired. There is nothing that could ever excuse his behavior. NOTHING!

Don’t ever go shopping at noon!

I hadn’t made any “big” grocery shopping trips with the kids in tow for quite a while. But now that Count Dooku is in school I figured I could handle the two other kids while getting a weeks worth of groceries. But it wasn’t them I needed to worry about.

For a long time now, I have noticed that I rarely see any elderly folk shopping at our local grocery store. I figured maybe there weren’t many elderly folks in the area, but I was wrong. They all shop at noon. It is havoc, people, havoc!

There I was, Angel girl in car seat, Obi-Wan riding on the end of the basket, caught in grocery cart traffic. Between the two mile an hour shuffling, the oooh’s and aww’s over Angel girl who was sporting a massive pink bow and the, “Put some socks on that baby!” it took us an hour and a half to do 30 minutes of shopping. I mean no disrespect to the elderly here. I loved the comments on my beautiful family and the adoring glances at my cute kids. But I think I’ll avoid retirement central at the grocery store from here on out. Especially when I’m in a hurry.

Some great news, for me anyway

I pretty much discovered Blogland over night. I knew that Hubby had been “blogging” for a few months and he explained it to me but I really didn’t have any interest. He continued to show me some of his posts and comments and I became more intrigued and started reading and even commenting on occasion on a couple of his blogs. But his circle of blogging is a bit different from the one of which we are a part. They don’t give each other cute awards or have giveaways or all that fun stuff. Plus I really didn’t know that there were personal blogs. All the ones Hubby showed me were group blogs. Anyhow, I asked Hubby one night how he got invited to blog at a certain group blog and he told me he commented regularly and some of the contributors there visited his personal blog and liked what they saw.

“Wait,” I stopped him, “You have your own blog?”

He shrugged like I should have known that and then showed it to me. And suddenly it all clicked. Thoughts of grandeur swarmed into my head.

People will read my stuff! I’ll have a following!

Now, my motivations weren’t all egocentric, but who doesn’t imagine being popular or famous at times? Anyhow, I suddenly grasped the concept of blogging and that I could say what I wanted to say, hopefully help others with some of my life experiences and maybe have some regular readers who appreciated my thoughts. That very night, I set up my blog (yes, I’m very internet savvy) and began posting. Then I was off to comment and try to attract readers. Somehow I ran across Stacey’s blog the first “mom” blog I had encountered and I knew this was the place to start.

I’ve had a lot of fun blogging and making new friends. But I have been a bit sad that no one else I know in “real” life has caught onto the blogging thing. But I needn’t be sad any longer.
Not one, but TWO of my very close friends, have decided to take the plunge into the blogging world.

The first is my oldest and closest friend Michelle who I wrote about here

The second is Alonna (Loni) who just moved to England where her husband is attending University.

So if you feel like it, I would love for you to go visit them, welcome them and give them some comment love as they start discovering the fun of blogging.
