(Yes, my boobs really are that big)
I don't blog three times a day, sometimes not even three times weekly, I don't do entrecard falling or dropping or whatever they call it, I suck at tags (I'm always like, do I even know that many bloggy people?), I don't do any kind of great giveaways and I don't twit or tweet or whatever they call it now.
I tried twitter, I really did, but I am JUST NOT THAT INTO IT.
Yes, I said it.
Twitter to me is like high school. I feel like I'm trying to pry my way with a crowbar into the circle of girls in the corner twirling their hair and smacking bubble gum.
And those tweet-up things? Yeah, I have no clue what anybody's talking about half the time.
And Facebook, yeah right. I told my husband to just add me to his facebook page. Now we're known as Brandon-Kate on Facebook.
I figure, dude, if you want to talk to me, you know where you can find me. I have a phone - two of them actually - I have email, I have a post office box, and, I'm here aren't I? Hello? You want a facebook update? Well, I'm either stalking deadbeats for the investigations business, writing about medical malpractice jury verdicts, buying groceries, cleaning the dog, cleaning the kid, cleaning the floors, taking the kid to whatever function he has that day, making dinner, writing meaningless drivel here at Thoughts From a Desperate Housewife, planning my escape, removing wallpaper, or ridding my entire house of fuzz from top to bottom. I mean seriously, just today I ended up wiping the floors twice. Right after I had already cleaned all the hardwood throughout the entire house, I picked up a piece of something that shall remain nameless, but lets just say, we were all trying to figure out if it came from the kid or the dog. And then, instead of feeding the dog what I thought was a glass of water I found on the counter, I ended up feeding her Diet 7-Up. Needless to say, soda pop and dogs with beards do not mix. Until I noticed it I had a dog that was seriously sticking to my floors. So really, do I have time to twit all day?
Just the other day I was reading somewhere some lady's daily schedule. Just to blog and get in about a million visits to her bloggy friends everyday, she wakes up at like 5 in the morning. Who gets up to read blogs at 5 a.m? Not me dude, I'm nice and toasty in my bed at 5 in the morning. Unless of course, the dog starts freaking out in her bed and wakes up the entire house, but other than that, I don't grace the world with my presence until about 8 a.m.
And you know the saying, "I blog when I should be cleaning house"? Well, I have a different philosophy around here. I clean house when I should be blogging.

And I wear my "wasted blog" badge proudly.....

You know, that is how I feel sometimes. The energy to blog will elude me. I have no ideas that come to me. And the peopel who blog more than once a day. Way to much time on their hands.
I've been trying to get traffic to my blog, it's not working. I feel like you do, no one wants to let you in there circle.
I don't twitter, or face-book, have more than once considered deleted my myspace page (the only reason I haven't is because a childhood friend whom I haven't heard from in forever just found me she wants me to join FB)
I write blogs and/or read blogs when I should be cleaning and/or planning my escape.
I don't do contests, because am not that creative AND I have noting to give that somebody would want as a prize.
The visual of your dog sticking to the floor is quite hilarious.
I thoroughly enjoy your blog. It makes me laugh and smile. Confessions from a three year old crack me up!
You are doing fine as a blogger as there are no set rules to follow, no one to censor you and you can do whatever the hell you want!
Keep up the good work lady! Don't change
Oh THANK-YOU! Somebody finally said it! I just don't get why Twitter exists! I tried it and I did not fall in love with it! Even worse, it would not let me upload ANY picture so that I can have an identity! I twitted "Goodbye Twitter forever b.c. you're not nice to me!" Really. Facebook... I'm trying to learn my way around.
Blogging goes in cycles for me and usually suffers when my fiction writing is going well and thrives when it is not.
*chuckles*...I tweet posts mainly as all these followers of mine rarely reply to anything I say so what's the point (but it has driven more visitors to me as well as Entrecard), I am on facebook (but that's more for old friends and family), and I'm trying to blog more frequently w/o spending so much time online. I think I'm burning out...lol
Personally I enjoy visiting you here! Never a dull moment and "just you"!
Oh Kate - you are a step ahead of me in figuring this whole scene out. I love your vibe girl - from the first time I read you. Seriously. I love coming by here. I just joined Twitter one week ago - why? I have no friggin' clue. Just to see I guess. And you are SO RIGHT!! All the cool peeps are talking and I'm like trying to jump in feeling like an ass!! It's weird. I'm trying to think of it as something I'm learning about to keep up with "what the kids are doing these days" but we'll see how long it lasts.
I think your blog rules and you have a great voice. Write when you can and I will always stop by....
:-)

Well you are the sensible one. I am not cool enough to have facebook or twitter (tried but just do not get it) and I have stopped doing Entrecard because I cant figure the point of dropping cards - its like gambling but what do you win exactly. I never pass on awards. I dont do tags either as a rule. I do post every second or third day and I do visit others blogs that are on my list. Thats all I can manage but writing to me has to be the number 1 priority. Oh, and you have nice boobs...lol
Good post! I don't do Twitter. It's beyond me, really. I do Facebook a couple times a week. I find that anything more than my blog, I'm just not using my time wisely. I'm with you. I'd rather clean and declutter than be on the computer. It's so much more rewarding!
Yes and no. Yes and agree and NO, I do not understand Twitter. I was reading the other day how Twitter is the new guideline by which we are rated. I am afraid this will be my downfall as I see Twitter as having advantages, but none to me.
I always look at it this way; I may squeeze in a galpal outing once every month. Why is there a need to chat every ten minutes to anyone? Why is there a need to visit online friends more than I visit "real life" pals?
I don't get it so we can not get it together.
I hardly tweet but I do facebooking once a while
I have a Twitter account and no idea what to do with it - I just can't get into it. Maybe if I were out and about driving and knew how to use my cell phone to do stuff like that, it would be interesting. But when I'm on my computer all day? Who cares what I'm doing?
I can't, for the life of me, conceive of posting every day, let alone more than once a day. I just don't have that much to say. I can barely post every other day. I wish I could manage my time better, but I'd need 30 hours in a day as a head start.
Dude... I followed you just 'cuz you say dude like I do... all the freakin time!
Can you get any more lovely? Holy Crap!
Love your blog...gonna come back a lot... just sayin'
Someone help me, I have been invaded by the Facebook body snatchers. You see, people with the self will and self discipline of a bowl of jello are those that you will find on Facebook.
These same people don't have fuzz free floors.
I know, not a shocker.
Kate...your blog is one of the ones I miss perusing on a daily basis. You are gifted friend, truly gifted.
Thank you so much for your comments over at my place today. I loved when you said, "I want to be my sons' first example of Jesus" Your heart for your little man is beyond beautiful.
I'm sure God thinks so too.
I'm too addicted to blogging and Twitter. I need help. But I don't get up at 5 AM that's for sure! Your blog is just perfect the way it is.
Great post!! I don't Twitter. I suck at entrecard. I haven't been commenting to you b/c I lost your URL (is that right?). I FB, but I mainly just collect friends. And I am no way getting up at 5 am for anything!
Great post! I, too, don't do well with all the blogging "extras"!
Congrats on your SITS day!
I LOVE this post. Absolutely agree (though I did just join FB, but only to get more blog hits, I'm pathetic).
I posted last week about my love-hate relationship with blogger - that stinkin' followers widget drives me up the wall.
Happy Saucy day. It's great to meet you.
Perfectly stated. I don't Twitter, FB, or any of those other things you mentioned. I blog for me - on my terms and when it works for me. Growing up my mother neglected us kids to focus on her hobby (quilting). I remind myself every day that the point is to EXPERIENCE life, not blog about it.
Visiting from SITS,
