Yep. Been there. Done that too. Blank stares and all. It’s like “Mom Blogger” is a four letter word. I hardly ever mix IRL with Online life. And when one of my two readers who are also from RL mentions something about my blog I am momentarily startled and speechless.

My family doesn’t get it. They read but they don’t understand.
You get it.

I have a similar problem when someone asks me “How are you?”. Well, i wrote about it on my blog- but of course, you haven’t read my blog, so…
I start to ramble, pretty much, exactly what I wrote on my blog to them.
Maybe it’s just me.

I totally loved Solid Gold!

Totally love this. When I first started blogging that was all I talked about with people and all I ever got was blank stares back. Now I’ve sucked most people into my blog world, but here’s a question…how do you address people who feel what you blog about doesn’t fit your blog? Yes, you did read that right. About a month or so ago I wrote a blog on a health update on myself and got attacked by a family member for veering off my blog topic of trying to conceive. Really? This is my blog and I will write about whatever I want even if it is me ranting and complaining about incompetent doctors instead of warm, smiling babies. It’s the bloggers against the non-bloggers in my opinion.

Wow, you cross paths with some *special* people – everyone I tell loves the idea and is jealous! Guess you have to move to San Francisco!

All I have to say is “Solid Gold.” I loved that show.

LOL, I can relate as well. Next time you’re in that situation, give ‘em the ‘Bend and Snap’ (Legally Blonde) at least then, you’ll knock them out on your way up and won’t have to explain anything else, LOL

Dude. I feel you. I’m noddin my head like yeah.

Ever feel like saying you’re a blogger is kind of like admitting you’ve been to jail for a crime? Like, “yeah, I write a blog” which is in the same tone as “yeah, I’ve done time for breaking and entering”. Only bloggers get other bloggers.

yep- it’s true. We are completely unappreciated in our own time. Maybe when we’re dead we’ll have a leagcy. Or not.

I’ve often been on that edge of “should I tell them, can I trust them, do I want them to know?” and luckily, I have rarely opened my mouth, but when I have it goes over their head or lost in an eye roll.
