A great friend has inspired me to blog about something other than my children. ;)

Will someone please explain to me the purpose of Blogshares? I honestly don't get it.

There is a funny little game going around the blog universe. It goes like this: You type your first name and the word "wants" into your search engine and post the first ten or so phrases that pop up. Clearly, Heather must be a more common porn star name than most. I have absolutely nothing decent to post and feel like I should take a shower after reading my results. YIKES!

A couple we know were bragging to us the other day about how they stopped eating anything with high fructose corn syrup or trans fats. Yeah, I guess that is commendable. They also mentioned that they spent well over $100 on two organic turkeys for Thanksgiving (Is that crazy, or is it just me?) . My husband spoke right up with " I could have walked out behind my house and shot you two turkeys for free. You can't get much more organic than that!" No, I am not kidding, he really said that. Isn't he a prize?

I just realized that I have become one of *those* people. When I was first introduced to message boards, blogs, and such, I couldn't figure out all those secret codes. You know, LOL, ROFL, ROFLMAO, etc., etc. And to be honest, when I did realize what all of that meant, I thought it to be very strange . Now, I find myself typing in the funny internet language all the time. *GASP* I have gone over to the dark side. I still think it is weird when other people do it. LOL (wink)
