If you’re reading this, that’s a good thing. It means you found me. I moved!! I fancied up the joint a bit and am trying to figure out this whole blogging thing still. Well, the blogging thing is going ok– uh, I think. It’s this new hosting thing/learning all about CSS editing and html codes and other acronyms that I have no idea what they hell they mean. It’s kinda fun. I am certainly a tech savy girl but I never really tought I’d be geeking it up and making websites. (Well, I guess I haven’t officially geeked it up. This is after all just a template. Thank you random interweb person!) But I’m kinda starting to get it and it’s always fun learning new things.
Not too long ago I discovered how cool Twitter is. And yes, I know, what rock have I been hiding under that it took me so damn long to figure out what all the hype was about? I dunno, but I finally did it and now I’m totally hooked. Twitter so reminds me of like 1996. Back when I thought AOL was THE internet. Talking to strangers again brings me back to those good ol’ chat room days. However, now that I have been on Twitter a bit longer, a lot of those strangers are actually turning into twit-friends? Tweeps? I dunno, again, there is a term for them I am sure. I mean now I talk to some of these Twitter Folk more than I talk to some of my “real” friends. So, ya, me likes the Twitter.
Anyways, while on Twitter one day I had the opportunity to chat with @EasyExpression. Easy Expression is a very cool company that makes these awesome hands-free pumping bras by the way. @EasyExpression was looking for some breastfeeding/pumping mamas to spotlight in their blog. I figured, hey, I’m a breastfeeding/pumping mama, I could totally do that. So I did! If you so desire to check it out you can do so here. I think it’s pretty cool. I’ve never done anything like this before so it was new & fun. Plus, I never really knew the depth of this about myself until more recently but I am 100% PRO Breastfeeding & PRO Breastfeeding rights and thought this was a neat way to put a little something out there positive about breastfeeding and my experience in doing so. It’s just a little tiny start. (And even though I am new to blogging and I don’t really get the whole thing I will let you all know that I did receive one of their awesome hands-free pumping bras in exchange for answering their questions and agreeing to be spotlighted. & that was all. They did not ask me to write about them, nor did I feel obligated to do so, nor am I not telling the truth about their product because I honestly use the bra when I’m pumping and I love it! I had looked at buying one but then I got one from them so then I didn’t have to. The end.)
Tying into both the amazing thing that is the interweb/blogging and breastfeeding and Twitter, you may have noticed that I added a cool little badge over there to the right. (I dunno, is badge the right word? Like I said, I’m still trying to get the lingo right…?) Do you see it? The boobies that say Economic Stimulus Packages? (Hee hee, I love them!!) It is a fabulous PRO breastfeeding campaign that is going on and headed by Best for Babes. Go click on those boobies to find out more about their fab campaign. Well, maybe do it when you’re done reading this insanely long ramble. Please & thank you.
While I do love the interweb, it can sometimes be a love/hate relationship. Well, what I guess I mean is, I always love the internet. Maybe too much! As I sit here typing this now there are seriously like 500 other things I could be doing. Such as tackling that mountain of clean laundry, cleaning up R’s room, geting a head start on making dinner, or for reals, like so many other things! But no, here I am sitting with my BF, Mac, hanging out at our most fav location. If I didn’t know that N also loved him some interwebs so much too, I might say he hates it, because of the time I waste on it. As I finished typing that I realize that that is actually probably a true statement after all. See what I mean? It is a true love/hate relationship. Except really, I spend 99.9% of that relationship head over heels.
So thank you interweb & Twitter & all (5?!) of you who read this little blog. Thanks for sucking all the time out of my days. No, really, thanks for being there. I really do heart you too!
Nice work. Your blog is really developing.
