Banana Boobs

So, this happened to me today.

My post about my iPhone addiction (click here for the link) was featured on WordPress’ cover page and the hits went off the charts. My blog hasn’t seen that much action since well over a year ago when I discussed good ole’ Robert Knecht Schmidt (Jeopardy! contestant extraordinaire). Turns out Robert K.S. Googled himself, found my blog, commented on it and posted it to his personal Facebook page. Suddenly, I was a big hit in Central Ohio. Well, for about ten minutes. Then, I completely freaked out and pulled the post (you can read it here now) because, back then, I was still posting pictures of my kids and using our real names.

Anyway, I guess “Freshly Pressed” on WordPress is a pretty popular thing and I want to say thank you to the many, many, many bloggers out there who are clearly more tuned-in than I and who sent along a hearty congratulations to me for getting the nod from WordPress. Hope you’ll all keep reading.

So, yeah. That was big.

Oh, and someone else found me on the very same day when they searched Google with the term “banana boobs”.

See?

And, that’s almost more awesome.

On another note, I’m pretty sure there’s something very dangerous going on in my boys’ bathroom. It might just be a black hole. Or maybe a time warp. ‘Cause I’m telling you, my friends, my kids go in there and something happens to their little minds. They will spend no less than 15 minutes sometime and emerge with slightly dazed looks.

Me: Everything ok?

Yeah.

Did you remember to flush?

Oh. Um, no.

Did you wash your hands?

Um.

Did you WIPE?!?

Seriously?! I mean, really, child.

What in the world goes on in there?

Did you hear about bin Laden’s porn collection? Apparently, the world’s most dangerous man kept a porn collection that would make Larry Flynt proud. At first, this confused me. I mean, how many wives did he have?? Like, 12 or something? And still he wasn’t getting enough action? Hm.

Maybe he just kept getting married hoping the next wife would be as frisky post-marriage as she was pre-.

Guess not.

So, apparently Middle Eastern wives aren’t a whole lot different than American ones.

Big Brother came up from our basement playroom last night and announced that the Wii had stopped working.

I’m pretty sure it died of exhaustion.

I got onto StumbleUpon’s front page once. Don’t know how or why, buy man oh man, was I in heaven! I think this was the post that got me there:

And I totally get the play outside reference. My kids were peeved when I wouldn’t run power into the treehouse so they could watch tv there. They think they can’t go play outside if their gameboys aren’t charged.

Congrats, girl! Although, I have to admit…i have no idea what Freshly Pressed is. I am such a social media loser. Blogs I can do. Other than that. Forget it.

I hear you on the gaming though. So embarrassing…tonight I brought the ballerinas out to the beach during a photo class. For half of the time, they played on my freakin’ phone instead of enjoying the beach!

Congrats on Freshly Pressed! I had the exact same reaction when I was freshly pressed – I was looking at my stats wondering how I jumped to four digits in a few hours. Totally bizarre/awesome. I’ve enjoyed reading around your blog and look forward to more!

Very funny.

I especially love your bathroom commentary. I think I have that exchange with my 6 yr. old about 5 times a day.

Congrats on Freshly Pressed!

Congratulations. It happened to me about 12 months ago. I know what you mean about the spike in hits. Well done.

Oh, and your blog subtitle is really funny, too.

(You know, I WAS using that fork. Why?)

I loved your comment about bin Laden’s collection. Maybe he was the problem and he was trying to pick up some tips. LOL

Are you sure it wasn’t because I linked to that post one Saturday? (jk) congrats on being noticed–I’ll bet that was fun.:)

Boys…always interesting. 🙂
