  • Mom Bloggers, Old School Blogging, Memes and Zombie Chickens

    Zombie_chicken_award

    Yes, it's that time of year — what, is it almost BlogHer…again? — all snarkiness aside, mostly, there's already been lots of drama, filling up my Twitter stream, enough to choke a chicken.  Not that I ever would…choke a chicken, I mean…still, I think that this would be good time, as any, to bring back an old school blogging tradition.

    The dreaded blog meme.

    [pronounced "meem" like in the word "dream," for you young whippersnappers]

    It's sort of like a chain letter, only, less annoying – especially, if it says something nice about, you know, somebody else – and I remember the days when the blog meme was just a really cool way to pass along some linky love.

    You see, I'm late.  [eyes go wide]  NO!  Not that late!  [knocking on wood until knuckles bleed]  I mean, earlier this month, Lisa [a.k.a. Lisa Wants the Floor] said some really nice things about me.  Like, I made her stomach hurt (??) or, something like that and then she gave me something called the Zombie Chicken award!

    [scratches head]

    I think it's contagious.  Now I have to give it to someone else.  Well, because It's a rule:

    THE ZOMBIE CHICKEN AWARD

    "The blogger who receives this award believes in the Tao of the zombie chicken – excellence, grace and persistence in all situations, even in the midst of a zombie apocalypse. These amazing bloggers regularly produce content so remarkable that their readers would brave a raving pack of zombie chickens just to be able to read their inspiring words. As a recipient of this world-renowned award, you now have the task of passing it on to at least 5 other worthy bloggers. Do not risk the wrath of the zombie chickens by choosing unwisely or not choosing at all…"

    See, I really don't have any choice in the matter, so here it goes:

    1. Busy Mom (http://www.busymom.net)  One word:  Trendsetter – she was a busy before it was cool – the mother of all bloggers, figuratively speaking, of course, because, she's not THAT old, really.
    2. Suburban Scrawl (http://www.suburbanscrawl.blogspot.com)  Two words:  Mommy Porn – this woman hooks me up with my fake celebrity boyfriends – go get you some.
    3. Mommy Needs Coffee (http://www.mommyneedscoffee.com) Three words:  She Talks Funny – writes pretty gosh-darned good, too.
    4. The Bean Blog (http://www.thebeanblog.com/) Four words:  She's Got Five Kids – and she's still lives to write about – 'nuf said.
    5. The Mommy Blog (http://www.themommyblog.net)  Five words:  Been Reading Her Long Time – she's smart and funny as hell…if there was a hell…and it was funny…I mean – you should be, too.

    Thank you for all of your inspiration, for knowing that I am a dork, but liking me, anyway (I think) and in true Golden Girl fashion, thank you for being a friend.

    Pass it along, or play along, if you wish.  My job is done, here.  Frankly, I don't need no wrath from no zombie chickens!

    In Other News:  I admit it, my house stinks, how about yours?  Right.  But, help me win a room makeover and I'll love you, forever — vote for us, here!
