My Mother Found The Queen But Not Me
I promised to scan in my old school pictures and I know you are all waiting very patiently to see me embarrass myself. When I went to search for these photos in my archives shoebox, I realized I didn’t have all my class pictures. This was perplexing to me, because I could have sworn I had kindergarten through senior year, but I was missing at least 3rd through 6th grades. I was then prompted to call my mother and ask her to find them for me.
“Hi Mom, it’s me.”
“Oh, how nice of you to call.”
“Yeah, so can you find my school pictures? I need them for a project I’m working on.”
“What kind of project? Scrap booking?”
“Well, no, not really. I mean, I could scrap them after I’m done.”
“What are you doing?”
“I’m going to scan them into my computer.”
“Oh…..Then what?”
“Then I’m going to post them on my blog for all the world to see.”
“You are? You know, I still don’t know your blog address. I think you’re hiding things for me.”
“Me? Hiding things? Never. I told you the address. You read it, I know you do.”
“Every time I type in your name, I somehow see so many links, but end up at the Queen of Spain. And you know what? It’s not even the REAL queen. I hope you know that. Don’t be fooled!”
“Yes, mother, I do know that. Why are you typing my name? Why aren’t you typing the address I gave you?”
“I’m afraid to see what you are telling the world. I just don’t want to read it.”
“Uh huh. So can you find those pictures please?”

Heh. Moms are funny. I don’t think mine even knows what a blog IS. She’s never finding mine, if I have anything to say about it.

I haven’t even told my mother I blog. She’s online doing the email thing several times a day, and I just KNOW she’d read my blog every day if she knew about it. And really, I don’t feel like sharing that much with her. Besides, what if I want to whine about her? The feelings are easily hurt. It’s best if I have a separate outlet (like my blog and my husband) to express my feelings.

HOW is your Mom typing in your name in a search bar and ending up at Erin’s? Your URLs are nothing alike!
My Dad has my URL but I don’t think he’s ever read it. I wouldn’t care if he did though, at 40 years old I no longer care what my Dad thinks! Well, not much at least

Erin! Of COURSE YOU ARE! I can’t tell that to my mother, she may have me committed.
Elizabeth, I comment at Erin’s blog a lot and apparently my ranking is lower (or higher number atleast) than hers so my mother finds her blog first. Isn’t that hilarious!
