My Wednesday Rant...

I was going to link up to SO WHAT Wednesday... but something has gone awry with Shannon's blog, so instead I bring you my Wednesday Rant...

SO WHAT... if I used profanity on my blog last week.  I didn't even really use it, I just posted this saying I found on Pinterest.  It wasn't supposed to be offensive... it was supposed to me more of a "Yay Me" I am getting out and about.

I am constantly reading "foul" language in other blogs... but it doesn't bother me. If you do not like something you read about on a blog... then guess what? You do not have to read that blog anymore. 

 There are lots of things I read that make me cringe or make me mad.  I stop reading those blogs.  I have never once left an anonymously rude comment.   I have never left a rude comment. 

You don't need to submit an anonymous comment to the blogger like the one I got which said "I have to say that I have read your blog for sometime and have really enjoyed keeping up with you....but.... I can say I will never visit again...what an ugly word you have used....bye for good and May God have mercy on your soul!".

I don't think I need to ask God to have mercy on my soul... I am not sure how ONE word on a blog can offend someone... Lesson learned... I have made it so people can no longer leave an anonymous comment.  If you have something to say, don't hide.  Own it. 

Miscellany Monday

I am linking up at lowercase letters today for Miscellany Monday. 

 

1. Craiglist Find - I have been wanting some sort of sofa table thingy for my entry way.  Saturday night I looked on Craigslist and found one!! So Sunday we piled in the car and took the 40 minute trip to pick it up.  I love this table - it's actually called a country server.  It is made out of solid pine and still is sold in the store for $179.99.  I have plans for some fun paint for it and some new knobs - I cannot wait to share it when it's finished.

2. Reality TV - This morning after Madison left for school I crawled back in bed and watched Sister Wives and Kendra from last night.  I love both of those shows.

3. Our Pet Free Home - Poor Maddie pouted and cried all day Saturday.  She announced at lunch she wanted a puppy.  After reminding her of their cost and care not to mention the fact that Chris and I are so not pet people she pouted and ignored us for most of the day. 



4. I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant - I will admit in my obsession of trash reality TV I have watched this TLC show before.  My sister got quite the kick out of the text I sent her the other day in regards to it.  Although I was 100% serious... sometimes I do really really wish I was pregnant and didn't know {not sure how that really happens} and that I would one day have a baby in the bathroom. 

5. Bridesmaids - We watched this on Friday night.  It was okay.  I did not think it was as funny as everyone tried to make it out to be.

6. Car Seat Safety - It makes me cringe when I see photos of parents using car seats incorrectly.  I see it all of the time - on Facebook, on blogs, or on TV shows.  This blog post gives some great and easy to follow tips on car seat safety. Here are 7 Ways to Keep Your Kids Safe.   This is NOT how your baby should be in the car seat!  This is wrong.  If your baby rides around in the car like this, this is just one of the wrong ways parents put their kids in car seats. 

The chest clip is too low.  It needs to be between the nipples and the sternum.  It is not doing ANY good down over your baby's tummy.

Scentsy, a Giveaway, and One of My Favorite Blogs

Today at work I was going through my Google reader...and my blog header popped up... I WON a Scentsy giveaway on Megan's blog, In this Wonderful Life.   I have been wanting to try these products for some time.  I cannot wait to receive my warmer and scent.

Megan's blog was one of the first ones I started reading/following and it is truly one of my favorites.  She has been through a lot and is now expecting TWINS!!  If you haven't checked out her blog before you should.  She has great decorating ideas, recipes (love her chicken salad one), and a story of courage and hope that is worth a read.
