Snookered

I'm a fan of dooce.com. It was on this site that I finally learned what a blog is. For at least a year, I just pretended to know. Even my husband who, bless his heart, needs help adding an attachment to an email caught on before I did:

Me: Whatcha doing?
Spence: Reading the Drudge Report.
Me: What's that?
Spence: It's a blog.

Well, that cleared things right up. I didn't even let on to him that I still had no idea what a blog was. Today, I not only know what a blog is, I'm actually a blogger. Well, sort of -- I have at least 8 readers.

Anyway, I was reading dooce this morning when my mind started wandering to the fact that... "this woman makes a living off this site. People like me support her. Well, not me exactly. The people who read her ads. Not me. I NEVER do that. I mean, who cares about stuff like..." and I casually look to the right and see this ad titled Print Your Blog. And I was like ooooohhh, I want to do that! What a great way to scrapbook for my new little one. And dadgumit if I didn't click the dang ad.

Apparently I'm not the rebel I thought I was. You're welcome, Heather.
