Sometimes I don’t think something warrants a full blog post. I know this is m blog and I can post whatever I please, but I feel like it should be more than a picture or sentence or whatever. And instead of getting a new social networking tool like Tumblr, I might occasionally jumble things together into one big ass posts instead of like 4 tiny posts. Like when I did this post.
Giving Back
I’m not always a charitable person. I mean I will sometimes give to homeless people if I have cash on me. My friends run the Foundation for Student Leadership & Success which I try and give to when they have their summit to get kids ready for college. And recently I found out that if you just ask for money on the internet, people will give it to you. Even if you just want a boob job. (boobgrant.com is a thing). But The Robot Mommy was posting that she had pledged some moolah for Red Piggy Press to start on an app to personalize a kid’s book. How cool would that be?! I have a kid. I like apps. I donated. They reached their goal but they can still take more pledges till the end of today (Aug 10). Have some spare change you want to give to someone? Give it! I might need to troll these sites more often to give a few bucks here and there for things I would like.
Blogging
I need some sort of blogging forum or Facebook group or something where I can ask blogging questions. Twitter sometimes is a cry out into the dark. I know there’s a blog chat and something else but sometimes I have questions. Does anyone know of such a thing?
But I have linked up with Our Reflection’s Tweet and Greet (see that button on the side?!) and have met some awesome new tweeters. I need to get my Google Reader in order for all the blogs I want to keep up with.
I’m also working on working on a giveaway. Or two. Also I finally figured out that though my sidebar is 260 pixels it will fit 100×100 buttons two to a line and not 125×125 buttons. Whatever. So I had to download and resize and reupload buttons. So I may or may not be showing off buttons because it’s a pain and I don’t know HTML. Also I’m sort of toying with the idea of blog “sponsors” or something or another but that’s a whole ‘nother set of Pattersons.
The Kid
I got to hang out with Addy this week. Outside the house. This is what we did.

It was fun! I also saw these things I want to get. Gaaah!

And I think Addy might be ready for a backpack and I considered Pottery Barn Kids for this
or this from Skip Hop
And here are some pictures that I didn’t Facebook, Tweet, or Instagram.

the upside down sunglasses…lol. she looks so unamused. lol.
I love you for trying so many times. I would have quit after 2.
Also, who doesn't get retro Fisher Price. They knew kids from the 80s were having their own kids and the right (read: hipster) thing to do is get them retro toys!
1. I’m in a local group of social media moms. It is a great place to ask blogging questions
2. I flipped when I saw those Fisher Price remix toys. It made me sad that the parents of the one year old I got one for had no awareness of the original toy.
3. We’re getting a skip hop backpack! We were thinking Giraffe, but Ben went crazy over the fox!
4. Commenting on the iPad when loading your site through Facebook took me 6 tries.
1. I think Addy needs a shirt that says “My Mommy is the Papparatzi”
2. I’ve thought about doing a kick starter to produce my music project… I’m not good at begging though (and it feels like begging) but, it would get it done! Maybe a micro-loan instead?
3. I like backpacks on kids, it’s so frickin’ cute!
4. I’m loving how this blog is a growing!
Wow. That was a lot to absorb. I love that you also pimped out Red Piggy Press. Kickstarter is a great place to ask for contributions especially since you don't pay unless you hit goal. Knowing this is now allowing the opportunity for other authors seeking support.
Addy is adorable as usual!!
When I have a lot of things I want to write about, but they don’t really need an entire post, I end up listing. Sometimes it seems like they’re just really one long tweet. lol
I nominated you for a Liebster Award, you see here: http://sarcasticremark.blogspot.com/2012/08/a-liebster-award-and-lets-talk-about-me.html
