The New Black

I saw something on Facebook the other day that made me giggle.

"Blogging is the new black"

Heh. Is that so? I thought blogging was out.
Is it in again? Seriously, I'm asking. I wouldn't know. I'm a stay at home mommy who hasn't known "in" from "out" since I read a Cosmo about seven years ago. I think High-rise pants were out, Cuba Gooding Jr. was in. I'm lucky if I know the light of day when I see it.
My only 'me time' consists of a 10 minute shower where I can hear my 2 year old banging on the door and whining. I don't read Cosmo. Who are we kidding? I read Goodnight Moon.

So, maybe blogging is "in"?

Perhaps my apprehension comes from the fact that I, myself, have never emphatically followed a blog.
Could it be due to my ever-changing lifestyle?
I mean, don't get me wrong. I'd have to have lived under a rock to not READ a blog or two over the years.
When I was a young, twenty-something, I read about music. And bars. And easy-going, carefree lifestyles. When I got married, I dabbled in the 'house-wifey' blogs. "How to cook this" and "How to clean that" sort of things.
I got pregnant, and I digested all kinds of humorous "What to expects" and "Pack this" and "Wipe warmers are stupid"s and "Make your own babyfood, it's better" blah blahs.....

Then, I had a kid.

Oh, deary me. I gave birth to a living, breathing child. Much as I imagine all sane, new-mommies do...I fell off the face of the Earth BUT for my "This is normal" and "I do this" blogs.

Oh, Yes. I have read blogs. But, like all things in life- eventually I get busy doing what it is I am doing and I stop reading and keep living.

Well. Here I am. Will anyone read this? Who knows. Maybe a random column will pop up on some over-tired, music loving, tattooed mommy's screen for that 3 minutes between breastfeeding and changing a diaper.
Much like me, her life will ensue. But, if I'm there that one minuscule second, I guess that's what this is allllll about. The now.

I digress.

I am writing a blog. This over-tired, tattooed, breastfeeding, cloth diapering mommy is taking a moment between breastfeeding and 2-yr-old tantrums to write a blog that probably noone will read.

If you are, well. Damn, you're awesome.

Booyah to me. :)
