I've decided I can't win. Honestly, I joined the Buzz because I wanted that cool little badge to put on my site. I didn't know I'd actually have to WORK for it. I don't know how other people -- ok YOU people -- do it. I work, I have a baby, I have TWO blogs, one of which I seriously have to contribute to, and I'm tired.

I can't keep up with it all: MySpace (totally neglected speck of the Internetz), Facebook (my new addiction), Rockin the Suburbs (my site), New Jersey Moms Blog (serious site to which I must contribute), Cre8buzz (hi!), Twitter (fast losing its will to fly), Technorati, Digg, k*rtsy, Stumble...I can't keep track of it all, to be honest. My feed reader is perpetually clogged with 400+ feeds. I forget I have a Cre8buzz account until I get the email telling me my rankings have tanked some more. And I don't remember the last time I logged into MySpace.

And now there's this thing I keep seeing on my stalkees's sites, Plurk. I don't even want to know. I almost created a login for it the other day, but I stopped myself just in time. A successful self-intervention. This time.

So please, if you see me pop up anywhere else on the Internetz, call the cops (and A&E). I'm begging you.

Kansas man survives nail-in-skull accident

SHAWNEE, Kan. (AP) -- A suburban Kansas City man accidentally
fired a 2.5-inch nail into the top of his head, but says he now
feels fine after a doctor used a claw hammer to remove it.
The mishap occurred Friday while George Chandler, of Shawnee,
and a friend were working on a backyard project.
The nail gun hose became tangled, causing the powerful tool to
fire once. Chandler said Monday he told his friend he didn't know
where the nail went, but he felt a sting on the top of his head.
Soon they discovered that the nail was driven into Chandler's
skull, so they called an ambulance. He was rushed to a hospital,
where a doctor used a common claw hammer to remove the nail,
Chandler said.
Chandler said he feels "very lucky, very, very lucky" to have
escaped serious injury.

I put a few new pics up. My babygirl and my luvah. And I took the Cre8buzz badge off my REAL blog...it was starting to make me look really bad! I am now on Twitter, Myspace, Facebook, Cre8buzz...I feel like I'm always logging on to something. WTF is up with that? Isn't blogging supposed to be purely egocentric? Why then do we cater to others? Maybe that's just me

I'm about to put up my Canada pics. Should be good. (If I had photoshop and could put witty little notes on them. But I have a Macbook. So I don't. So no witty scribbles. But funny pics nonetheless)

My REAL blog -- I just like saying that -- has plummeted in popularity, so the universe is righting itself again. I knew it was too good to last!

Anyway, I got a post up on the New Jersey Moms Blog today about only children. And how I might have an only child. And that might make me a bad mother.

But...if you ain't the mommy-readin' type, I got a new one up on Rockin the Suburbs, too. About the worst television show in the history of television. And you know what that is. You've watched it. Oh yes, you have. Admit it. You'll feel better.

How the hell did I get so popular all of a sudden? I am not the popularity contest-winning type of chick. So obviously the new ranking system is whack, and I apologize profusely to you all.

So I went to Canada this weekend -- a surprise anniversary trip from my husband, how sweet -- and I cannot WAIT to tell ya'll about it. We went to Niagara Falls, aka Gatlinburg, TN. There were 2 wax museums, and I counted 4 haunted houses. Shit you not. It was awesome. I took plenty of stupid pictures and I plan on putting them together in a little photo essay thingie. But I'm at work right now. And I'm tired. And it's raining. Wait, this is all starting to sound really familiar...

Anyway, stay tuned!
