Internal dialogue (or "I need to spend more time with grown-ups")

Using the term "grown-ups" instead of "adults" is the first sign that you spend too much time with children.

The second is when you tell another grown-up you are going "potty."

Perhaps the overnight Pull-Up in MiniMe's hamper with the pajamas means I need to supervise the getting undressed process in the morning a little more closely.

I must seriously consider taking Vietnamese at the community college, because I swear that the woman giving me a pedicure turned to the girl next to her and said, "Did you see this four-foot long hair on her pinky toe? I'm going to buy this girl some tweezers."

I cannot believe I just told the entire blogosphere I had a stray hair on my pinky toe.

I wonder if Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Lopez would want to be in a twins group with me.

Would I want to be in a twins group with Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Lopez?

Julia Roberts...I would totally want to be in a twins group with Julia Roberts.

If I were in a twins group with Julia Roberts, I wonder what it would take for me to get on Oprah?

How did I go from five subscribers to twelve overnight? And how many of those subscribers are going to go away after they find out I had a toe hair?

Whoever invented the pacifier deserves an award for most genius invention of all time.

If only it were socially acceptable to shove a pacifier in an adult's mouth when you want them to shut up.

Didya see that? I used the word "adult." My brain is not totally atrophied.

Does the doctor really think he needs to tell me not to give my six-month-old a chicken leg? And what am I doing that I look like the kind of person who would?

Do not read blogs while sitting cross-legged on the floor. Both feet will fall asleep, rendering you useless when the baby starts to cry.

I used to have daydreams about bringing a handful of pacifiers to work and handing them out in meetings when the whining got to be unbearable.

I give up. How do you know how many subscribers you have?

I signed up for Feedburner and that crap confuses me. I just want to see how many people subscribe to my blog....

I want to be in Angie's twins group. And I don't have twins....

Danielle -- once you've added your feed to feedburner, you should be able to see how many subscribers you have on the main dashboard page (you log in, click "my feeds" at the top-left-hand corner, and then click on the feed that you want to see detail on -- it should be in the middle of the page, big numbers)

If you aren't seeing any stats, it's possible that:
a. Your feed isn't set up
b. Your blogger account isn't set up to use Feedburner as your feed
c. Your blog template doesn't have the right Feedburner code

There are some great step-by-step instructions on how to use Feedburner with Blogger here:

Well, I'm a subscriber and I have to tell you that it takes a hell of lot more than a four foot toe hair to scare me away.

PsychMamma said...

I'm with AnyMommy - - can't scare me away with toe hair either. I'm still figuring out the whole subscriber thing, but I'm a regular lurker. :-)

MomMega said...

Ummm...yeah, I haven't figured out how to subscribe either. But I visit every day, does that count? And the toe hair? Doesn't scare me...especially since the last time I went to get a pedi I had a loooong hair on my ankle! Geesh!

I SHAVE MY BIG TOE. The hair is light and thin, but WHATEVER, it has to go.

Slice of Pink said...

Wait, big toeS. I shave both of them. In case that needed to be clarified.

Danielle said...

@iMommy: That totally helped! Thanks so much.

I'm not still entirely sure that I "get it", but now it's showing more subscribers. My issue was #2. or option b.

Thanks so much!!
