I have been slowly circling the black hole of blogland for a few months now. Just observing it from a safe distance but not quite ready to get sucked in.
It all started when my mom, yes my technologically inept mom, calls me and says she has a blog!
My mother doesn't even know how to text message yet somehow she not only knows what a blog is but actually has one?!
Even my seventy something Grandma knows how to text and send picture messages!
So immediately after this phone conversation I had to check it out and was flabbergasted.
I always knew my mom was funny, she has always been funny, but I didn't realize that other people thought she was funny. I mean come on...she is just my mom! I though it was only I that understood her quirky sense of humor.
Not only that people think she is COOL!? I spent most of my young teenage years being completely embarrassed in public because I swear she can't control the volume of her voice! Well, that's not really fair because my whole family has that problem. We always joke that when we are having a family argument the one talking the loudest is winning.
Anyways I became hooked! Always checking to see if she had posted a new one...then slowly started reading and following the blogs that she would recommend...
It is now safe to say that I am hooked!
I need my daily injection of blog or I start to go through with bloggy withdrawals.
I never thought that what my mom had to say would ever be such a fun part of my day.
Hell I have only spent a better part of the last 27 years trying to ignore her (again that whole volume thing didn't help)!
So thanks a lot mom! I now have another addiction that is going to make my boyfriend crazy! As if my addiction to mindless and trashy reality shows weren't enough...
I am now going to ignore him to tell complete strangers about my not so interesting life!
So 10 years down the road when I am totally alone and become a crazy cat lady that smells like I sleep in a litter box it is all your fault!
oh NICE....your first blog post and you're already funnier than me! It sorta pisses me off and makes me proud at the same time!!! I loved the picture of me with MY MOUTH OPEN. Gee how flattering..and true! And who said you aren't ALREADY a crazy smelly cat lady?? (exclaimed in a VERY loud voice). Oh and Daddy said he's impressed with your writing and drawing skills. Great now he likes your blog better than mine! I love you darlin...mommy is sooooo proud!
ReplyDeleteWhat's your problem with old ladies not knowing how to text, sugar?!?! I don't, but I'm a whiz at the computer and much older than your mommy, chickee! :-) Of course, don't even ask about not knowing how to even turn on a television since we gave them up 25 years ago. Arrrrrrghhhhhhh..... But welcome to blogland and hope you're just half as funny as yer mom, honey! Wooooooooeeeeeeeeee.....
ReplyDeletexoxo,
Connie
Welcome to Blogland Lindsey :)
ReplyDeleteNow be nice to your mother! (she told me to say that LOL)

Hi, newbie! I like your new page. Congrats on the blog. I just want you to know that I will be watching you! I am an avid reader of your mom's blog, and because my daughters may also try to sneak in a blog on me (so they can torture and embarrass and harrass me) I must concentrate and learn your ways. I must be ready for the day my offspring launch their own covert strategery. But in the meantime, good luck!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, be nice to your mama.
ReplyDeleteI came over from your mom's blog, and you are both HILARIOUS! I would expect nothing less.
ReplyDeleteAnd you are also my new BFF because I am a VH1 reality TV show whore like you.
Your blog should be awesome.
Your mom sent me and I find you to be as entertaining as she is, so I decided to become one of your stalkers.
ReplyDeleteNicely done!
Welcome to blogland! We just love your mom. Now we can get a double dose of laughter. Thanks :o)
ReplyDeleteAnyone can blog as long as they know the difference between to, too and two
ReplyDeleteand of course
there, their and they're.
It's my only requirement in reading someone's blog.

May I wish you nothing but luck..and I hope my Daughter don't start a blog..so far I got my followers thinking I'm a sweet little Ole lady..Added you on my list to follow...WAY TO GO GIRL!! hugs and smiles Gl♥ria
ReplyDeleteThat's right... blame it on mom! :) Glad to see her daughter is as witty as she is! Look forward to reading more and Welcome to bloggy land... officially! :)
ReplyDeleteHi, I've been asked to come over here and ask you to be "nice to your mom." Now that that jobs done I have to tell you that you're a pretty funny girl! My SIL is from Texas and, yes, he'll be the first one to tell you how great it is, LOL! I look forward to more funny times to come on your blog and am bookmarking you! Cindy
ReplyDeleteP.S. Is it bad that I can't send a text message either and don't even have a cell phone anymore? People kept finding me when I didn't want to be found, LOL!
lol! You are funny! I can't wait to hear two different sides of the story now about family gatherings and such :-)
ReplyDeleteNow, be nice to your mama!!!! We all love her and she is our go-to giggle. Welcome, and I just know your blog will be as great as hers. Sally
ReplyDeleteI'm another one like The Blue Ridge Gal, so I get to tell you your 'to' at the end of your profile should be 'too'. Now that THAT's out of the way, I look forward to the Mom & Kid blog banter. Welcome to Blogland!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to blogland, Lindsey. already you have a cool looking blog. You know from reading your mom's blog that we all love her and think she's funnier than Letterman and Leno and it looks like you inheirited her "funny" genes.
ReplyDeleteI love the pictures of your fur babies especially the one drinking out of your glasses on the nightstand!!
This blogging stuff is really addicting, as you are finding out. Have fun with it and spill your guts, inquiring minds want to know.
Love that picture of your grandparents, they must really be young at heart.
Ginger
PS Congrats on your recent accomplishment, that your mom told us about.
Hi Lindsey,
ReplyDeleteI see the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. You have your mothers sense of humor. Can't wait to see how your blog develops and to read more funny post.
Good luck and welcome to blog land.
Kris

ReplyDeleteHi Lindsey, Glad you decided to join us! You're a hoot, too. ~ Robyn
ReplyDeleteHi, and welcome to blogland the land of blog addicts! Glad to find your new blog from your mother. She is so funny and hey, you are too!! Cant wait see what else you have to say! Sue
ReplyDeleteHi Lindsey, too funny! I'm over here because of your mom. Sorry had to come over and see what all the fuss is about. Uh, you promise to be as funny as your mom. Try to be nice to her...she is old ya know.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter Lynsey also lives in Texas. Kinda gorgeous over there. I was there in Feb and it was so warm.
Welcome to this new addiction!
ReplyDeleteI know you will make your momma proud.
Haha! This is awesome! Welcome to blogging!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to blogging! We all love your mom - I can tell that you're going to have a great time with this and taunting each other! Just be kind to us "oldies"!
ReplyDeleteAnother blogstalker of your mom's popping over to check out how far the apple falls from the tree. Not far at all, from what I see here! Welcome to the blogosphere and like she asked us to tell you, "Be nice to your mom!" ;)
ReplyDeleteCheers!
hello!!!! I slipped over from your mom's blog....you are as cute as she is! She won't show us what she looks like...but I am sure if her kids are any indication...she is beautiful too!
ReplyDeleteI love to visit her...she always makes me smile ...I wonder what my kids think of me? lol (the oldest is 9...so I suppose cool is not a word he would use for his mom...lol)
Welcome to the world of blogging...we all have such a good time...and you will find out how much support you can get from some of the nicest people you have never "really" met!
I am now a follower...so see you often new friend!
Welcome to Blogland!
ReplyDeleteYour mom is the stinkin' funniest lady every!
I can tell she is so proud of you :D
Have a GOOD one!
Welcome to blogland Lindsey! You're off to a great start & I can hardly wait to hear more family stories! ☺♥☺ Diane
ReplyDeleteover here from Nikki's ....now go be nice to your mom.
ReplyDeleteand tell the boyfriend that this kind of habit is free and doesn't impair your health. At least that is what I tell my husband.
Yep, you got your Mom's sense of humor! :-) Welcome to Blogland...looking forward to all the future giggles! :-)
ReplyDelete/at the top of her lungs
ReplyDeletehahahha...my evil plot has finally come to pass! Now I can blog-stalk you and you won't even ka-no it...Miss you and love you!! Welcome to blogland
Lindsey, excuse my last sentence, I got you and your sis mixed up. When you get old, the memory goes....sorry.
ReplyDeleteGinger
Hi Lindsey! You're mom told us about you and you starting a blog! I can tell you're your mom's daughter alright! Blogland is going to be a much more funny place now! Be sweet to your mommy, but tell us all the scoop about her! :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Blogland!!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia :)
Since I'm a fan of your Mom's blog, er, I mean fan of her dogs, I thought I'd follow you too - so you better do some good dog stuff! I'm a cat lady - neither crazy nor smelly, and I like mindless trashy TV too! Welcome to the blogosphere!
ReplyDeleteGIRL..if you are even HALF as funny as your mother...you are already a HIT!! Good luck..(but you aren't even going to need it, I can tell already!) What a fantastic start you have!
ReplyDelete~talk to me later~
Mona
Well! We sound a lot alike! my hubby gets SUPEr annoyed that I decided to have 2 blogs now, and that I sit in bed at night reading countless updates and posting my own! Get used to it! heehee.
ReplyDeleteHi Lindsey!!! I've been stalking your mom since she was on RMS!! A warning should be posted on her blog that older ladies MUST wear "Poise" before reading!!! So as payback I want to encourage you to give us ALL the dirt you can!!!lol (sorry Nikki - just kidding!) What I really intended to say was WELCOME TO BLOGLAND!!! I look forward to reading your posts! Sincerely, Jeannette (Oh and I love the design as well!!)
ReplyDeleteWell, well, well, WELCOME to the world of blogging. Watch out, it becomes pretty addicting.
ReplyDeleteLet the blog wars begin:D
ReplyDelete/evil laugh
Welcome to blogland. Your mom is a tough act to follow. I can guarantee you if you do a weeklly post about your mom your comment post will be on fire!! Give us the scoop!! What about Wacky Mom Wednesdays or something? HA.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy blogging.
I am still giggling about originally being from Utah--(Spanish Fork is my old hood) and that you are from the GREAT state of Texas. I love it. I guess people there are as prideful as the people in Washington. (throw-up)
ReplyDeleteAnd, yes, there is not much of a picture of Payson. Maybe the freeway. Oh, the Walmart is pretty cool there.
Hi Lindsey,
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Blogworld! We just love you mom and I am sure looking forward to getting to know you :)
Tracey
Welcome to Blogland Lindsey!! Talk about double pleasure, double fun, this is gonna be good!!! Your mom cracks me up and looks like your blog is going to be as witty as hers (sorry Nikki).
ReplyDeleteWARNING: Blogging is addicting!
Welcome, and yes your mom is both cool and funny :).
ReplyDeleteWelcome Lindsey!! And yes, it's obvious you have your mom's DNA!! You're gonna have sooooo much fun doing this! Confession, your mom is not the only one late at learning to text. I was finally forced to have my 14yr old show me how a couple of months ago, sad!!
ReplyDeleteNow, y'all be nice!
ReplyDeleteMy mom's best southern advice was 'if you don't have something nice to say then just hush.'
this is going to be fun!!
obviously, great blogging runs in this family! This was a fun first post! Welcome to Blogville, and keep up the good work! laurie
ReplyDeleteLindsey, did you miss your mom's "I Wish" post that said "I wish everybody would get rid of that word verification thing", or did you add it to yours just to get under her skin?laurie
ReplyDeleteWelcome! Now we get to read the antics of 2 Crumpet-girls! (or do you have a different dog?)
ReplyDeleteWe all love your Mommy, so it won't be any trouble at all to love you too (to be honest, I'm having a LITTLE trouble loving Lacey with that flat-as-a-pancake belly of hers. So, if you, too, have attributes that make men drool and women cringe, it would behoove you not to show pics!
Have a wonderful weekend....post often....ESPECIALLY if any of your posts have pics of your Mom~
♥,Lilly
LoL! You really ARE your mother's daughter! But thats a good thing-she is so funny and I adore her and totally dig on her blog!!! So welcome to blogland and looking forward to getting to know you!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Blogland. Your mom sent me, and let's see ... my instructions were ... um ... you know I'm old, and I don't remember too much... can't text either. Hm, say, I lived in Texas once, and liked it too.
ReplyDeleteYour mother sent me over to visit, and I always listen to your mother.
ReplyDeleteMy son felt the same way about me having a blog, and now he has one, too. The main difference is that he doesn't usually get my sense of humor - although he is very funny. I guess it's that male thing.
Good luck - and be sure to make your momma proud. ;-)
First, be NICE to your mom, she's great!
ReplyDeleteSecond, welcome to blogland.
Third, like what I see and am now following you.
Fourth, be nice to your mom, I'm watching you!
Oh Lindsey, you should hear the pitter patter of my heart right now. Nikki's daughter blogging? Bwaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaaaaa! Your mom mentioned mine and my sister Jill's, blog wars. I propose that you start a mom/daughter blog war. Oh, the possibilities for humiliation are never-ending! Or, the four pups can take over the blogs to humiliate each other AND their humans. Oh the joy!
ReplyDeleteGirl, one post and you're already going on my blog roll. I don't want to miss a thing!
Justine :o )
Okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay...you're pretty cute! You have your mom's sense of humor!!!!! Geeeeez look at you...your blog is only a newborn baby and you have more followers than I do after months and months....that probably says something about my blog compared to you and your mom's....what does she have...something like a million or so??? Welcome to our crazy bloggity blog blog world and I think your grandma is a pretty cute little gal too! Just have fun! Can't wait to hear all that you have to say to us...
ReplyDeleteHappy Addiction :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice! The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, does it? And look at all the comments you have on just your first post! I've been blogging for almost a year and the most comments I've ever had on a post is 33. Not only are you gorgeous (if you weren't so funny and didn't have such an awesome mom-I'd totally have to dislike you) but you're kicking butt with the comments. :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the blogging world.
Welcome to blogland.
ReplyDeleteIf you as funny as your mom I will put you on my google reader!
-Coco
Lindsey,
ReplyDeleteWay to go...............Your first blog and you show me as a "cool" grandma and your mom as a "cool" nag. I knew there was something I liked about you!
Love, Grandma
OK cool--you mom sent me here, (sometimes she pretends she hates me cause I sabatoged a Wednesday Wish photo from her, sheeeesh, she sure holds a grudge--but I KNOW she loves me)anyway, spill the dirt on your mom!!!!
ReplyDeleteFYI, look at all your comments! When I first started blogging, I was lucky if I got one. Pays to know somebody, huh? ;)
ReplyDeleteI am loving this already.
ReplyDeleteI am your mom's buddy Jill.. sister of the looney Justine! Your mom has a great blog and we have become friends over time. She is a great lady. I am so happy I am able to follow your blog now. Make sure you put lots of juicy stuff on here for your mom ... lol!!!!!!!!!
Come visit me too!
Jill :)
Well, it's clear where you get your sense of humor from. And your use of illustrations. I love the stick figure pic, that cracked me up!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the blogosphere! I love that I can read a mother and daughter blogging at each other. It'll be like Candy and Tori Spelling and how fun is THAT?
- Margaret
Coming here through your mum! She may be technically inept, but she sure makes me laugh.. And you know what - you might too!
ReplyDeleteSo, Welcome!
By the way, do you really need to have word verification on right now? Sometimes it takes 2-3 attempts to leave a comment with it...
ReplyDeleteIt would be darling of you to switch if off, if you could! Thanks.
Lindsey,
ReplyDeleteWelcome to this crazy world of blogsphere... This is an amazing amount of comments for a first post!!! But then you are Nikki's offspring.:)
Yes, I can send phone pictures and text but I let the 13 year old at our house do it for me because her fingers move faster than lightening! And she also know sthe language better than I do!
Your mom does not only have an incredibly funny blog she is also one of the nicest people I hve met in in blogland. She is someone I have come to care about and see the softer side. You are such a Lucky girl to have her!
I am glad you too have joined this wonderful world of cyber friends! I look forward to reading you often!
Beth
Texting is highly overrated. Women of our age have other talents. (Right Nikki??) I say be nice to your mom but dish us the dirt anyway. I'll be back. Mimi
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Bloggyland! Any offspring of Nikkicrumpet's is an offspring of mi--- Wait, what? Anyway, welcome and so happy to see you here!
ReplyDeleteNow spill about your mom.
Seriously, we need to know it all, including priors and time served. She said it was TOTALLY FINE to tell us everything.
No, really.
;^) Anna
Pssst, I promise I'll keep it just between the two of us if you give me all the dirt on Mommy Dearest. LOL
ReplyDeleteWelcome to blogland Linsdsey.
Welcome to blogland! I like your blog already!
ReplyDeleteI love your Mom's blog. She is, indeed, a very funny lady. Please be nice to her.
Lindsey- I am so excited you have come to the dark side! I am your neighbor in TX and the one who is always trying to get your freakin' mom to come visit you so we can hook up. I say, lets just start "hanging out" together and she will HAVE to come to TX to shut us up (or bail us out...) Congrats on the new blog!!! Come see me!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great first post!!! You dang Mom is a scream...you take after her. I will be back for dirt on her. Cute pics on the side!
ReplyDeleteIt's obvious the apple doesn't fall far from the tree...and I mean that in a good way! ;) Your mom is one of my all-time favorites and she sent me over with a message, but I got distracted by some bright shiny objects so I forget what it was I was 'supposed' to tell you... *shrugs* Must not have been important... ;) Welcome to the blogosphere - you have started off with a bang and I'm looking forward to reading your fun(ny) future posts! :)
ReplyDeleteArent you a brave daughter following in your Mom's footsteps and you did GREAT!!! Fantastic first post and I look forward to many more!
ReplyDeleteYour mom is fabulous...all of us out here in blogland just love her. She's hilarious! Glad that you're joining us...we have a great time!
ReplyDeleteYour MOM ROCKS! (nuff said)
ReplyDeletecarma :D

ReplyDeleteHi, Lindsey
ReplyDeleteI'm a newbie to your mom's blog and she ALWAYS makes me laugh,, so i'll definitely be watching yours too. And like your mama I'd be scared to see what my daughters put on their blog,, if they had one!
Hey Freak! I want to know why I have lived in Austin for 3 years and you have NEVER tried to contact me? Email me and we can try and hook up! I would love to see your freaky self.
ReplyDeleteLOVE YA!

Holy 82 comments on your first blog Batman!!! You must be related to Nikki! I DO love your Mom though--she is snort crystal light all over my computer funny.

ReplyDeleteWelcome to blogland. It's very nice to meet you.
