Blue Tooth

I can't decide if blue tooth for cell phones is a good idea or not.
I mean yeah, if you use it in the car great. But when you are talking in the car do you have BOTH your hands on the wheel? Is it more distracting to hold the phone or talk on the phone? I guess if there is someone in your car you are probably talking to them, which is kind of the same.
Here is my problem......
If you are in the store or going for a walk or NOT in the car, don't use your silly headset. It is so annoying when you are in the store and you hear someone talking and it seems like they are talking to you until you see the itty bitty headset. Then you just hope that there is someone on the phone and they aren't talking to themselves and using the headset as an excuse.
I mean really is it that hard to PICK UP your phone while walking?
I guess if you are already chewing gum it may be hard for you. (walking, chewing gum, AND holding a phone WHILE talking!!! WOW that is just too much for some people.)
Here is a note to everyone who uses blue tooth headsets while not in the car driving.....I will give you a dirty look and then write something on my blog about you.....

Blog Stalking

I have come to the conclusion many times that "blog stalking" is a bad thing for a couple reasons...
A)When I get caught up in all the blogs I kind of tune out the kids
B)Looking at all the blogs of people who are enormously talented makes me feel like a loser who needs to get a life.
If I say that around people they will always say something around the lines of "you have five kids you do have a life."
That is not what I mean when I say I don't have a life.....I guess I should say I need a hobby or something.
It seems like most of the blogs out there (even the "family" blogs (as opposed to "professional" blogs) have pictures on them that look artistic and professional. (I know I used that word twice) Which leads to me believe that everyone and their dogs are into photography.
Come on now you know it is true.
I love photography too, but the one reason I WOULDN'T pursue it is because everyone else does. I am like that. I don't want to follow the crowd.
All the other blogs are about "look how amazing I am at crafts or cooking or some other thing that you aren't good at"
And what is up with "Food Bloggers"? What ever happened to a Food Critic? It that not as cool?
Looking at all these blogs by all these people who are talented is enough to make any non talented person feel like a loser.
So what is this blog world we have started? How did blogging start? Was it a "look at the amazing things I can do" "I am so funny" blogs or was it the "I want to have some place to show my family who doesn't live close what we are up to"? I don't know how it started but someone got rich in the process.
I don't really have talents that I can blog about except maybe popping out kids fast. I am not a good mother (I am not fishing for compliments so save it) just good at getting pregnant. Hey! Maybe a should start a blog on the getting pregnant part! Has that ever been done??? :)
My question to you three people (all of which I am related to) who will read this, do you need multiple blogs to be successful? If you have talent do you have to blog about it? Someone needs to stop the madness before the world is taken over by blogs.
Also how much time do you spend looking at blogs or facebook or any of the other "social network" things? Don't you think it is a waste of time? I know for me I usually feel guilty when I do blog stalk. Guilty and like a loser. Not a good combo.

P.S. The reason this sounds disjointed and weird is because of all those kids I popped out. Screaming, crying, tattling, running, laughing kids makes it hard to have a complete thought or conversation. (just ask the husband, he knows)
