You don't say...

Since my muse, who is in charge of all things said on this blog appears to be at a resort somewhere enjoying a massage and some spa treatements, I'm left with no choice but to explore the things that aren't normally said on the blog...

I was reading some of the reveiws of the top 25 blogs in Time magazine. Each of the summaries showed a sample entry topic for that blog and then "the entry you will never see."

For Example, from the blog Zen Habits...

"The blog excels at offering specific strategies to improve and simplify your life (16 Ways to Get Motivated When You're In a Slump, 20 Ways to Eliminate Stress from Your Life, 30 Simple Family Pleasures.) This is the rare blog that can actually improve your everyday life."

Sample Zen Habits post: Here are my simple steps to achieving Email Zen: 1) Don't check email first thing in the morning, or have it constantly on...

Entry you'll never see: Whenever you find yourself feeling a bit down, there's no better pick-me-up than treating yourself to a shopping spree.

All of this got me thinking about what my sample post would be... Let's try this:

"While carrying your Chihuahua on a hike, stop wheezing long enough to point your camera at the nearest peak, try to capture any interesting "light" in the photo that can be remarked upon later as you write your blog while wearing comfortable shoes, craving coffee, dithering about your hair and discussing food. Oh... and breathe!"

And the entry you'll never see...

"Going shoe shopping at the mall is fantasitc... all the exhaust from idling SUVs as I dart across the parking lot, the smokers providing the welcoming puffs in front of the entry way, the scents and perfumes wafting from Nordstroms... Macy's... Body Shop, the young men covered in Battle Axe "maiden bait"... It is a feast for the senses!"

Which made me wonder what y'all would say on your blogs! Or not say! Well...?

I didn't think I'd use the word "cocking" on my blog, but I have!

[annbb/TSannie]

You're too funny! I can't go in a Body Shop shop - and I don't even have asthma!

Never seen nor written on my blog: " I loved the concert. The band was wonderful but the back up singers performed like it was their last".:)

[mamahut]

Never seen on my blog "I love my mother". That was terrible huh?I'm actually thinking about quitting blogging....can't think of anything to write about. I am stuck.

[Trisha]

Hmmmm. This requires a bit of thought. Your sample is great though!

[Dawn on MDI]

Let's think about this. I'm not sure what you would never see on my blog. "went to church today" perhaps.

[Daryl]

Ah well .. in fact I did just that and wrote another Bridezilla (soon to be Mamazilla) post leaving the 'dirt' to the last paragraph hoping if someone she knows reads it they'd be so bored they'd not read to the end ... and then when it posted on Facebook ... I went there and deleted it ... yup I am a....

cluck cluck cluck...

That is something to ponder...I would never say...hey, I bought a pair of size 6 jeans for me and they were a little big!

[Amy]

You'll never see, "I wish I could move back to Florida."

Not.Going.To.Happen.

[Mental P Mama]

LOL. I don't know why you aren't on that list. Really.

[iPost]

What fun! It reminds me of writing your own obituary. Have you ever done that before?!?

Hehe!

[Meg]

Funny!

My blog will never say, "Decided "what the hell" and started smoking again. Also, gave up on plan to run marathon on 30th birthday. Running is for wussies."

[Snooty Primadona]

Well, you'll never read the words "I Love My Mother". MamaHut & I are kindred spirits there.

You will also never read "I went to the mall today" as I avoid it as if it were going to give me the plague. I buy my shoes from Zappo's online.

OMG I need the Zen blog.
