Go ahead, sign up now.

Back in the old days (Um, like last week when my travel blog was rejected) you used to have to have 20 posts in a blog that was at least 90 days old. SO I decided to pay attention to that little blog, and make a few other ones, since my pagerank on my original blog sucks, I figured they could build off of each other and maybe one day, when google updates their pageranking system (which I hear is like very 90 days) then maybe my original blog will be worth something, and then maybe I can grow these other blogs, too and Mwa hahaaha rule the mom blogging world, like Dooce and Amalah.

But now, they have changed the rules, so that any blog that has ten posts and is 30 days old will qualify.

I think it's a stupid mistake. There's already too many of us scrambling like vultures to grab the few opportunities that are available for new bloggers. They pay $20 for posting when you sign up, just to announce that you've done it. So they'll have all these people signing up and getting paid for making their first post announcing that they've signed up and then their system will be overloaded because all these people will be trying to get paid posts all the time. It isn't easy hitting the refresh button ten thousand times a day hoping a new one will come up. And sometimes the verification words are long and complicated. Like "Renoir $285,837.20" and things like that. It's not a lifestyle everyone is cut out for. If you think you might be the one who can handle it, then click the purple image below and they will help you register for paid blogging. I don't think you can handle it, though. I am just warning you.

You should do it fast because I don't know if they'll stay in business like this for long. Hopefully you're someone with a blog that has a higher page rank than mine, so that you won't be taking opportunities that I could be using to feed my kids. My six kids. Seriously.

Celebrity Valentines

I will leave you today with some funny celebrity Valentines I stumbled upon. So what if they're from 2002. Enjoy.

Little Square Wheels

Little Square Wheels is a great little CD we keep in the car. I actually got it from an old neighbor, a homeschooling Goddess (I'm serious, she was amazing) that lived around the corner from us when I was pregnant with G1. I don'[t know if her husband IS Doug Fleming Jr or if he was his partner or something, but somehow, he's got something to do with this CD. She's the mamma who first introduced me to The Well Trained Mind. I wonder how they're doing now? Heidi, the Artist from Seattle. I hope they're doing well. I thought her husband's name was Bill.

I've gotta admit

I am totally addicted to Rosie O'Donnell's blog. It's like she's just another mom. And really, in a way, she is. She might never worry about her mortgage payment but she really is just a mom. When it comes down to it, we all are.
