If You’re Happy And You Know It, Leave A Comment
Before I start, I’d like to give a big shout out to Canada! YAY CANADA! My kids went to camp today wearing red and white in honor of YOU! I love Canada!
See? That’s me. I’m happy. That gal next to me is Elania. I’m seriously hoping she doesn’t mind me writing about her, but since she puts these on Facebook and I do too, I figure it’s all good. Like I previously mentioned before I typically wake up and think “What type of story am I going to tell today?” but lately, I’ve just been free-flow writing and I’m totally diggin’ it.
I’m happy and I know it so I’m going to leave myself a comment telling me so. It’s so funny to hear people tell me they read my blog because I don’t look at RSS feed counts or numbers. Ever. It’s like me with working out. I do the best I can and I avoid the scale unless I have to.
What I do is write. I love to write. I love the people who love my writing. I like to read comments left and like I said, I pretty much assumed the only people who read me are the ones who leave comments but it’s so cool to hear that people see what I’m up to. Especially on Facebook. I feel so bad for a lot of my friends on Facebook.
You see, I use Facebook and Twitter as a platform to draw readers to my blogs. Most bloggers do the same, that’s why it’s called Social Media. I own my own corporation (Cool Mom Guide, LLC) and when I go to press events, I am considered Online Media. That’s a real title with real meaning and it totally kicks ass!
So on Twitter (@Momspective) I have like 13,00o friends. Basically everyone on Twitter is a blogger or a business and that’s just what we do. We blast something out in 140 characters and we either reply to the replies we get or we re-tweet. If I say something funny, someone will laugh and RT (that’s Re-tweet) it and if they have people following them that may not know about me, that RT may bring me followers. We also RT to help each other out. If someone needs a blog post promoted or someone has something important to say, we RT. I was so lucky to have all the support when I campaigned for the FIFA (I officially hate FIFA now. Thanks for that Sony.) because of all my awesome friends RT’d all of the posts I had. I may have lost the contest but I was rewarded with love. I’m not joking, I feel like I won because of you. All of you.
But with Facebook, most people use it as a way to connect with old friends or look up family members. I have connected with EVERYONE. Every single friend from school I can find I am genuinely happy to friend. All of my family and extended family have been friended. I’ve friended quite a few bloggers and even some of the fabulous PR people I work with. I have over 1300 friends. And to all of you, I am so sorry (if I offfend, annoy or totally dominate your home page). I also can not for the life of me get my home page to show updates for all my friends. I see the same 30 people and I love them but I have like 1270 more I’d like to catch up with as well so if you know what I need to do, let me know. I already tried the “make a list” thing and it’s not working.
I know I’m hilarious. People tell me that so it must me true. I’m absolutely entertaining. I don’t have all this cool shit happen because I’m lucky, I have cool shit happen because I am not only good at what I do (writing, that’s what I do. What I’m referring to right there. Writing) but I’m also a great person. I am happy (when I can be, the bipolar shit is fucking with me again but I’m seeing a therapist twice a week and she makes me SO happy I adore her) and I have a sparkling personality (I tell myself that one. I also tell myself I’m awesome because I do believe that is my favorite and most used word).
So all these wonderful stories and places I go are because I am a good writer, I respect the companies and brands I work with and I am a friendly, likable person. I do want to seriously apologize to a lot of you on Facebook who are most likely not reading this. I know a lot of people just read my updates and don’t slide on over here, but sometimes I’ll talk to a friend who has like 250 friends and a lot of people just have a Facebook but don’t update frequently and I not only update frequently, I update with totally random shit. I pee in cups (not for fun, it’s a running joke because I’m always sick. It was only for fun that one time. ) and I spew forth whatever word vomit my brain throws at you. My dad does, too. We’re a dynamic duo of wall dominating awesome.
I’m often worried that I over-dominate your wall but then I think, “Eh, they haven’t unfriended me so they must like my total Facebook domination.”
Wow. This became a long one. How totally weird. I woke up today and thought “Shit! I don’t have a topic!’ so I started to just write and see what would happen and it turns out today’s topic is about me being awesome and Facebook domination.
So, since I can’t hear you clap your hands, if you’re happy and you know it leave a comment! YAY!

I love you and want to kiss your face. I think the way i operate is that i say the things that people think but don’t necessarily say out loud for fear that they’ll be me (sing this part – Crazy – with a high pitched voice).
I am happy and I know it so hold on while I clap…..and I’ve clapped. It startled my dog. He’s barking thinking someone is at the door. That’s odd, considering clapping sounds nothing like a doorbell, unless you have a clapping doorbell. If anything like that exists, I would love it.
First of all, don’t you know that we have to blame Canada? The song said so.
I don’t mind the takeover of my FB wall. It makes me look like I have friends.
I’m a happy camper. Hands have been clapped. Comment left. Job well done.

Fuckin’ A right! Clap for Canada (but don’t give them the clap).
I’m happy, you’re happy and YOU TOTALLY RAWK! (and so does your dad)Cheers!
I’m happy and I know it too. Lol I don’t think we’re friends on FB. I think those 30 people you see often are the ones you commune with often. I was getting up there in FB friends too. So now I have 2 FB pages. One for those close and communicate with me & the others that may do a lot of updates but not communicate. If I want to see what there up to, I can still see. As long as your friends don’t mind. I assume its OK. Otherwise they’ll remove you as friends.
The title is so catchy, very clever. Hubbytoo hate FIFA when US team lost the soccer game.
Anyway, thanks for stopping and the comment you left in my blog.

Happy Canada Day and enjoy the comments, they can be what keep a blogger going some days. Keep up the good work.

Given that Canada Day, 4th of July and Bastille Day all occur in July, can we all agree to just start calling it Fuck-the-British-Month?
I don’t have it to give to them. I feel oddly guilty about being free of venereal diseases.
I love when you let if flow sugar! It’s all you.
