You know you’re slacking on the blog when your husband starts nagging you to post. You know the husband that used to complain that you spent too much time on the computer? Ya that one.
Him – How come you haven’t posted anything lately?
Me – I’ve been busy.
Him – Well your readers aren’t going to like that. You had better post something.
Me – Ya. I’m sure my readers are really upset about it. I have a post written but I have to put pictures on it.
Him – Well, when are you going to post it?
Me – I don’t know. As soon as I get a minute.
Him – You haven’t posted it yet? What is taking so long?
Me – I told you. I’ve been busy.
Him – Well, get it posted!
Me – I’m going to! Sheesh!
I think he’s addicted. For a minute there I thought it was me he was addicted to. But then I remembered this conversation from a couple years ago…
Me – (Laughing)
Him – What are you laughing about?
Me – Something I wrote. I’ll read it to you.
He just stares at me after I read it.
Me – Well? Wasn’t that funny?
Him – Not really.
Me – You didn’t think that was funny?
Him – No.
Me – How could you not think that is funny? That is clearly funny.
Him – Well I’m sure some people might think it’s funny but I don’t.
CLEARLY it isn’t ME he’s addicted to. He’s just using me to get to you! He’s addicted to your comments!!!
Maybe you could leave a comment today just for Stranger. Tell him how wonderful he is for working so hard and for fixing the toilets and defrosting the freezer and putting the kids to bed, even if he does let them stay up too late, and for sharing his avocado with me. He’s just a nice guy like that. Even if he doesn’t think I’m funny.
And I promise I’ll try to post more often sweetie!
Stranger,
I can not put into words how much a blogger hubby is needed. I mean really, what would all the people like me, who are addicted to the lazy organizer do if you didn’t keep her on her toes and posting for all of us. Thank you most of all for helping her with all the little chores around the house, we know there must be plenty with a new baby around, so that she can take a few minutes and post for us.
I am new here – subscribed because I thought you were funny. Now, I think your husband is funny too. And he shares avocado – wow!
Thank you, Stranger, for speaking up for us.
Frankly, I’ve been feeling a little hurt and neglected as a result of the recent failure to post. Since when is actually living one’s life more important than telling people about living one’s life?
Oh, don’t worry Starnger, she’ll be back to her bloggy self once things settle down on the home front. You know, school starts and you get all those nice routines back in your life that migically dissapeared after sweetness was born. I’m still waiting to get those back and my little man is 8 months old! I’ve got to get on the ball! SHeeSH!
Thanks, Stranger for getting her to post!!! I was having withdrawals!
Let me tell you when she posted about the dress for sweetness, I was checking several times a day to see that one!! (OOPS… maybe you didn’t know about that one!!) lol..
You made me smile!
See I’m not the only blog stalker you have!
A fellow that fixes toilets
& defrosts on his time off
from work? You really ARE a
special kinda’ guy!
Actually, your blog conversa-
tions sound eerily like the
dialogues from Paul & Jamie
Buchman from “Mad About You”;
I was so bummed when that show
went off the air.
Ever thought about doing a
reality show filmed from your
house? Now THAT would be
FUNNY!
Lara says: I loved that show too!!! Your comment made me envision a reality show at our house and it was more scary than funny. The whole world watching me try to get organized? I don’t think so!
Stranger,
You really are addicted to her. How do I get my DH to read my blog? I’ve been on since Nov., and he doesn’t read it.
Dear stranger…I was just reading the end of this post and I think your wife just called me sweetie! I always knew that she appreciated us readers…but that was just touching. Also, thanks for pushing her to post more often. What would I, a lazy procrastinator do without my lazy organizer fix?
p.s. On second thought, the sweetie might have been directed at you, but no matter—I still felt the warm fuzzies!

Stranger,
I too have a wife that blogs, blogs, and blogs. At first it was the same, she was ALWAYS on the computer and there was the constant . . .you have to read what I wrote blah, blah, blah. Like Charlie Browns teachers. But now that’s how I know what happened during the day while I was away at work. What is even better is now I read her friends blogs (Lazy Organizer) and see that I am not a lone bloggers man. I have learned that my wife is not the only crazy one out there and I can live with that.
She and her crazy friends are fun to be around and for some reason I like them. By the way . . . first comment every on a blog, boy is my wife ganna get me when she finds out it was used on your wifes site.
That is too funny! See? I think you’re funny! My husband doesn’t think I’m funny either. When I ask him if hew thought my post was funny, he says, “It was okay.” Hmmm. At least he knows how to install a closet organizer!
Oh, and Stranger, you are a great support. Keep her posting!
at least your hubby reads your blog … everytime i tell him about mine he gives me a blank stare.
