The Family that Blogs Together

I helped my dad set up a blog.  You can read it at http://www.tingleytime.blogspot.com/ if you so desire!  Then when I emailed my siblings to let them know that both Mom and Dad are blogging AND that Dad is completely capable of typing in both upper and lower case letters, which is a shock to our entire family, my brother decided being a Blogging Tingley was the way to go.

His blog is at http://www.initialonly.blogspot.com/.    Yes, my brother, the handsome guy you all met at my 50th birthday party.  Oh, wait, none of my followers are single.  Except me.  So forget that.

Ok, not that my Dad isn't handsome, too...but you know, he's taken.  By my Mom.  Ellen.  Who has a blog, too:  http://www.lizting.blogspot.com/.

I DO like how 2/3 of my family now has a blog.  I think they all thought, well JEEZ if Kim can do it, so can I!  And they can.  And I like reading all my friends' and families' blogs.  Blogging is great!  And my family is totally hip in a blogging kind of way.

Ok, maybe I am kind of pathetic in my excitement here.  But you all know, the whole celibacy thing is starting to wear a little thin and I have to get my jollies where I can.

I'm also getting my jollies finding music for my personal playlist on http://www.playlist.com/.  How can I get my music to play on my blog?  Susan?  Mark E?  Help me?

Off the subject of blogs and on to other topics of interest..to me...

Redbook Magazine.  Ok, for some reason I was looking at a Redbook magazine yesterday and I had this bad bad realization.  The LAST time I looked at a Redbook magazine I didn't like it because it was for "older women"..in my mind at the time, anyway, and I was probably 22.  Then flash forward to yesterday.  In my mind, Redbook is still for older women, but as I flipped through it I realized...oh my Gosh...it's for women in their 30's who are way younger and cuter than me!  And who have probably had blogging families forever.  So more hip, too!  I'm over the hill in a Redbook kind of way and didn't even have 5 minutes of enjoying that magazine.

Next topic..food.  Tuesday I went to the Uppity Town farmers market and bought a bunch of great food...tomatoes, green beans, sweet corn, new potatoes, and a loaf of Olive Ciabatta from the Medici bakery.  Then later I went to pick up my Henry's CSA share..onions, fennel, carrots (rainbow colored!), lots of cucumbers (after reading Caroline's blog entry about pickles I understand why there were so many cukes...they are the rabbits of the July vegetable garden, aren't they?), and more tomatoes.  Then I came home and ate....hummus and the olive bread.

It was so good I forgot all about Redbook magazine.  I'm thinking of Vanity Fair, instead!
