Creepy.

This whole thing with professionally done pregnancy photo shoots is creeping me out. Maybe I'm a bit of a traditionalist, but I think photos of your growing bare belly should be saved for your close family, not facebook. Ew. That and sonagram photos. Putting everything on facebook makes it less special in my mind. While I'm definitely a big facebook poster, I also (generally) know what my audience wants to see and what they don't.

My solution? Start a baby blog. I know I myself plan to do this. I may not add the bare belly pictures, but I fully intend to track my belly changes with time, add photos of my kids, relay random anecdotes. Maaaaaybe post a sonogram photo. It's really just about knowing your audience. If you have the link to my baby blog, you're probably going to be a part of my close friends or family and not just any ol' weird friend of mine on facebook that I probably don't actually know. I mean, who knows what those people do with your pictures on facebook. Think about it; we grant so much access to our lives but we don't really think about the scope of how that information can be used. I know I'm an open book, but there are certain things that just creep me out.

Welcome to Filthy Kitties 2.0, Mobile Edition

Now that I am finally figuring out the full capabilities of my phone, nearly 2 years after getting it, I've discovered that I can post directly to here. You'd think after a year of posting pictures to facebook, using google text to find restaurant addresses, and sending tweets via my mobile device, I'd have stumbled upon this by now. I guess I didn't think about the possibility that blogger offers a text/email posting function. My phone is a rather shitty (comparatively speaking, with iPhones, Droids, and the like), out-of-manufacture LG Dare and has terrible internet browsing thus leading me away from what I'd initially bought the phone to do - torture the internet with my inane blog posts. With all that behind me, I'm ready to embark on a new adventure, or rather get back to the roots of this blog. There won't be many kitties photos, as they reside about 40 miles apart now, but there will be ridonkulous photo posts instead. I'm guessing there will be a photo flood of old pictures now that I've got the hang of this. Enjoy!
