Why did the pregnant swollen piggy go to the market?I think that everyone should take a moment to take a picture of their feet and then post it on their blog.
What?
Not everyone has a blog?
I've talked to so many people lately who apologetically confess that they've no blog of their own. I suppose they think that I'll scoff (scoff tape?) at them, or ridicule them, or deliver chastisement in their direction. Nothing could be further from the truth. I actually applaud them. I say, Hooray to you, you cute little cipher in the snow!
Have you seen that movie by-the-way? Sad! I mean, Sad.
But I know how the blog-less feel. I don't have a dvr. I don't watch American Idol. I don't eat meat unless I am pregnantly craving it. Nor do I own a microwave! I am serious! Chup wants a microwave, but I can't think of a good reason why we should get one. A good reason. Like a really, really good one.
Melting butter is not a good reason.
So in conclusion, if people can live without a microwave they can certainly live without a blog. Some people also live without feet. But if you do have feet and a blog then please remember that I am proposing that everyone take a picture of their feet and post it on their blog. (see: above)
But . . . if you have no feet and no blog then chances are you have a microwave?
I don't know about any of this.
In conclusion (yes, again) I'd like to hear from my vast audience of blog-less readers via my comment section. How do you feel about making the rest of us do all the entertaining around here? (That was a joke that hurt Chup's feelings.) Also, what would you like to see more of on c jane enjoy it? My pictures of Cancun?
(I've never been to Cancun.)
And do you have a microwave?
The Jed Wells Headshot Project
62 Pieces of Opinion:
Uh, my feet? Not so pleasant.
A blog? Have one, but not so good at keeping up-to-date regularly. Please accept my most sincere gratitude to you and others for keeping me entertained.
A microwave? I do not own one. So nice to have a fellow microwaveless soul out there. When my secret is discovered, you'd think I just said I don't like chocolate. WHAT????? say they. My reasons? Not worth the explanation, but well thought out nonetheless.
Nice toes!
Chup can have our microwave. We have an extra one.
Ma, what is better: Your feet, or your blog?
And are you saying that my blog is BETTER THAN CHOCOLATE?
Md, Two microwaves??? What, are you a hoarder??????
P.S. Md, you have a secret blog. I know it. You know it.
P.P.S Md, remember how I beat you twice at the drum-off? That is what you get for playing on EXPERT, while I play on MEDIUM.
Did they teach you nothing at Md school?
Oh my gosh.
I don't have a DVR.
I don't ever watch American Idol.
I don't eat meat.
I am a little bit like CJane.
I am so cool! It's like when you show up at school wearing the same shirt as the hottest, most popular chick--and not just the hottest most popular chick in the school, but the hottest, most popular chick in the school DISTRICT!
I DO have a microwave though--one that doesn't know it has the ability to do more than pop microwave popcorn.
(And that's the moment you realize that the hottest, most popular chick in the school DISTRICT is the hottest and most popular because she looks way hotter in that shirt that you do.)
I have a newish blog. I think people who don't have blogs are purer than I am, but I won't give mine up.
When I had my first baby we didn't have a microwave. I nearly starved. Your mileage may vary.
I was looking at a blog recently by a woman who took a picture of her feet every time she posted, on a scale, while the numbers inched slightly up and down. I searched her archives for photos of her face or any other part of her body, but found none. I thought it was kind of depressing. I wanted to tell her to look up. (But I didn't.)
I feel for your swollen feet.
Hmmmm... I don't think I'll be taking any pictures of my feet and posting them on my blog. (If you read my last post, you would know why. Just trust me - I'm doing the world a favor.)
How can you live without a microwave? Aiyeeeeeeee!
I have...
feet
a microwave (from 1970)
and a blog
my secret? Nobody in my ward knows I have a blog and I try very hard to keep it that way... I know its weird that the world reads my blog and yet those I see several times a week have no clue... it's even been asked at enrichment groups who has a blog and who doesn't... and I conveniently need a drink of water until the conversation has moved on.
Why am I so lame you ask? Because I want to be able to have a dinner party and post it on my blog and not hurt anybody's feelings.
I want to rant about some of the parents I have to deal with in my calling and not hurt anybody's feelings.
I want to talk about the birthday picnic that we had for a friend in the ward and not hurt anybody's feelings... because a) you weren't invited and b) we didn't do a birthday luncheon for you.
So lame as it may seem I like to have blog anonymously but in reality I'm just trying not to hurt feelings.
But when I move back to Utah its free game... read my blog all you want!
p.s. I absolutely love your blog!!
How strange that we were just discussing "Cipher in the Snow' with our home teachers last night. Yes, our lessons run deep.
My feet were even bigger when I was preggers the first time. Try it in a humid climate.
I do have a blog, but I do not have a microwave. I've lived without one for about a year and half and it doesn't bother me much. Sometimes I wish I had one for easy reheating of leftovers though.
If you have a blog.. you don't have time for American Idol, meat or microwaves. You just have to live on wonder bread and worry about what the heck to say next. :)
oh let the guy have his microwave. I am sure he wouldn't force you to use it.
I have two blogs, so that I don't fall in that category.
I do have a microwave, but I wish I didn't. And I use it more than I would like too, since it sits there. But since the hubster doesn't get home till after dinner time half of the week, I need to be able to warm his dinner easily for him.
Microwave reason: Baked Potatoes. 8 minutes in a 25 dollar microwave for two baked potatoes, shorter if its just lunch for one, or if you have a nicer microwave. That way you can have baked potato goodness without having to wait 40 minutes, and you don't have use all the energy that 40 minutes plus preheating an oven would take.
Haves:
feet
blog
camera
melted butter
Have nots:
microwave (gave it away two weeks ago, never looked back)
American Idol
DVR
dishwasher

Chup's rebuttal
Actually, it's a toss-up between the feet and the blog. Can't narrow it down to which is better (or worse, actually.)
Your blog better than chocolate? How did we get there??? How 'bout your blog and chocolate together make a perfect moment in the day.
I was simply saying that when my "no microwave" secret is discovered by those microwavely endowed, there is such shock displayed that one might have assumed that I'd just declared that I DO NOT LIKE CHOCOLATE (which, of course, is utterly false, as you might recall as we sat and discussed chocolate cake recipes last summer at my daughter's surprise party.)
Happy blogger, I think that's a risky game you're playing --although I greatly relate to the impulse. I'm always wanting to blog about things that happen in my ward that are funny or annoying, but I resist because I'm just sure that, although right now only a couple of my ward members know of my blog, the week I post a lengthy diatribe would be the week the subjects of the diatribe would find my blog. Or the bishop. My motto: try not to blog anything I wouldn't want the bishop reading. (Yeah. It makes for a boring blog.)
Been there done that.
I do have a blog and I did post about my prego feet and the lack of my ability to view them a few weeks back: http://darbylynnblog.blogspot.com/2008/03/31-weeks.html
I do own a Microwave and I don't watch AI. :)
Blog, yes, several different ones for several years now and I agree about pressure to "entertain" especially when sometimes appreciative comments are few and far between! :)
Feet-Picture coming, I have always loved my feet.
Microwave- yes, but only because the apartment i moved into had a permanently installed one. It was used as a storage cupboard for a while, until I needed to defrost frozen soup really fast. Then I found myself defrosting more and more often. I'm glad it's not coming with use when we move out. I was better off without it. Or when i get enough will power to not use. like that will ever happen....
oh and my mom ADORES chocolate. Just in case she didn't make that clear!
can't live without the nuke.
but perhaps when the teengares go?
Ma, excuse my poor reading capabilities. It is all making sense. Only, I wish you'd still say that my blog was better than chocolate.
Pray about it.
Your blog is definitely better than chocolate. If I feel a craving coming on, I just read your blog and all is well. Microwaves are highly overrated. And, I definitely feel for your feet. I normally wear a size 8 1/2, but when I was pregnant with twins the only thing that would fit my "shrek" feet was a pair of size 11 flip flops! Even then my doctor saw the marks they left on my feet and recommended I get a bigger size! Yikes!! If I had a blog, I would definitely post a photo of those twin/shrek feet. Oh, and I love the red nail polish.
Your blog is better than:
my feet or pictures of my feet
my cheapo microwave
my TV (no channels, no DVR, just DVDs)
I am sorry but I feel a chocolate craving coming on. (Perhaps your blog induces such things?)
Just some thoughts:
- The pregnant swollen piggy went to the market to get some pebble ice to chew on!
- I think blogs are great. They are just a step down from being able to read each other's thought bubble.
- I have not even HEARD of Cipher in the Snow, but BABY MAMA was hysterical!
- My DVR and I have never been happier together.
- I have only watched one year of AI and that is only because I was stuck at home with 3 kids (one a newborn) while hubby was away on business (FOR 7 MONTHS)
-I AM a meat eater, although I find vegetarians interesting.
- My microwave and I are BFF. We are in contact with each other several times a day, at least.
- I don't want to encourage any foot fetish people out there to try and find me. I have been told that I have...and I quote "VERY SEXY FEET".............creeps.
- I would love to see more pics of the retro house.
"Count your many blessings..."
I have feet.
And a microwave.
And TWO blogs.
(And I love reading yours.)
I do have a microwave; it hides things from my dog when I'm rushing out the door, late for work again, and I don't want him to pillage the kitchen for the third time that week. Because he can peel bananas, open Tupperware, and shatter crock pots only to eat half cooked roasts like no dog you've ever met. ... So, my microwave, more than anything else, is a storage area for baked goods and sometimes bananas.
As for feet and blogs, I have a few of each. 2 feet and a few blogs.
Cipher in the Snow is indeed sad, but the sick person in me laughs hysterically at the part where the teacher gives that kid a good beat-down with the baseball bat. Who does that?! A prairie teacher.
I have a microwave, but I rarely use it if I ever do use it. I usually heat everything up on the stove, in the oven, or with the toaster. Things just taste better not microwaved. The microwave is mostly for my friends who need popcorn.
Ah, finally you ask! I want more pictures of your new house. I'm talking full on tour from roof to foundation--hear me!? Chanks a lot.
Your poor, poor, piggies. The day after you have that little chief you're gonna think your skinny little feet are the sexiest in America. I remember holding them up in amazement at how much they'd shrunk!
I'd love to take a picture of my feet but I can't see my feet because of my huge belly and since I'm not pregnant, that's pretty sad.
I never knew you didn't had a microwave. Just when I thought I knew you...
P.S. Little Miss Snap Snap and I went by your house Saturday but missed you again. Are you ever home? You know, by the looks of your feet, you should be resting at home. (only kidding.) Then Lee and I checked out a house around the block from you (not quite what we need, but it was cool) Sunday and I noticed your door was a different color than Saturday. You work fast! I love the color.
What the heck is a DVR?....and what exactly are these wards you all talk about?
Your blog IS better than chocolate when:
I am on a diet and/or I'm in a deep health nut phase
My family is around and I can't be imbibing at that particular moment
I am on a "no chocolate for a week or two" kick just to prove I am in charge of my addictions
How's that???
I tried to leave a comment, and the visual verification was gone.
You’re such a tease.
I have a blog.
I don't have a dvr.
I am old skool Mormon, I have seen Cipher In The Snow.
And The Mailbox.
And Uncle Ben.
And Johnny Lingo.
I don't watch American Idol.
I have a microwave - How on earth can you reheat and defrost things fast?
Here are my toes (from last year)...
http://tinyurl.com/4gglmy
They still look the same.
Okay, maybe my nail polish is gone, but other than that.
Well, maybe not sunburned, but yes, yes, still the same.
Oh wait, maybe a little dry...
Maybe those aren't my toes at all.
Maybe those are the toes of a foot model.
You'll never know.
I do think that I deserve a prize for being the only one to show my toes.
I didn't even make you travel to my blog to do it.
I know how you hate doint that
*sniff*
er...I meant to say "doing".
Oh who am I kidding? I was just trying out some new slang.
I'm cool like that.
BTW, when I say "prize", I mean something like...hmmm...naming your firstborn daughter after me.
Or something like that.
wait, how DO you melt butter without a microwave?! haa! oh, cjane, you never cease to give me a much needed chuckle! do i have to paint my toe-nails as beautifully as yours are to post a foot picture? if so, i may have to decline!
I have a blog, but no camera. I have a microwave, but no sound on my computer. I have feet, but no stereo system. I am learning I don't have to have everything.
I saw a lady today with no feet. I also couldn't tell if she had hands or not.
I'm not kidding, it was sad. But she was beaming like a ray of sunshine with a smile big enough to see for blocks.
It made me not miss my tv and dvr so much.
And very thankful for my parts.
ps. you want me to bring you some pellet ice so you don't have to take those poor swollen feet to market to market?
i'm confused. when did microwaves get a bad rap?
is it just 'cause cjane said so?
i have one. proudly. i even reheated baby bottles in it. (which everyone's going to tell you is a big NO NO... but they say that about lots of things.)
You know, a few years ago a "footo" would have been fine, however, as the years progress my feet digress into a state not dissimilar to that of my dad.
In other words...would a photo of the microwave suffice?
Yes, Cipher in the Snow is sad.
No American Idol for me.
I NEED my microwave.
Your feet look very uncomfortable.
I love my DVR.
Your blog is better than chocolate. Way better. I mean in.
I always hated it when someone said, "it'll all be over soon." Not saying that.
Best wishes . . . we're all waiting .
The only time I took pictures of the feet-- were my two young sons, who decided to make their nails pink!
http://mcclellansofeastlake-laura.blogspot.com/2007/06/wish-granted.html
I take pictures of my feet only on vacation.
I have a microwave that is used as a hot chocolate machine. Even in the summer.
I do watch American Idol, and not only so I know what everyone is talking about.
I can't go back to life before the DVR.
I would like to see more video clips of your grandpa on your blog. That was seriously the best footage ever.
Beat you to it Cjane. I posted my feet on January 11, 2008, and those of my daughters too.
I've been to Cancun.
I have a microwave.
And the idea of posting pictures of feet on blogs was MY idea - HELLO?
how can you live without a microwave? wait until you have a few kids running around and every second counts... my-feet - I keep looking at them thinking- I really should use that pedicure certificate I have in my wallet... now- I just need a free hour.
Anonymous, I don't think anyone's answered your question yet: a ward is our are of the insane asylum, where many of us live, and it's not a good place to blog about people annoying you.
Actually, a ward is an annoying young person we care for.
Just kidding. A ward is an LDS congregation.
Make that "our area" of the asylum.
Thanks Zina for the explanation (all three of them.)
Moral is: I have funny commenters.
What is the argument against a microwave? What would induce Jessica to write "I do have a microwave, but I wish I didn't. And I use it more than I would like too, since it sits there."
Guilt over using a microwave? What next!
I loved my puffy pregnant feet. So cute! (And uncomfortable.)
Robyn
Thanks for clearing up the ward thing :) DVR is still a mystery?
DVR = Digital Video Recorder. Kind of like a TiVo. Records your show "inside" the TV. Very cool... but can be lived without as long as you don't start crying if you're not home or near a TV in time for the Provo council meeting.
-Lana
no blog.
microwaves cause cancer.
Thanks for clearing up the DVR thing! Seriously...am I out of it or what!? Haven't watched TV in about a year so I'm not crying over missed shows anymore :) However, I do rely on FUNNY blogs (such as this one!) to entertain me....and microwaves to cook my food! So far I'm quite satisfied with how both of them are doing.
i am a stranger who reads your blog - everyday. i have my own blog and post on it almost everyday. i did post a pic of my preggo feet, with bright bio-hazard orange colored toes. i have a microwave, one stuck in the wall and a old college one in the garage (garage = storage). i am trying to eliminate using the wall one and am giving the garage one away.
thank you for letting me post. :)
dang, a ton of comments, but I just gotta add that I have the raddest microwave in the world.
Over here we are cramped on space so it is a microwave, oven, steam oven and nanosteam oven(whatever that is supposed to be) all in one. I'm truly in love, I don't think I'd ever want a normal microwave again.
As for the blog - had to make it private 'cause of pervets looking at my baby boy.
my feet...I'll put my tootsies up there one day.
p.s. you have the neatest blog, and from what I can tell a pretty spiffy house too. Thanks for letting me read.
oh and your blog is better than chocolate.
Can't live without microwave popcorn every night.
Can't stand American Idol.
Don't really like chocolate.
Have two blogs--one I write in every week and one that I am behind on because I hate uploading pictures---it stresses me.
Don't like feet and will never photograph mine, but I love shoes, so am thinking of doing a blog just on my favorite shoes.
But then I would have to upload the pictures...
I had to dig to find this old post. We don't know each other but I did put a picture up of my feet. They are fat even when I am without child but my husband loves them, cute little fat feet.
http://www.munnfun.blogspot.com/
I have the same used microwave given to me 13 years ago and I love my DVR. One night a week my husband and I watch our 3 (recorded) favorite shows and eat ice cream after putting the kids to bed. Cheap date night.
We do not partake of American Idol.
My blog is not for entertainment purposes and I would love to see more of anything on yours. I really do enjoy it!
