More Than You Really Wanted To Know
Some of my blog-heroes tagged this blog-zero.
I haven't been doing the nag and tag lately. But since you don't mind, I tag you Peppermint Princess; go earn your schniznit once again.
First up, Rima, Ms. Mama Drama, herself tagged me about blogging.
1- How long have you been blogging?
A year-ish.
2- What inspired you to start a blog and who are your mentors?
I woke up one day and futzed with blogger. The rest is herstory. I'm in lurve with Dooce, Chuck and Coco. But who isn't?
3- Are you trying to make money, or blogging just for fun?
This blog just wants to have fun. Until last weekend that is. I checked my Google Ad-Sense account for the 1st time in 6 months. Holy hellza! Whomever is clicking ads, thank you! From now on, this blog may sport a gold-digger chain.
4- What do you love about blogging?
The community.
5-What three things do you struggle with?
Feeling obligated to blog, finding time to blog and responding to comments.
Next, JCK and Daphne slapped me with a high-5.
Link 1: must be about family.
Link 2: must be about friends.
Link 3: must be about yourself, who you are… what you’re all about.
Link 4: must be about something you love.
Link 5: can be anything you choose.

Zero, schmero. We'll let your Google Ad-Sense earnings speak for themselves!
And thanks for playing along with the meme I tagged you for - see, it was pretty harmless.
Hmm, maybe I better check my Ad Sense account. I forgot all about it actually.
I feel you on the thing about blogging out of obligation.
I always wondered if it were worth it to add AdSense.
Cool about making a few dimes here and there. You deserve it!
Funny, I started out blogging by futzing around with blogger, too!
And, I can't say enough about the community. I had NO idea I was going to find so many people I had so much in common with and so much to learn from. Awesome . . .
Ah honesty. I hear ya on the obligation of blogging. Some days it is tough to log on.
Your post on something you love was precious. Thank you for linking it for us. You rock!
Just today my former employer asked my hubby if I would consider coming back. Like you said, there are things I miss, but man, no contest! Babies win. ;)
Oh. And what is this about making money from blogging??? I thought that was just an urban legend. ;)
yay! Tags are fun because you get to know more about the bloggers whom you have come to love.. like you!
I have a hard time responding to comments too. Are you suppose to answer them in the comments, or in a post or on the persons comment ? I just do not know.
it was me. give credit. i had a twitch in my right index finger one day and, well, the rest is "herstory" - great word. i think i'll borrow it.
i meant to say give "me" credit...oopsie *goofball*
I'm dying to know how much you can make via Ads! EMAIL ME NOW! Please? I'll add a smiley face. :)
This was fun to read! I always enjoy reading other people's answers to the memes floating around.
Wow - I'm impressed that you are making money from AdSense - I'm thinking I'll earn my first check around 2010...
Thanks for playing along! I had read all of the posts you have listed and the hysterical one about your mom buying you "mom pants" - was one of the first posts I ever read of yours. I was hooked!
dude. i've made 41 dollars in one year with adsense. what am i doing wrong? or, a better question: what are you doing right?
Girl, you're always fantabulous about responding to comments. I never expect you to, so take a day off or two or three. ;-) You're just so popular and everyone lovvvvvves you! ;-)
~melody~
Yes, finding the time to blog and return comments can be hard sometimes. Especially when I have a toddler who refuses to let me go near my computer at times!
You just reminded me that I was tagged with a similar meme last week.
Nothing wrong with going for gold, by the way.
You are a terrific blogger! I look forward to reading you every day. Thanks for posting the one about the mom jeans again, OMG I had forgotten how funny that one was!
I second what bren said...word for word.
I don't hate that meme. There are a few that I do hate, so that's saying something. And I really don't hate your answers. Especially Dooce. Me luv me some Dooce.
i have to confess that I don't really get the dooce thing.
Great, now I have homework :)
Be wary of any commenters who do not like HRH dooce. :)
Loved reading it all. Congrats on your Ad-sense. Woo-hoo. Pennies from the sky!
Great post! I love to read your writing!
To this very day I still cackle at that mom jeans SNL post. HA!
You are the reason for the money, dear. Cause you know you rock!
a good read! (as always)
Obligation? I so feel that. I am blogging less and less and less.
Wow! Congrats on the Adsense earnings.
