My friend and fellow Funny Not Slutty writer Alexandra got me thinking a few weeks back when she joyfully celebrated the two-year anniversary of Good Day, Regular People. She wanted to know why no one has invented a line of greeting cards specifically to mark such an occasion and frankly, so do I. In fact, I have a few category suggestions for anyone considering taking that idea and running with it:
The Bloggiversary card from the IRL (In Real Life) Friends
From the family members who know about your blog but don’t read it, which is actually a good thing.
From the Social Media acquaintances who see you posting blog links, talk to you sometimes, and occasionally RT but have never actually read your blog.
From the Social Media friends who read your blog, get your sense of humor, have partied with you at a conference, & have been upgraded to texting & emailing status.
From the Social Media friend(s) that unexpectedly turned into the BFIRL who know calling you is out of the questions when texting is an option:
Feel free to give these to your favorite bloggers and friends. What would you put on a blogging card?
Also? Google Hamster Caskets. Seriously. It’s actually a THING.
Pauline M. Campos is wife to The Husband, mother to “Buttercup,” and has decided that it’s time to make peace with her cellulite.
She got started in newspapers and served as city editor for a few local papers before hitting the big time at The Detroit News and freelancing for the Metro-Detroit based Metro Parent Magazine before taking a break after baby. She’s a featured blogger at www.owningpink.com and contributes to the hilarious www.anarmyofermas.com. Oh right, and her own blog? That’s www.aspiringmama.com. You’re welcome.
She’s also pretty sure God made her lactose intolerant because she refused to stop chewing her ice cream.
I would get the card asking for a definition of “blog…” very funny!
Glad you like this! I had so much fun writing the column.
About time, right?
Yes, these are going to be zinging all over the internet, because what else can you give a blogging buddy on her blogoversary?
Love seeing this here, Pauline. Funny. Never slutty.
Let the zinging begin. Also? We all need to decide how to spell this word. I say Bloggiversary. You say Blogoversary. Hmmmm….
I want a hamster casket. I’ll use it to store candy. Black candy.
Shaped like hamsters.

Well, I *was* going to buy you a moss-handled three handled family grudunza, but I guess I can get you the casket instead. Just pretend to be surprised, eh?
WARGH!
Was that good for you?
that was surprise? I thought someone stepped on your cat.
I can see how you’d get the two mixed up. The cat version includes a lot more blood, though.
My blood.
