I am now officially part of the WordPress family – yup, I have a badge and everything.
I’ll start by thanking the people who have so graciously invited me to become part of this family: Charlotte at It Does Not Do To Dwell On Dreams And Forget To Live and Joe at Confessions of a Technophile. I’ll give you ten minutes to go read their (awesome) blogs. Your time starts now.
Done? Okay, let’s move on.
Continuing the family analogy, I was just wondering about what member of the family I would be if this were a real family. An annoying younger sibling? An oppressive older sibling? A forgetful grandparent? A wailing baby?
Maybe, but I like to think of myself more as a playful, slightly dull pet dog.
(I bet Charlotte and Joe are regretting this already)
I would also like to take a moment to say how appreciative I am of my WordPress family. It truly does feel as if they are a real family. Like a family, they are brutally honest, often correcting my grammatical inaccuracies and questioning my inadequate knowledge when I pretend to be an expert on things I know absolutely nothing about. They make for good critics as well, lauding my relatively better posts and raising a scholarly, experienced eyebrow at the more…um, unintelligible ones. In fact, they’re probably doing the latter right now.
But now that they’re “officially” family, there’s nothing they can do about it. They will simply have to put up with me, because that’s what families do – put up with one another. And love one another of course, but first let’s just see how far we can get with the ‘putting-up’ bit.
Okay, so now I shall proceed to nominate the following bloggers to become part of this family. (If you feel that becoming a member of a family that I’m part of is more of a punishment than an award, feel free to ignore this. No pressure.)
1. Rob Complains About Things
2. Confessions Of A Hopeless Introvert
3. The Great Unwashed
4. Mostlytrueramblings
5. Parenting is not my superpower
6. Adoxographia
7. Comment is free
8. SID’s Blog
9. Ginger’s Grocery
10. Mashed Potatoes Blog
So welcome to the family!
Funny for Nothing 
Maybe I cringed… just a little. But in a good way. 🙂
Ah well. As long as it was in a good way. 😀
Okay, I’ll join the family, but I’m not getting you a Christmas gift. Also, thanks so much!
Haha! That was cute 🙂
So kind of you!! I truly appreciate you taking the time to notice me. 😀 Happy blogging!
And happy blogging to you too!
Thanks for the nomination! I love your blog and I appreciate you taking the time to check out mine!
You’re welcome!
And thank you 😀
I don’t know how this works or, well, what this means, but I very much appreciate getting this invite into the family. I suddenly feel like I am back in high school and just got invited to hang out with the “cool kids”, or maybe like I am Harry Potter who just got invited to Hogwarts or maybe I am Frodo Baggins who just got invited to join the fellowship of the ring. I probably am over-thinking and over-doing this I guess, but thanks are in order. So, thank you! 🙂
Haha, no problem 😀

You know that weird, artistic, forgetful aunt/cousin (dependent on age)…..I’m her.
Haha, my long-lost aunt 😉
