Things This Blogger Tells Her Husband...

funny blogger sayings

Things I [as a blogger] tell my husband:
  1. I'll be ready in five minutes.
  2. I'm just going to answer one email.
  3. This won't take any time at all.
  4. I just need one or two pictures.
  5. I'm just going to buy one ad spot next month.
  6. Maybe I should just throw in the towel on the whole blog thing...
  7. Typing up this draft will just take two seconds.
  8. I'm going to bring my camera today—just in case.
  9. 100 emails in my inbox? No, that doesn't stress me out!
  10. This new camera? Think of it like a blogging investment
  11. No, I'm not Instagramming a picture of my food!
  12. It's OK! I'll get up extra early to do it in the morning.
  13. I spent all day working. No blogging.
This is something that Daniel and I joke and laugh about often—because we all know I'm guilty of saying each of these at one time. It's all about balance—and thank goodness I have a patient, loving husband who's letting me find mine.

What do you tell your husband/family/friends about blogging? If you do Thursday 13 (any topic) this week, link it up in the comments!

jess said...

Ahh, yep - this all sounds familiar!

Michelle said...

Haha I tell him ALL of this! :)

Julie said...

LOL this made me crack up! I may have said one or two (or all) of these at some point! ;)

Kateri Von Steal said...

This is funny stuff here!


One of the things we (my boyfriend, my son and/or I) say on a regular basis:
"The cat did it."


For anything.
It's pretty funny.

Danielle said...

So funny! I am guilty of many of those too :) Luckily, my hubby thinks blogging is a great hobby for me and also a great creative outlet. He's supportive and I couldn't be more thankful for him!!

Rachel G said...

haha! I tend to focus all of my blogging during times when my husband isn't around so that it does take up the time we have together. Of course, that works for us because we have very different work schedules! He's a very good blogger husband, though. He comes up with lots of post ideas for me!

Baking Suit said...

I can say that I say some of those things, but considering I met my husband through our blogs and he still blogs too, there isn't much room for him to be grumpy!

I don't do Thursday 13 anymore because it was just too much every week so I do three now. Thursday Three - Pins and Questions http://wp.me/p23wZz-qa

Lauren -simplywithasmile said...

These are all so relatable!! Because we all know it only takes a minute to write a draft right?! Haha!

Sara said...

LOL! This is so relateable!!

Laura at Howdy Girl said...

I totally understand this! Gosh, people roll their eyes when I tell them I blog, especially my parents! I can't wait having to explain to a future boyfriend, "Oh yeah, it's not me you're just dating, you're dating my blog too. Hope that's okay!"

Emily Adam said...

Just made my first ever Thursday 13 post, trying to give blogging a go - will see what it leads to!

Savannah Boyd said...

I say all of these things every single week. I don't know if my husband understands why he's being forced to take pictures of me sometimes, but he does it anyway. We got keepers!

Jana said...

Guilty of all of those! That and I tell him all about my favorite posts I read that day. He's such a good sport and humors me. :)

Lily Garay said...

Hahahaha! That's too funny:) Here's my link-up post! "It's Okay" http://lilygaray.blogspot.com/2013/03/its-okay.html

Shelley said...

Bloggers husbands have to understand all of the above :)

Krysten @ Why Girls Are Weird said...

Haha I've said almost all of these things. Lucky for me, Izzy plays WoW so he sort of gets my addiction.

gladleynet said...

Uh oh, I recognize some of these…

Kiersten Evan said...

I've seen a couple posts like this lately - they're so funny! And although I'm single, I think a lot of them are lies I tell myself...

Kate said...

Okay, just give me a minute.
And I always round down my spending. Always.

Olivia Irwin said...

This made me want a cupcake...

Kristin said...

So great! And so true. Sharing this with all the other blogger for my Fabulous Finds Friday today :-)

natalie said...

OMG... I say all of these!!


And now I seriously want a cupcake. Thanks a lot!

Becca Moss said...

I love this! I'm SO guilty of saying at least a couple of these! ;)
Us bloggers know exactly what you mean.

Elizabeth ⚓ said...

Oh heavens yes- I tell my husband almost all of these things and sometimes before he even asks me what I did on any given day he'll say "I saw on instagram that you..." I think I'll keep him, he sure is a trooper!

Danielle said...

I'm definitely guilty of #4. Q is so so sweet to take my outfit photos for me but sometimes he just can't capture the "perfect" photo. So funny to read this post because it's so true! And love the cupcake photo :)
