I'll tumblr for ya: What do you meme part 2

A few weeks ago I decided to figure out tumblr.  I couldn't. I did a few Google searches, read some articles, and even signed up for my own account.  I spent a good chunk of an afternoon looking through various "tumblelogs" that I might want to follow.  I still don't get it.  Something about social networking and a multimedia platform. I think it's the next generation of blogging,or at least that's what they told me.  Maybe it's a cross between this antiquated blog and Twitter.  And you know how I feel about Twitter

I noticed a lot of tumblr blogs that were dedicated to a theme. I liked the then and now blog where people submitted photos taken from the same spot "then" and "now".  It reminded me of my old favorite, "Boring Postcards".  I loved that book.
Maybe I'll start my own tumblr blog for freakish M&Ms

Chickie has been potty training for about eight months.  The turning point came when she discovered YouTube on daddy's iPad while she was doing her "business".  We don't normally allow YouTube, but when your two year old accesses it through the Talking Ginger app (why do we still have that?), what can you do? She loves the videos of Play-Doh surprise eggs and the Anna, Elsa, and Kristoff Barbie scenes. Why didn't I think of filming myself playing with Barbies? Oh yeah, because that would be weird. Does she make any money doing this? Why is her voice so annoying?

What about those quizzes people post on Facebook? Should I really change my hair to strawberry blonde, move to Texas, and call myself Deborah?


*Check out DisneyCarToys on YouTube if you're interested in watching a grown woman with an annoying voice play Barbies. BTW it's not what you think, it's wholesome. Strange, but wholesome.
