Apr. 25, 2009 - Hey, wait, ain't that a splog?
So, you muse to yourself, how can this chick be anti-splog one moment and hawking something the next?
First off, I am pregnant. I can do anything I want and it doesn't have to make sense. Rational and I are only nodding acquaintances at this point. Queasy and Sleepy are my new best pals.
Second off, I am way too unimportant for anyone to be trying to get product placement on my blog. I am an influencer only in my own mind. I honestly think these are the coolest coatracks ever and if I get some of them, it will be at the stupid $29.99 full retail price. I am raving about this in the same way I would rave about my $2 maternity clothes a friend found for me at a garage sale. Not in the way Truman's wife raved about cocoa on The Truman Show.
Third off, this probably explains why I was a total flop as a Discovery Toys consultant years ago. I'll yip yap all day about things I have absolutely no investment in, but throw that business element into my personal world and I get all freaked out.
Fourth off, lots of things bother me in theory that I can overlook in myself. John Ortberg describes it thusly, "Human beings have a remarkable capacity for self-deception." Consider this my disclaimer for any future splogging if I ever do become an influencer to voices other than those in my own head.
If none of this makes any sense yet, go back up to the all sufficient reason #1.

Blessings, Holly
