Besides being a very talented writer, what I value most about Sarah is her friendship---she is so kind, sweet and loyal---I know I can depend on her in a pinch. She has always been incredibly supportive of Meno Mama and knows how to lift up my spirits when I'm having a craptastic day. Please welcome this talented, hilariously funny lady to my site with lots of comment love!

While I spend my
time these days doing more work at my “real” (paying) job and
being a mom and wife (don’t look in my sink), I still try to stay
active in the writing world where I crank out a post or two when I
can. Some weeks I’m full of inspiration and other weeks the
instructions to a box of Hamburger Helper are more interesting than
my writing. I’m in a couple of different groups for bloggers that
help me tremendously when I need some inspiration or some support. I
just wish I could spend more time chatting with them and writing than
I get to do most weeks.
It suddenly came to
me one evening as I sat staring at Facebook with an empty head and
even emptier stomach-what if there were actual support groups that
bloggers could join if they needed help with certain things?
And it went downhill from there…
Having technical
issues with your blog? Don’t understand how it all
works?
Never fear, you can join B.U.T.T.S-Bloggers Undergoing Tremendous Technical Stress

answer that…

Hey you, you look like a great writer there. How would you like to work for The Sadder But Wiser Girl. The perks are great, the hours kind of suck, but there is wine and chocolate!
ReplyDeleteHaha! I didn't sleep through English but I can't say the same about statistics or accounting. And one teacher had the girl next to me whack me with her newspaper to wake me up. I could sleep non stop in those days, now I'm up at 2:30 reading my favorite blogs because I can't sleep!
ReplyDeleteMarcia, hope you are having a great time!
There is a support group for everyone! I remember sleeping nonstop. Oh those were the days...
DeleteThere are times I could use a group... not sure which one I fit into...
ReplyDeleteIt's too bad you were not able to go to the writer's convention... maybe next year :)
Have a great weekend :)
Right? Love the ones you came up with too! I giggled my butt off when I wrote this-glad to see other people are enjoying it too!
ReplyDeleteI would love to go to ANY convention right now, as long as it wasn't in Iowa! :-D
ReplyDeleteHaha I love the abbrv ... Think I should join one of the group :)
ReplyDeleteSo many to choose from, so little time! :-D
DeleteHahaha I feel like I could be CEO of BOOBS! :)
ReplyDeleteI hereby appoint you to that position! DONE!
DeleteNice Post. this is Really Helpful Post for every Blogger. Thank you very much for Sharing with us.
ReplyDeleteB.O.O.B.S. is definitely the group for me. With tearful appreciation! :)
ReplyDeleteI laughed so hard when I wrote this, I shed a few tears as well! :-D
DeleteA fun post. You're very talented and I wish you the best. I hope you'll visit me sometime at Chubby Chatterbox.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'll do some visiting tonight when I'm not wrangling children! LOL!
DeleteHa! I could definitely see these being useful! Funny post! :)
ReplyDeleteOh yes very useful indeed! Thanks for commenting!
DeleteOMG so so funny! I love it. I know some people who need a few of these - seriously. Sometimes I wonder how people edit so poorly and yes! Slept through English class! I, not wanting to make a mistake, will actually find a different word to use if I'm unsure of the correct one to use (lying, laying). Ha! Hope you're having fun with Erma, Marcia and Sarah is an AWESOME person to have take over your blog.
ReplyDeleteWe'll see if she still thinks so when she returns to the aftermath! :-D
DeleteI bet BRAS is a supportive group! (Sorry,couldn't resist). Fun post.
ReplyDeleteWhy yes, I bet it is. You totally get me, Bryan! :-)
Delete**Are you sick of reading blogs by people who slept through English class?**
ReplyDeleteFUuuuuuuuuuuNNY!
Um, I'd probably join "Blogger Support Group For Really Weird People."
We must connect then. Really weird person right here... I'll think of an acronym!
DeleteGreat ideas . . . maybe I'll actually start one of these . . . LOL! Been missing Sadder But Wiser Girl lately. So glad to see you here with Mama.
ReplyDeleteAw... thanks! It's nice to know people are missing me! :-D
DeleteSarah was a great choice to take over your blog. She a funny cool nerdy chick! Problem is, she might not let you have it back!
ReplyDeleteMwah ha ha! This was a LOT of fun!
DeleteLol. I want to join BOOBS immediately. I need boobs, too, so that totally works.
ReplyDeleteBOOBS! BOOBS! Fun to say! Fun group to join! :-D
Delete*grinning* Very clever and funny, Sarah! I could easily join some of these groups, but lately I think I'd be in BB-FN (behind blogs - finishing novel). haha. glad I could spend today catching up a bit. I needed the laughs!
ReplyDeleteI love that you're finishing a novel! Definitely more important than joining a support group! Thanks for coming over and choosing this as the place to catch up with, Beth! :-D
DeleteSo funny! Glad I found your blog...I've been looking for others like me! Off to read some more.
ReplyDeleteWe are rare gems, yes we are! Glad you enjoyed it! :-D
DeleteI am laughing and embarrassed at the same time...so wish those blogger help sites were real! Excited to find your blog and read your stories as I too have many awful hamburger helper, cry myself to sleep, I drank too much wine..what in the hell am I doing days. I am a stay at home mom who just started working for my MIL from home- it might go down hill from here. Ha ha Hope you will join me for a glass of wine...or two!
