My husband's first blog!
So...a funny thing happened when I came home tonight. I opened up my new blog, put the computer in front of my husband and asked him to read it. He casually glanced at the screen but I could tell he had no clue what he was seeing. It took him about ten minutes to read two posts. I sat beside him, a bit perplexed, giving him his space and allowing him time to digest the profound words in front of him.
It wasn't until he scrolled all the way to the bottom of the page and saw our family picture that became interested. "What is this?" He asked. Enthusiastically, I responded, "It's my new blog! Isn't it great?" I expected an equally enthusiastic reply, but I'm pretty sure I heard crickets. Chirp. Chirp. Chirp. Nothing.
"This is a blog?" he said.
"Um...yes. It's a blog. It's my blog. What's wrong with it?" I whispered. I was starting to get concerned. Did I do it wrong? It is hideous? Great. If my own husband doesn't like it, nobody is going to read it!
"Oh. I've never seen a blog before," he said slowly. Whew! Ok, that makes sense. While my husband is fantastic in a million ways, he has managed to completely avoid the world of cyber-networking. Aside from the occasional email, he's not much for computers. Bottom line, I'm happy to say that I have officially introduced my husband to his very first blog....MY blog!
