Consumption & Blog Stalking

I’m supposed to be painting my hallway today. I’m supposed to be working on Britta‘s surprise baby gift. I’m supposed to be working on my website (which I want to go live at the end of this month). I’m supposed to have a job. I’m supposed to be doing a lot of things. But today I’m trying to give myself a little leeway. Even if I don’t think I deserve it, seeing as how I’ve been doing next to nothing for the past month…

Britta is preggers, as you might have guessed by now. I stopped by her cute blog to look at some of her preggers photos that she and her friend Kim had taken at her work. Then I read Barb’s comment on Britta’s blog post, which led me to Barb’s blog. Which led me to her post on consumerism and purging. She made the point that our great ability to have anything at our fingertips has led us to be an “I need” society. My last post is evidence. As are MANY of my other posts. I do think that there is a certain amount of therapy in simply posting about an item. It almost makes me feel like I own it. That I went and sought it out and it’s mine. And then I show you how awesome my taste is on my blog. That last sentence was a joke. Seriously.

That’s all I have to say about consumption and blog stalking.
