I can’t believe it’s been over two years that I have been a tiny spec in the giant blogosphere. I wonder what this blog will be like in 10 years. Will I even be doing it in 10 years? Thoughts of its purpose, its meaning and relevancy are floating through my head.
And, then I wondered if this blog would place me in some stereotypical category of people in the 2000s, a mom blogger. In 2030, The New York Times will inevitably boil this decade down to a few highlights, one of which is certain to be blogs with a spotlight on mommies venting on the Internet.
What will my legacy be outside of an online scrapbooker? I can see myself at a dinner party in the future and my blog coming up in polite conversation.
Partygoer: “Ha. Are you serious? You had a mom blog? What was it called?”
Me: “Stinkerbean. I actually got hits from all over the world? And had some regulars.”
Partygoer: “Did you make any money doing it?”
Me: “No, but I had this one post about that fitness hag, Jillian Michaels. And, it got at least 30 hits every day.”
Partygoer: “Did you ever meet ‘dooce’?”
Me: “No.”
Partygoer: “Well, at least you had fun doing it.”

28 Comments
Boo-yah! I received 28 comments on my “Jobless and Addicted to Mothering“ article that was published this month on Mamapedia. My regular readers have already read this post as it went live right here on “Stinkerbean” in January. But, somehow I inspired 28 women to submit comments. I got everything from kudos to advice on starting my own business to people imploring me to seek professional help … seriously. Not bad I say. And, it led to the busiest day on my blog yet. That means people other than my mom, Mr. Banks and Keren were reading.
