I never thought it right that Mom's blog was on Blogspot, and mine was lazing about here in cushy Typepad. I made the decision to get into Mom's blog, export everything, and import it here.
That would have been a great plan if I could still get into Mom's blog. I should have done it just before "Too Soon" gave way to "Forgot Password."
Of course, that also means I can't delete Mom's old blog. It really was a pointless exercise, copying and pasting all Mom's entries. I think I realized that as I was copying and pasting all the old comments. That's when I stopped and realized this is one of those pointless posthumous missions that produces nothing but guilt.
On a related note (get it? "Related?" I typed it and I just now got it) all the in-law posts are back up. They went through my filter, and of course they all passed, but they still need to get Gary's editorial approval.
Oh, and on a truly unrelated note, I want to update my blogroll with one that will show each link's most recent posts. I know you're in the feed reader. "Pah!" you sneer, "Who actually goes to a blog site anymore?" That makes my vain attempt to resurrect my Mom even more pathetic. Screw you, snobby feed person. I'm going to Paris without you.
Well, though I use a feed reader I usually come here directly because it's quicker than waiting (I'm a hot off the press sort of person) plus it looks nicer. It's like coming to your house instead of talking on the phone.
What's so much better about Typepad? Am o, as a Blogspotter, a second-class citizen?

I have to come here. I have to comment. I can't comment from my reader. :)

You're moving a static blog? What do you hope to accomplish besides a time suck? I'm glad you already stopped that.
You should obsess more about Paris, it's more productive.

Big Dot - Really, Typepad just has more options that I never use (including the ability to have two blogs, mine and Mom's).
Magpie - Ah! And you have excerpts in your feed, so I always come see yours.
Tami - It wasn't rational,I know. Actually, tonight I kept getting amped up for Paris and then I'd distract myself. All that's left is to pluck my eyebrows, and pack.

I always prefer the sites. Really, my blog links are my online bookmarks. A readers sounds smart and thrifty and time-saving, hence why it hasn't happened in my world yet.

Elisabeth - You know what I need? I need a way to keep track of what blogs I've commented on. I often try to go back and see if there's a response, but usually I forget what I said to who. There should be an app for THAT.
