Isn't it funny how something, some little bitty thing, holds the utmost importance today and then weeks or months or years later, we look back and realize how little bitty it really was? Or how we can page through the photo albums housed on our computers in amazement that our big kids were once that tiny, that we got through that tough time or that the world eventually returned to the everydayness of loading the dishwasher and changing more diapers and picking the kids up from soccer practice? It's like listening to an old mix tape and remembering how killer OMD really was and wondering what in the hell the slow jam obsession was all about, all in one 60-minute cassette.
Just for a bit of perspective, let's poke around in the archives of some favorite blogs and see what those folks were up to some July way back when:
Last July, Stephanie was desperately seeking a mean-mommy mask to intimidate the hell out of her kids when she really just wants to laugh at their antics. (If you've found one, Stephanie, call me. No really, I may need to borrow it).
In 2005, our own Sarah was very busy watching a lot of television (isn't that is so old school?), replacing Joey with a little Carnivale.
And about that same time, Jason was diggin' on his rad wife. What's cool is that he's still that kooky-bananas for the lady.
In '04, Jen was going ga-ga (and all bust-ass economic analytical) over THE diaper bag.
In the Year of our Lord 2003, another Strollerderby bad ass, MetroDad, saw blogging and banjos in his future.
Way back in aught-three, Dooce was doing a lot of dry heaving. Good times.
What were you doing -- or more importantly, blogging about -- all those years ago?
