I must say I feel a little behind in bloggy land lately. But those of you that follow me on Twitter know I am almost always there and I am known to seriously abuse #hashtags. I think it’s an incurable addiction so why not write a post about it?
Clearly, balancing my bloggy mojo lately has been a challenge but I am doing the best I can (as I know many of you bloggers are also trying to seek the same kind of balance daily). So today I am sharing some relevant things going on in my life that are either totally lame or totally deserving of a Woo Hoo and I’ll add that infamous #hashtag to each so that you can the full effect – here goes:
I recently started running on the treadmill to get back to looking like this. #Woo Hoo
After realizing how long this process will take I ended up drinking an abundance of wine. #Lame
Thanksgiving is around the corner and it’s a time to get together with family to celebrate and give thanks. #Woo Hoo
It’s also a time to eat too much, making my weight loss journey another reminder of how long it will take. #Lame
I recognize that I’m not going to continue to chase a moment that no longer exists and live for today. #Woo Hoo
Sounds like a great idea on paper, but sometimes I still find myself chasing that fleeting moment. #Lame
I sit down to visit many of my favorite blogs and enjoy a cup of coffee in the process. #Woo Hoo
This happens right at the moment my little girl doesn’t want to take a nap. #Lame
I have some plans to meet some of my closest friends (who live out of state) in the city this holiday season. #Woo Hoo
The thought of bed bugs in my NYC hotel room gives me nightmares. #Lame
Christmas is also fast approaching and it’s my absolute favorite time of year. #Woo Hoo
The thought of purchasing what I need for my kids and trying to afford it all makes me drink an abundance of wine. #Lame
The only thing I want on my list from Santa this year is a brand new iphone. #Woo Hoo
I think I’ll be lucky if I get an ipod touch. #Lame
I could share a million more of these #hashtags because it’s so #addictive. #Woo Hoo
But my kids are telling me it’s time to get off the computer. #Lame
Did you have any #Woo Hoo and #Lame moments this week? Would love to hear about it!
I’ll join you on the #woo hoo and #lame of the iphone. So want. So not going to get.
I ran a sub-8 minute mile yesterday and 7 slow miles today. #Woo hoo
It does not in any way undo the amount of beer and chocolate I enjoyed yesterday. #lame
I have very few actual scheduled activities during my kids’ school hours this week. #Woo hoo
I’ll be using that time to take my RRCA test, run 10 miles and give blood. #lame
I’m sure I could go on, but I too am being pursued by children.
I love the idea of using hashtags in your post haha. I think I’ll wait to see what Verizon comes up with w/regards to the iPhone & possibly was until the summer for the iPhone 5 =)
I’m definitely a Sunday blog reader, or everyday blog reader haha, when I get the chance that is.
Cute, fun post! I LOVE my iPhone. I can’t remember what life was like before it!
Oh this made me laugh so hard. Especially after the huge family photo shoot FAIL we experienced today. They’ll be no lovely Ross family photo on the holiday cards this year. Oh, well. There’s always next year…
I’ll play. I love hashtags.
I spent 9 months getting to my goal weight #woo hoo
In the past month I’ve gained back 10 lbs #lame
I’m starting back on my diet/exercise routine tomorrow #lame and woo hoo
Lipo would be way easier than diet and exercise!
I do! I do!
I found a rubber ducky store (my daughter LOVES rubber ducks) – seriously…RUBBER DUCK STORE! #WOO HOO
I spent $40 on rubber ducks…#lame
I started a 14 day food challenge last week, was going to give up my nightly wine…I lasted until Wednesday!!! #lame!!!
Cute post! I am also behind in blogging land #lame but I did get a PT gig from home #woo hoo. Oh and I plan on starting to run on my treadmill that we just got #woo hoo but I am too darn tired to even think about it #lame!
This week has been an even mix of Woo Hoo and Lame.
I guess sometimes that’s the best we can hope for.
Ryan’s done studying for his latest actuarial exam #whoo hoo
I skipped THREE runs this week #lame
Dylan is sleeping better #whoo hoo
I am catching up on blogging and DVRed shows and considering a twitter addiction instead of sleeping #lame ? #whoo hoo ?
Christmas is my absolute favorite time of the year #whoo hoo
Stores don’t consider my good cheer currency for buying gifts #lame
I’m in love with my new brown boots #whoo hoo
If I don’t start running more again, no one will want to see me in them #lame
This could get addictive!
Too cute Heather! Good luck with your trim down plan. I myself will just stick with the wine for now #woohoo and get my chubbier for drinking it tush back to finding my blogging mojo that I have lost #lame because my kids are so flipping funny #woohoo but also total train wrecks when it comes to picking up #lame so I spend all my time whining and doing laundry #lame.
XOXO
Oh my gosh!! I share so many of the so called #lame ideas! I have not run in a month- which is funny because prior to that I ran a 1/2 marathon. I find a lame excuse every time- even when I get on the scale and see the numbers going up, or I feel my favorite jeans being a little too snug. (ok, who I am kidding- WAY too snug!). Thanks for being you–as always–and sharing the reality of being us.
Fun! I will give it a try.
Did some Christmas shopping on Friday evening #WooHoo
Realized after this weekend I need to take half of it back #lame
Getting ready for the long Thanksgiving weekend #WooHoo
Spending it with the in-laws #lame
Love your hashtag week in review.
Here’s a couple of mine:
I worked out for the first time in 6 months #WooHoo
I haven’t worked out since #Lame
Ha! I love #hashtags too as you already know! #booyah!
A few thoughts for you:
1) Keep on drinking now through the holiday season. You will be a much happier Mommy. #Woo Hoo (and #booyah)
2) Stop drinking wine now? #Lame
3) You can just run more after the holidays to counteract the wine weight. #Woo Hoo
I’m in
I have serious house organizing momentum #WooHoo.
My husband doesn’t #lame.
I want to run another race (first 5k done in September) #WooHoo.
I’m too busy to start training #lame.
I have two amazing children #WooHoo.
The younger one is trying to give up her naps #lame.
The older one is being mistress Mary quite contrary #lame.
I’m tech savvy #WooHoo.
My dad believes I know everything about the iPhone, which is totally #lame because I don’t do Apple products (too long a story to get into!)
I dream about going to sleep and waking up the next day, 20 lbs lighter. I hate exercise. And diets. #lame
I was nominated for best design blog at TheBump.com #WooHoo
I’m like your billionth follower. You are so popular.
New follower, glad I found you on MBC, follow me back when you get a sec.

I hardly ever think to use hashtags in twitter, but then I’m hardly ever on twitter. Bravo for coming to terms with your addiction. 😉
oh, i LOVE this! i am so, so very new to twitter that i don’t even know what the hashtag is all about, but i still love this! my version? hmm- i have a million and one ideas for posts (#woohoo) but am so behind on ’em (#lame)
BabyFirstTV LOVES your blog posts! We find them funny, insightful and most importantly, entertaining to Moms like us! We have been following your blog now for awhile…keep up the great work blogging!
I always check in to see your blogs no matter how few or many they are in between! I had no idea what a #hashtag was…haven’t gotten on board with the whole twitter thing yet…interesting though!
Let’s see if I get this:
Put up my Christmas decorations yesturday. # WooHoo
It was my only day off all weekend. #Lame
Oh, what fun!
I tend to think in hashtags anymore. LOL
My husband and I had a kid-free night Saturday and got to have a date night. #woohoo
We ended up going to a party thrown by one of his co-workers and I was the only mom there. And the only female over 30. Possibly only one over 25. So, I just felt old. #lame
I love this. I’m guilty of thinking in hashtags, too!
My husband is coming home from his weekend in Chicago tonight #WooHoo
Sadly, I woke up feeling like crap this morning #lame
Lol! This is great, Heather. Serious yet light-hearted. I love it! Oh the wine! I will definitely be drinking my fair share this holiday season. #woohoo Oh, and the holiday shopping, let’s hear a big #woohoo for that! Remember to focus on the positives and #woohoos and not so much on the negatives and #lames!!
I try not to ever discuss weight or working out, but here goes:
I had a dream that all of my friends were working out and having a great time while I was sitting by myself eating a bunch of food. #lame
So I decided to do the P90x just for fun, and do some running on the treadmill #woohoo
I have not done either. #lame
Today I’m wearing one of my adorable new lacy bras. #woohoo
But the bra is rubbing against a fat roll when I sit down, making it very uncomfortable. #lame
:o)
Getting ready to take my 5 and 3 year old boys for flu shots to prevent the flu, but will probably end up catching something else at the doctor’s office #lame
It’s foggy and drizzly here today so I have to go to the doctor’s office with an afro (or large hat if I can find one). #lame
It’s a short week for parent-teacher conferences at my kid’s school #woohoo
Great post! Just what I needed for a Monday!!
Wine: it’s what’s for dinner. #woohoo
I am so there with you! Balancing Bloggy Land and reality is tough. I often feel like I have too lives taht are in constant conflict.
I would gladly join you in th ewine as I contemplate both the highs and lows of the upcoming holidays! AARGH!
Traci
I’m finally catching up on all my fave blog reading! #woohoo
I’ve forgotten all the blogs that I liked cuz I’m too lazy to remember to subscribe. #lame
I promised myself to get back on the work-out track!#woohoo
Woke up too late to get on the ellipitcial (again) this morning. #lame
I told my daughter I’m NOT driving her to school anymore when the school bus stops at the end of our street! #woohoo
This morning I drove my daughter to school. #lame
Love this contradiction bw #woohoo & #lame – brilliant post!
This is a great post! #woohoo
We’re trying to conceive our third child. #woohoo
My father-in-law told me, “So I heard all about your period.” #lame
LOVE IT #woohoo! I am a big fan of the woo hoo and I am sooo distracted lately as well with #lame and #woohoo in my life as well. OMG – my lst would go on and on and on, maybe I need a glass of wine!
Such a cute post idea! Completely relate to the hashtag problem. Let’s see, #lame is the lack of time I seem to have as each day continues. #Wohoo would be the work from home job I was lucky enough to come across combined with more contract work coming in. As a stay at home mom of nearly five years, it is kind of refreshing to regain this aspect of my life! Also, #wohoo for my son turning five next week but #lame.. also for turning five! Where did my baby go??
Fun post! #woohoo
I only disagree with wine being hashtagged as #lame. It’s a total #woohoo. You deserve it, mama! #woohoo
Haha, I don’t know a thing about twitter but this was a cute post and it definitely made me smile. woohoo!
Love this idea – how fun!
-Committed 6 weeks ago to working out regularly – have failed miserably #lame
-iPhone4 rocks #woohoo
-crack pie baking hubby rocks – #woohoo
-eating too much crack pie feels yucky – #lame
My baby girl finally got teeth. #woohoo
I am now concerned that my nipples will look live even more chewed up gummy bears. #lame
I qualify for a discount for an HTC EVO with Sprint! #woo hoo
It’ll take a miracle for “Santa” to get me one as I’m sure he’ll want one as well. #lame
I am looking forward to Thanksgiving dinner. #woo hoo
I am not looking forward to the 20+ people coming to eat my food. #lame
I love this post!! Really, my whole life is a series of #WooHoo and #Lame moments. And now? I can hash tag my inner dialogue.
So today:
I woke up on time and worked out. #WooHoo
I ate three cookies after lunch. #Lame
There’s more, of course, but I don’t want to fill up your comment section!
Good for you for getting back to the treadmill. I relate to that feeling – the feeling of This is going to take forever. I, too, have drowned my sorrows a time or two.
I know you can do it! Keep running, mama!
It seems like everyone is having a hard time balancing this lately! I know I am!!!
My #WooHoo moment is one that I’m keeping secret for now. But it’s a really good thing. 😉
My #lame moment is that I can’t get rid of this freaking cough and I’m worried that it’s turning into something more serious.
Teehee! I loved the hashtags! I’m still learning how to use twitter and I really don’t understand hashtags but all the woo-hoo’s and lames made my day. I could have written a remarkably similar post, actually.
Why is it that for every #WooHoo, there is an accompany #Lame??
In my life, I want more #WooHoo and less #Lame!
Ok, so I’m FINALLY getting to catch up on some blog reading! #whoohoo
The end of my semester is quickly approaching & I have TONS to do, but not quite yet so I can’t get a head start. #lame

I missed the Virtua Woman’s Symposium with Rachel Ray this weekend, because of my dumb mouth pain-which I found out I need surgery for. #lame

What a fun post Heather!
I wrote a post about the people in my head yesterday that I loved! #woohoo!
