Blom (noun): A blogging mom
He wants me to put it out there and see if it catches on.
Wait a minute...now that I think about it...sometimes Dad is not supportive. Like when he called me and told me that FOX News was doing a piece on mom bloggers (this was before he coined blom) and all the crazy stuff they post. He told me that in the news clip they showed this ridiculous mom wearing a step-stool.
I totally flipped out. It had to be me, right? I mean how many other bloms are running around wearing step-stools. I was torn between feeling like a fool for looking like a crazy woman on the news and being proud that I made it on the news looking like a crazy woman.
Then slowly, I realized that...he...was...laughing at me. "Damn it, Dad! That's not nice! Don't mess with a blom...we've got too much to do and not enough patience for these shannanigans."
Anyway, I think he may have hit on something with 'blom.' Just start throwing it out there in casual conversation:
"Yeah, I'm a blom."
"You know, bloms are the coolest thing right now."
"Blogging dads are so passe. It's all about the bloms!"
And don't forget to use it on your blog too:
"So, today I was chatting with some other bloms."
"Calling all bloms!"
You will be so
this blom thinks you are the blom bomb! :)

Bloms are Da Bomb!
ReplyDeleteHahaha! Your dad is funny! I'd say you are one cool blom, too.
ReplyDeleteHi, just stopping by from SITS. This is great!I hope you will stop by and read excerpts for my book, Abby's Between Girlfriends: A Sharing of Marital Secrets. Tell your friends to stop by...
ReplyDeleteI like it! It's cute!
ReplyDelete...and a good Blom would be a Blom Bomb!
Somehow in Feb I missed seeing you dressed up like a robot. I am sooo glad you posted that link! That's pretty awesome (that you would do it and share it). Your dad is funny. Blom -I love it!
ReplyDeleteThat's too funny! You had me going that you were on tv. :)
ReplyDeleteProud to be a blom!
Blom! I like the word.
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of that scene in Never Been Kissed where all the kids were trying to spread the word "rufus" around.
Hope it catches on for you dad's sake. I guess that's why I started blogging was to keep my family updated on our life. I think my parents are living thru me.
ReplyDeleteIts definitely catchy! Your dad sounds like FUN!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I'm totally a Blom. I've also coined a phrase. I'm blogged down instead of saying I'm bogged down. It's when you havne't caught up on your blog reading, posting & responses. What do you think?
ReplyDeleteBlom...I love it. Maybe you should form a group? In all your free time that you have....ha!
