Okay.
This is a post about my husband.
As you may realize, I rarely blog about my husband. Why? Well, when I bitch about him online, I tend to bitch about him all day in real life, too. It’s damaging to our relationship, so I keep him out of my blog most of the time. That is the God’s truth and I am totally cool with it.
And normally, he likes it that way.
But lately, he seems to be wanting to weasel his way into my blog.
Last week, he fixed something with a screwdriver, and said, “Wouldn’t this make a great blog post?”
“Um, not really. It’s not that interesting.” I said. “Besides, I don’t blog about you.”
2 days ago, during his Captain Fat Ass phase (he calls himself CFA when he feels a little doughy – it’s not my name for him), he decided he was going to see how many days he could go without eating meat. “You should blog about me not eating meat for 6 days.”
“Ok, so what would I WRITE? I see the scintillating post now:
Hey, bloggy peeps. My husband isn’t eating meat. It’s annoying, because I’ve spent the last three freaking years learning how to cook meats other than ground beef. Because my husband’s motto is meat with every meal. Now he’s grumpy that I put bacon in my herb pasta. The end.
Besides, I told you I try to keep you out of my blog.”
Literally, it’s getting to the point that if he trims his ear hairs, changes the batteries on the remote or cooks pizza on the grill, he thinks it’s blog fodder.
Have I mentioned that he does not read my blog? So he doesn’t really get my vibe. He doesn’t know that I am not one of those bloggers that posts the play-by-play of my mundane life. I prefer to blog about shitty underwear, bloggers that don’t love me and super epic rainbow cakes.
Why is he suddenly interested in being on my blog, readers? Am I neglecting him? Does he feel left out? Is this a cry for help? Is he a closet fame whore? Why?
I do hope he feels better when I tell him today that I blogged about him, and the topics he’s suggested. See, he usually ends up getting his way.

LOL! Perhaps he just want to be “shown off” a bit to your readers
Mine prefer to be left off my blog.

I think it’s a man thing. My dad comes up with, um, interesting blog post ideas, too. Sorry guys, not on my blog!
Miel Abeille´s last [type] ..Help! I’m drowning in a pile of laundry!
you did the right thing girl, you gave him his time and space on your blog. Next time he says something you can say “ya, I already hit on that one” “Got it covered Babe” “Oh, my girls already know U The MAN”…

Not eating meat for 6 days? That’s almost a whole week. Tell me more.

I cooked him vegetarian meals for 6 days. Not an easy feat in this house…I’m a native Chicagoan. We like our meat.
This post reminds me of the song, “You’re so vain, you probably think this song is about you.” Nicely done
Justine´s last [type] ..What I have learned so far
I’m not sure but I’m leaning on the answer “He wants your attention” and I hope your husband can comment in this post
yikes.
never thought of it that way.
guess I better not have the laptop in bed with us tonight.
I am having a similar situation here. My husband wants to be on the blog only if he looks cool and is doing cool things.

My husband has reservations about me writing about our lives but at the same time has said ” you never write anything about me”. He keeps cutting out the meat too…maybe it’s a symtom of anemia.
Motpg´s last [type] ..Just Me
Have your husband start his own blog. That way the people who can’t get enough of him trimming his ear hairs or using a screwdriver will have what they’ve been clamoring for.
Sooner or later, he’ll eventually find this comment, lol!
Himself doesn’t ask to get attention, he knows damn well that he ends up in the blog.
But he READS. Every post, so…well, there is editing.
yes, there is!
Lori @ In Pursuit of Martha Points´s last [type] ..There’s a smudge on your face
Well, maybe if you bitch about him on your blog, he’ll start reading it? Oh, maybe not…but I am interested how CFA will do without his meat.
Ha ha – sounds like he’s in need of a little wife braggin. But if he doesn’t read it, you can always tell him you blogged about him. (just kidding)
Miss Welcome´s last [type] ..Judgement And Panic
No meat for six days? I feel for you all. We tried that a few years back, and it did not go over well in our house. Bacon is like the fifth food group around here!
Booyah’s Momma´s last [type] ..Love
Give him what he wants! Start a new weekly topic called – Things My Dumb Ass Famewhore Hubby Did – he should love it and you might even get a show out of it.. ala.. Bllep My Dad Says
Holly B´s last [type] ..Spermacial – Porn Stars Secrets To That Youthful Glow
Holly could be onto something here… just sayin. Men are pretty quirky creatures. And dang if I could get hubs to not think about meat for 6 days… I’d be all over that blog post.
alicia´s last [type] ..Making Modifications
That is too funny!
McKenzie´s last [type] ..Do you have Sunday Smiles
There, now you’ve included every topic HE thought would be relevant and funny to your readers. He can enjoy his 5 minutes of fame….or start his own blog. Can you imagine?!
Sherri´s last [type] ..Summertime Then and Now
next thing you know he will want a weekly feature that HE writes and start following you around with a camera. And take credit for your awesome writing and all the awesome comments. Oh wait…
oh my goodness – he totally is! he’s jealous of the blog and is wanting some fame of his own!
liz´s last [type] ..What&8217s in a Name
MacGyver is the same way. I do sometimes blog about him because really? When he does attempt to fix something with a screwdriver, it turns into a comedy of errors so funny I can’t help but not share it.
CFA (which is also short for Chick-Fil-A and now I want waffle fries, thanks so much) probably just wants to feel involved. Suggest he start his own blog. I find that generally cures them of trying to get into ours
Jenn´s last [type] .. plan crib-til-college didnt pan out
You should start an alternate “all husband, all the time” blog…and then lament about your lack of traffic to him.
Yuliya´s last [type] ..Russian traditions demystified
HAHA!!! That is priceless!!!
Yeah, he’s a fame whore. That’s why I won’t let my dad or certain friends know I blog.
“Sara, I just said the greatest thing with the guys today… Wouldn’t that just make the best blog post?”
“No, Dad, ‘pull my finger’ is NOT blog post material.”
Sara @ Tedious Life´s last [type] ..Me Learn Social Networking
My mother always wants to me write posts about her interest in Facebook. Har de har har.
WFW!!! My husband is the SAME WAY! I just read this post to him and he’s totally down with your hubs. He also never reads my blog yet wants to be all up in my bloggy grill. The eff? They’re just jealous because they know we love our blogs more than we love them..
I want no one “in my bloggy grill.”
I love that phrase. May I steal it?
My husband went through this phase. That’s how I ended up with an unasked for guest blog from him.
His guest post was extremely well received. It leads him to now say “Hmmm….maybe I need to guest post again.” anytime anything pisses him off.
He also somehow weasled his way into having his own feature every Saturday. That has somewhat shut him up, so I continue the trend.
KLZ´s last [type] ..Mishap Week- Locked Out
Fixed something with a screwdriver? That IS blogworthy! While men of our husband’s (and our) generaation might be financial or technological mensa candidates, when it comes to handywork around the house, it usually comes down to one word. Outsource.
so true. Do you remember our front door handle? lift it up to open the door instead of down? Yep. That’s husband’s handiwork
Famewhore luv it! Why is it men just can’t let us have our moment in peace, they just need to be involved. LOL!
I lovelovelove this post. And yes, you’re husband is a fame-whore. That’s the reason. I kind of refuse to blog about my husband too. Not the place. Especially since his whole family reads it. AND he pretends to read it, but not really, you know?
My hubby is secretly reading my blog and then disagreeing with the way that I say things went down. Or that I make him out to be an asshole. And he is also turning into a fame whore…he even calls me from work sometimes with “ideas” for my blog!

I guess I should have blogged about when my husband successfully installed our new kitchen faucet. Can’t believe I missed the boat on that one!
Mungee’s Ma´s last [type] ..One Year Letter
My husband once suggested that I write about how awesome he is in bed.
He was kidding.
I mean about writing that on my blog.
Joey @ Big Teeth & Clouds´s last [type] ..Just getting started
This made me laugh so hard that I actually invited my husband to read it again over my shoulder. He laughed…then he said he wasn’t sure if he wants to be on my blog now. Ha! I made a slightly sarcastic mention of him in a post last week….he’s scared.
Just wonderful and very, very clever. Although I bet when you tell him you blogged about him and used all his ideas you won’t tell him the exact way in which you transcribed them
I can’t believe he would think you would be the sort of person to write about him grilling pizza or the like – unless of course the IRL you is totally different which I somehow doubt 
Aging Mommy´s last [type] ..You Capture Outside- At The Beach
Aw he feels left out of the spotlight! poor man! hahaha
Maybe I should blog about my husbands excessive weight or nose hair trimmings. God knows it couldn’t hurt our viewing numbers
um, this is your husband posting.
don’t look at the IP.
no really :p
He SO just wants in on the action you’re getting. Bloggy Action. At it’s finest.

Poppy´s last [type] ..Project Purse and Boots – Unplugged
Just recently my husband was trying to think of a name I could use to refer to him on my blog. He was jealous that the kids had psuedo names and he wanted in. Name is still to be determined. He’s only read 1-2 posts and it’s because I made him.
That was a truly fascinating preview. Was it turkey or beef bacon? Unfortunately there are some women out there who say, “that’s a great idea,” when told to blog about their husbands short-lived vegetarianism. I try to avoid these blogs.
it was good old pig bacon, dammit.
Yeah, he must be feeling neglected and is trying to get in the spotlight again
Funny thing is, my husband does that too, something will happen and he’ll say “you should blog about that”…it takes so much effort NOT to roll my eyes and say” don’t you know me at all?” Anyway, I’m sure your hubby is ecstatic to have his very own post today! BTW, is he all better?
