Why?

One thing that really creeps me out:  when people post on their blogs about how it was their anniversary and so they sent the tots over to their parent's house and went to a hotel less than thirty minutes from their home and then they post a photo of the bed in the hotel room.  That's it.

** Just so ya' know, I have nothing against hotel room photos when they are included in a travel blog post simply to show where you stayed.  In fact, I have probably done this myself and I am pretty sure I have chosen a hotel based on somebody else's blog post recommending it.  The aforementioned creepy posts have the sole, not-so-subtle "you know what happened here" quality to them that gives me the heebie jeebies.

  2. I'm pretty sure I'm going to go stalk your blog friends' blogs now, just to see what could have possibly possessed them to post that!

  3. Haha, I know Nikki. Actually, I have run across a couple of these posts before, but I was blog-hopping this morning and stumbled onto another one. As far as I know, none of my blogging buddies has done this. Yet. :)

  4. That creeps me out too, Amy. I'm a little surprised you've seen more than one of these. I've never seen any.

  5. That is gross. Hopefully now fewer people will do it now that you blogged about it.

  6. Ok since I know you were on my blog today and I'm sure I've been guilty of this, I will explain my reasoning :) (At least the picture part. Hopefully I've never been guilty of using the "huh-huh-huh look where the magic is happening" tone.) When I stay in a nice hotel room, I always want to take a pic of the room to remember that at least once in awhile I get to go to nice place. I try to take a pic of the room, not the bed, but the room as a whole. But inevitably what happens because I have a basic camera and can't zoom out far enough is it ends up looking like a pic of mostly the bed. LOL! I always have a mental debate when I post all the pics, but as I turn our blog into our picture albums and I'd be too lazy to add it later, I usually throw it up there for all the world to see.

  7. That's funny Bethany, but I promise you that I was not thinking of your blog when I wrote this. You write awesome blog posts. It was some completely random blog I was on and I completely understand showing off an awesome place that you stayed. And I love your description of where "the magic happens." That's hilarious.

  8. I always think the same thing. Once I saw a blog where the girl had decorated their bedroom like a Hawaiian retreat and it was awkward looking at the pictures of all the candles and piles of sand surrounding their bed. I think she even said something about "where the magic happened," not in those terms, but you know what I mean.

    I, too, was blog hopping and have no idea who this girl was, other than a friend of my sister-in-law.
