I've been reading the Dooce again. I'm up to November, 2005. Part of me feels wretchedly ill about this soul-sucking, time wasting activity and part of me is just so happy that she wrote so many blogs.
But this, this is the worst: The picture I posted of my dog a few days ago? I totally confused that dog, who is DOLLY, with my dog ZEKE.
Dolly is a mostly poodle mix. Zeke is a Yorkie. They look just alike, don't they?
Hello? Can you hear my brain? It's sizzling.
Thankfully, I can still find my way to Publix, buy groceries, come home and cook them.
Today.
Tomorrow may be a different story.
Stay tuned.
Your writing is every bit as good as that dooce Heather person's. You just need to make it a web site with your own domain name (or maybe you don't) and start putting ads on it. What exactly does she have other than a domain name and ads that you don't? You could just start with google adsense. So do the wedding and then do the site.
ReplyDeleteThen you won't obsess about her and hate her so much. ;)
Oh, no, Ms. Lo- I LOVE Heather Armstrong. Her blog is like the best soap opera ever.
ReplyDeleteAnd here's what she has that I don't (besides a lot of other things like a really good camera and the knowledge and skill to use it)- tens of thousands of readers. I'm serious.
I have maybe tens and tens of readers.
I could possibly make 47 cents a day with ads. Possibly.
But I'm not bitching. I love my little blog world. I love that people visit it from all over the world. Like Mexico.
Speaking of which, when are you coming to the actual land of Bless Our Hearts?
That I do not know. I still feel like I'm straddling the Gulf. I need to decide to BE here while I'm here but Ikeep getting pulled into the "back to the motel" thing. Acck.
ReplyDeleteThose pups need a shower and a shave, I would say.
ReplyDeleteI met up with the to-be-weds last night. I told them they have to write their own vows, and I steered them away from cheesy rose giving ceremonies. (J said, "You already have roses everywhere!")
The cute Yorkie is not your dog? I feel betrayed, hurt, empty, abandoned, angry, used. Could you possibly seize the Yorkie and make him yours? I'm sure the poodle is cute, too, but it's like the animals from the SPCA shown on the noon news on Friday - by the time the SPCA volunteer gets back to the shelter after the broadcast, there is ususally someone waiting there to adopt the animal that was on TV. I've seen the Yorkie, I like the Yorkie. I'm not so sure about the poodle...
ReplyDeleteI tell you what, Son, that wedding ceremony could get WAY crazy if you let La Luna Rose have her way with it. She's so sentimental and romantic, you know? I'm glad she has your feet-on-the-ground perspective because otherwise...
ReplyDeleteI think these damn wedding shows on the TV have set up an impossible new standard of what a wedding is supposed to be.
Don't get me started....
It's going to be beautiful and moving and touching and that's what I'm looking forward to.
And MOB- no, the Yorkie is mine too. Well, the family's. The man and I are thinking of buying one of the kids a house just so they'll take that Yorkie. He's okay. But he's a mess, too.
Let's face it- four dogs are at LEAST three too many.
Oh and Lopo- we're here when you get here. I wish I knew what to tell you- clone yourself?
ReplyDeleteWhat an impossible situation.
Yeah, I was working hard to get them (well, her) to balance all the romantic little ceremonial bits she wants with what will actually work. I'm glad she's off the unity candle idea, for instance, because those never work right.
ReplyDeleteThe Unity Candle? Oh God. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteRight? Also, I'm trying to steer them away from any mention of possessing each other.
ReplyDeleteVery good idea. "Possession" is not a word I'd think would be appropriate in 2008 at a wedding. Unless you're talking about a situation where you need a priest. This could happen.
ReplyDeleteI agree wholeheartedly. I think it's going to be really beautiful in the end.
