Holy cow! How can this happen? Not once, but twice! I could not believe that it was not about me.

I got to spend a wonderful day with one of my best girlfriends recently. She was taking a carriage driving lesson, so I tagged along and played the part of a pretty useless helper. Well, I wasn’t totally useless… at least I’m not directionally challenged and got us to where the lessons were being held.

I have this friend. She’ll even admit were friends. I tell her she’s sweet, she tells me otherwise. I don’t believe her. She is sweet, I don’t care what she says. The amazing part about this relationship, is we met years ago when, compared to today, the Internet was still an infant. We met through an e-mail list that delivers info daily to us. Anyway, I blurted out not too long ago that I couldn’t believe we had known each other for over 10 years. Her response was classic… “Oh, you’re still here? I didn’t run you off?” We both laughed. Now we’re pretty tight. We’ve only met face-to-face once. It was great. I wished we lived closer. Anyway, this is my shameless plug for my friend. She does absolutely AWESOME Web work. And what’s really tops is her ability to provide you with a kick-ass Web site that YOU can maintain without even knowing HTML. She simply rocks… anyway… if you need a Web site, look her up… www.officeelf.com. She even helped me get this blog up and running. She’s the best. Really.
See? It’s not always about me! Sometime it’s about my friends.

Just when you thought it was all about me, it isn’t. And I quote,
“Gosh, Donna, I am soooooo upset. Because I was absolutely dead certain that it was all about meeeeeee!
You crack me up.”

I think sooner or later folks will see the beauty in blogging. I’ve resisted it for years. I think it’s possible to blog without getting totally personal, but it’s still personal because I’m talking and you’re listening. Remember… it’s all about me. I don’t know that this post will be totally about me, but I’ll see if I can’t spin it that way.
I have a girlfriend who decided to remodel her house. When she discovered that it was going to be extensive, she bought another house to live in while her current house was getting fixed up. Problem was, when she bought the new house, it needed remodeling BEFORE she could move into it. So now she is stuck living in the old house while she’s waiting on the new house to get remodeled. It’s really quite a saga. I told her she should blog about it. This was her reply…
“Can’t do a blog on the house because
1. Too depressing
2. Same ol’ shit, day after day
3. Too busy doing it to write about it
Was in meetings from 6:30 until 10 last night — all bad news, another meeting today, and spent time unsuccessfully trying to track down/stalk architect to get him to come over.
It sucks to live it, would double suck to read about it.
But YOU, on the other hand, are a constant delight!
(I think you need to have the popcorn in the chicken recipe online!)”
See? I knew there was a spin in there somewhere to make it all about me!
