All the Cool Kids Are Doin' It

I'm so excited! I've been tagged! Only the cool blog kids get tagged, right? Only the cool ones? So this means I'm cool. OK, I was tagged by my sister, Lucy's Mom, but I'm still cool. Shut UP. I will maintain my illusion of coolness to the end. I think all my friends and family bloggers have been tagged and I'm too intimidated to tag anyone but the sweet Nikky, who always leaves comments for me. So, 10 things about me? Let's see here. Let me try to be original because y'all already know a lot of stuff about me if you read my blog regularly. So here we go.

1. I weighed 100 pounds when I went to college. I weigh a little more now. I would like to lose a few pounds. But I think most actresses are painfully, unattractively thin. I would not want to look like that. Honestly.

2. I LOVE room service in hotels. Even when it's not that good, it's good. Because they bring it to your door and you can eat it in bed while watching TV and nobody will judge you. Fabulous.

3. I love musicals. And I know the words to a lot of the songs. I often sing along. You really don't want to be there.

4. I sometimes mispronounce words for which I know the meaning but have only read in a book. It's kind of embarrassing. Armageddon. Enough said.

5. I didn't get my ears pierced until I was 24. And my future husband had to hold my hand. I still have those little silver hoops.

6. Every time I have hot tea I think, why don't I have this more? It's so good. But then I don't.

7. I wish I had treasured my women friends more when I was in college instead of obsessing about dates. But I treasure my women friends now because of that, so maybe it was a good thing.

8. I HATE bananas. But I love banana bread.

9. I hate when a balloon pops. I really don't like balloons for this reason.

10. I used to hate slippers but I like them now. I guess your feet get cold when you turn 50.

Wait. Was that 10? Get. Out. I have so much more to say. Guess I'll make a note of those thoughts and use them for another blog post. Another day, another blog post. And so my exciting life shuffles on.

Why We Share

I wrote kind of a silly, but fun blog post yesterday about breaking my ankle bracelet. And then I was thinking about how I wanted to post that right after it happened. Why we blog. Why we post. Why we share.

This is why we blog. Why we post. Why we share. To make us think about things. To make other people think about things. And then I was wondering, what might people have thought who read that particular blog post?

1. I can't believe she is writing about breaking her ankle bracelet when there are people starving in the world. SHE IS SO SHALLOW.

2. Wow, that exact thing happened to me. It's such a small world.

3. I'm glad someone else is that klutzy. I thought it was just me.

4. Ooooooh, I need an ankle bracelet.

5. Bare legs. Boy, I need to shave mine.

6. Bare feet. Man, I need a pedicure.

7. It's nice that she is so close to her family. I'm glad my family is that close too.

8. It's nice that she is so close to her family. I would give anything to have a family like that.

9. She really loves her husband. I am so very lucky to have mine. I need to go tell him.

10. She really loves her husband. I wish I could find someone to love. This gives me hope.

11. She really loves her husband. Mine died last year. But this makes me appreciate him even more.

12. She really loves her daughter. Maybe I should call Rebecca and apologize. I miss her.

13. If she can write about something like this, maybe I can write too. I think I'll try.

So, what are you thinking?
