Happy Birthday You Big Waste Of Time!

My Blog Birthday or Blog-iversary passed without any fanfare at all.

Well except that drunken night I spent at home with Logan recalling all 'those really funny things I said' over the last year. Then he bought me a pinata and we beat the hell out of it.

I would point you back to my old site with the original posting from the actual birth of my blog at some point toward the end of April...but my God I thought I was entertaining and I wasn't. So let's not relive it.

In honor of my Blog-iversary I thought I'd talk about things I decided long ago I wouldn't talk about:

Today I woke up at 8am and the kids were ready to go. And we had breakfast. And then we got dressed. And then we went to the market. Then we had lunch and then it was 'rest time' and then, OMG! You should have seen this cute thing the cat did. Oh my God...have I mentioned how this motherhood thing totally wears me out and makes me question who I am? LOL!

Wait a minute, this is essentially what I do write. (Though, this is the very first time I've posted a picture of those animals) (Seriously, doesn't that cat look kind of retarded in that picture? That's what he looks like all the time, I mean it).

A year.

Here's hoping I continue to feel ambivalent and angst ridden and full of stories about my life as a mother.

On the other hand, wouldn't it be swell if all I can talk about in this next year of blogging is how fucking HAPPY I am! Here's hoping next year I'm talking about all the free time I have and how I just don't know what to do with myself and also, here's hoping in this next year of blogging all I can do is yap yap yap about all this money I just don't know what to do with! I can't spend it fast enough! Also, maybe this is the year I start saying how I can't believe how small my ass is and I just can't even keep my pants on me..I'm just so skinny!

Won't that be a fun blog? I'll re-title it, "You Wish You Were Me"

Maybe next year I'll have more girls jumping on trampolines and more late night drunken postings where I profess my love for Jilbur and Mrs Kennedy and Alice and oh God, Julia.

Wait, I think I just did that part. Let's just say I plan to make that a more regular occurrence.

Happy Birthday.....you silly little waste of time, you.

I am totally happy you have a blog and that I found it! Happy happy! blogiversary or whatever. You rule. Have a drink for me, screw your therapist. I mean, don't actually screw your therapist, well, unless you want to that is. I really just want you to have a drink since I shouldn't and you deserve one. :-)

[grace]

I'm happy I found your blog too! I'd propose a toast, but umm... it's only 9am. So in your blog's honor, I'll go HAVE some toast.

[Coralie]

Happy happy birthday!

Complete with clapping and sung to the tune that they use in those terrible restaurant chains, ala 'Red Robin'.

Best wishes for the coming year.

(Oh yeah, and you should definately use LOL more)Totally. LOL.

[jilbur]

You know I have a total crush on you, too, dontcha? huh? And I'm not even drunk right now! At least I hope not, because it's just past 9AM and I'm at work ... but hey, whatta they gonna do, fire me? Thursday's my last day anyway!

And, I have one acquaintance here at work with this weird birth defect that renders her incapable of sending email without at least one 'lol' in it ... don't know how I'm gonna soldier on without her.

Nicely done. You've strung together an entire years worth of witty pearls of wisdom. Blog-on with your bad self.

[alyssa]

i still want to audition for: Best Friend in Florida.

love the blog, love you. love it all.

and i am just so damned happy right now too, that i might go and puke.

I like your blog! although i've only started reading it recently.

[Julia]

Hey! What do you mean, oh God Julia? Do you mean you love me best of all, or do you mean you love me in spite of what everyone might think but you still want to cover yourself? No, no, don't respond - I have already picked an answer for you.

Happy Blogday to you. Did you know that I found your blog because somebody called me on the phone and told me to read you right away? Huh? How do you like them pickles?

You're practically The New York Times. Dot com.

[pinky]

Happy blogiversary - here's to many more.

Julia: The 'Oh God' implies the last but not least positioning of your name in my drunken list. I may not have any meaning at all. More of a drunken exclamation of nothing.

Jilbur: LOL!

Those Claiming They Can't Drink Before 9am: Oprah and I have bad news for you. According to the alcoholism specialist on her show, you have a problem with drinking if you have "little rules" about drinking. Apparently, if it's a God Damn free for all and you drink all day when ever and where ever you feel like it, then you don't have a problem.

However, if you come up with rules like, 'Not at 9am' or 'Not while I'm working.' then that is for sure a problem. Sorry and Cheers!

Big Waste of Time? I think what you mean is Entertaining Diversion For Those Who Should Be Working. It also provides me with childhood information that The Friendly Fireman doesn't talk about and it makes me want to hug him for what a good man he turned out to be. That last statement will probably make Alyssa puke again but I know you'll understand what I mean. I Heart Your Blog. I'd like a t-shirt that says that.

[Julia]

Nope. You love me best of all.

I told you I had already picked an answer. Jeez.

[Michelle]

It's been a great year....well, a great few years, actually, since we go way back. Way, way back. Snaps for Melissa for putting it ALL out there for the entire internet world to read - the good, the bad, the pants and the poop. Keep it going, and we'll keep on reading.

LOL. (threw that in there JUST for YOU)

Happy Birthday, 3 days late! Will your blog ever forgive me? I've been so busy over here with the sex parties; you know how it is.

Let's get ourselves on some trampolines *right now* while we profess our love for each other. Wait, was that what you were suggesting?

[nicole]

Happy Blogiversary!

Your blog makes me happy!!
