Okay, nobody is allowed to criticize my friends on my blog. I would defend any of you to everyone else ... Lesley is NOT paranoid, she is a perfectly normal person (well, as normal as I am, anyway) and she is a contemplative person. Her question at book group didn't come from some creepy feeling that people are watching her, it came from the fact that she was thinking about how it would be to be portrayed on a blog through someone else's eyes. (At least I think I'm right on that. Correct me if I'm wrong, Lesley.)
She is friendly, funny, smart, skinny, and she has 2 adorable children, a husband, and a regular life.
So there you go, Lesley. How does it feel?
I am seriously gonna sew today. Seriously. **Honest.**
Have a good Monday everyone.
PS -- Last night was West Wing, Desperate Housewives, and Grey's Anatomy. Ahhhhhh. I love appointment television.
Mom, wife, daughter, sister, friend. Scrapbooker, family historian, reader, cook, photographer. Volunteer. Political junkie. Springsteen fan. Loves deeply, strives daily to be a cheerful, kind and generous person. Fails regularly. Snarky, judgy and more than a little blunt. Some people don't appreciate my style. If you're one of them, that's ok. Get your own blog.
Lesley has a life and we are part of it, or at least when she reads my next not-very-engaging-bookclub-book.
ReplyDeleteJennifer, you are doing a great job with your blog, and I personally enjoy the fact that it brings the bookclub together. Maybe we should seriously think about doing a group blog?
Thanks for coming to my defense. You "get me." You know I wasn't picking on you.... I am fascinated with your blog, your words. So brave to put yourself out there! It's wonderful and I thought, as a serious work of literature, that we should discuss your blog. It's timely. It's relevent. It's the future of communication. (And Damn it feels good to be in someone's blog - uncensored!)
ReplyDeleteI am glad that Lesley feels comfortable with it. I was under the impression that she attacking your blog. My bad. And since I don't know here, I shouldn't have said anything. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteAnd, she is correct. This is the future of communication. :) Hope the sewing goes better.
