And this is how I repay you!

If you are one of the five people who regularly read this blog, I'd like to say "thank you." If you are one of the two people who think I'm even slightly funny or entertaining, you also have my deepest gratitude. My "friends" (and I use that term lightly) in college used to point out that I was not indeed as funny as I thought myself to be. And now? Now I can point to at least two people who think I am. And that is my great achievement in life thus far.

I'll be honest- I don't spend a lot of time reading blogs online. There are only a handful that I check on a regular basis. And do you know what? I find myself disappointed, and at times irritated when people don't regularly post. Why? Why would people take the time to set up blogs, to write enough to get people to come back, and then disappear for days on end? Why would they leave me with few time-wasting options? I count on them!

Why indeed. Are they out planning weddings? House hunting? Entertaining three consecutive weekends of company? House sitting for friends? Watching DVDs of "You Can Polka in a Weekend"?

Probably. Sorry. And the sad thing is, I still can't Polka.

You expressed my deepest sentiments, exactly! I have visited your site daily for about a week and NOTHING!!! Jennifer, I have been so disappointed and have missed your sharp wit. So glad you're back. You left out singing karaoke on your list!

I think it's high time that Florence started a blog. :-)
Thanks, Jennifer, for giving us a new post. Hopefully I've added to your previous knowledge of how many people read your blog.

Thanks, girls. I've missed blogging and will make an extra effort in all the busyness. And Florence- have you EVER heard ME karaoke? I'm leaving that to Jon!

I thought you actually sang a tune at your kick_____ birthday party?! The memory that is still seared in my head is Danyvid singing "Bette Davis Eyes"!! You must have been playing poker!

No, No, Nanette! I don't have any interest in having my own blog. My life really isn't that exciting. I'd rather live vicariously through other people!

Polka? Is that what they do up in Minnesota?
Do you have to learn it?

If so, then THEY have to learn to say "fixin' to"... ya hear?
