Update On the Big Blog Debate
Well, Mom read the "Selections From" that I printed off for her all in one sitting and thought they were hysterical. As predicted, she especially liked the ones where I threw Dad under the bus. And she's gonna read it again because, apparently, it's hard to fit all that funny into her brain at once. So, yeah, she liked it!
And now, I'm seriously considering doing The Mature Thing -- giving Mom the link, warning her and letting her decide whether or not to make my freaky, smarmy, curmudgeony blog part of her daily life.
Unless someone talks me out of it.
Okay, this "daily life" thing just made me think of something. Along with step-daughters and E.R. frequent flyer miles, I also inherited a few aging aunts when I married Husband. Technically, they belong to his ex, but they're my family now, too -- just go with it.
Well, apparently, one of them thinks I need more churchin'. (A shock to no one.) For Christmas, she got me a subscription to the "Daily Word" magazine, which is, like, daily Jesus-Loves-You and What-Would-Jesus-Do affirmations. I would totally mock her, if she weren't so darned sincere and well-meaning. And rich.
Anyhoo, now I totally want to publish a book like "Daily Word FOR THE DAMNED" or something. And I totally call dibbies on this concept, if it isn't already out there, which I'm sure it is, but you still can't take my title.
