Yours was the first blog I read & the entire reason I ever started reading other blogs.<br /><br />I've never read Purl, but I used to read Dooce. I don't as much anymore because she doesn't feel like a real person with real responsibilities anymore. I want to read blogs by people who are real & that I can relate to.<br /><br />I look forward to reading your blog & your FB updates. You definitely know how to make a person laugh. I love that there is a crazy mom just north of me that I feel like I know even though I've never met you. And, I secretly & stalkerishly hope that someday I'll run into you at Adventure Kingdom or the Jelly Belly Factory & I'll be like, OMG, it's Kristy. And Alexa & Eve will become instant baby friends & then we'll become mom friends.<br /><br />(Okay, I'm really not a stalker, but doesn't it make you feel more famous to have a stalker? I bet Purl doesn't have a stalker in the East Bay?!) <br /><br />PS... please don't delete me from your FB friends. I'm really normal.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370336836254913514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10136851.post-55698193485666396662009-12-04T00:52:52.531-08:002009-12-04T00:52:52.531-08:00You are so not alone.

Not knocking what we ourselves have- it's just.....hmmmm. I think it's our way of evaluating who we are and where we stand in the big picture. Not necessariy a bad thing. It can motivate us to move in a different direction, or cause us to reflect and be satisfied with where we are. Perspective is always a good thing to get in the proper doses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10136851.post-9516704751246406992009-12-03T14:47:49.574-08:002009-12-03T14:47:49.574-08:001.

I'm not sure which is which but I remember being ASTOUNDED at the AWESOME fake ponytail she was rocking in one of them.<br /><br />2. Moonlight & Mistletoe starring Candace Cameron Bure is the BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIE EVER. The foreshadowing of the when-she-was-a-teenager scene, the REALLY realistic "business" scenes, the WAY AT THE VERY LAST MINUTE SHE SAVES CHRISTMAS AND FALLS IN LOVE!??!!?!?<br /><br />OMG. <br /><br />So. Good.<br /><br />I would advise viewers to avoid watching it alone because they're really gonna need someone to roll their eyes at.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07828301839612852615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10136851.post-71150071918039238232009-12-03T11:05:53.670-08:002009-12-03T11:05:53.670-08:00Kristy -

Then found Dooce and [redacted] and Crazy Aunt Purl via YOUR links. I have little in common with any of you, and yet I enjoy entertaining writing so I keep coming back. But you have the best illustrations, hands down. I think you rock. :)Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05291580830314550176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10136851.post-38018673259185040552009-12-03T10:10:01.299-08:002009-12-03T10:10:01.299-08:00Oh just re-read...just read that as "sure we&...Oh just re-read...just read that as "sure we'd be friends in real life."

I read Aunt Purl on and off, and liked her plenty, was sure we'd be friends, but then? I don't know, I'll stop in now and then, but I don't read regularly. In any case, I know exactly what you're getting at, but I won't lie to you, I've never bought a book by a blogger. Would I if it was someone I read regularly? Maybe, but I read Dooce with some regularity and had no interest in her book. <br /><br />BUT when/if you write your Hallmark movie, and when it gets purchased, and when it's playing at the theater or home, I'll be there popcorn in tow. (Ditto for the book too, you know.)<br /><br />And please remember you are not on a timeline for this. Maybe Aunt Purl writes her defining opus at 35, and you do yours at 45, it will be <em>yours</em>. Nothing is stopping you. <br /><br />And also, Peter Falk does not a pretty woman make. At first I thought it was some burn victim.

It's hard sometimes to see people who started blogging a year or two ago getting flown all over the country by potential sponsors and getting writing opportunities.<br /><br />Thing is, I *don'*t blog for a book deal or for traffic numbers or revenue (though some would be nice.) But those stupid jealous feelings are there.
