the following experience might become ugly. You see, I've been catching up on my blog reading. As you might notice, my sister Jennie's blog, "My Life is a Sitcom", is the number 1 choice on my blogroll. I used to be number 1 on hers too, but moments ago, I discovered that I've fallen from #1 to #15--that's right--FIFTEEN! That's a hard one to swallow.
If I were Elaine, I might do any number of things: suck up in various ways to move up the heirarchy, break up with her, do a totally embarrassing dance. But I am going to be a bigger person than that. I am going to take a harsh look at myself, accepting the consequences for being an infrequent blogger. I am going to realize that my life is boring, and my daily activities are simply not that funny or entertaining. I am going to acknowledge that after all our years of being related, she might still harbor ill-will for me because I cut all the animals off the mobile hanging over her crib in a fit of 3 year old rebellion. I am NOT going to take offense that this might be revenge for telling her that she "has the same ugly nose as me" in high school. I am going to post multiple, highly-entertaining posts today to show her what she's missing. Neener, neener, neener. 8-P
See, look at the integrity I can muster for myself if I only try. Look at how I look to our forefathers, like Abraham Lincoln and Jerry Seinfeld, for inspiration and guidance. Look how I can yearn for all of you to be more like me in every way--good, and hardworking, and slow to take offense. If you want someone to truly lead you--look no further than Becky Clawson. Give me Liberty or Give Me Death! Ask not what you can do for your country... Plop, plop, fizz, fizz, oh, what a relief it is. Becky Clawson for President!!!
O'er the Land of the Free...and the Home of the Brave.

Becky, Becky, Becky...how could you doubt my loyalty? Even after you did do all those things to me, I have always loved you more than you love me. (You forgot to mention the time you told me you only loved me because I lived far away -- that if I lived near you, you would not love me as much.) Don't you know that my blog tour is sorted according to most recent posting? Even now, as of this writing, YOU are at the top of the list. Oh ye of little faith. But I take great pleasure that it was my blog that spurred you to post, even if the last paragraph of this post seems a little drug induced! By the way, the word spread like wild fire through my house this afternoon..."Aunt Becky posted! Aunt Becky posted! Did you see?" It was a time of great rejoicing. I think this should be a post on my blog, I'm going to copy and paste right away!
ReplyDeleteI just noticed I'm number six on your blogroll. Out of seven.
ReplyDeleteIs something wrong with my nose?
Jen--You totally crack me up!!!
ReplyDeleteOh dear, Heidi. I was hoping you wouldn't ask...heehee. Because you and Jen are the only 2 of 3 that ever read this, I'll happily move you up the list. But don't tell, I can't be doing this for everyone. :)
ReplyDeleteHEY! I read this daily also!
ReplyDeleteOh, and by the way, this is Jonah. Everything about my blog is new!
