Talking Trash About merlotmom

Where the f*ck is merlotmom?

I have no idea.  That bitch has the nerve to call herself a blogger?  Sheesh.


I know!  WTF!  So, what d'ya think?  Should we trash her blog while she's away?

Nah!  Can't hate on her just 'cause she's a flake.  I hear she's been spending her free time working on a novel.


So what!  Like the rest of us don't have busy lives?  We work, we write, we care for our kids...who does she think she is?


I did hear she had lunch the other day with this blogger.  Wonder how she had time to do THAT and not THIS.


Now you're getting it...


Although, in her defense, I know her writing workshop is right near where this blogger lives.  She's gotta eat, no?


Why are you defending her?  She ditched us.   She's a bad blogger... a bad blogger.


Jeez, you sound like Rain Man.  Maybe, maybe, it's a generational thing.  You know, I hear she's turning 48 this weekend and when we were at BlogHer this summer she wasn't nearly as interested in texting and twittering as the rest of us.  


Right, I noticed that, she even teased us about it.   She told me they didn't even have computers when she was in college.  Can you imagine?   She said she spent years working as a secretary in NY typing on an IBM Selectric.


IBM Selectric?  What's that?


I don't know exactly.  I think it's one of those ancient typewriters, you know, the black ones with those little round keys on sticks.


Nooo!


Yes.


Wow! She's old.  


And getting older every minute.  Fine.  I'll give her a break.  When we get to be her age, we may have no attention span either.  Scary.


Yeah.  Let's not hate her.  Let's feel bad for her.

Okay.  Well, gotta go.  I've had thirty DMs just since we started talking.   Don't forget to send merlotmom a Happy Birthday tweet.


Will do.  

And all of YOU better, too.  She still deserves your good wishes even though she's old.  Maybe even moreso.   ;)

Give Me The Grateful Life - Monday

Hello everyone.
Yes, it is Monday.
The end of a weekend...
  the beginning of a loooong week.
(At least that's how I'm feeling this morning.)
So let's find something to be grateful about shall we?
  Or I (and possibly you) might just not make it.

1. I am grateful for my sweet husband who busted his ass this weekend (and drove my friends crazy) to make a beautiful birthday celebration for me.
2. I am grateful he bugged my friends instead of me.
3. I am grateful for having so many fantastic friends.
4. I am grateful for having the wisdom of my age (most of the time) but not the appearance of it.
5. I am grateful for Southern California where the mountains and the beach are my gym year-round.

What are you grateful for this Monday?
