Blog Envy

It had to happen. I read someone else�s online journal the other day and began to fret because he was funnier and his life seemed ever so much more fabulous than mine. His pages were prettier, his wit sharper and his journal got more hits too. I experienced pangs of jealousy.

Then this particular journalist began to tear apart other online journals for being�well exactly what my journal is�sort of my daily postcard to you

I�m boring.

I realize I live in Kansas. I knit and have kids. My boyfriend goes to bed early. My other boyfriend is content to spend long hours by himself. I�m past 30. How fabulous can I be?

So I read on. Turns out this person maybe clever, but the humor is based on cynicism, cruelty and his personal misery. The fabulous journal adventures get repetitive after a few weeks; House music, drugs, tricks, bitching. Things I outgrew 10 years ago.

I wasn�t so jealous after that.

And besides, I have 2 hot boyfriends and they BOTH have jobs. So take that, ya hyper-critical bitch.

Alternative School

Miss Becky started the alternative school today. (She wore the new black velvet birthday jeans and a red peasant blouse, since you asked. Looked lovely) I asked her if she was nervous and she gave me �the look�. It�s a second chance for Miss Becky. Let�s hope she makes the most of it.
