Oh, I know her more than she realizes!

I sent an email to some friends, asking if THEY had blogs. You will probably think: "if they are your friends, shouldn't you know? Yes, good point (is that you asking or that voice...moving on) I know of a few, but am aware that some may be more private or I may be oblivious (yeah, that never happens!)

So, here is the exchange I had with my sister:

SOK, I finally fell for it: I started a blog Which got me thinking: who else do I know has one? On the above list, I only know of Kathy's. Do any of the rest of you have one? What is the url? Stacey

I don't even know what a blog is. And I'm not sure I want to know.

It is an online 'diary' of sorts; you post random thoughts, jokes, etc.

I thought it was something like that.

No, I don't have one. I really don't care to let people know what I'm thinking. And if I want to know what they are thinking, I will call them and ask. Otherwise, I don't care. :)

Good point! Heck, sometimes, I'll call and ask and still not care! Pretending you care is a requirement of society, isn't it?

OH MY GOD, you really DO understand me. :)

Oh yes, dearest sister, I know you, and many people quite well. Pretending that you don't releases you from so many expectations and responsibility, though. ;) Do not underestimate the power of feigned ignorance!

Which all reminds me of the cartoon at right:

Where can I get a steak at 4 a.m.??

Why do I want a steak? Well, I have been cleaning (yes, I should be sleeping, but my house needs my attention more than my brain, right now). After using my steamer for awhile on the textured wallpaper then moving to the stove, I realized "HEY! My oven is the self-cleaning type! Good thing I chose to do it when it is about 30 degrees out (actually, that was a big factor in my choice, and my dog looks so cute curled up on the rug in front of the stove). So "I smell STEAK!" [Whoa!! No, not the dog....he got out of the way when I turned that thing on. There is a variety of drippings and spatterings all around the oven. I guess I could have used Easy Off, but #1, I don't have any and #2 if that stuff can melt off the residue that has baked onto the inside of your oven for a year, what will it do to brain cells when, not if, inadvertently inhaled? I better not risk it!]

Suffice to say, I had to settle for the Vanilla Chai Tea with soy protein already in the fridge since I happen to be fresh out of steak. I wonder if shots of worchester +shire [tossed in that word](sp?? maybe my brain DOES need my attention) sauce will ease my jones.

I'll say a bit about my first modeling gig in a bit. I think the steamer is cool now, so I can start on the microwave...
