I had this really great idea for a blog post. Really. It was great. It was so great that it would have had you lol-ing, rotfl-ing, haha-ing, hehhehheh-ing, and maybe hohoho-ing, even though it’s not Christmas.
But then, I checked my email. And I had a message from a friend who wanted me to join her on her private plane for the weekend in the Bahamas.
Or maybe it was an email reminding me to schedule a parent/teacher conference. I can’t remember.
And then, I would have written that spectacular post, except I spent three hours at the gym, because I believe in the importance of working out, especially before trips to the Bahamas.
Or, I might have taken a nap. The details are fuzzy.
So, then, I was definitely going to write that blog post, but I had this free spa gift certificate which expired soon. I had to go.
Or, I might have just taken a shower, now that I think about it.
And then, I absolutely, positively was going to write that funny, funny blog post, when my husband invited me for a night out on the town. Which would include a movie, dinner, and chocolate for dessert.
Or, maybe we went to his basketball game. And then he said, “I hate basketball,” which was odd, because that’s usually what I say.
Finally, I sat down at the computer to type up that blog post when I realized that Mary’s Glob of Blog was back, and I would much rather read her blog than write my own; in fact, I’d much rather read everyone else’s blog than write my own, which is (coincidentally) why I spend so much time reading everyone else’s blog rather than writing on my own.
Plus, I needed to read all 67,000 of Mary’s “welcome back” comments. And, I spent 10 minutes staring at her comment box, because I really wanted to leave a comment and be the person to make her do the 67,001 push up, but I couldn’t think of anything to say, except “welcome back” which had already been said 67,000 times, so I didn’t want to say it again, even though I owed her a comment, seeing how she was one of the first people to comment on my blog who wasn’t related to me. (Although relatives’ comments count, too, and I’m not just saying that because my sister has awarded me the “Top Commentator” on her blog, and she doesn’t give out that honor lightly.)
So, finally, I wrote this blog post, which probably won’t make you lol or rotfl. (Although who rolls on the floor laughing, anyway? The only person I know who rolls on the floor is my dog, who doesn’t laugh while he rolls, at least not out loud, and isn’t a person–in the eyes of the law, anyway).
But if I’m lucky, maybe while you read this blog post you’ll chuckle or chortle, or maybe the corners of your mouth will turn up ever so slightly.
And maybe you’ll call this one of the best, not so bad, sort of okayish blog posts you’ve ever read.
I can live with that. Especially from the Bahamas.
Watch out..you keep on putting things off and you’ll end up in a convenience store like me. And that’s not a place you want to be my Highlands friend.
15% of chewing gum for you and your readers at my store. Just mention the unrealized best blog post in the world.
Dogs are people too.
You are so random!!
Hope you’re enjoying the Bahamas. Or the basketball game. Or P/T conferences.
I chuckled and chortled. But not on the floor.
Just popped over from Mormon Mommy Bloggers.
I’ll be back.
I had the exact same experience in Mary’s comment box. How many times do you think the word “China” appeared in her comments?
YES that was funny —-and so what if I roll on the floor while I laugh, and pretty much do everything else, while rolling on the floor. It’s therputic.
How was the spa —or shower??
While it may not have been the best blog post ever, the comment by “12 year old” had to be one of the best comments ever
I know i make the best comments!
