Do you want more people to read your blog? Would you like to have a popular website? Well, here’s a suggestion:
My beautician informed me that the best blogs are the ones that keep it real. The ones whose writers are not afraid to spill the beans, dish the dirt, speak the truth. The bloggers who don’t pretend that their lives are perfect. Or pretend that their friends, husbands, children, and dogs are perfect.
And, in case you doubt the authority of my hairdresser, she is wise. Because there are few people in the universe who have the knowledge and wisdom necessary to properly tame my unruly tresses.
Without her the world would be a much, much uglier place.
Let’s all pause for a moment to contemplate her genius.
And now, in an attempt to follow her sage advise, and to increase the popularity of my blog, I thought I’d air my dirty laundry. Here it is:
Yep. And there’s more:
Also, I have a pot problem.
I mean, I have a problem with pots. Ceramic pots, that is. My house is overrun with them. They multiply like bunnies. Or Legos. There’s at least 25 more not pictured.
25!
Because not only have my kids brought home the occasional pot they made at school, but at least three kids have taken a semester long ceramics class. My oldest son even took Ceramics 2.
I know.
And my kids don’t just make pots. See what else you can find in this picture.
Did you spot the pyramid, the medicine balls, the wedding jar, and the fortune cookie?
We also have an aardvark:
And an alligator (or is it a crocodile?):
Then, we have these (creepy) guys.
And scary masks.
But one of my favorite pieces is this Zen Garden.
When I asked my son about the crack in the bowl, he said it was so the rising sun could shine through it onto the garden.
Personally, I think it’s leaking all it’s Zen. At least, that’s how I feel most of the time.
Which is a shame. Because other than that, my life is absolutely perfect.

Very clever — especially the problem you have with pots. Why don’t you visit my blog — Mariella Morgan’s Blog — and guess what my pet peeve is? Mariella
Start and compelling. You had me at the dirty laundry. The best advice comes from hair dressers and convenience store owners. Ask me a simple question….
Wow, your house has really gone to pot.
I’m not one to judge, Highland Pal, but I’m pretty sure one of those ceramics is a bong. Where exactly did you say your kids took those classes?
DaNae,
Now I’ll have to take the tall pot down from the fireplace mantle. No wonder the neighbors kept looking at me funny when they saw it.
Just kidding. The ceramic whose reputation is in question is a 6″ Cylinder. That’s what the teacher called it, anyway.
(Unless you were talking about the aardvark…)
Annie,
That’s exactly what I was thinking.
You’re absolutely right… I think you’re irretrievably potty.
Wow you have alot of pot indeed……and I am glad you don’t have the picture perfect life…..you’d have nothing left to live fo………and we all want to hear/see more dirty laundry. So spill it girl…..give us the Dirt!!!
