This morning, whilst perusing my blogroll, I stopped over at The Pioneer Woman's place and remembered that she had earlier Tweeted about some sort of cathartic exercise she highly recommended. I read, I laughed, and then I thought to myself that if I tried anything like that with my family, they'd have me committed, instantly!
Seeing as how I already live in an insane asylum, I considered the fact that an involuntary commitment might net me some time to relax. I left a comment on her site, (which I rarely do because lets face it, Ree gets eleventy billion comments a day, and now there's a film being made based on her blog and her [upcoming] book that chronicles her transition from city girl to country wife with none other than Reese Witherspoon being considered for the part of Ree herself. Um- I love Reese, but c'mon, this is a role perfect for Sandra Bullock or Julianne Moore!...OK what was I saying?) saying something to same effect.
I'm not the brightest bulb in the box and after spying my flip camera on the counter, I decided to start a conversation with Gaby about what we were doing today, namely cleaning her bedroom. Gaby's reply opened up the chance for me to try out Ree's suggestion. Oh and you really MUST go read PW's cathartic exercise post before watching the video. Go ahead, I'll wait.
This is what happens when I take free advice given over the interwebs!
So, what have we learned from our cathartic little exercise today? Two things.
1.) My 4 year old thinks I am a joke, wonders if I'm OK, and then pulls her own Jack Nicholson 'tude on me!
2.) When you want a wake-up call as to how much of a nobody you are in the blogosphere, just go read The Pioneer Woman, or even Dooce. Books...movies, HGTV gigs. Kinda makes me feel like a tadpole in the ocean that is Bloggywood. However, I can at least name almost everyone who reads this blog. Ree or Heather being able to pull that off would be monumental and damned near impossible!
