Hello. Welcome to the {Insert Inventive
Title Here} Blog!
When trying to think of a “creative”
name for this blog, I had an epiphany. I'll just call it the {Insert
Creative Title Here Blog}! Because I am so creative and original!
Apparently not. Because that name was
already taken. As was {Insert Awesome Title} and {Insert Clever Title}.
So then I pondered, what is a synonym
for creative? After deep thought and deliberation (aka a thesaurus
check) I decided it would be much more clever to call my blog {Insert
Inventive Title Here}. Because being inventive is so much better than being creative!
So, I am starting a blog here. It is
supposed to be a humorous blog, the only problem is, I'm not funny,
but hopefully this will be. As Forrest Gump (didn't) say, “I am not
a funny man. But I know what humor is.” (Okay, make incorrect quote
from a '90's movie. Check! This blog is off to an awesome start).
Hubs (code name for my husband until if/when I think of something
more awesome) is a stand up comedian.
No. No he's not.
But, he is like the mushroom that
walked into a bar, and the bartender said, 'We don't serve your kind
here.' then the mushroom replied, 'Why not? I'm a fungi?' So
yes, my husband is a 'fun guy', no he's not a fungus, because I know
you needed an explanation.
Anyway. . . perhaps some of his
hilarity will rub off on me, or at least this blog, after he rewrites looks it over. The stories I tell will be true albeit
perhaps slight exaggerations. And my children are like, superheros,
so they need secret identities. Okay, I just don't like the idea of
anyone with internet access being able to see pictures of my kids, so
there will be none of those. And I'll be creating pseudonyms for them
for further protection, because I am a paranoid parent, and because
they are so adorable and amazing the mere mention of their names will cause
you to track me down and abduct them right out of their beds while
they sleep.
Now, what are my hopes, dreams, and
aspirations for this blog. I hope to make you laugh, or at least
smile. You being the reader, whomever you are. Whoever? When do you
use whom? What was I talking about . . . ?
I hope you will share this with your
friends, your family, your co-workers, perfect strangers (Hey Chick-fil-a cashier, you should read {Insert Inventive Title} Blog!) and the blog will get many hits, and I'll be able to make
some sweet, sweet moo-la. Or at least enough that I can quit my
part-time job. My full-time job is being a mother. I am a child-care
provider part-time. Actually, I am a babysitter. And I think I get paid
less than thirteen-yea-old girls with the same job. What is the going rate for babysitters now-a-days?
So, I invite you to sit back, relax,
and keep your hands and arms inside the ride at all times.
It probably will get bumpy.
And stay
tuned, my next post will be titled, “Puppy.” (leave the reader
wanting more, Check!)
Hello there! I'm glad to know I am not the only 'non-funny' person who wishes she were funny! I'm not great at staying up on blogs lately, but I do hope to be able to pop in every once in awhile and get a good laugh!
ReplyDeleteI hope I can provide a good laugh for you. Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it!
DeleteMwahahaha! This is going to be fun! :) Speaking of babysitting, been there done that. It is rough. Now I am paying the sitter, and though it is wonderful in the sense that my children are adored and cared for superiorly, it is often rough on my pocketbook. I have been told I pay too much, but I guess I think of what I wish I got paid, and then divide it by 35 and round down. It's still a fairly good rate I think.
ReplyDeleteI made your keyboard laugh! Then you made me laugh about how much you pay babysitters. Thanks for checking me out, I feel honored by your presence.
DeleteI just read post #4 and went back and re-read the other three. You are funny, you make me laugh (so does your husband). Looking forward to all of your {Insert Inventive Title} Blogs!
