Why Aren't You Blogging About Books?

Last week I talked about the boys. They sit around me. One of the other main characters in my days at work is the Old Lady. In the past the OL and I were on the same team. Now we do not sit near each other. We are of the same generation. She makes me laugh. She laughs at my jokes. We have seen each other through some tough things in life. She is a calm in the storm. A rock. She has great sayings like, To have a friend you must be a friend." Old Lady loves, Dancing With The Stars, Prince Poppycock and reality TV. She might love cough medicine a bit too much but that is another story. She also loves blogs. Maybe a little too much.

Old Lady, might be blurring fantasy with reality. At this point I do not think any of you need to worry about restraining orders. (At this point.) Today she mentioned a family reunion would be nice.She means with the fans and the bloggers. Now there are a couple of problems with that statement. First, the obvious, we are not all family. Many of us have some type of tie with Tru Stories. She is the common denominator. My second point is, reunion implies we have all met at least once. Old Lady is not in this alone. Easy Rider is in on the planning. Old Lady has taken the time to scrutinize all the pictures on all the blogs. If she does not know who someone is, she makes it her business to find out. OL loves this stuff. This is one big reality TV show for her. Easy Rider is still trying to find herself. That keeps her busy. She does not have as much time to obsess on blogs. OL knows who she is. She is a woman with time on her hands. Time for blogs.

Old Lady has a thing for Munchkin. I think she would like to adopt her. She worries when Munchkin does not blog for awhile. She was very proud when Munchkin graduated. She probably fancies them Soul Sisters of different generations. OL is short in stature. There was a time in her life she partied hard. Most importantly, they both share a passion for pharmacies.

OL is also a big fan of Flag Girls. She has seen pictures of Flag Girl and you have to love Flag Girl's sweet face. Old Lady has met Tru Story and her family. She has even been at Tru Stories house. That takes away some of the magic. She would love it if there was daily Tink talk in Tru Stories blog.

For whatever reason, I know it is OCH and her cast of characters Old Lady really wants to meet. She needs to have a conversation with not just the immediate family but even the people that comment. It would help her put faces with blog names.

I know a secret about OL. Well, I know many secrets about OL. Here is one I can share on the blog. Old Lady fancies herself an expert wedding cake cutter. She would also like to be a bridesmaid. What does this mean? This winter at the BIG dance, Old Lady and Easy Rider's dreams could come true. Tru Stories better print extra tickets. Then again, there the softball game is only a few weeks away! Maybe I should make a plea to the boys to come show their stuff on the softball field. OL and her gang could be #1 Fans.
Now you can think about restraining orders.

You made us sound creepy. A blog family tree would suffice.
and PS I'm still not a fan of Easy Rider, Boots would be more appropriate and it's shorter, perfect for precious blog space..think about it ;)

I'm a wee bit confused.

Yes, I have to agree, I do think 'boots' is a better name, just one word name...like I could just be OLD.....(that made me laugh) and like 'boots' said, as we talked today, just a nice family tree would suffice. and maybe a face with the names would help also, just in case we should meet them on the street....OL

Old, you know you want to come and cut the cake at the pretend wedding in January.
Why would anyone want to be called Boots?
How about the softball game? Mark, Saturday, October 2nd on your calendar. Nice day in the park.

Flag Girl said...

OLD...I will be a bride in a very tainted Wedding Dress in January, and would love for you to be my bridesmaid!
Page Turner...I hope your men come to the softball game!
And Really....Who doesn't have a thing for Munchkin??!!

Easy Rider & old lady- we don't get to pick our nicknames. the one time someone self nicknamed we got 'The Hoff'... enough said.
I agree Flag girl, everyone loves some Munchkin!

Tru Stories said...

How come...
Everyone doesn't
'love some Tru Stories'?
'Want daily Tru Stories talk'?
'want to adopt Tru Stories'?
'thinks Tru Stories is sweet'?

Tru Stories is more than just the reporter to Tink Talk and the Scene Setter to Coach's awesomeness. Sometimes, Tru Stories is her own awesome person.
It is sad to just be the author to my wonderful (blah, blah) family.

Dont worry Tru, we all still love to see pics of the babies from you.
And Flag Girl---I humbly accept your invite to be your bridesmaid at your wedding. Since its going to be in the winter, I hope its ok if I wear my kneesocks under my dress...I get cold...

Munchkin said...

Did anyone else forsee the hostile comment from Tru Stories after only reading about two paragraphs of the post?

Old Lady, we need to meet. I picture it much like the first time I met Page Turner. I very much liked this post as I want to be famous someday and this helps me be famous in my own head.

Tink is cute. Coach is awesome. But who's that woman that's always hanging around them?

We can have a Munchkin fan club at the Relay Dance. I can't wait. Old Lady, we will have a slumber party at my house after the festivities. Anyone from the farm that comes, will have a place to stay at my house.
