I'm pretty excited this week because my little blog is starting to gain some ground. It started yesterday when I was at a child's birthday party. I was hanging out with a group of moms and one of them spoke up and said, "You guys need to read this blog I just found. It's hilarious. It's called People I Want to Punch or something like that."
I said, "It's called People I Want to Punch in the Throat."
She said, "Yes! That's it! It's so funny."
"Thanks," I said. "I write it."
"YOU do??" She was shocked. You can tell she's someone who never thought I was funny in real life. That's OK, I get that a lot. I take a while to warm up in person.
This was the first time I've ever heard a stranger talking about ANYTHING I've ever written (positive or negative) and I was pretty pleased. I even blushed. (I hate being so damn pale!)
Then today, I was looking at my blog stats (I'm a tad obsessed with those suckers) and I noticed I was getting a lot of traffic from Annette FunnyJello's blog. I had not had a chance to read Annette's post yesterday so I didn't realize that she'd told her followers that she'd like to invite me to a picnic and be BFFs - read the post, it's really funny.
This is the first time I've ever been mentioned on anyone's blog, so I'm really psyched about that too.
I feel a little bit like Sally Field right now. I know, I know. I'm an idiot. I'm a conceited idiot who likes to be validated by strangers. I own it. You can punch me for it. I'm OK with that. When I started this blog a couple of months ago I was sure that only my mother and the Hubs would read it. I knew my mom would like it (what DOESN'T she like that I do?) and I figured the Hubs would give "constructive criticism" and we'd end up fighting (NOOO, I don't want to punch Julian Schnabel. I don't care that he's an ugly whore!)
OK, now I gotta get back to work and punch someone - NOT punching people isn't very fun!
