I think Sister is right…lack of sleep has dulled my descriptive abilities. So I’m headed for the bed in just a second.
But I did want to quickly tell you what a goob I am. GOOB. GOOOOOOOOB.
My oldest friend in the world, Laura, called tonight to run some menu ideas past me for a little soiree’ she’s having this weekend. She told me that she was thinking about doing pork tenderloin but what sides should she do and yes, she loves sweet potatoes but her hubby, not so much, and we were essentially just shooting the foodie breeze.
So when we happened upon the subject of salads, she mentioned that her husband likes spinach salad, and I said….
I said….
I said, “Oh! There’s a recipe for that on my website.
On my WHAT?
On my WEBSITE.
Like I’m Google or something.
Like I’m some food “consultant” who provides all pertinent client information and price quotes on a custom-designed webpage.
Like I’ve taken the words “BooMama” and crafted them into a straightforward yet symbolic logo, something that will grow my brand and look great on my new line of herbs that come in tins and my special seasoning blends that come in a bottle with my picture on the label. You know me – I’m all about the merchandising.
I immediately died laughing and said, “DID YOU HEAR WHAT I JUST SAID?” We were very tickled.
Because a more accurate sentence would have been, “Oh! There’s a recipe for that on the Blogger McTemplate where I bore the living fire out of my tens of readers with vague descriptions, mixed metaphors, and lame puns. Stop by! You’ll feel a detached ambivalence about everything you read!”
After I got off of the phone, I told David what I said, and he shook his head and replied, “You. Are such a nerd.”
I am, y’all. I really am.
But thanks for stopping by “my website” anyway. I hope all the fancy graphics and interactive features aren’t too much of a distraction from all the astoundingly average writing.
boomama,
I’m a fan, nevermind the fancy graphics, custom templates or the Technorati rankings. After all, you can backtrack with the pros now!! :)
As I told another blogger friend yesterday, it’s not the high-tech stuff that keeps me coming back, it’s the genuine-ness and the real you that shines through your writing. If a blog has all the bells and whistles, but they have about as much personality as a lug nut, don’t look for me on their sitemeter. You know how often I visit……You probably think I’m stalking you! :)
Keep up the good work, boomama, I’ll be here, visiting your WEBSITE. ;)
Blogger McTemplate! Too funny! If you can keep me entranced reading about a reality show I don’t even watch, you gotta be at least a little better than average! ;-)
I Love the Boomama Website!
Well, I must say that I am very thankful for the “Blogger McTemplate” because I just clicked on the recipe and made my ingredient list! On the other hand, perhaps you could parlay this website into a line of “BooMama”– as Jody asked last night, “Could she just cook the food and FedEx it to you?” :-)
Oh, I second that emotion!
A line of BooMama “Gourmet To Go” food, plus merchandise/home decor items that would include “stunt pillows”…:)
BooMama, it’s time for you to come to terms with the fact that you do indeed have a website. And, yes, you are a goob. But in a really wonderful way, of course.
As for those “stunt” pillows, I will require some sort of “cut” in exchange for the release of trademark to the BooMama line of home decor.
Will the stunt pillows come with detailed instructions and graphics? That is totally necessary if I were to order them, you know. ;)
No doubt about it, Daph – you and J. have the trademark on the stunt pillows phrase. Bubba took it one step further and coined the throw at the end of my bed a stunt blanket, so we could really do a whole line of stunt accessories (pillows, throws, slipcovers, etc.). And I imagine that between Daphne’s two boys, Elise’s three boys, my one boy, etc., we could come up with a wide variety of stunts to be performed. With graphics and instructions, of course.
And Addie and Diane, thanks for the kind words. :-)
You are very welcome. I wouldn’t have said it if I hadn’t truly meant it. :)
