What? You say there's no link there? Hmmm. Let me examine the problem. AHA! There is no link there because Jennifer does not HAVE a new blog. Which is a tragedy, really, because even if it's only for the enjoyment of a few select people, it's the modern way to show-and-tell pictures and stories of your yarn and your kids and/or pets to your out-of-town friends. I bet James and Melia would love to see a blog from Jennifer. How about Jennifer's sisters? I bet they'd like to see pictures of little Bailey Boo and hear about Jennifer's knitting-and-spinning adventures. How about Cathy, and that one slutface girl? I bet they'd like to read a Jennifer blog.My detective work reveals that the main obstacle to Jennifer's blog-starting is that she can't think of a new name for it. I understand - I picked a crappy, "top card" name for my blog because I didn't think I'd stick with it, and then the ol' center-of-attention thing kicked in and I can hardly leave it alone. So that gives us not one, but TWO contests:
1. Come up with a really good blog name for Jennifer. (Her blog will likely feature knitting and spinning, updates on her kid and, I would guess, various rants on the topic of Common Sense - see, we've peaked Maxim's interest already.)
2. Think of a much better name than I already have for MY blog. (This is not as urgent as a name for Jennifer's blog, though. It's all about Jennifer today.)
You can submit your suggestions in the comments or email me at Cry954@gmail.com. The winner(s) may name a non-secksyoouhl prize (unless Dug is the winner) of his or her choice, as long as I can afford it.
Off topic here, but I was talking to Dug in the car this morning, and I caught myself referring to a common, everyday thing as A-MAY-ZING. Ack! I can't believe I did that! I said "a-MAAAY-zing," you know, how GIRLS say that all the time, when they are uncreative and cannot come up with original, non-trite ways to describe things? Ugh! It was awful! It was like hearing someone else talking out of MY mouth. I feel sick. My vocabulary has already been partially infiltrated by "awesome"; there is no room for any more of this sort of thing. ("Thut's like ossUUUUUUUM.") Okay, I'm going to go read the thesaurus now. Geezis.

What about "wicked"? Is that part of your affliction?
I keep trying to come up with a spinning name based on the whole spinning in their grave expression, but so far, no go. Maybe listing the titles of a few other spinning / knitting blogs would help give us some inspiration?
Have you considered co-authoring a blog rather than each having one?
That would be WHICKED, but my meager accomplishments would quickly be overshadowed by Jennifer's A-MAY-ZING Knitting and Bailey's adorableness.
mmm....hello, McFly? Not only did you MAKE the yarn for blugly but MADE blugly the cardi to wear. I made a hat for Doug and granted it was an A-MAY-ZING hat, I still had to buy the yarn for it.
Yeah, but you like were better at knitting on your first day than I was after 10 years of knitting. Your learning curve is not as curvy as mine. :)
Okay, I know nothing about spinning and knitting...so forgive me if it's not the right vernacular, but what about "Tales from a Hooker" as a blog name?
Oh, and Carey - sorry if I'm the cause of your increased use of the word "Awesome." I do say that alot, mostly because "Rad" and "Gnarly" just don't seem to exemplify the fervor of awesomeness that I'm trying to communicate. That is so bogus.
