Marie's Blog - Welcome to My Blog!

maries-blog-hdr.jpg

Hello Internet! My name is Marie and this is my blog.

I was watching Julie & Julia the other day -- you know, the movie about that woman who does all those Julia Child recipes and writes a blog about it? And at the end, her blog is so successful that it gets turned into a book, and then, obviously, a movie with Meryl Streep!

(I loved her in Mamma Mia, by the way. Oh my god. Or, OMG as they say here on the Internet. I have the soundtrack and I listen to it all the time in the car, as long as my big lug Hank isn't on board. Let's just say he has an allergic reaction to "Dancing Queen.")

Where was I? Oh, right, that writer whose blog turned into a movie. Well, I don't know if this blog will turn into a movie, but if it does, I call dibs on Courtney Cox. I realize most people like Jennifer Aniston more, but I was always a Monica girl.

Of course, the funny thing is that my sister Skyler is really the wordsmith in the family. She's always sending off short stories to magazines you've never heard of, with titles like "The Poughkeepsie Quarterly" or "The Review of Boring Stories Where Nothing Ever Happens." OK, I made that last one up, but I've flipped through a copy or two over at Skyler's house, and wow, at least you can swat flies with it. Everybody sitting around drinking coffee, getting depressed and you can't even tell who's talking half the time. Would it kill them to run a little Nicholas Sparks now and then?

Anyway, the point is: How hard can it be to blog? (Is that right? Does one "blog"? Or would you say "write a blog"?) Blog doesn't even seem like a real word. It sounds like a drunk person trying to say "by the log." Where did you last see your keys, Hank? "Inna backyard. B'log."

It happened. I'm not even kidding.

You are so much fun to watch and you add that random humor to the show. Are you finally finished with your therepist, Dave? So, no more stealing baby gifts or high heels ( I loved that scene!). I can't wait to see how you plan to break bad in season 3!

Hey Marie, I've got a bone to pick with you. During that Home video of you and Hank, Yeah that one, "Good Cop - Bad Cop". You got Hank all worked up and then left him hanging, more to the point hand cuffed in a very vulnerable position, whats up with that? That, that's just not right...Aaaack

Hey Marie, if only you were single.
I hope Hank doesn't read your blog because I don't want to cross paths with him.

P.S. Can you steal me a Schraderbrau T-Shirt ?

Welcome to our world, Marie!!
(Or, should I say; the writers for her character...we love the spunk ya'll have given her!)
I'm looking forward to giving you sh!t, like we give your Hubby...and, knowing that you'll give it right back at us! (And, THEN some!!) Ha ha ha!
Dammit!! Unfortunately, since the only thing available in my area is crappy dial-up, I've not been able to view the video that R.W. is talking about!
Will just have to use my imagination, as to what it's all about...
Eek! That could make it twice as dangerous! LOL! ;)

BTW, your definition of the word "Blog", was hilarious...LOL!!

However, being full of crap myself, and, using it within context of its true meaning: It is derived from the sound of vomiting, particularly after reading a boring passage of someone's online journal.

If it were to be pronounced & thusly spelled "Blogrrrgghh!"; then we can assume it was from the over-consumption of alcoholic beverages.
The addition of the trilling "rrrrr" sound comes from the passage of mass quantities of beer and/or whiskey, plus the bits & pieces of food particles passing backwards over the vocal cords. (Strumming them, so to speak...)
Finally, the "gghh" signifies the splash of stomach contents hitting either; the ground, or perhaps, the toilet water & surrounding areas.
This last sound is usually an alert to some unfortunate wife, letting her know whether to assist or, hand the mop to her careless hubby...

Ha ha ha!! How grosss & juuusst kidding!

Oh, Marie...you are most definitely the flippant "black sheep" of the family, demanding attention anywhere you can get it.....but your humor is hilarious in this series! The theory of birth order does prove to be true.

As for R.W.....he is jealous of Hank and likes bondage....right R.W.?????? LOL LOL... Just kidding R.W!
