My older sister was outraged that I used a curse word in my previous post. She, and I do see her point, thought that it was unnecessary. Okay - she wasn't outraged at all - but it sounds better to say she was.

Anyway, thanks to my friend James, I now believe I have legal precedence for using such language. Or maybe not. She's still older than me by 18 months so I guess I better do as I'm told. Okay, you got me there too. I've never been a "do as your told" kind of person so I'll have to come up with some other excuse.

This is why your family shouldn't read your blog on a regular basis. Not that mine does - she only read it today because I sent her the URL. Otherwise, they all think I'm whacked. Even my husband Kevin thinks it's a little out there. We were driving somewhere the other day and he turns to me and says "I'm thinking of starting a blog of my own." I thought - this is great. Before I get any further, he adds: "It's called the Get A Life blog. And it will have one post - and only one post: 'If you're reading this you need to stop and get a life.' What do you think?"

I didn't laugh at the time but thinking about it now, and maybe you had to be there, but it was pretty funny.
