Blogging

I am having so much fun blogging. I have made some really terrific blog friends.

I am now getting some from other countries (other than England and Canada that is) and it is very nice to learn their cultures as well.
Two, are from Klang in Malaysia. No coincidence. One clicked me from the other's comment section.
Both are young men and they know English well. One I talk to about our cultures and the other is very funny.
Not saying the one I talk to about our cultures is not funny, he is.

Another lives in Portugal. He seems to want to make friends thru blogging and is also very nice.
He speaks English and Portuguese. As does my husband, and they now converse in Portuguese.

I have several Canadian friends. Heidi for one. Just love her.
Heidi reminds me a bit of Mary Tyler Moore from her throwing her hat in the air days. Or even "That Girl."
Bonn for another, she is very witty and has a very smart two year old.
Seems most people I meet blogging have good senses of humor.

American friends as well. Inspirational, like Lightfeather, who is always kind.
Tells it like it is, is very smart and has a huge heart is Jaded. I love our emails.
Cindy is my blog sister separated at birth. Our pasts are similar in many ways.
There is Anne, who I have a six degrees of separation story with. Although I did rant last night on her blog.
And Hollie the mom, whom I call Pong. She is just the best mother, and very loving.
Sarah, who gives us a safe place to hang, writes beautiful poetry and has a warm loving heart.
Misty and Gina crack me up, and I miss them lately.

New friends too. Others whom I visit daily and have respect for, but don't know well.
I cannot mention them all and I may have left some out. But, it is four in the morning.
It is great fun to learn about people and what makes them tick or laugh.

This kind of post is difficult because when I say something about one person, I want to use a different description for the next person. Then I want to add, not that it is not true of the person above, etc., as I did in the first paragraph. Which would be an endless post. It would be a very short post to just say all the adjectives in one line and then put a list of names below them.

The other reason is that if I say, "some are people I know," is that true? Not to some. Because I only know what they want me to know. Therefore, I don't know them very well, if at all. I know I would be called on this too.

I live in a family that calls everybody on grammatical or speaking errors, almost before the error is mouthed, and most certainly before I can correct myself. It is rather a game with us. Then I hear my children correcting their friend's grammar and I have to tell them, it is impolite to do that. Even the kindergarten teacher got hers. Don't piss off the teacher either! We have certain words we promise not to say. Whatever, the kind with an attitude. Duh, drops the IQ, unless used sarcastically, then it is funny. Actually, duh has been okay of late, since it is funny. Lately, my disdain of the phrase "My bad" has taken on a life of its own. I have never liked it since the first time I heard it. One day last week my daughter used it in front of me for the first time. I said, "Oh no you don't! You will not be using that lame phrase!" She asked why and I told her those are the dumbest words I have heard since anyways. She got it right away. And she may say among her peers, but I seriously doubt she will say it in front of me again.

And I am going back to sleep now, at least I hope I am!

Maybe later when I have my coffee, I will do another post!
