I’m Not Really Here
January 25th, 2010
Oy. Things have been a little crazy around here the past few days, so I haven’t done any writing besides the occasional “HELP ME!” sign I put up in the window whenever I see the sheriff drive by. I should be back again later this week, but if you’re in desperate need of some entertainment, please click over to The Debutante Ball where they graciously posted one of my essays this week. (Note: The essay also includes a photograph of me taken while under considerable duress during my recent Funship cruise. You’ve been warned.)
Once you’ve clicked over to The Debutante Ball, be sure to take a look around at the group of amazing authors who contribute, including the fabulous, funny Sarah Pekkanen whose debut novel “The Opposite of Me” hits bookstores very soon. (Yay, Sarah!)
Things are also a little jumbled up right now because my blog is undergoing a bit of a nip/tuck, as you may have noticed from the cool new header. Nothing too radical, of course; www.wendiaarons.com just wants to look well rested for its annual golf vacation in Boca with the girls. I mean, it’s not easy competing with all of those hot younger blogs. They’re just so damn perky.
Anyway, with some rest, some relaxation, and some obscene quantities of Girl Scout cookies, I’ll be back to my grueling schedule of posting once a week before you know it. But for right now, I’ve really got to get going.
The sheriff’s driving around the corner and I need to get my sign ready.

I like the new look. Although you could have included a mini photo of me in the corner. Or centered.

Went over and saw the picture. You’re hot, even with an umbrella stuck in your ear.

I caught your post at Deb’s Ball the other day. It was terrific. Reminded me of being young and reckless, which used to be cute. Now that I’m just reckless, it’s more tragic and sad than cute.

Loved the story about your humble beginnings. Somehow though, I never pictured you as an innocent looking perky blond. When I clicked over, I thought for sure there would be a semi or a Navy ship in the background. Just sayin’.

Hey! They’re ALL gems and I’ll kick the bahookie of anyone who says otherwise!
So there.

Love the essay, and the pic.
You, rock, girl!
I’d open a bottle of wine for you, anytime!

Caught the essay via Twitter, had to throw that in there. Laughed out loud (spelled out to prove I did it) of course and loved the funship flair of the humbrella.

remove one, please, it scolded me for psoting too quickly and politely suggested I slow down. I did note the jazzy top by the way, even before you mentioned it. It’s Boca all the way.

Oh my gosh. You’re so cute and blond. You look just like – Oh damn. What’s her name? I’ll think of it and come back.

Thanks for the kind shout-out – we loved having you, umbrella and all. But no more Funship cruises for you.

Your new look is awesome!
Hope you are enjoying your Girl Scout cookies!!

Love the story–funny stuff. Has anyone told you that you look a little like Renee Zellwegger? I hope the sheriff stops in and sets you free.

Love the new look!
