Hey, Someone’s Gotta Do It
How great is my gig as a blogger? Consider this: I do it in my oversized T-shirt and sweats while lounging on my bed/desk. And then I banish my husband and kids from my bedroom/office because I am hard at work, and that work might be:
Surveying current events via an exhaustive review of periodical literature
Question: So, is Ashlee Simpson addicted to plastic surgery?
Answer: Maybe, say such respected sources as the 10/23/06 issue of In Touch Weekly.
Exploring the media’s stance on significant domestic policies
Question: So, are Jen and Vince still together?
Answer: "Yes" (said Jen on “Oprah” this past Monday) and "No" (say all the trusted celeb gossip mags).
Studying the pervasive influence of contemporary culture on women’s collective issues of self-esteem
Question: So, why aren’t I as gaga over “Ugly Betty” as I thought I would be?
Answer: Because it’s a way-less-funny version of “The Devil Wears Prada.”
Enhancing linguistic skills through competitive bouts of on-line Scrabble
Question: Why does the computer always find those annoyingly obscure 86-point seven-letter words?
Answer: Because it hasn’t overloaded its hard drive with data on Ashlee, Jen, Vince, and Betty.
Of course, I do occasionally venture forth from my office/bedroom, don clothing that doesn’t double as PJ’s, and go out into the field for a closer examination of some important blog-worthy topic. In fact, right now I’ve gotta run and conduct some highly sensitive hands-on investigative research concerning the contribution of the local consumer to the global economy. Otherwise, those marked down Jimmy Choos are gonna walk right out of the store and into someone else’s closet.

Oh why, oh why didn't I think of
this kind of job?? Born too soon for that M.S. in Blogging!!
Oh, I'm sooo jealous. Besides what do I make/buy for dinner,my other daily issue is what do I wear to work. LOVE your blog!
I am trying to get a hold of Laurie Yarnell. Does anyone know how I might be able to reach her directly?
I want to tell Laurie about a new product from Cozi. I don't want to post any "promotional" information here about the product; I prefer to share it directly with Kristen so she can decide if she wants to write about it.
Thanks for any pointers.
