Let’s Be Blog Friends


I wish everyone I knew had an online presence. Once, I absentmindedly found myself thinking that I’d like to post something on Hester‘s Facebook wall. I can’t do that. Do you know why? Because Hester is a cat. Although, if she did have Facebook, her profile would no doubt be super interesting. Likes would include crumpled blankets, my dad, trying to get people to give her milk, and eating the catnip in my mom’s flowerbed. Dislikes would include bacon, no one ever giving her any milk, and trying to figure out who’s whistling.

Since Hester’s never going to figure out how to use the internet, I’ve got to set my sights elsewhere. So let me know…do any of you have blogs? Hopefully all of you have blogs! Everyone needs one! Start one today!

Please, let me follow your every move. Share a link to your blog in the comments so I can check it out! Then maybe I can send you angry emails when you don’t update often enough for me, like I do with Lauren. Fun!

Who Wants To Be Pen Pals?


When I was a kid, I was crazy for letters. A lot of this had to do with the fact that I lived in a small town, the internet didn’t exist, and I spent a lot of time by myself. Letters really were a window into the world outside the ‘ville. I found pen pals in the weirdest ways…through magazines, mostly. I’m almost positive magazines don’t offer this option anymore; “normal” kids probably don’t spend a lot of time writing letters because, you know, the internet. Also there were these little books, I don’t remember what they were called, that you would write your address in and then send on to another person. Then the last person would send it back to the original address, and that person would have a whole book of addresses. Also, sometimes you would include stickers, because hello, stickers? Don’t you remember how stickers were the coolest?
Anyway, I am ready to try my hand at pen palling again. Do you want to be my pen pal? Imagine this said in the saddest, loneliest voice possible and maybe that will change your mind. It’s true that in the past my letter writing has been inconsistent at best, but I’m ready to dive into this head (pen?) first.
Send me an email at welcometoladyville(at)gmail(dot)com and let’s start writin’!

Note: if I get emails from anyone who sounds even remotely like a stalker I will shut this bitch down. You guys know how I am.

Goodreads


One of my New Year’s Resolutions was to use Goodreads all year to keep track of the books I’m reading. If you’re on Goodreads, you should add me so I have more than one friend. Be warned that I will not always be reading things as classy as Anna Karenina. I mean, I’ve only read the first Gossip Girl, so I still have a ways to go.
my read shelf:
Kerry's book recommendations, liked quotes, book clubs, book trivia, book lists (read shelf)
