I received some interesting mail over the blogging break, mostly screaming DO A FRICKIN POST, WOULD YOU? but then also some really nice messages requesting that I DO A FRICKIN POST! And then some truly lovely telegrams with kind words along the lines of HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NOW DO A FRICKIN POST.
Really, you guys are just too much. Thank you.
But intermixed with the bullying came the email with the subject heading “Jamie, I shower with you everyday” and at that moment, THEN I knew you guys were getting creative. If screaming emails wouldn’t get my blogging butt in gear, well then BY GOLLY, A CREEPY ONE WOULD!
Apparently, Rae feels as though I am sneaking around and moonlighting as a shampoo model. She also feels as though this fact should have been made clear and outwardly disclosed before she went out and BOUGHT the brand of shampoo I, apparently, am on. Because, there’s nothing worse or more embarrassing than meeting someone new only to discover them in your shower.
Maybe that circumstance happens quite often in your life, I suppose I shouldn’t make assumptions. That was rude. But nevertheless, for Rae, it was embarrassing and on the verge of rude to find me in her shower.
Now, between you and I, I think Rae is a little wacko. These things only happen to Rae, if you know what I mean. Bloggers only turn up in RAE’S shower? I think not. What are the odds.
But, in case you are curious or just feel like making Rae feel not insane, here is a comparison:
THIS is what I look like in crazy town (aka: Rae’s mind)
and this is me in real life:
Ahhh, like a breath of fresh air, so lovely. This is what I look like when I blog and my neglected child takes a photo of me. Hold on, I have a better picture somewhere.
Wait, that’s not me! That’s the neglected child!
There we go, a semi-normal photo of me. Do we see a resemblance? No, no we do not. But thank you Rae for the blogging fodder. 
Another email I got over the break was one asking how my vintage themed Christmas went. If you’ll remember, I said I was only shopping at antique stores for presents this year. And it was a hit. And the presents rocked. And I will tell you all about it tomorrow. Goodnight friends!
Jamie

well good grief girl, it’s about flippin time… Every morning (afternoon and night) i would check my google reader and you would never show up. I was starting to question if you were ever coming back.
Just tonight I looked out at the snow drifts in my nampa yard and thought maybe you’d been buried alive… or eaten by snakes.
I really didn’t know, but I worried…
did you read my post about my missing sister? My next frantic post could have been about you!

Damn it! The one day I decide to try to eat healthy, and you make me choke on my oatmeal from laughing.

Yay, you are back! I was wondering where you are as well. Your posts go well with my morning coffee!

I think it might have been the mini-van photo shoot that tipped her off!
This was funny:)

Now, don’t shoot me, but I can see how somebody might find a resemblance. However, you are clearly way hotter. I mean, come on.
Also, your kid is adorable and I am excited for photos of new kids when that happens.
Also again, I like the promise of a post for tomorrow because maybe that slightly raises the odds of you posting tomorrow? If you don’t then you are a TEASE and that is just UNFAIR.

Phew! Thought you were dead. Or ran off to join some kind of Hot Minivan cult.
Anyway, hate to burst your bubble, but you do kinda look like that shampoo model. Or rather, what I MEAN is, that shampoo model does (kind of) approach the shocking gorgeousness of you.

Ok, I am SOOOO over the fact that you are young… and adorable… AND you have a rockin’ mini-van… and now you are a FREAKIN’ model?!?!?
Can you not throw us older, bigger, SUV driving mommies a break?!
Thanks for the promise of a blog tomorrow- I might not go slit my wrists “with a pink bik” now.

You know I stop eating when you stop blogging. Why do you do this to me? I’ve just eaten an entire bag of hot cheetos reading your post.
That shampoo model does kind of look like you. I’d only be able to tell for sure if she were standing in front of a minivan.
Glad your back. Don’t do that again.

I’ll believe it when I see it. (You posting 2 days in a row.) HMPH.

My side of the story is now on my blog. Shoulda thought of that a day or two ago…
So, when will we see you on America’s Next Top Model? And, to think, you got your start in MY shower!
Love ya,
Rae, uh, I mean “Whacko”
