today is her birthday.
she is getting really old.
chicago jenny does not read my blog.
i know!!!!
you read that correctly.
chicago jenny…my best friend…the woman who helped me birth my babies….who took care of my kids when i was too hungover sick…the friend who has been to see me in kansas 5 times…
does not read my blog.
it's not clear as to why she doesn't read it.
maybe it's because she thinks i am too happy on the blog? (i do complain a lot to my friends in real life)
maybe she misses me so much that reading the blog makes her sad?
maybe she knows that in real life i talk/laugh/joke about s*x (it's true!)
and it bugs her that i don't on the blog? (my grandma reads this blog jenny…)
maybe she thinks i am so funny in person and the blog is no comparison????
maybe she wants to be mentioned in every blog post?
maybe her internet can only get facebook and can't open my blog?
maybe she can't read?
maybe she thinks i don't play sequence well enough?
maybe she can't stand the all-lowercase-letters-rule i have here?
maybe she's mad about the photos i posted of her in the gown from thrift store?
maybe she thinks i am boring?
maybe it's because she is a chemist and only likes to read blogs about chemistry?
i guess maybe it's because she works a few different jobs.
and her husband is always making her go go go to all kinds of fun places.
and she is involved in the school and committees
and she has a big extended family that she spends lots of time with.
and she reads books.
and MAYBE it's because we are already best friends without the blog…she just doesn't need it.
but i hope today (after or before her sister's wedding) she will see her
happy birthday blog post so you can all wish her a happy birthday
and i can tell everyone, including her how much i love her.
happy birthday jenny!
Rebecca - Happy Birthday! 🙂 My sister and/or best friends doesn’t read my blog either! 🙂
Chicago Jen - Thank you all for your happy birthday wishes. I spent a delicious day in sunny California for my sister’s wedding. My awesome hubby put balloons and streamers in the dining area of the hotel lobby. BTW, I don’t check the blog because when (or IF) she ever calls me, we will have nothing to say since I know it already. Perhaps with my new Itouch, I can keep up with her a little better. love ya meg
pam - happy, happy, happy birthday Chicago Jenny!!! Cheers to BFF’s! 🙂
Jenny - No way!!! I know Chicago Jenny! I am another Chicago Jenny who went to Christian Heritage Academy with YOUR Chicago Jenny. SOOOOOOO weird! What was her maiden name? I’m sure it is the same Jenny…I was Jenny Liace (sounds like Leeachee) back then. You’ve got to let me know…
Tammy - Happy Birthday Chicago Jenny, all the way from SW Ohio!
Kimberlee J. - Hysterical. Laughing through the entire thing.
Mandi - Happy birthday Jenny, all the way from Tennessee!
Mother Runner - Hey. Can you give Jenny a message for me…”HAPPY BIRTHDAY”!
Diana - ROTFL!!
But, honey, she doesn’t NEED to read your blog… she already has you as her best friend in real life!
Happy Birthday, Chicago Jenny!
😀
your cool friend Cheryl - Happy birthday Chicago Jenny! Thanks for sharing your friend with us 🙂
I think it’s funny that the people we know don’t read our blogs. I only know 2 of my readers in real life!
I live in Chicago…does that make me Chicago Cheryl? 😉
Amy at The Red Chair Blog - Cute post. I can relate. Your best friend doesn’t read my blog either 🙂
Jill J - It’s SO true! Only a few of my friends read too. (Hi back Jennifer!!! She started me on your blog) Which is SO depressing. 🙁 Especially because I have a closed blog and only my friends and family can read my blog.
Well, I hope that Chicago Jenny reads your blog today. Because that is so sweet!
Dana D@BoysMyJoys - Happy Birthday, Jenny!!!
Kate - Oh wow! Me too 🙂 And my best friend – Chicago Jen (weird, huh?!) just became DC Jen… I’m glad it’s not just me… 🙂
Becky @ Farmgirl Paints - Oh happy birthday Jenny. I don’t understood why some of my closest friends don’t read my blog either…I mean complete strangers seem to love me, but my friends??? HA! Love your writing style Meg…so fun to read:)
Simies - Happy birthday, Jenny! You are lucky girl to have such a best friend!
jennifer - Oh this is so funny and I’m so glad I’m not alone. I started my blog several months ago when we moved as way to keep in touch with my friends and only one reads it. (Hi Jill!)
Of course I’ve posted nothing new in weeks, but I’m sure that has nothing to do with it. 🙂
Happy Birthday Chicago Jenny! And thanks for sharing Meg with us!
Lorilee - I know what you mean! I have many friends who don’t know what blogging is! I even have some friends who choose not to have computers in their homes.
Blessings,
Lorilee
linda@LimeintheCoconut - Ok…I am not alone. My closest friends don’t read my blog either (although I catch my mother sneaking a peak).
I’m going with answer 7. They can’t read.
Yep. 7
So there Chicago Jenny… and my friends(who probably read YOUR blog…Hey, maybe Chicago J reads mine. I feel better now.)
Happy Day Chicago J!
Staci - Happy Birthday Chicago Jenny!!!!!!!!!! READ MEG’S BLOG 🙂 hee hee!
pve - I know it is a weird phenomena that best friends do not read the blog, but that those we never have met can immediately know that if you did meet you would be instant friends and maybe it makes those friends just a tad jealous. that could be why your friend does not read it, unless, maybe she does not really like you anyway…..ha!
happy birthday to your friend jenny that does not read your blog.
