ATTN: Houston – Hide Your Jewelry & Your Husbands
Let me say first of all how much I appreciate everyone’s responses to my vlogs in which I repeatedly threaten to beat up a pregnant uber blogger named Dooce. We will return to more video taped threats in the days to come. But first, this just in…
Sher is about to do what Chris Hansen of Dateline NBC has told me repeatedly not to do. I am going to get on a plane and fly to a city I’ve never been to meet people I only know through the internet. What flavor of crazy, white trash woman does a thing like that, right?
That would be this flavor – Southern vanilla-moonshine crunch with nuts.
Ryland and Kristi are my hosts as well as the potential Houston white slave traffickers. I met them online when Kristi sent me a flattering email about Wiping the Crazy off My Face. She asked whether my background was in journalism. I told her my background was in crazy. We were immediately in love.
After many months of cyber-bff’n, Kristi introduced me to her real life BFF, Ryland. Another immediate connection was made when Ryland and I began to talk and I decided I loved her harder than a goat loves a stump. I’ve asked her repeatedly to move to Idaho with me so we can get married. As of this writing, no date has been set.
As it turns out, the three of us have a connection that is deeper than the fact we each have a computer. Collectively we believe Michael Buble is sex on a stick, Elvis is alive and Crocs are Satan’s shoe. Frankly those bonds are stronger than any I’ve had with at least ¾ of my husbands.
We also love to laugh at ourselves, at our pasts and of course, at others. As we began to exchange emails and phone calls, it didn’t take long to realize we are funnier together than we are apart.
So, without ever having seen each other in sweatpants, we began a writing palooza and are now in full on collaboration mode. We have the website, we have the want to – we just don’t have the Wordpress mojo to get it moving. Therefore I am hopping a plane, which as you know is packed with germs and is very likely to crash once I get on it, and heading to meet my bitches.
I’m horribly nervous for all the reasons you might suspect.
First of all, what if there really is no Kristi & Ryland? What if in fact their real names are Bertram and Fat Jimmy? What if they are truly planning on selling me into white slavery?
Note to Bertram & Fat Jimmy – save yourself the trouble as I will bring very little change on the auction block. My ovaries stopped working like 14 years ago and I rarely do as I’m told. Some might even say I’m sassy.
Then there is the worry that Kristi will greet me wearing a tiara and a mink stole. That’s what rich people wear every day right? Oh! Did I forget to mention Kristi is a self-proclaimed trophy wife and socialite and has more money than God? Well – God before the price of oil dropped anyway. She refers to one of her homes as “the farm” when in fact it is my firm belief she does not understand the word farm. Unless there are chickens crapping on the front lawn and she is personally up at dawn to milk something other than her husband’s bank account, a giant house on country acreage does not a farm make.
She also has lots of dinners with people who have very recognizable last names. This causes concern for me. I’m terrified I’ll show up for dinner thinking we’re having hot dogs and Van DeKamp’s Pork ‘n Beans only to find the Prime Minister of mother truckin’ Zimbabwe and a table covered in silver platters of snails and goose liver.
Note to Kristi – I don’t eat things I used to murder for fun with a salt shaker AND I don’t want to meet anyone who doesn’t know what a pork rind is and has never thrown up tequila.
Then there’s Ryland. She has this easy, understated grace about her that makes her seem entirely above it all even though she may be screaming obscenities on the inside. She’s blonde and flawless and charming and hates it when people end sentences with the word of or at. She grew up in the world of mucho money whereas I grew up in the land of biscuits and gravy and knowing for sure mucho was how people in Mexico sang the Bingo song-o. She’s an artsy-fartsy type who goes to galleries and owns art work that was not purchased in an abandoned parking lot of a liquor store. Most of it isn’t even on black velvet.
Note to Ryland – Please do not make me go to places where Guy is pronounced Gee and I cannot engage at least three people in a discussion about the finer points of how to microwave a Moon Pie to perfection. I will only embarrass you and you will have it coming.
So there it is then. My plan is to go on Memorial weekend so if you do not hear from me soon after, please alert the authorities. I’m either an uppity white slave in a foreign country or I’ve run off with someone’s Houston husband. I’m betting you can guess which is more likely.

Blog Envy
Watching Ryan Seacrest high-five a blind guy last night made me laugh out loud and ask my Yorkies, "Did you see that?".
That makes me a bad person, doesn't it?
I'll tell you what else makes me a bad person: blog envy. I'll admit it. I often suffer from B.E. several times a week. When I'm cramping, at least eight times a week.
The Bloggess makes me truly laugh out loud and not that fake LOL stuff that I text people when they think they've sent me something clever. She's funny in a way I can't even wrap my brain around and that makes me hate her in a very sweet, not gonna kill her and stuff her head in my trunk kind of way.
From way back in 2003, I've had major B.E. for Donna at So-Cal Mom for many reasons. In fact, I've told her for years that I'm going to write a book called, "Why I'm Jealous of Donna Schwartz Mills". She's one of those Power Mom Bloggers we all hear about, although she'll modestly tell you that she's not. Donna once worked for the Johnny Carson show, she's tossed back a beer with Bono, she has her hand in countless things, somehow manages to write for several blogs - and is successful in a way that impresses me - although once again she'll tell you she's not.
But don't listen to her. We've established she's a drinker.
And as long as I'm talking about B.E., I can't leave out Kristi Schiller at Diary of a Playdate Dropout. What to say about Kristi?
Well, she's blond and gorgeous and rich. Those three things alone make me want to punch her in the eye... and I mean that in sweetest, most Christian way. Although that would be enough to make me envy her, in the interest of truth in blogging, I have to tell you that she's also very nice and very "down home" when you get to know her. I love her blog because it allows a poor, white trash Southern woman to live vicariously through her. (Yes, I am the poor, white trash Southern woman. Just ask the cops who show up at my trailer court every Friday night.)
So those are a few of my B.E. obsessions. What about you? Any B.E. you wanna tell me about?
