Lisa was my
first. Lisa made a very bold move by taking me somewhere I had never been before.....Paris. Not literally, but through her blog. A blog? I had heard of blogs, but I had never read a blog until our dear friend Sharon insisted I sit down and read all about Lisa's latest escapade. You see, Lisa had moved to Paris the year before and began blogging her experiences as a 50-something American woman living in Paris. Let me tell you, over the years she has found herself in many interesting situations which have left me rolling on the floor, especially this post, She's Got That Look from August 2008.About a year an a half ago, I wrote a little story and sent it to Lisa. She was very excited by my attempt to write that she encouraged me to blog. Through a series of emails she guided me through the valley of Blogger. Widget? What in the hell is a widget? With patience and love she had me up and running to where I was now exposing myself to the blogosphere. Lisa even went so far to introduce me to her neighborhood by posting a special announcement. As a result, I received several comments on my very first post. Wow! Now, how many of you had such special help? C'mon, get your hands up...that's what I thought.
No doubt, Lisa is special. Once you have visited her blog, Omyword!, it's like sitting on the sofa with a bag of Lay's, you can't read just one. Her humor is infectious and you'll find yourself wanting more. So, I ask you all to take the time today to please visit Lisa and follow her. And, while you are there, be sure to wish her a very happy birthday!
Interesting that you should really know a blogger friend. I don't think that I can say that. Most of my friends would rather do productive shit than blog – like work. I'm like the only blogger in my circle of friends.
ReplyDelete"Lisa Wines" ?
ReplyDeleteHave you met her ugly sister "Barbara Bitches" ?
Will definitely stop by to say hello (-:
ReplyDeleteShe sounds cool, just like you! I will do my best to visit soon. Thanks for sharing her info with us!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Don. The only blogger in my circle of friends is me. In fact I may have more virtual friends than I have real ones. Sad but true. But at least they don't talk back to me! I'll have to check your buddy out. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteShoot...I so don't need another fabulous blog to keep me from doing the things I SHOULD be doing. Going to check her out now!!
ReplyDeleteLisa sounds nice :-)
ReplyDeleteI was introduced to blogging a few years ago. I found a few large paid political bloggers and commented there.
Little did I expect that one day, I would be writting my own blog...turns out, I don't all to often ;-)
I don't know any of my blogger friends as most are abroad. I think there is only about 2 from the UK. Ifound thisvery interesting to read.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
I adore Lisa and am always excited when I see she has a new post. What a great blogger to feature and I'm so jealous that you two actually know each other because I'd love to hang with you both.
ReplyDeleteEasy to see why she is your friend. I went, I read, I laughed, I lost track of time!
ReplyDeleteI love Lisa's blog. Only a year and a half? Are you sure? I am sure I have been reading your great posts for much longer. I think you were one of the first bloggers I met.
ReplyDeleteThe title of her blog is hilarious and it describes it well. I read her first post, now I'm hooked. Thanks for that, Margo. No, seriously, thank you for pointing her blog out for us. I know I'll enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy BIRTHday, dear Lisa ... Happy Birthday to you!
ReplyDeleteOK, I know I gotta go sing it right to her, but ... practicing.
The Old Silly
nope didn't have help from anyone when I first started. All the people I know personally kind of roll their eyes when i mention my blog
ReplyDeleteMeMe, you are the Bestest In The Westest. I swear. Thanks so much for doing this and for introducing me to new cool friends (I will go and visit everybody!) and for being my friend for so long. You rock.
ReplyDeleteAnd, by the way, MeMe didn't need much help when she started blogging. She got the basics and took off like a shot. I always liked bright people and this sexy chick has big brains, also too.
Two more hours til my birthday! (And I bet I'll be snoring as the clock strikes 12...or better yet...within the next 3 minutes).
I love you MeMe. Come visit me, k?
Yup. She was sure worth the visit.
ReplyDeleteAh, what fun! Thanks for tuning us in to her!
ReplyDeleteI will check her out... her blog, I mean. :-) That's pretty wild you know a blogger, personally. All of my friends have absolute zero interest in blogging or blogs no matter how much I've tried to get them to check them out. Anyhoo... take care.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sending me to Paris. I needed a vacation. Another twisted mind. I love Lisa's humor!
