It's Not A Party If All My Friends Aren't Welcome!

My dear friend Anonymous Boxer gave a fabulous blog party a couple of months back and invited all her cool friends. I was honored to be one of said friends, and having never been to a blog party before I didn't know what to expect. FUN! The darn thing went on for a couple of days and while I only was able to attend a small bit of it, I had a blast!

So, AB has set the bar rather high as far as my expectations and while I was blog hopping this evening I came across a blog advertising a big annual blog party. I thought: "what fun, if it's anything like AB's party, should be a good time". As I was reading how the party would be conducted, I got half way down the page and saw no men would be allowed. Huh? Why not, and how do you prevent them from participating?

I think the majority of my readers might be women, but I've got some great male friends, like Bobby, Nick and Herb Urban. I see no good reason why they shouldn't be able to add their wit and humor to a blog party, and the fact that they wouldn't be made me not want to participate. I don't know if these guys had even heard of the party; I stumbled across it myself, but that's not really the point. It's the principle of the thing!

Maybe I'm just getting overly sentimental as I become a woman "of a certain age", but if my friends aren't welcome...well honey, I'm not that girl anymore.

Priceless

While waiting for the weekend re-broadcast of "General Hospital" (yeah, I said it!) this commercial came on and I wanted to share it with you. I think if you come here every now and again it's because you find me mildly amusing and for that, I thank you.

Think of this as a little valentine to you.

Menopauseprincess' Magical Carpet Ride!

It seems that my blog is being read in outer space! Spiff The Spaceman has been reading my blog, in fact I think he started on the day I wrote about my not being so crazy about memes. So of course the little rascal tagged me!

Alakazam!

The buff Genie King and the smokin hot Genie Princess from the magical Land of Faraway have finally escaped the clutches of their Evil Master after being held captive for 1000 years and are wanting to cut loose! Busting out with them is their Genie Buddy, who, last time they were free had a bit of a gambling problem. They are now flying away on their Magical Flying Carpet on a quest to redeem their souls for all the wicked deeds they were forced to do by the Evil Master after they do a few more in the wild city of Las Vegas! They've heard that what happens there, stays there.

I am watching a marathon of "Sex and the City" when the screen begins to smoke. The smoke billows into my living room and three beings appear.
"I am the Genie King", "I am the Genie Princess", "I am the Genie Buddy" the three introduce themselves.
"We are here to grant you your fondest wish, but only after you answer this meme" purrs the Genie Princess.
"I don't do memes, they're not that interesting and my words will be forever inscribed in the pantheon of the Internet" I reply.
"Aw get over yourself sister, you ain't that interesting" growls the Genie Buddy.
"Besides, the meme is simply a bit of fun, an invitation from your Internet friends to come out and play" says the Genie King, giving the Genie Buddy a kick.
"My SO says I shouldn't" I say somewhat weakly.
"Ah yes, but it's your spirit of rebellion that keeps you interesting to your SO" murmurs Genie Princess.
"Well, yes that's true I say, I'll do it!"

The three Genies are besides themselves with delight.
As I sit down and begin, Genie Buddy says: "Hey, how far is it to Ceasar's"?
