"Jeff, the internet says…"
as in "Jeff, the internet says I should give my cat away" or
"Jeff, the internet thinks we should go with the freezer on the
bottom."
I wonder what our marriage would be like without the internet. Specifically,
without my blog. It's been around since before we were a couple and many of you
watched as I stumbled into our courtship while recovering from a broken heart.
You helped me choose flowers and music for the day I walked down the aisle. You
aided me in identifying ingredients in my first attempts at cooking for my new
husband. When that meal nearly poisoned said husband, you taught me about the
BRAT diet and possibly saved my marriage. Essentially internet, you watched me
grow up.
In the years since I’ve had the blog, it’s become a virtual
sounding board for me. It’s not that I’m incapable of making my own decisions.
It’s just that it’s so comforting to come to this screen and use a few
keystrokes to learn what worked for other people and connect with them about life in general.
Plus, I just have lots of funny stories to share. Like about
how I have to pretend I have a child every time I go to Publix now. It’s a bit
of a quandary. But more about that tomorrow. Today I’m going to look at
refrigerators. Thanks, y’all!
