Sad News

This just in. I'm not funny!!! I feel like I'm kind of funny when I'm talking to people, but when I'm writing? Notsomuch!

I read all of these funny blogs every day and every day it's like a slap in the face telling me "YOU AREN'T FUNNY!"

For example: I went to dinner with a few cousins, grandpa, ML, an uncle, grandpa's wife (who is younger than grandpa's daughter), and MV (dad). How it came up, I don't know, but someone brought up how funny it is to hear people speak Minnesotan. So I piped up! I speak that! I decided to show off my talent and got TONS of laughs!! Dad even threw out a rare compliment saying "Isn't that great?! She's SO good at it!!" - I have to admit - he's right - I really AM SO good at it!! Sadly, however, this one talent doesn't really translate into writing. Is this my only talent??

I wracked my brain trying to think of any other talents I may have. Nada - I can't even speak the language I took for 14 years! (another non talent just popped into my head - ability to do math without using my fingers - I had to figure out how many years I took French using my fingers) Due to my ability of speaking French holding steady at at 3 year old's level, I am unable to help sister with one teeny favor she asked..http://cjconney.blogspot.com/2009/03/people-send-darndest-things.html...sorry sissy

I asked ML if he could think of any talents that I have and of course, being a BOY, he came up with plenty of talents I can't share with you yet - our relationship is just too new.

In closing, I'm hoping that one of these days inspiration will hit and I'll feel brave enough to let someone other than sissy see my blog.
