You gave me a much needed laugh today. Oh, what do I say...I was rofling. My husband already looks very worried.
Thanks for posting that.
Hi Misfit Mimes!
I enjoy a lot reading your blog. It's really good. You write with a clever sense of humor that makes people who read it laugh even if they are alone (this has happened to me several times).
It's a long time I wanted to post a comment here to thank you for your entertaining way of writing and, I guess, your amazing way of living.
I follow Johnny Weir in facebook, and I read everything you post in there. This makes your posts even funnier!! because when you're reading you know what you are talking about, why you use one sentence,....
Ah! Very lucky you and your children!! You met Johnny!!
I live far away, in Europe, so I think I never won't be able. But youtube is fanTAStic.
Big hug
Laura
Wow, now if he would just follow your advice, we'd have the best book ever! LOVE IT!
As hysterical and clever as ever!! Maybe Johnny should hire you on as his ghostwriter....
Spot on and HILARIOUS!!! Love it!
I will not be able to make it past Chapter 6...only to jump to Chapter 16.
#12 Galina is now my desktop wallpaper. That is, until my daughter changes it again to something Plushy-themed.
Love these chapter titles. Perhaps you could work on an unofficial mini-guide to "The Wonderful World of Weir", which can be packaged along with the Johnny Weir Action Figure!
I totally snorted out loud (SO attractive in a woman of any age!!) at #7. Absolutely love Chapter 19 - exactly as it should be.
Absolutely hysterical!
...so you read ONTD? Love the list!
Binky, just found your blog yesterday. IT MADE MY DAY! This entry is completely hysterical -- love all the links to graphics and such. My proposed title for the book is, "Our House had Electricity: Growing up Weir in Pennsylvania Amish Country."
Hey thebron, thank you so very much! And I love your proposed book title!
