Dear Readers,
It's not that I don't love you, I do — really — I've written Mrs. Dear Reader in Sharpie on my Trapper Keeper a dozen times, it's Typepad's comment thingie that's preventing you from leaving comments. The truth is Readers, I've always loved you and I always will. You're like a cat, Readers.
Why a cat? Well, you see, I'm allergic to cats, but I love them. I am allergic to most everything, if you want to know the truth. When I was a little girl, I had just been given a tiny white kitten and on Easter Sunday my mom, sister, and I were waiting in the blue station wagon with wood paneling on the sides for my dad so we could leave for church. From the car I saw my dad open the front door, my kitten come out onto the porch and then — the worst moment of my childhood. My dad stepped on my kitten. I remember this all in slow motion. I was devestated and cried all the way to church.
We had dogs all through my childhood, but I wanted a cat. I didn't care that I was allergic to them, I wanted one. So, when I was almost 18 and my bff asked what I wanted for my birthday I asked for a cat. And my cat was the best cat ever. Sure, I was allergic to him, but we co-existed happily, I loved him, he loved me — great relationship — even with the issues, not unlike our relationship, Readers.
I've always wanted to write. I write for you. You come to the blog and attempt to leave a comment, but the comment thingie is not behaving and you can't leave a comment and that makes you mad. I understand. It would make me mad, too. It's a crazy Typepad thing and I can't do anything about it, much like my cat couldn't control being a walking, meowing allergen. And so Readers, we will have to live with Typepad being crazy and y'all emailing to tell me it won't let you leave a comment to say whatever it is you want to say. It's a love/hate relationship, we love each other and hate the issue, but love wins out in the end. And no allergy shots!
xxxooo,
Kerry
