Or maybe not. Hmmm….let’s not dwell on that. In any case it has come to my attention that my blog has gone forth and gathered more readers. Now it is not just family and friends but rather other people that have no idea how crazy I really am. O and let the games begin.
I have been linked to the online local Fayette Community Newsletter. Check me out: www.fayettefrontpage.com/columns/bloglist.htm. You have to scroll down and I’m the first blog under Fun & Misc. Seems only appropriate, I always seem to be the first in the category of Fun and Miscellaneous. The caption reads “An Iowa gal moves to PTC and isn't overly fond of our neck of the woods. Fun to read!” Now I would just like to clarify that it is not the neck of the woods that I mind so much as the armpit of the woods in PTC. And really I think this poster is saying “An Iowa gal moves to PTC and look at how messed up we make her. Fun to read!” But little did the Georgians know that I have always been messed up. Anyway, it was fun to find my blog is reaching out to the natives and they are not throwing rocks. Not yet. Please, Georgians, if you spot me, don’t throw rocks at me. I can barely function by myself. No assistance necessary in the malfunctioning parts.
But it is not just the Georgians that are spotting my blog. I recently received a comment from a Derek who lives all the way in the U.K. I have no idea how they found me but hey, I don’t care. He seemed a little less then happy but really I think he just wanted to plug his own website. And since I love tosee new commenters, what the heck. Visit Derek. UK @ www.dhbruk.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk.
Anyway if you are new to the blog, welcome. I hope you enjoy the tragic-comedy that is my life. If you are not new but are not commenting, shame on you. Grr. And if you have no idea what is going on, you're in the right place. Please, feel free to comment, and remember please don’t post anything that is not for sheep ears. If you want to contact me and not the rest of the world, you can send me an email via sheep.4225sc@gmail.com.

And the world domination begins
You need a logo to to go along with your new-found world-centered approach...
I'm thinking a Peach in space, with sheep orbiting it.
Um... Erin for President '08?
Why not? The other candidates are using Youtube. At least this has some substance.
That's sounds like a great idea. I can't keep my own life in control. I might as control the world! Mawahahaha!
Did you know that the trampoline was invented by University of Iowa alumni. Don't believe me?!?! I have proof: (http://www.wvtc.co.uk/history19.htm) How interesting.
Please invent something that cool.
I mean seriously, you have been out of school long enough to have invented something as cool as a trampoline.
Justin, I am sorry, she will never have world domination without an invention like a trampoline.
I am not going to worry about world domination until you invent go-go gadget arms or something.
I would like to see an Erin invention as well. Maybe a flying nun candy bar.
I didn't realize you were trying for an international audience; I'll work on expanding your audience. I agree with both John and Dave, you definately need a cool logo for your company (which needs to have an invention cooler than the trampoline).
I disagree with Preston; you cannot run for president because you're not old enough.
Just because Erin isn't 35 now doesn't mean that she can't start campaigning. If she were to start campaigning now she would only be continuing the trend of ridiculously early campaigning.
And if she doesn't feel like campaigning that long, then I don't see any problem with Erin meandering down to Florida. She could visit with the Puerto Ricans and ask them to help her get some fake papers made. See? Instant 35 year old.
I was stuck trying to figure out how you have gone fourth...what where you ranked before?
Then I realized, "Oh, gone forth!" Homonyms, right...
Ok, Karin gets a gold star for her witty reference to Sally Fields. Thanks, for catching the title reference. However, I must subtrack 100 points from Karin for thinking she was the only one that got it.
So the score is
Karin: -100 and a gold star :)
Preston: +150
Justin: +100
John: +125
Dave: +50
Beth: -2,000 (just because I can)
Jerry: +100 (for the editing)
I disagree. Justin wasn't funny at all - why should he get 100 points? Proofreading prior to edit?
Dear Everyone,
I'm better than you.
Love,
Me
(Except Erin, of course... without her we wouldn't have this lovely blog.)
Funny, but it's ME she's coming to visit.
Oh wait, that's a punishment.
Oh, I see.
:(
Okay, I can see that the scoring was 1) inaccurate and 2) poorly explained. So let me try again.
So the score is
Karin: -100 and a gold star :)
Preston: +350
Justin: +5,400
John: +225
Dave: +50
Beth: -2,000 (just because I can)
Jerry: +100 (for the editing)
you get:
100 points for being clever enough to show to me that you recognized the Sally Field quote.
50 points for being smart enough to know what I am talking about but not letting me know.
100 points for each blog you edit.
100 points for each time you are the first to comment on a post.
100 points for making me a campaign picture.
75 points for helping me remember Sally Field's last name.
50 points for describing a campaign picture to me.
50 points handicap for being a puppy.
-100 points for being snotty about being smart.
gold star on demand.
All other points are null and void do to my inability to remember them.
Quite the magnificent scoring system...Will there be additional point categories for future blogs where memory will not be a requirement, or just points for editing and posting first?
Oh and you seemed to have left Nancy off your list. I vote she gets 5401 points.
b3v
can i have a gold star?
Sure add a gold start to Beth's count.
This is where an "edit comment" feature would come in handy.
Justin - Nancy is "Mrs Erin's Mom" to you.
sweet! now I'm just at -2,000. I can deal with that
In my defense I did not comment on this blog last night after I read it because I was up way to late baking cookies and getting them ready to mail to my children. And as far as the point system,I am to old and to wise to keep score on life anymore.
So Karen, do you think Nancy is incapable of representing herself. Is she just Mrs. Nick's mom to you, instead of the great wonderful women who makes you all those magnificent gifts?
Yes, I am deeply saddened that I won't be able to weasel my way into the family, but I will find a way to sustain myself.
Good thing I don't have a point system of my own or Justin would be at -1,000,000 for spelling my name wrong. Either that or there are some invisible commenters I'm not seeing.
I call her Nancy and I am very appreciative of all that she does. And she is very appreciative of me for keeping her eldest son alive. Mutually beneficial.
Where's my +5 points for creating the blog initially?
I'd like to thank Justin for the 5401 pts.
Don't forget Mrs Adam's mom and Mrs Karin's mother-in-law. It's amazing how one can loose their identity to their children. Maybe you all should take a moment and give "Mrs. MY Mom' some points.
Erin/Justin are sort of slacking in the comment response section right now. Hmm...secret sheep meeting?
There is always the world domination plot, which apparently involves an invention now.
Don't I get bonus points for also telling you the quote was actually "you like me" instead of "you love me?"
That, and for remembering Smokey and the Bandit.
John is bordering on snotty.
yeah... that's me. snotty. Actually, I'm just starting to whine, because apparently that's what gets you extra points (see Preston).
Well, it doesn't work for me. I think Erin forgot that the whole scoring system is skewed immensely by how much she likes you (see Justin's point total).
Alright you two! That's enough. You ruin it for all. There are no more scoring. Now no one new will ever comment on my blog. :(
We didn't ruin anything. We achieved our goal.
Seems like you did. Everyone stopped commenting. Hmmm...Come back people. We're not mean. Well we're not close enough to draw blood. Gasp
Yeah but my voodoo dolls will still work.
Dear John,
Don't be jealous. :) People just like me better because I am adorable.
And I get extra points for talking to Erin whenever Justin isn't online. (Almost all day during the week)
Dear Preston,
Be careful who you insult. Someone has to cover for us so we can go out and play. Erin calling to be wished a good night could be slightly disruptive.
i was necessarily meaning to insult. I was just simply saying that I am adorable. It's a known fact. It's in books and stuff.
John is loved in his own way. :)
Actually, Blogger errored out on my last comment and I didn't have time to go back and retype it (errored out and erased everything!) or else I would have something earlier. Instead I'm whining now.
Go Phil!
Yeah Preston you’re adorable, until you piddle on the carpet. Then you get a newspaper across the nose.
Karin, Anyone, who is Phil?
i think phil is the name of that mythical creature that steals socks out of the dryer...
After reading all of these comments I'm speechless. And pointless,apparently, since the scoring system has been nixed. Good thing I don't keep score.
ew. Phil Stacey = almost as bad as Sanjaya. And dont even get me started on Sanjaya...he's kinda like...when you are really hungry and you go to a burger place and get a burger and bite into that burger and it tastes good for the 1st second and then you notice it tastes funny so you swallow and examine the burger and then find that Justin's dog, alex, accidently went number 2 on it...he's like that.
so phil stacey is ALMOST that bad.
I think you shoudl leave Alex aout of it. He is a cute puppy.
Yes Alex is a cute puppy and he may chew through toys but he does not make messes. If he did that's what you get for ordering McD's at the airport...how uncivilized
I would like to point out, mostly because of the coaxing of Erin, that I do not think poop tastes good. Hopefully everyone else realizes what I was trying to say in my comment.
Poop = gross. Throwing up is implied at the end.
i'm pretty sure that you got McD's at the airport too, Justin. :P
Hey what you like to eat is your own business. I understand you can't eat fruit but I think we can give you some more reasonable recipes that don't include poop.
No I was talking about the McD's hamburger you got at the CR airport after dropping me off, not that horrendous breakfast we had to suffer through in San Diego
YA YA YA!!! We broke 50 comments on the blog. Good job. Everyone gets 1,000,000,000 gold stars!!!!
i didnt think i was going to get a chance to eat anything. i got it before i was told that your flight was delayed by about 12 hours.
and i had to eat SOMETHING. you left me with no food for the weekend.
Hmm, McD's or Falbos...tough choice. Oh and Falbos has a wonderful calzone "falzone" that has no tomato sauce in it. :-)
well you didn't tell me that before. and i'm guessing the Falzone costs more than a dollar.
Remember....that was the weekend when I was potentially going to go into the red in my accounts.
Erin's happy.
Okay. Don't make me send you a freaking fruit basket!
O and thanks mom.
I see someone really loved her sheep card and box of Iowa stuff. Two can play at this game (Well I guess technically three, but are we really counting?)
erin hated her sheep card. she lets DJ play with it all the time. and he tries to eat it.
who knows what she does with the box of stuff justin sent her.....
So I was told to comment...and yeah...I should be scared but I think I'm too used to you guys already.
There's a puppy in the trailer today...and no, Mikey's not here. It's somebody else's puppy...and it's cute...wait...no no, I got that right. :)
how do i change my user name??!!
NO NOT PHIL STACY!! Uncultured people. It's a SPORT reference.
so I'm just now catching up on this... and wow. I am outraged, but not at pesky little Preston as one might think. I can't believe Justin isn't getting hammered for his comment about having to "suffer" through a bad breakfast in San Diego. The Horror! I would eat lima beans off the GROK lab floor for a week if it meant I could swing a trip to San Diego in this Spring!
Good grief! I got all the way to the top and forgot what I was going to say. Oh yeah, sports reference, Karin would know. OH just found the "collapse comments". this thing could go forever. Erin write a new blog!!!
She's enjoying the extremely long comment string too much to write something new! Maybe Georgia has stopped trying to kill her so she's out of topics!
Well, I’m sorry I left my computer for a weekend. I’ll stop my vacation to answer the herds of questions.
Preston – I love the card and felt that D.J. also loves it. he plays with it but is not a biter.
Justin’s gifts are shown to everyone.
Karin – no one cares about Phil sports man of the minute.
John – you could eat off of the GROK lab floor. Lord knows I did. And Adam was a good guy for cleaning up our crazy messes.
As far as a new blog, I’ll get there in a day or two. I’m at Steph’s playing games. She is mad that I am blogging. Later.
mmm...comment 69
Eeww...you ate off of the GROK Lab fl...never mind, I remember that. It's still kind of gross even if Adam was awesome...
Hmmm...I think I might have given you food that was on the floor, Justin. And I know you knew where that rock came from when I told you to lick it. You didn't have a problem with it then.
Um...sorry. Jamie might have eaton off the GROK floor. Justin licked the rock.
So what if I licked the rock...I was dehydrated and delirious.
Yeah and fairly clean. I was the only one who licked it before you.
From Adrienne:
Oh my god, you set up an email for your sheep. It's gone too far.
Actually this is the second sheep email. But Sheepy is a little more private. ;)
yeah...she can't remember the password again...
No no, I know the password. All the other sheep wanted to play too. It is there resort too.
Speaking of eating off the floor... what the hell did you guys do with all that shrimp you "acquired" on Design Night? Did you feed that to Justin too?
Hey, a new poster, welcome to Erin's crazy world.
PS Erin, make a new post already! I'm annoyed with scrolling down forever to see the new comments.
Of course I feed the shrimp to Justin. He eats alot. A LOT. And welcome to the world of commenting.
And Karin, I'm working on it. Great work can't be rushed. I don't know what that has to do with my writing but it sounded good.
i agree; 81 (now 82) is a lot to scroll through; update the blog!!!
mmm, shrimp. I think we ate almost all the shrimp, well I did. The fruit had a less productive death
