Everything I Can't Tell You

Well the Little Goat learned a new trick. Nope, she's not crawling, still not even rolling over, but if you say "Gimme five!" or "High-Five!", well, that's exactly what you'll get. And lots of smiles to boot.

Recently, Jess over at Du Wax Loolu participated in a blog exchange where you write a post about whatever you want and that post is guest-posted on somebody else's blog. You can tell your regular readers where your post is or you can make them read through 30 posts until they find it themselves. You don't have to use your guest post as a confessional, but it seems that's what a lot of people choose to do. For various reasons, we can't always say exactly the things we want to say on our blogs. Maybe a relative or spouse would read a particular comment and be justly offended. Maybe we're having a bad day and writing a post that includes a swear-word might affect our blogs perfect "G" rating. Suffice to say, some things we can't even tell perfect strangers!

Well no more. Today, I will tell you everything I've ever wanted to tell you and maybe more. Here goes! Harumph!

1) My ..... Oh. My. Goodness......... I can't ..... because ..... But .... after .... happened. I think .... how .... Good grief! I've ...! I'm ...having to .....

2) .... I'm really quite ..... But then how ....? We'd really like .....because ...... It's also .... from here .... On the other hand, ....seems ...., but that's ..... Either way, it's ....

3) Those friends of ours that are having babies? Well this is them: ....... Oh...and maybe ......but not till ......

4) My .... is ..... this ..... So is ..... I'd ... be at ..... because I love .... and I ..... Alas.

5) These .... have been ....our ...has ....being '.....' Some .... just about ..... But I think .... now.

6) When we ......., we are ..... No way, Jose! And ....I'm letting ....by those '.....' ....! ....from ...... with your .............., you ...............

7) And how much do I weigh? Well, I'm 5'5" and I weigh ...... You're kidding, right? You didn't really expect me to tell you that, did you?

8) My ....? Yeah, well, .....subpar. Just ....all. My ....nearly ................. And it's .............


Well! It feels good to get that all off my chest (I'm sure there's more but I only have so long to sit here typing). So there you are, now you're in the know. :)

You tease. I was just "talking" with Beth Pack at Beautiful Day about all the things we don't blog b/c of the people who read that you really wish didn't (ahem, inlaws). I'd love to have a blog just to vent!

I love the high fives and gimme five! Super cute.

Jess said...

Cruel! This is cruel! Although obviously I have to say that I totally understand why all those gaps are there.

Hi Bren - hope you are having a good week! Take care - Kellan

Jenn said...

That is so cute when they learn new tricks like that.

We just used washable little kid paint, but you might want to test first before trying any similar stunts yourself. ALSO, we're refinishing our floors this summer, so we're a bit carefree about them.

Hey Bren - thanks for coming by. Hope you had a good weekend - see you soon. Kellan

PS - that green light is put under the water for fishing. It's also just cool to be able to see the fish beneath the water - the kids love it - I do too. It's meant for fishing, though.
