So, I kind of suck. And not in the good way either (so don't you boys go getting all excited.)
I started these weekly recaps 26 weeks ago to highlight the best comments that I got and then I realized that I'm virtually brain dead on Fridays and I stopped. But that's not really fair because the comments are the best part of my blog so you should DEFINITELY get to read them.
Also, reprinting the comments here gives me a chance to respond to them (because I'm apparently not smart enough to figure out the "Reply to comment" feature in my blogging application.)
But I don't want to do it if you don't want to see it so how about a little feedback? Would you mind leaving a comment letting me know if you like to see the post recap and the best comments or if you couldn't care less about comments and just want a regular old post on Fridays?
Thanks!
On the post, The Burning Bed:
So awesome. My husband still maintains, that he doesn't "take care of himself." Lol, whatever helps you sleep at night, dude.
signed, Bree
Kit: He is totally LYING.
In this house, if one person says they're gonna take care of it themselves, the other one absolutely goes in WITH them, to either watch or help. Very few things are hotter to me. Yowza.
signed, Serene
Kit: My husband almost always gives me the right of first refusal, but if I'm not in the mood it's HIGHLY UNLIKELY that the appearance of Mr. UGLY is going to change my mind. There's a reason that Playgirl should be called Playgay - I dont know many women who think penises are attractive.
On the post, Writing Assignment, One Liners:
My husband was joking around one day and told me he had 'the decision-making penis'. I told him "Yeah, well I have the veto-vagina". He didn't have a comeback to that.
signed, Stef
Kit: This is absolutely perfect because it's SO true.
Inappropriate alert!
I may or may not have heard when out this weekend someone say:
"He's not all that but I'd still put my thighs on his sideburns."DEAD!
signed, Jen
Kit: I love the visual!
On the post, Why I hate Gin...:
I don't like gin because it makes my pants fall down in airports and during PTA meetings and waiting in line at the DMV... and church.
signed, Furiousball
Kit: exactly, gin is evil.
Nothing smells worse than gin puke. FACT.
signed, Miss Tricky
Kit: Did you know that scent is the strongest sense tied to memory?? Well it is! And the last thing I needed was the reminder about the smell! Just reading that brought it all back and I almost hurled again!
honey, that's the kind of story that should dismiss you from all kinds of things. spare ribs. red shiny probes. family events.
and gin is nasty.
signed, andygirl
Kit: And Ah-so sauce. Seriously? That stuff is GROSS even when I haven't obliterated the lining of my stomach. Just the thought of Ah-so sauce on a greasy spare rib... ugh...
On the post, Homework: D-:
Ha, yes Kit, I've made that "remember" mistake, but I didn't have to be told that I was remembering something from another life. I knew it the moment the word left my lips. Where's that magical two-second reset button when you need it? Ray
signed, Ray
Kit: Ray, it takes a strong man to admit his mistakes!
ew no? did he think you meant the ben gay? because the KY warming is awesome!
signed, andygirl
Kit: Honey, your comment made me EXTRA sad because my LIFE PARTNER is all NO WAY on the KY. Of course, I AM very persuasive, especially when Mr. Ugly is on the scene. And if all else fails Carmen is pretty openminded.
On the post, Rats:
My girlfriends says I used to do that when I was teaching high school. 'Course I used to drink a lot in those days, too. So, I don't know whether it was the kids or the booze.
signed, Fred Miller
Kit: My husband is a stay at home dad - maybe that explains the dream of being chased by small dirty creatures, unable to get away. Thanks for clearing this up. You've saved us years of therapy! I'll let him know that booze helps.
So, that's all folks. As usual, thanks for reading. This was a long week for me but lots of good things happened so it was worth the slog. I should get some good news on the job search progress today so I plan to be blowing off steam AND celebrating tonight at #wineparty. BEWARE!
Have a great weekend and don't do anything I wouldn't do.
Love,
Kit
see, this post is one of my favorites, every week. 'Course, pretty much every post is one of my favorites . . . but still. I love the recap!

Reading the comments - with your responses! - is seriously the bees' knees of my week. It just adds to the hilarity of your posts!

Add another vote to "Love 'Dangerous Letters' posts" camp. Seriously. They're awesome.

I had sex with these comments. There's a 5er on the dresser for cab fare

I'm glad you cleared that up in the first sentence about how you suck. That picture of Bernadette Peters in your sidebar always makes my glands jump.
I do like the comment re-cap.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the recap...I don't always have time to go back and read the comments once I've read your post for the day so seeing the ones you post is great. Plus, your responses? Awesome!

I love the comments recap! super fun!

I do like the comment recap.
On the note of warming KY, absolutely not! That shit burns! Regular KY though, is a godsend!

One more vote for comment recap. Love it! Especially your responses.

Okay, I love the comment recap. Just my opinion.
And I'm just catching up on you today, and I used the same playgirl/playgay joke in a tweet yesterday. If you saw it, I hope you didn't think I was trying to steal, I just read this today! I guess great minds think alike?
