I just thought I'd shake things up today. So "Watch your back". (That's a quote from the Office) Anyway, I think the public would love to hear your thoughts on how awesome your wife is. Just a suggestion. I love you! Hi Alex,

Julia has never commented on this blog before. I thought it was my place to say mean things about her behind her back. :P I'm still working on my 25 things list. I'm just slow. Wait, what?

I’m still working on my 25 things list. I’m just slow.

In fact, I listed that on my 25 random things post! How convenient! Also, you quoted Simpson’s…just like me! In fact, I listed that on my 25 random things post! How convenient!

It's funny and ....insightful? Anyway, I keep telling my husband to write his but he never does. He's kind of grumpy. You should tell him to do it...and say nice things about his nice wife.

And here I was feeling guilty about making people feel bad when I posted that I appreciated appropriately-used apostrophes. I hope she gets de-friended. It cracks me up, the whole hypocrisy of her article. Why is she writing an article in TIME, all full of her own opinions? Sounds pretty narcissistic to me. And "most people aren't funny, they aren't insightful, and they share way too much" -- amen; this lady isn't funny OR insightful. Also: "800,000 hours of worktime productivity lost" -- maybe I'm naive enough to think that many people did this on their own time, not their employer's? (Then again, I'm just a lowly homemaker, not a writer for TIME; what do I know?) (Then again, *I* didn't waste my time perusing friends-of-friends-of-friends' 25 things lists; nor do I "Twitter.") (I guess she does it for her JOB.) (Maybe *I* should take over her job; it doesn't take a lot of talent to write an article that 25 different people wrote for you and be grouchy the rest of the time.) I've liked the 25-things meme. I've gotten a few laughs out of some peoples; others, I've learned more about who they are. (Most people I know didn't post things as silly as she posted. She must have some pretty wacked-out friends. And friends-of-friends. And friends-of-friends-of-friends.) Oh, and I also loved the post Margret shared, by the way. (I also know Margret in real life.)
