Some friends are demanding

Some friends are demanding. Take my friend Jessi, for example. We were roommates for years, and yet to my amazement I do not make her "blogs I heart" list. Heartbroken was I. And so, to save the friendship, I struck a deal: If I display a picture of her on MY blog, she adds MY blog to HER list. Like I said... demanding.



That's Jessi there on the left. Although instructed by the photographer to be a love tiger, she instead went for the rattlesnake move, (certainly stolen from the dark-haired twin of Bette Midler in that one movie where they're twins... anyone know the reference or the movie? It's late and I can't think of it and I don't care to look it up.) Regardless of her modeling abilities, I still think this shot captures the essence of Jessi. And I think we can all agree that Shanna wins the prize for best love tiger.

Now a behind the scenes explanation of the picture. Once upon a time a couple of winters ago, my blonde roommates and I went to a party at this house with the colorful walls. The owner of this bed instructed us not to go into his room under any circumstances. He was embarrassed that it was dirty, with good reason, I might add. It was dirty. For this reason, this particular UofU med student with the intials DD will not be named. And so the photo shoot and pillow fight that followed is how we entertained ourselves once he left us alone near his bedroom door. We showed him the pictures later. That was a great party.

  2. Hey Natalie...I found your blog while looking at pics of Lydia's cute baby. I am working on getting a blog going too. I would have to say that I am non-savvy, for sure. Anyway, I think the movie with Bette Midler where she is a twin is called "Big Business"

    I knew it right off the batt...NOw that's random

    I hope you are liking Vegas!

  3. Yes! Ladies, that's it. "Big Business"! Thank you for your 80's movies insight.

    And also - WELCOME! Two new comment posters, that just makes my day.

    Dana, you should DEF get a blog going. And if you're having trouble, help can be arranged. Have you seen Shanna's first blog post?

  5. UPDATE: Natalie's attempt was successful and she has since made the "blogs i heart" list. I'm not sure if Nat is aware of this, but there is monthly upkeep that is required to stay in this list. Upkeep includes, but is certainly not limited to: mentioning me in at least one blog blurb, an occasional picture and most importantly the display of any minority angels that you may have lying around.

  6. Next question though: how in the world do I join the "blogs of note"?

  7. Hey. What gives? In the rules of Natalie's blog, section 4, paragraph 3, line 27, it clearly states:
    "Any post deleted by its author must be immediately followed by a post of explanation to justify the deletion."
    Let's play by the rules, guys. The rules are here to keep us safe.

    And Dear Jessi,
    I can think of two loops you must jump through:
    1. Teach me how to attach a picture to my comments
    2. I wouldn't mind seeing MY picture on YOUR blog.
