What Goes Ha-Ha-Ha Plop?

We all crave attention.  Come on it’s true.  We crave it so much we blog.  We teach.  We sometimes make fools of ourselves, but we always crave attention.  That’s why I love teaching…It’s a constant audience for me.  I love it when my owlets laugh at my jokes or tell me that I have the best ideas in the whole world, or that they love it when I sing “opera style!”  I love it when another blogger notices me and gives me an award!  Thank you Sara!  You are now over 100!

I love  Sara's owl and her blog! Go
like her...You'll be glad you did!

 I have always enjoyed being in the limelight.  At an early age I thought I’d like to be a stand-up comedian.  Seriously.  My favorite joke?  What goes ha-ha-ha plop?  Read on I’ll tell you the punch line later. If I tell you now you’ll laugh so hard that you won’t be able to read through this post… I don’t want to lose my audience.  I did lose my audience once.  When I was four years old my sister was born.  She was much cuter than I was.  I was supposed to be the baby, but that only lasted four years before number six child showed up.  There are five people out there who look a lot like me, talk a lot like me and who I love to entertain.  I can actually thank my little sister today for contributing to the person I am.  I had to work harder to be noticed when all that cuteness was around.

I always thought I’d like to be a motivational speaker.  I’m not sure what I’d motivate people to do, though.  Maybe remove wallpaper from walls.  I’ve gotten pretty good at it and actually enjoy it because I get to listen to my thoughts very well when I’m all alone in my house doing it.  My kids don’t want to be anywhere around because I can’t motivate them to help me get the job done.  I can’t even motivate them to clean their rooms. 

Maybe I could motivate people to cook delicious meals.  I have a couple “go to” recipes that my family love so much that they invite people over so I’ll be motivated to cook them.  I even have a signature dish.  It’s called “Jenny Chicken” It’s actually called Spicy Chinese Chicken Fettuccine, but it’s easier to just say Jenny Chicken!  I made it last night for company, so it’s on my mind.  I’m only sharing it with you. Shhh…Don’t tell the others.

Perhaps I’ll motivate people to go out and look at birds.  Wait a second. I already do that!  I love taking groups of people on bird walks.  I even have a blog devoted to birds or other things natural. I started watching birds at the age of 6 months.  I would take all my toys out of the toy box, crawl into the box and look at an old bird guide of my mom’s.  Yes, birding is an inherited disorder! Everyone in my family loves a good bird!

As you can tell I love attention that’s why I felt so honored when I was awarded the Versatile Blogger Award.  Thank you, Sara for bestowing this honor on me and giving me a chance to share seven random things about myself.
