Nope. No real posts here.
Nada.
Zilch.
Zip.
Zero.
If you’re looking for a real post, try Chase’s latest conversation with his two-year-old. Or Kuhlair’s blog, which features some really awesome pics of the Trevi Fountain in Rome. Or, heck…stumble on over to Clay’s site for an interesting article about Katy Perry and Kelly Clarkson (if you can survive the eye rolls and disgusted sighs that you just did….honestly…it’s a great post).
But, alas…this is not a real post…this is an un-post…the by-product of a busy weekend, filled with rehearsals, voice lessons, vomiting dogs, baked burritos, snore-inducing sermons, Wal-Mart runs, and Moulin Rouge viewings. I had every intent to write a post today…but, life just got in the way.
So, if a blogger intends to write a post in a forest, and no one sees a post, do they still get credit, hits, and a chance to be Freshly Pressed?!? Ehh…probably not.
I was going to write you poetry, dear readers. I was going to wax nostalgic about past trips to Italy and NYC. I was going to write another Stick Figure Movie Reviewabout the cotton candy rom-com Letters to Juliet. But, instead I:
1.) Drank two huge glasses of wine
2.) Cleaned up pet stains on my carpets with Oxy-Clean
3.) Did the Saturday Night Fever dance move 37 times at a rehearsal
4.) Indulged in a Baja Chalupa from Taco Bell
5.) Wrote a to-do list while in church, “listening” to a sermon
6.) Steamed my laundry while listening to the recording of Dreamgirls
7.) Ate Baby Back Ribs flavored potato chips for dinner
So, as you can see, I had a massively productive weekend, and that, my friends, is why I cannot offer you anything substantive or worthwhile today. What I can offer you is this:
It’s funny because the cat is wearing a hat!
Or this…
I bet he never leaves the house.
Or even this golden nugget…
Kind of a convenient place for a Lost-and-Found…
But I can, and will not, be able to offer you any worthwhile post today, featuring funny images, a recap of my weekend, and light banter between author and reader…
Wait…

This is an uncomment 🙂

You’re uncommonly kind! Thanks for stopping by!

Some of your best un-work yet. I think you really captured the art of not posting a funny, well written, article with non-funny photos of men who can do what I can only dream if doing. You have not done an amazing job today and I did not fall more in love with Bethany.
Posted by auntbethany on January 24, 2011 at 11:40 pm
You’ve unsuccessfully flattered me, and therefore, I have no choice but to not hug you tighter the next time I see you. Thanks for nothing!

Oh my! That dude is freaky!! Yikes! Makes my tummy hurt. Haha.
Posted by auntbethany on January 24, 2011 at 11:40 pm
Anyone that can figure out they can do that has way too much time on their hands.
Posted by fnkybee on January 24, 2011 at 8:33 am
Even your “un-posts” are funny!
Have a fabulous week!
Posted by auntbethany on January 24, 2011 at 11:41 pm
Thanks, Fnkybee! It’s a crazy week, but I’m trying to keep up with your posts the best I can!

i literally LOL-ed! have a good day!
Posted by auntbethany on January 24, 2011 at 11:41 pm
You too, Kuhlair! Looking forward to more pics of Italy!

I hate to break it to you, but somewhere in your attempt to explain why you couldn’t post… you posted! 🙂
Posted by auntbethany on January 24, 2011 at 11:42 pm
Are you SERIOUS?!? I did not intend for that to happen…wow…this is so embarrassing. I don’t know what to say. This is awkward…
Posted by shoutabyss on January 24, 2011 at 9:42 am
I grabbed an un-Cola and I proposed an un-toast!
Posted by auntbethany on January 24, 2011 at 11:43 pm
Uncheers to you, my good fellow!
Posted by Chase McFadden on January 24, 2011 at 9:49 am
Thanks for the un-mention. I am un-unappreciative.
Baby back rib flavored potato chips? That sounds like a weekend.
Posted by auntbethany on January 25, 2011 at 12:14 am
The chips have somehow made it past the long weekend, and are now dwindling in the bag. Next up? Cheeseburger flavored chips…
Posted by Tori Nelson on January 24, 2011 at 10:11 am
Haha! Your un-post was a post, dear. And a post with funny cat pictures at that!
Posted by auntbethany on January 25, 2011 at 12:16 am
What!?! No…you’re saying that–it can’t be. You mean to tell me–couldn’t be. I did NOT post a post. I clearly submitted an un-post. Clearly. I don’t know how those damn cats made it in there…
Posted by marinasleeps on January 24, 2011 at 3:22 pm
Dang even your unposts are hilarious.
How do you do it!
I mean steam your clothes while listening to the Dreamgirls Soundtrack. When I listen to it, I never get anything done!
Posted by auntbethany on January 25, 2011 at 12:17 am
Oh gosh…if I didn’t put on some music while steaming/laundering/washing/dusting/vacuuming, I’d go nuts! It gives me incentive!
Posted by Larry Hehn on January 24, 2011 at 9:29 pm
I wonder if they’ll ever come out with potato chip flavored baby back ribs…
Posted by auntbethany on January 25, 2011 at 12:18 am
I’m sure there’s a baby back rib casserole out there with potato chips sitting all crispy and seductive on top.

Happy unbirthday to you!
Posted by auntbethany on January 25, 2011 at 12:29 am
A very merry unbirthday to you as well!
Posted by educlaytion on January 24, 2011 at 11:27 pm
I’m unofficially uncommenting but had I been here I’d be more than unthankful for the nod. I thought you seemed awfully busy lately. I hope all your work pays off. I would pay to see you rock Saturday Night Fever. You should add a Black Swan element to the performance, but not dying because no one would enjoy that. Be undead.
Posted by auntbethany on January 25, 2011 at 12:58 am
I have been a tad busy…I got another piano gig in the mornings, so my reading time has been slim. Plus, rocking like John Travolta takes up some time, too. Being undead, however, takes absolutely no time and adds a lot to my resume.
Posted by kelybreez on January 25, 2011 at 12:55 am
You’re my unfriend.
Posted by auntbethany on January 25, 2011 at 12:58 am
You’re very unwelcome.
