Today is December 20th. Which means I have successfully blogged every day for the last twenty days! For anyone just tuning in, I was challenged to blog everyday for the month of December. While I basically challenged myself (although there was an instigator), and despite the incredibly busy month, I have been able to post every day thus far. Only eleven days and a few crazy holidays to go...

COP OUT. Writing a blog about how you're blogging today because you have to complete this challenge? Emily, this does not count! I expect you to get your butt back on the saddle (and not fall off like somebody I know), and come back TODAY with a funny, witty blog post. You're better than this, Emily Thoreson.
Emily,
I've learned so much about my future daughter in law since I began reading your blog. There is this guy who's first name is Jack and last name is Daniels that you seem to be close with. Does michael know?:-) Also, winning games against Michael? Where's the challenge in that? You want a real chalenge? then let's play some Scrabble....Nothing says "I'm hip and cool" like a good game of scrabble.... Your future "Faja in Law"
Dear John,
I had another blog planned for today. I was not copping out. I simply was unable to post again until this time because I was busy saving lives at work. Nice saddle comment. I literally laughed out loud. However, John MacDonald, I do appreciate your active readership.
Dear future "Faja in Law,"
I've introduced Mike to Jack. He doesn't like him very much. I am up for a winning anytime. Scrabble, however, is not my game. I wouldn't have a chance on that one. But any other game...name the time and place.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Clearly some people are not up to speed on blog-commenting etiquette. It is NOT cool to hate on a third party when that party has not been previously active in the conversation. Especially when said party might never see the conversation, and the hating would remain unknown and undefended. I thought you were better than that, John MacDonald.
Also, those saddles were highly polished and tractionless. It could've happened to anyone.
First of all, Bridget, it is highly presumptive of you to simply assume that you are the ONLY person I know to commit the embarrassing act of falling off of a stool in the middle of a bar in downtown Baltimore, with everyone watching, and subsequently laughing at that person. Like you said, it would happen to anyone.
Second of all, since Emily's blog has only five true and devoted followers, it was a virtual guarantee that you would see my comment. You are probably the person behind the Emily-blog-everyday movement, and of course would check on her progress.
Third, you and Emily seem like the sisters that tell each other everything, so even if you stopped following the blog, you would have had a chance to hear about my comments from her.
Fourth, even if you stopped following her blog, AND you and Emily stopped talking to each other, you still would have found out because of Michael. In his desperate attempt to get your weekly "shout-out", he has turned into a man that will turn against everything (like not eating a pickle) and everyone (me) that has helped him get to where he is. He would have ratted me out.
So, to conclude, even though it has not been proven that I was refering to you about that embarrassing incident with the saddle, if I was, I did not violate any blog-comment etiquette. There are undeniable facts that show you would have found out, and thus had the ability to defend yourself.
Wow, John. You put a lot of thought and time into that rebuttal. I'm not going to say that's a little lame but...well, I'll just leave it at that.
Also, after all the time you spent on it, you completely neglected to rebutt my very first point which was it is uncool to hate on someone who isn't already a part of the conversation. Since at the time of the hate, you were the only one in the conversation, whether it was me or someone else to whom you were referring, you still broke the code. So, I think your long-winded defense has some major flaws.
Merry Christmas, though.
