KJ Purchases a Snuggie™ & a Pointless Blog is Born

So I have been trying to figure out a smart, witty approach to kicking off this blog, and have come to two conclusions: 1.) Do not try to be smart, you end up sounding like a self-important snob and 2.) Do not try to be witty, you end up sounding like a self-important snob.  Truth is, there is no real purpose behind this project aside from the fact that we (KJ and myself)  have been talking about a writing collaboration for quite some time, but faced an unexpected 4-year roadblock (I will eventually explain).  And who knew that after 4-years of sharing sporadic "We Must Write!" conversations over spinach and feta omelettes, the barrier would be broken once KJ announced on Facebook that she is the proud owner of a Snuggie™.

Who shot J.R.? Why Snuggie™?  I have no clue, nor do I care.  Maybe it was the hope that the "Super-slim, totally portable Book Light" was indeed her gift with purchase, providing proper illumination for sleepless nights of blog contribution.  Or maybe it was the hope that if such a laughably ridiculous item is actually thriving during a time of economic demise, maybe--just maybe--accounts of our laughably ridiculous antics may also be well received.

So welcome to our blog: a little bit of this, a little bit of that (translation, a little bit of everything about nothing) anecdotes, observations, reflections and more, best enjoyed with a sense of humor and no expectations.  

And FYI- Snuggie™ this is not your moment to turn the aforementioned self important snob, as you are nothing more than the comfortable offspring of a poncho and airplane-blanket; In my opinion, KJ should have donned a sweatshirt and opted for the Magic Bullet.

Enjoy.
