If you’ve been checking out this-here blog for any amount of time, you may have noticed one of my most frequent commenters (and biggest supporter) is a mysterious individual who goes by the name of Tar-buns.
Tar-buns is, in real life…my big sister, Terry. She has been drinking the WordPress Koo-laid for well over a year now (on this blog and all ova da place) and, I am sorry to report, it has affected her mind.
I have no other possible explanation for the fact that… starting today…wait for it… Tar-buns has a brand new groove. I’m talking about her very own blog!
Whoo hoo!
Hop on over to her place, Here & ThereSa, read her virgin post, My Green Acres Life, and share some of the love the WordPress community has shown me so many times.
(BTW, her blog name comes from the fact that her full name is Theresa and she’s going to blog about all sorts of things, both here and there. Get it? Clever, right? Her hubby thought it up, which just goes to show he’s more than just a pretty face and fantastic gardener. And if there are those who would say that MY idea for a blog name, CommenTerri, was just a tiny skosh better, well, we won’t quibble about such details on this joyous occasion.)
I’m sure she’ll have all sorts of fun and interesting things to share about life, and I can’t wait for you to meet her.
Love you, Sis!
HA HA HA HA. Nice compliment, then you zing me with that gosh-awful picture. Made me laugh, anyway 🙂
Thanks, sista, for the plug. With your millions of minions, I may get a few hits. Then, I too, can start fretting about stats and all that bloggy-stuff!

It’s an equal-opportunity gosh-awful picture, so that’s ok. Good luck with the new venture – I know you’ll do swell! Now get back to your dashboard and start obsessing about stats.

You guys are so mature, allowing each other to co-exist in the blogosphere. If it were my sister, I’d be running a line of masking tape through the center of the blogosphere and making it clear that SHE needed to stay off MY side. (Okay, yeah, me and the sister shared a room growing up and it wasn’t pretty.)

OMG – we did, too. Just don’t ever ask us to share covers again.

Share covers? Like, in the same bed? I would’ve slept on the floor instead!
LikeLike
It’s worse than you could possible imagine. We would turn away from one another, with the covers tucked under our bodies, between our legs, arms clenched – you could have bounced a baby between us! But she was (I mean, still IS) a year older and stronger and she usually won the tug-of-wool. Then I’d go tell on her.

I think we would’ve killed each other. It’s a wonder you both made it to adulthood.

Nice plug for TAR and I love that beautiful picture. Thanks for cropping it. Thanks for having me last weekend. I told TAR I had a hand in her start up because I shut-up while you 2 worked on the blogging. Are all the family secrets going to be coming out? I’m a little nervous!

I got a little too comfy over there listening to Nancy Sinatra and her boots. Welcome to the blogosphere, Tar!
Sisterly love stuff makes me rather sad and envious that I got robbed of having a sister. Instead of dating advice and second-hand bras, I got bruises and noogies.
LikeLike
Second hand bras? HA! We were only one year apart (almost) and I don’t think we did that. I never had much of a wardrobe anyway with school uniforms taking the need for dress clothes away.

That’s the nostalgia music video stuff from when you were barely a gleam in your parents’ eye. Lest you feel too left out, we had 3 brothers, too, but since they were smaller and younger for most of their lives, they only got to be a minor annoyance.

Yes, younger brothers, eh, big deal.
