I was SO honored to have Canewife from 3 Pugs & a Baby hold my hand through the whole blog making process. I hope she credits herself with my success (because she should. She rocks.). If it were not for her, I think I would have just kept plugging away at my cooking blog (which is dusty) and never started writing or designing again. I had other blogs, but I didn't keep at them. I didn't know how to get my blog out there, to garner readers outside of the social circle I was in. Thanks to Canewife, I discovered the blogosphere.
I joined SITS. I joined Bloggy Moms. I joined a host of other sites. I started doing Friday blog hops. Then I started my Friday "Best Scoop of the Week". She was my first guest feature, and honestly the whole credit to the name belongs to her because I gave her a couple of name options and asked her which was most catchy. Obviously you know what her choice was. I found a picture of some ice cream that Idecided worked, and voila...The Best Scoop of the Week was born.
And guess what? Today, I am reposting the deliciousness that is Canewife, from my very first ever Best Scoop of the Week (and she has grown so much over the past year herself, that you REALLY MUST stop in and check her blog out.):
Jenn will make you laugh til your sides hurt. She will make you drool with her delectable temptations. She's like the sunshine that bursts through the clouds after a downpour of rain. She's a mom, a wife, a writer. She is a Dolphins fan married to a die-hard Jets fan. She is 100% Drama Mama approved. Scoop seal of satisfaction and all. Lastly, she is a superwoman. I'll let her tell you more about her superpower...
"It's kind of funny that The Drama Mama asked me to share my thoughts on the superpower I would want and what I would do with it.
Just the other night, MacGyver and I were watching X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and I made the comment that if I was Wolverine's love interest (I never did catch her name), I would be pretty darn pissed. After all, everyone else had super cool power - like wolverine talons sprouting from knuckles, or the ability to keep a lightbulb powered without electricity.
And all she had was, essentially, the power of persuasion.
It falls a little flat, in comparison.
But then, as I pondered The Drama Mama's challenge, I changed my mind. I mean, it would be super cool to fly or shoot fire from my eyes, but that could get old really fast. And can you imagine all the "friends" who would come crawling out of the Facebook woodwork?
"Hey, my boss pissed me off. Can you shoot fire from your eyes at him?"
"Listen, my husband is really annoying me. I bet if you shot fire from your eyes, he would step up."
"I know we didn't really get along in high school, but I heard you can shoot fire from your eyes. Can you show me?"
And that would just be all kind of awkward.
But the power of persuasion... The ability to convince someone to do something with just a touch of your hand or a long glance.
Can you imagine?
So that's what I would want. If for no other reason than to be able to put my hand on MacGyver's shoulder and say "Greg Camarillo is your bromance. Rex Ryan makes you physically ill. The color gan-green makes you nauseous. And you love singing the Miami Dolphins #1 song at every given opportunity." And have him believe me.
Also, it would be really handy for tantrums and political debates.
And now you know.
The Drama Mama also asked me to direct you all to a few of my favorite posts from three pugs & a baby.
Here they are, in no particular order:
