A new favorite!

Hello, blogpeeps. Meet my newest blog addiction - Diary of a Spinster Aunt. Her name is Hannah, and she is one of the funniest people I've had the pleasure to unearth on the blogosphere lately. She's only been blogging since last year, which makes it possible (if you are as obsessive as I am) to read through her entire blog in one sitting, in one day. Hey, give me a break - I worked a 12 hour shift today! The Spinster Aunt gave me my best moments during that twelve hours - I laughed out loud a couple of times, and my coworkers gave me the crazy side-eye. It was totally worth it.

Of course, as with any new blogger, I always look for things we might have in common, whether personality-wise or things we've actually done/said/seen/heard/thought/snorted. Here are a few I found with Hannah:

1. We've both read (and loved) the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon, Harry Potter, and Pride and Prejudice.

2. We both have cats.

3. We both live (or have lived in) places where things being broken or wonky is de rigeur.

4. We both use words like "lest" and "swoon" in modern conversation. As often as possible. Especially in front of people that it will annoy, and double-especially in front of people who have to go and google it to find out what it means.

5. I once drank beer while eating Oreos. She drank gin and juice in a claw-footed tub while reading circulars. Thing is, she posted a picture of herself doing this, which makes her so much cooler than me. Or it makes me so much smarter than her. Probably both.

6. We both regularly wear crazy pajama pants around the house with semi-normal upper body wear.

7. We are both unafraid to make complete fools of ourselves at parties and weddings, and if a microphone is involved, so much the better.

8. We both look on houseplants as members of the family, and have chosen to leave dead plants in their containers for abnormally long periods of time rather than admit they actually died.

9. We both have a weakness for smutty romance novels featuring men in kilts. I married one. (That would be a man in a kilt, not a smutty romance novel.) I highly recommend it!

10. We both regard our interior decorations as a valid method of expressing our derision for actual interior design.

Go check out her blog, and please drop in and say hello with a comment. Her box is empty.... and also, no one's leaving comments. Hahahaha! Spinster humor!
