Editor’s Note from Shi! Yeah, Jaynie is back. ;o) And fortunately, her sense of humor is as weird as ever. Ya know… I told her she could get snarky. I never told her that she had to blog about bunnies. Or even the weather. And she still owes me some Tim Tams.
;o) Jaynie, babe, think of it as a writing exercise. You expanded your vocabulary!

Freaken A.
When Shiloh asked me to do a guest blog, I emailed her and asked if she had any particular topics in mind. She said I could write about anything I wanted as long as I didn’t swear, or bash anyone.
I spent a moment wondering if Shi had been hit on the head, or if she’d just forgotten who I was. I mean what the freak was I going to sound like without curse words? Gosh darnit – I’m so deprived.
So then I thought maybe I’d blog about not being able to say shite-on-a-stick properly; I could whinge for hours on the injustice of it all, but most people who don’t know me wouldn’t get it. Of course, this is Shi’s blog, so maybe I could talk about her books being freaken awesome and y’all have to run out and buy a giant load of them…but I’m guessing if you read the blog then you already know that. Also, me having a conversation about Eli or Mal in PG language just wouldn’t work.
I could just talk about Shi, but then I might remember that when I finally got to the US and went to RT that I didn’t blooming get to meet her…and I don’t really want to mention RT because that might involve swearing and drinking. (editor’s note… I have no issues with drinking… matter of fact, where is MY drink…)
Next idea out of my head was that I could talk about kids. Shi has kids; I have kids. We both have three actually. Hers are gorgeous and always seem to behave well and do what they’re told. Mine are little b… I guess that idea is out, too.
What about flowers? Fluffy bunnies? Candy? I think I’m gonna freaken puke.
I’ve got it! The weather, that’s always a safe subject when you’re making small talk at cocktail parties. Of course, it used to be safer before I moved to the darn middle of the gosh-darn tropics where the weather is wet and wetter, or hot and hotter.
I think I’m going to have to tell her that I just can’t do it.

I’m back…and still the boss of Erin
