I’m Having a Hot Steamy Love Affair

By Lynne @lynneknowlton

With blogs and twitter.

A flat-out CRUSH.

 I am crushing on social media.

 Uhhm, and Paris.

*

{ More on that later}

*

Pleazzz admit it. You do to.

Don’t make me confess it go it alone , my friends.

*Can’t we just confess this little secret together ??*

During this wee blog/twitter convo, I am throwing in some Paris pix.

I know you kids like pictures.

Weirdo’s.  Ok, me too.

We might be besties now.

I am also a little JACKED UP ON MY EXCITEMENT level.

I am, after all, in PARIS with my gal pal Norma from

 My Beautiful Paris.

Do you freakin’ believe it?

PINCH ME, PINCH ME NOW.

Ok, don’t really, that would hurt.

I AM IN SUCH UTTER BLISS

I FEEL THE CONSTANT URGE TO TYPE IN CAPS

{ NON STOP}

Now that I have distracted you with Paris, let’s get back to social media.

Have you drank the social media Koolaid yet?

Geeze Louise I have to teach you everything.

{Insert smile,  you know I’m kidding }

NOT.

Smarten up.

Just in case you are behind the eight ball,

remember – it is never too late.

 It is too late to fit into your skinny jeans from high school,

but it is not too late to jump on the social media band wagon.

Jump on, it is a great ride !!

If I can learn how to order wine speak french,

 you can learn how to navigate the social media road.

P.s. This next photo was from a road trip in France with my bud @MyBeautifulPari.

 Yes, this is DORA THE EXPLORER on top of the car !! :

How hilare is that?!!

Get on the crazy road trip of social media …..especially BLOGS AND TWITTER.

Don’t be ‘FRAID.  Put on your big girl panties and go for it.

Unless you are a guy.

Don’t put on the big girl panties.

That would be gross.

If you do, I don’t want to hear about it.

Now I am going to have the spend the rest of my time writing this blog post trying to get THAT visual out of my head.

And , now you are too.

Sorry.  Oops.  My Bad.

*

Ok…on to the intimate relationship discussion.

If you are a fellow blogger, you know what I am talking about.  You spend your waking hours thinking in blog segments.

  You think of it in the shower, in the bath…you name the place.

There is no rhyme or reason, it just happens everywhere.

*

 Like an affair.

Bad ass.

*

In twitter, you live your life thinking in 160 characters or less.

You even have thoughts where you start to wonder if you could actually complete an entire sentence in real life.

Whaaaat??! I can talk in a complete sentence ?!!

Whooo Nelly.  Stop the train.

I don’t need to write a paragraph squished into a 160 character box?!!

Are you having a blog romance?

Maybe you even have multiple blog partners?

Do you spend your free time hours trolling blogs and twitter?  ……Exploring new decor ideas, learning some techy stuff, drooling over pinterest pictures, traveling around the world and back again…and you haven’t even left your house ??

Are you still in your pajama’s, and drinking 12 cups of coffee?

Welcome to my world.

 If you haven’t tried leaping into social media circles, you should.

You too can have a flat-out naked romance with bloggers and twiends.

 It is exhilarating.

Blog reading ( and writing ) and twitter support is like screaming BINGO in the bingo hall.

Yes, I like BINGO.

~

 Shut up.

You make some pretty great friends out there.

 { Dear Mom…See….I have ONE friend *_*.}You can see my happy dance here……***

Truth is, I am having several blog love affairs.

I am only going to confess about one {at a time}

Baby steps, my friends, baby steps.

Let me introduce you to  Amanda from BullFrogs and BullDogs.

She is part of a beautiful community of bloggers.

 Bloggers not only send out ahhhmazing info but they also encourage and support each other.

 It is a total love fest.

 I encourage you to go out there and be promiscuous with your blog reading/and/or writing.

 Go out and slut it up in the blog -o- twitter – sphere.

Wanna know what my bloggie friend said about me?

  I am going to tell you.

 Because this is my blog and I am in charge here *_*.

 I am going to write about ME today.

This is only going to happen once in 2012.

Then, that’s it.  That’s all you get.

 The rest of the year will be about home design and decor ideas.

Bullshit.  You know I lie.

I wanted to write about my fellow blogger Amanda because

It is not everyday that someone steps up and sticks their neck out and screams :

YOU ARE THE ICING ON MY CAKE.

YOU ARE THE BUTTER ON MY BREAD.

YOU HAVE JUST WON A MILLION DOLLARS.

Ok, that didn’t happen, but something really kind did.

Amanda said some really nice things about me.

I am seriously considering kissing her.

Suddenly I am starting to think that this is how you win friends and influence people.

 Actually maybe not.

I didn’t read that book.

 Don’t listen to me.

Technically, it is my job to rid the household ugly.

Or at least take a good swing at trying

….and look…

now I can help you to make friends, influence people and fall flat-out in love with BLOGGERS. *So. on to my brag fest.  One day. Today is it*

Well, technically this isn’t bragging.

 Someone else did the bragging.

 I just copied and pasted it.

And bragged it.  Forgive me. Read it.

 Then go frame it and hang it in a prominent place in your house.  Like right over the mantle piece.

{Right beside your Elvis Presley poster}

I know you have one.

NOTE : Get ready to highlight ~ copy ~ paste.

This will make it easy to then get these words printed into a full-sized poster format.

I am visiting your house next week and checking out your mantle.

There is a test later on this.

*_*.

Here is a wee excerpt from my friend Amanda at BULLFROGS AND BULLDOGS Blog:

**********************************************************************

Today’s Feature Friday is a blog that is a little of this and a lot of that, a woman who is courageous and chooses to take on life by finding the funny in absolutely everything.

DESIGN THE LIFE YOU WANT TO LIVE , is a blog by Interior Designer Lynne Knowlton.

One of the reasons I love her blog goes so far beyond the title. Lynne has one of the most honest and humorous outlooks on life that I have come by in quite some time. She is kind of like an insta-best-friend by the way she let’s you into her life as well as how she responds to yours.She writes by the seat of her pants, exactly what’s in her heart and I believe that is the ticket.  She’s honest and real.So here are 10 reasons why I read Lynne’s blog and truly believe you should too!

10. She makes me laugh out loud

9.  She is easy to relate to

8.  I really enjoy her style of writing

7.  She has an adult tree house…I mean, come on, how cool is that?

6.  She lived in Paris, my all time most favorite place in the world.  Take me with you next time won’t you, Lynne?

5.  She has some of the most creative blog post titles I’ve ever seen.   ie: How To Be A Blog Hussy

4.  She is as authentic as authentic can be

3.  She puts herself totally and completely out there for you to get to know her

2.  She chooses to look cancer straight on and tell it to kiss her ass .

And drum roll please….

NUMBER ONE… She has a beautiful soul that shows through her writing. She’s one of the good ones!

Some of my favorite posts are: Have a Dream? My goal is to have our house published~oh how dreamy that would beUp in the Tree house with a FriendDear Cancer, You Can Kiss My Ass,

************************************************************************

Dear Amanda,

A BIG FAT THANK YOU shout out to you for sending the love.

Right back atcha, sista.

 Watch out….I may, in fact, kiss you.

Now, to everyone else

…..LISTEN UP…..

Who are you going to pay it forward to today?

I wanna hear about it.

 I want proof.  In writing.

Will you share some links to your favorite blogs??

I am ok with multiple blog partners.

I will fill my coffee cup a little more full, and have a good read.

- Share with sugar bear -

Be good.  If only for today. 

 ~ Later Gaters ~

I am off to hits the streets of Gay Paree.

It is the city of romance.

Why can’t it be the city of blog romance too?

With love from Paris,

LYNNE
