Six Degrees to Monica Lewinsky

Speaking of Bill Clinton, I know Monica Lewinsky.

But not really.

In fact, I only know her through the tangled web of my mind.

And I really believe the whole Six Degrees to Kevin Bacon thing -- we really can connect ourselves to pretty much anyone.  I decided to connect myself to Monica Lewinsky because I thought about her the other day.  And she is pretty famous in a household name-ish way.

So my cousin Greg traveled in her circles back in the day in NYC, mostly because he is kind of a hot shot.  His partner Scott also had a questionable cigar at our party over Labor Day, and that is where I drew the connection.

Cigar at a party at Scott + Greg's house = my connection to Monica Lewinsky.  Because Greg knows Monica.  And I know Greg.  And the cigar was the clincher.  Get it?

I have photographic proof of a "cigar incident," and even though Monica wasn't there per se,  there were a lot of shenanigans going on and a cigar was involved in many ways.

First off, someone in my family whose name begins with an M and ends with a om, was smoking that cigar.  And then one of my sisters may also have been smoking that cigar.  I won't go so far as to name names to protect their identities.  Since smoking cigars (or other things) isn't exactly something that either of them ever often do, and they do have reputations to uphold.  I do have the shocking photos to prove the entire incident though.  I can also prove that one (or both) of those girls and possibly my husband were dirty dancing with Scott after a few too many alcoholic beverages were imbibed.  Scott is rather hot though, so it's OK.  And we're practically family, so that makes it OK-er.  And I'm pretty sure that Greg didn't mind one bit.

So anyway, taking all of this into account: the cigar, the real live connection to Monica, the shocking behavior with the cigar at the party... one can only conclude that I sort of know or at the very least have a six degree relationship with Monica Lewinsky.

Can't one?

I am participating in Jenny Matlock's Alphabe-Thursday.  Letter S, of course. 

Hey! I said that!

So you know how I mentioned a while back one of my all time favorite mantras?  Well guess what??  Apparently, someone else believes that mantra too, and that somebody could actually be God.  Or more likely a church worker guy, because I saw it on a church billboard while I was driving through town the other day.  It was very exciting.

See?

I'm linking this favorite Quote of mine to Jenny Matlock's Alphabe-Thursday.  We are on Q.  Obviously.

A Wog down Memory Lane

Last January, one of my resolutions was to write on this blog alot more, and I really accomplished that goal.  I felt like it (this blog) was floundering and I was floundering and I just wanted this whole blogging thing to be what I wanted it to be when I started writing.  So I made an effort to post at least a few days a week and I really pretty much did it!  As the months went on, I definitely got on a roll and posted five days a week.  I certainly can't say that the content was super exciting, but well, it's definitely reflective of my life. 

Anyway, one of the coolest things about my writing more and more regularly, is that in looking back, besides the embarrassingly boring posts, I get a reminder of all of the things that really happened this past year.  I really do love having a record of it all.  Even if it is a skewed, in my perception kinda record.

So I was using this program which tells me what posts were the most popular based on the amount of hits and visits they received, so I decided to share them with you.  Because, well, I am all kinds of sharing sometimes. Even though in my opinion the results were kind of funny, because half of these posts have not one comment on them.  Of well.  As long as people care enogh to read, I am happy.

So let's take a little wog down Memory Lane...
