Aw, Shucks...


I was reading my Yahoo mail the other day and came across an email that really made my day.

"I just love your blog!"

Aw, shucks, thanks.

"I've been a lurker for months, and this is the first time writing to you."

Well, that's always nice to hear.

"Keep up the great work; I really enjoy the chuckles you provide."

Gosh, you're making me blush now.



Wow, what a nice surprise. Who the heck was this from, anyway? I look at the signature.

All the best, Maureen

Cool! Another Maureen! It's not like that name is popular.

at I'd Rather Be Blogging.com

Oh, crap.


I was reading my SENT folder, not my INBOX.

....sigh....

To Maureen from your "in"box:

I love your blog and I think you're great and I've been reading for months and I probably haven't commented enough and I like your writing and your template and you.

Love, Not Maureen

A Man Among Mommies said...

LOL!!!

An I thought I was becoming a bit loopy without sleep...

Doing a little lunchtime blog hopping while 7.5yo is at school, 3.5 yo, Baby and mom are napping... Shhhh....

Jen said...

I really do love your blog, and I'm not Maureen, either. ;-)

Curly Glamour Girlie said...

Now that gave me a chuckle!!

Anonymous said...

OH! Funny!! I bet (even if you were alone in the house) that you looked around to make sure no one noticed that you did that.

Maureen said...

Procrastamom: Aw, thanks “Not Maureen”… :D You’re much too kind. I think I’m gonna print off your comment and keep it with me so when I feel down I can read it again to get a huge ego boost…

A man among mommies: I only WISH I could blame my idiotic behavior on lack of sleep or children, but I can’t. It just comes naturally…

Ladybanana: Easy for me, especially!

Jen of a 2eatwrite: Aw, shucks, thanks… ;)

Curly glamour girlie: Glad I can amuse others. I only embarrass myself and my daughter.

Busydad: How the heck did you KNOW??? You got a webcam on me or something? Yeah, I can’t believe I get more stupid with each passing year (or day, it seems).

I think the most embarrassing thing about this was that I didn’t even recognize my own letter to another blog owner… geez…

Ed & Jeanne said...

Well thank goodness you hadn't criticized the hell out it!!

Stephanie said...

Sometimes that happens to me, but its my inbox. Before I open it I always think "Ooh, a comment from someone named Stephanie!" Then I realize I was just responding to a comment on my own blog. Although the other day I got an email and it was from M.E., for some reason that kinda freaked me out.

Ann(ie) said...

HA! Totally something I'd do!!!

Irene said...

That's so cute, that you did that! It makes you even more adorable than you already are.

Unknown said...

Oh no! But that is pretty funny nonetheless. BTW - I adore your blog and think you're great! I can even email you my praise if you'd like!

Christine said...

I enjoy your blog, and check it every day. You've made me laugh. You've made me smile on a lousy day.

Christine (Rhymes with Maureen)

Heather said...

LOL

Well, if it helps your feelings, I read your blog everyday and always get a laugh out of your entries. So, keep up the good work! :)

Janet said...

Hey, a compliment is a compliment, regardless of the source.

Just say thank you and move on!! ;-)

I do love your blog, though!

♥♥♥ A- Licious ♥♥♥ said...

To Maureen's /inbox/

I love your blog and I will be lurking as long as you will have me!

You make me giggle. [tee hee hee hee]

;o)

A-Licious xoxoxooxox

LunaNik said...

LMAO...that's too funny!! something I would totally do!

Rachel said...

Maureen,
that is a riot! I needed this laugh so bad and you provided it! Thank you a million times, thank you!

Hee Hee Hee! I would probably do the same thing :-) LOL.

Phoenix5 said...

That was funny! Of course we are laughing WITH you, not AT you, aren't we?

I, too, enjoy reading your blog. You have a very easy-to-read writing style, and obviously, a good sense of humour!

Have a happy weekend!

Maureen said...

VE: Oh, I would NEVER do that… EXCEPT to myself; then it would have been a dead giveaway!

Stephanie: Heh, heh… an email from “M.E.”… that’s funny!

Ann(ie): :D

Sweet Irene: Awwww, you’re such a wonderful person, Irene. I so enjoy your blog, so I am very touched by your comment. Thank you!

Huckdoll: I adore your blog too! No email praise necessary; my cup runneth over here… which wasn’t my intention when I wrote the post!

Christine: So sorry to hear you’ve had a lousy day. Here’s hoping it gets better; and I am so glad I could give you a chuckle!

Heather: Aw, thanks so much!

JP: This is true! I love your blog too (especially Feline Fridays!)

A-Licious: Thank you! And you can lurk as long as you want… or until I bore you to tears… ;)

Lunanik: Heh… I am so sorry to hear that!!! ;)

Rachel: Aw, thanks… glad I could put a smile on your face!

Phoenix5: Of course! Actually, I am very used to being laughed AT as well, so no matter… Thanks so much for your comments; I always wonder if I make ANY sense when I write. Have a great weekend too!

Jenn said...

That's classic! At least you know your comments were probably well received ;)

Amy said...

Oh hilarious!! Hey if you don't love yourself, who will ;)
I'm new to your blog but I love what I've read so far! And I think you're great!

Lol, and keep 'em coming! ^-^

Looking forward to reading more while I'm supposed to be writing my novels...

V said...

I love your blog!!! I just found it and it's great? This is the first time I've ever commented and I already feel as if I haven't commented enough! I love your writing. By the way, how'd you get your template? It's great! I hear yah - I'm not married yet but I help with my sister's babies. Argh! She never has time to do ANYTHING. I'll definitely tell her about your site - she'll be your #1 fan! ;D
Oh, yeah, I thought I might mention that this is NOT Maureen. :D Just a regular female who adores your site!

Maureen said...

Aw, Jaime, thank you so much (blushes). Coming from a REAL writer, it is high praise indeed!

LOL V! I had to chuckle at that last line. You are too kind; thank you. It is incredible to receive such a wonderful compliment. All the best and Happy New Year!
