She (finally) did it!

Who did what? Is that what you're wondering? Well, here's a little hint: she was my very first commenter, is still my most faithful blog follower, and she once swore she would NEVER have a blog.

Yep, introducing "heathersister"...my big sis, Michelle. I say "big" loosely, 'cause I've been bigger than her since I was eleven (she's 4'11", I'm 5'7"); but she is nine years older than me, so I still say big sis.

Way back when I started my blog, I tried to talk her into creating one. She is hysterically funny, but she doesn't think so. She refused to join up, instead making an account only so she could comment on mine. Fast forward to June of this year, when SITS came to be. I called Michelle on the phone and told her to go and read Heather and Tiffany and Lula, some great bloggers I had discovered. We cracked up laughing over Heather's naked Barbie posts, Tiffany's letters to Tampax and her hot OB, and bonded over the love that is Twilight which Lula introduced us to. Eventually, Lula and Michelle became buddies, and she even tried to talk her into starting a blog, to no avail. Becky tried her best to talk her into it, and she must have worked some magic, 'cause last week, Michelle told me she (finally!) wanted me to help her set up her very own blog. Yay!!!

Thanks again to Lula for the Twilight book, 'cause that was the bait I needed to lure Michelle over to my house tonight. While she was over, she decided to go ahead and get set up on Blogger. She made her first post tonight, and is excited to work on adding some more features. She's already got the SITS button, and a fair warning from me on the addiction that is blogging.

Would y'all go and give Michelle some comment love, and start the process of getting "hooked"? Her blog name is "Tales from the Lunchroom"...appropriate since she works in the cafeteria at my niece's school. She is going to have some great tales to tell!
