What?!? Two Posts In One Day? This Must Be Important! (which is to say “Please Read.”)

by Leslie

A week or so ago I recieved an e-mail from my friend Amanda that went a little something like this:

Hey Leslie,

I am looking for someone to help out with a few reviews per month over at http://www.amomsreview.com and I thought of you first.

Here is how it would work….stuff stuff stuff and more stuff.

Let me know if you are at all interested.

Thanks,

Amanda

This is what I read:

Leslie,

I am looking for someone to help out with a few reviews per month over at http://www.amomsreview.com and I thought of you first. Because you are an amazing writer and I know you could add a whole new dimension to this thing we call “reviews.” With your fantastic wit and irresistible charm, you could take feedback to the next level. Then, companies will be knocking down our doors to have you to write about their products and visitors will flock to the site in droves to hear you wax eloquent about bathroom deodorizers and breakfast cereal.

I think this may be your life’s calling. Let me know if you are at all interested.

Please, please, please say yes,

Amanda

And I did say yes. Right after I hopped and skipped around the dining room table declaring to my family that I got a “writing gig,” and did the robot as I repeated “writer in demand” in my electronic robot voice.

Today, my first review is up. Please, go check it out.

I’m sure that Amanda totally meant every word that you added to her email. And CONGRATS on the new writing gig. I’ll be looking for your book soon.

LOL. I wish I could have said it that good.

With you aboard, I’m sure all of the above will come true. BTW, I hope Lexus or Apple knocks on our doors first!

I’m so lucky to have found your blog online. ok, I’m a mess!

Congrats, Leslie! And yes, of course I knew who you were when you posted on my anorexia thing I’m hooked on My Mommy’s Place now!

And I agree, our kids have to just grow up happy. I may e-mail you later on more about your comments - they really touched me on many levels.
