Its been a few days now since Guest Birds have started landing here at For the Birds. I am both boggled and overwhelmingly flattered by the response that I have received. It’s been fun to connect with everyone in this new and interesting way… Although, I do have to come clean and admit, however, that this was not originally my idea. Bloggers have been guesting or contributing since the beginning of Blognation… But it is unusual, perhaps, for a website such as For the Birds.
It all started when I was approached by a woman that is writing an allergy cookbook for kids. Those of you that read this blog know that this is a topic that I am deeply involved with so — it should come as no surprise that I rolled out the red carpet and agreed to have the author submit a guest post in promotion of her upcoming book. We emailed back and forth – how exciting, blah blah blah… then silence. Nothing. Just my voice echoing in the caverns of the internet… I waited for two weeks and then emailed her again…
See — I am an avid scheduler. I even schedule things that have already happened. And then there is my patience and the lack there-of. So the relationship was beginning to itch a little when she responded – Next week she would be sending me her piece. Hurrah! Quick to the Internet – tell the world! And so I did … Well, either I took my wit and hit her over the head with a cinder block or Ooops, stuck my foot out and Whoops down the marble stairs she fell… Or… (read from the bottom up)
But I had already told the World Wide Web about the Guest Bird landing… I could have just deleted the post, I suppose – but no – I went the other way. I had built-up too much excitement in my mind to let this one go. Admittedly, I have grown a little tired of myself — constantly writing about myself – laying it all out there. The floodgates need a little closing before I not only bore you but also myself to death. ME ME ME ME. Not to mention that I am crazy, but not that kind of crazy, interested in who you are.
I reached out. Invited. Approached. And you accepted. Some of you I know from travels along the way and others I have just met.. So far so good and a lot of great stuff to come. Thank you!

Well, if she’s going to be like that, then the hell with her. How pretentious! It takes all kinds……your blog is great with or without her!
Wow-wee, that is really shocking that she over-reacted like that, especially considering it was her idea in the first place. Some people are so lame and your blog rocks WITHOUT her!
She’s obviously a weirdo.
UNBELIEVABLE! Well, one of the disappointing things we learn along the way is that most people are not “like us”. (For example) having employees is frustrating, depending upon other people is frustrating, people just don’t do what they say they’re gonna do… Every time this happens I think, “How do these people even make it in the world?” They’re not accountable, they don’t take responsibility. All you can do is take comfort that THE CREAM RISES TO THE TOP!
How about this, I’ve just finished revamping my childhood family favorite halloween pumpkin chocolate chip oatmeal cookie recipe to be gluten, egg, and dairy free (and oat free). I’m in love with the results. Tastes like being 8 years old again.I’ve already committed to posting it over at Designing Moms, but I’d be happy to share it here as well…Perhaps I’ve got some others rattling around that I could include once in awhile…
omg….what a B-TCH, who needs her anyway!!you are doing a great job, and i am enjoying reading everything (when i get a chance, it has been crazy over here , so i am behind on blog reading)xoxoxo
