A story about Mary-LUE and "Life, the Universe and Everything."

Me: Just introduce me and I'll introduce you.
Mary: But what do I say?
Me: Just write about me as you perceive me to be from my posts in my blog ... plus here's a little additional info.

Well it sounded like a simple plan but Mary-LUE caught on to how challenging it really is before I did. One thing that's challenging is that she's on the West Coast and I'm on the East. About the time her day is revved up good, mine has ended. So we're asking questions of each other and receiving answers in a very nonrhythmic fashion which is inconvenient for both of us but kind of amusing too ... because it's forcing us to be creative with the info we have. Which for me is painful. I want to ask one more question but she's still fast asleep or maybe rushing through her morning (8:30am for me is 5:30am for her.)

Mary knows what her blog is about ... Life, the Universe and Everything. I admire this because it took me forever to get to the point that I could even come close to defining the purpose of my own blog. Ok let's get down to it ... I'm outright envious of people who just know: "Oh my blog is about ...."

I've enjoyed Mary's blog because she is compassionate as an educator (I was not born a coal miner's daughter) and as a friend & mother (Miscellany only compassionate people see raisins the way she does and takes on extra kids so friends can have FUN). Even as a wife she manages to see the humor A Brief History of Time.

Mary gives credit where credit is due. As evidence, I submit her entire blog. If she references anything at all, you have the link! No extra research required on your part. No taking her at her word ... unless you want to.

Mary has no hesitation about sharing her faith as it applies to her daily life – in an "oh by-the-way, today I was talking to my friend and we were talking about ... God." Sleeping with Bread Monday: for a Lifetime

Mary's writing skills floor me. Just give her one little glimmer of an idea ... and she will turn it into something very creative. Mary enjoys taking advantage of memes. One of my recent faves is Now and Then Part II.

Mary is socially daring. Not only does she particpate in memes, she also created a meme! Which I find to be a very brave, brave act. Yes, I know you find that humorous considering my building of alliances, but trust me, it's different ... really ... it is! Mary's over at The Daily Meme competing for attention with other memes and all she gets for a tool is one description. Then she has to set the example and hope that others just show up to keep her company. If no one had shown up for my alliance idea, I could have ... you know ... ignored that post ... casually deleted it in the future ;) ... but with a meme ... you're on record ... big time.

Mary's description of her meme: Sleeping with Bread.

Mary has a "Links" section on her blog. I wanted to ask her what they meant to her ... why she chose them. But, as I've mentioned ... the time being what it is ... and lack being the mother of creativity ... I've decided to invite Mary to come over to my blog's comments and promote their importance. (all or a portion – her choosing). LOL and here she thought she was through writing for the intro. ;)
