Paula the comment artist

It has been my pleasure to write this blog for you for years.  I enjoy writing silly things, and the only person I really try to make laugh is myself, but if others find some of this stuff fun, all the better.

Since I run the blog, I know when someone writes a comment on a post.  Recently I have been treated to some incredibly funny comments from our good friend Paula.  It seems that Paula suffers from (self-induced?) insomnia while simultaneously being blessed with the ability to write hilarious comments.  It doesn’t pain me in the least (well just a little) to point out that Paula’s comments are way funnier than the original posts themselves.  The problem is that Paula seems to be reading the back catalog of posts, and so while I see the comments, the tragedy is that most people probably wouldn’t because they are attached to posts I wrote years ago.  So, here’s a short (but happily growing) list of Paula’s comments for us all to enjoy.  Paula, please don’t stop.  I think that a feature post written by you would be a really good idea, and if anyone agrees with this idea after reading Paula’s comments, then by all means sound off in the comments here!

Paula tries to make me feel better about going bald.  And generally fails miserably.

Paula tells us a scandalous story about her Mom’s financial infidelity with the Kirby vacuum cleaner salesman.

Paula has a run-in with the authorities.  The library cops finally catch up to her on a literary crime spree.

  1. Paula, as a regular reader of the blog, I am begging you to keep up the submissions!! It is always a chuckle to read Court’s posts, and being as I am biased, I read them often and laugh lots. Coming across one of your posts is like finding an unexpected present…….it is so fun and usually worth a giggle or two!! I am sorry tho’ that you have insomnia, but yay us!!! No matter the time of day, please keep ’em coming. Who doesn’t love to find a hidden pressie every once in a while, and your posts are pressies, and so much fun!!!

  2. Courtney, ya big crazy nut. How awesome that I have a Vallentyne family fan club (thanks Mom!). But I’m pretty sure you’re the only ones who care to read the pointless ramblings of an insomniac. Besides, I could never have my own blog. I assume there is requisite technology-related knowledge that I most certainly would lack. I not only fear and loathe technology, I purposely resist change like no one you’ve ever known. I think the fact that I recently purchased a rotary phone pretty much says it all. Jason bought a cell phone for me years ago (something about trying to stay safe when I decide to go out running at midnight… but I live in Winnipeg; I’m pretty sure that when crazy Paula is out running in frostbite-inducing weather all the muggers and rapists are safely tucked in their beds like every other sane Winnipegger). Anyway, I still don’t even know the stupid cell phone number. No one has ever called me except Jason, who is just checking to see if it’s charged and readily available–which it never is.

    But thanks for being a great friend who indulges me!

  3. “Mom” is not the only member of the Paula Writes on Courtney’s blog fan club. Keep it up…

  4. C’mon Paula!!!
    I know you got it in ya! Bring it on baby!

    It would be a shame for just Court and I to get all the belly laughs from your emails. Share the wealth gf!
