BlogHer Buddy Intervention

According to Webster, "...a virtual intervention must be attempted when bloggers on www.BlogHer.com feel excluded from virtual dinner party invite lists and begin obsessive body improvement plans due to resultant feelings of low self esteem."

By now, if you hang out on the web like I do and have been paying attention to this week's announcement of the prestigious Laine Griffin Versatile Blogger Birthday Dinner Party Awards, you are well aware of the upset that occurred when jet set socialite and Registered Nurse, ElaineR.N., was not included in the list of award winners.

As Ms. Griffin opened each sealed envelope in turn and called out the names of the fourteen winners, everyone except ElaineR.N. was pleased as punch as they rushed the stage in their 1950's cocktail dresses, all in pastel colors with layers and layers of nylon net  beneath, to accept their awards.

 

 The sentiments of Sally Fields accepting her Academy Award
in 1980 were echoed by all fourteen Laine Griffin Versatile
Blogger Award Winners on Tuesday as ElaineR.N. tearfully
watched from the audience.

The reason I am writing now, however, is not to continue with the noisy party planning, throwing around cases of red and white wine, that is going on in comments below Ms. Griffin's post, but to warn you that an immediate group BlogHer intervention is required for ElaineR.N., as coincidentally she has begun to blog on what she claims to be, needed beach body improvements.

All this after just having written the post, "Beachin' Good Time No Matter the Size of the Bod."  In Beachin' Good time, we see a young, carefree ElaineR.N., flexible, going with the flow and loving herself, no matter the size.

But, after the Versatile Blogger Awards ceremony, we see the same ElaineR.N. commenting, after her return from the beach, "I just saw saw the photos. WHEW!! I sure have packed on the pounds over the past year. Enough is enough and I will be attending Weight Watchers in about 45 minutes. Can't believe how fat around the middle I have become. YUCH and so unhealthy."

She can't get to Weight Watchers fast enough.

Now, at great expense and inconvenience, I have been able to obtain one of the photos from Elaine's recent trip to the beach. I ask you, is there any need for her concern with body image?

I think not.

Bloggers to your keyboards! It is time to exercise your comment fingers and let ElaineR.N. know that she looks good in a bathing suit...and hat...and these crazy thoughts about her excess flab around the middle are just that: crazy thoughts.

And, furthermore, comment that she is WELCOMED to come to Laine Griffin's Virtual Birthday Dinner Party as long as she doesn't throw food and embarrass us.

Thank you for interest and your time. You will make a little Nurse very happy.  :)

How did I miss Lanie's post? Ugh, I try to check y'alls post daily.

Robin can you hear me chuckiling? Of course you can!

Well I am here now and I will bring the wine to the intervention. And Elaine you are rockin it girl!

Oh my goodness. Other than our beautiful bodies, winning smiles, curly hair, and osteoporosis (I was just diagnosed), I am more like Sally Fields than I thought!! Guess that I just want to be liked too.

While I am still a bit embarrassed after my whiney-ass display when I didn't see my name on Laine's invite roster to the dinner party of the year, I had no problem accepting her invite after snivveling and begging. What is really nice about this is that I truly believe that you all are my new friends and I am so glad to have met you. Your blog posts are a daily must read for me and my day isn't the same when I can't first thing in the morning. I am grateful for your love, friendship (who but a friend like Robin would dedicate her post to me and, better yet, make me look glam), an invite (Virginia: for sure I would sit next to you because I don't believe you would pick in public, plus you would be a fabulous dinner date), and Laine who offered to pull her post if I felt hurt.

Sorry to make myself the center of the celebration when the real winners are the recognizees. I don't know everyone on Laine's list, but I totally concur with her selections. Only other add, if I was doing this, would be LAINE!! Love the roller queen and looking forward to the moment she skates in a real competition!!

elaineR.N. OH, heck, please let me admit that if I wasn't mentioned in the list I WOULD have cried. YES, I am that big of a baby. But just because I was invited I plan to make Grand Marnier Souffles for EVERYONE!

OH, and one more thing, Elaine is my party date. So everyone else better step back. LOL!

Love and hugs to ALL,

I must agree. Elaine looks WAY stunning in that bathing suit. I am, like, totally jealous! But I shouldn't be jealous of a friend I claim to love. Right? But I will attend the intervention. I ACCEPT! This is an invite, after all. Or am I wrong? :)
