Heather Armstrong has quite an entertaining blog. In fact her blog is so entertaining it has become popular enough that bother she and her husband quite their "regular" jobs and now make a living entirely off of their blogging. It's rather amusing to hear here try and explain to her neighbors what it is exactly that she does:
"Over the last few weeks several neighbors have stopped by to introduce themselves, and invariably they are older than we are, more established, and have careers in medicine or law. And when they ask what we do, both Jon and I sort of flinch and exchange a quick look that says IT’S YOUR TURN TO LIE. We’re web developers, we say, and that is never enough, they just can’t leave it alone, and one of us will try to explain that I have a website. This thing. That I do. And because we’re being all coy about it I just know, from the very worried expressions on their faces, that these neighbors think that we run a porn site. And a very wicked part of me wants to tell them not to worry, it’s very tasteful porn. No fake boobs or farm animals."
Heather lives here in Utah and writes some fabulous commentary about life around here, crazy things her husband does, and things with her dog, friends, and IKEA... because IKEA is the Second Coming.
