She’s No Lumberjack’s Wife

All you Fusioneers who are waiting around with bated breath for the reincarnation resurrection of Ocular Fusion into whatever-the-heck-it’s-gonna-become are no doubt starving for something good to read in my absence.

Well, never fear, my friend Jason is here. Jason, former youth minister and now associate minister and right hand man to the Big Kahuna, would be the first to tell you that he’s not afraid to explore the feminine side of things, and of course, these days, there’s no shame in that. So it was no surprise, really, that he freely admits to reading this.

He got one thing wrong, though–she’s no lumberjack’s wife. She is a self-described “Pioneer Woman,” living her days on a working ranch and journeying through life with her might-as-well-laugh-than-cry-about-it attitude. In that way, her site reminds me a lot of a middle age optometrist’s blog that I know very well.

Of course there are a few minor differences, such as her living on a working ranch, raising four kids, being married to Marlboro Man instead of Eyegal, writing an online novel that will probably some day be on the NYT‘s Bestseller List, and serving up both scrumptious recipes and soothing slices of prairie life via her lucid prose and stunning photographs. Oh, and did I mention that she has thousands of women reading and commenting on her blog? Other than those small details, you can hardly tell the difference.

Eyegal is hooked on the thing. I catch her sneaking peeks at it early in the morning and late at night. I can only imagine what goes on when I’m not here. In fact, I’m pretty sure she reads it more than she ever read mine. But, I can’t really say as I blame her.

So there you go ladies–some good stuff to tide you over until I return (notice how I worked a Bama reference in there). Guys, feel free to read it too. Don’t worry–I won’t tell. Just ask Jason.
