Reader’s Blog: Randi Whipple - What I Did With My Birthday Present!
Our first ever Struggle Bus Reader’s Blog comes from Randi Whipple in Portland, Oregon. Randi is a lifelong friend of Jenn’s and been aboard the Struggle Bus since its inception. We get a lot of reader emails, but Randi’s always standout as the funniest, wierdest, and most ridiculous. She has also been a frequent contributor to 5 Questions. If there was anyone who needed to be the absolute first person to write for us, it had to be her.
First I had to negotiate to get her involved. This is how it went:
Eric Prae: We are looking for a select few awesome and funny individuals to be monthly contributors. This reader’s blog would suck without you. You in?
Randi: Only if I can post my photos, drawings, art, photos of my cat in her costumes, photos of crafts I make, and photos of tiny things with weed in them…
And I want to be knighted the Official Struggle Bus Artist!!!
Eric Prae: Done
So here is Blog Post #1 in the brand new Reader’s Blog (that I assume will turn into complete chaos soon). Coming all the way from Portland, OR, I give to you the recently knighted Official Struggle Bus artist: Randi!
Reader’s Blog: What I Did With My Birthday Present
By Randi Whipple
For my birthday, my mom gave me this tiny collectible Wizard of Oz box. What else could I put in this besides weed? Then I started collecting… And collecting…
(see photos 1-3 below)
The next year she gave me a rhinestone Pirates of the Caribbean Tee, and a bottle of prescription pain pills. I think I love her…
P.S. Happy Halloween from my cat Baby Skipper, dressed up as Justin Bieber! (see photo 4 below)
