Bertha's Banalities is Born!

So Amy, my beloved partner in crime, fun and Modern Mermaids, has decided to goof on me by saying I finally gave birth to the Bertha Blog. What she doesn't realize is that's it's something to do as most days I sit in my pj's and flirt with men online while she thinks I'm working. All the research, writing, PR, etc is just a farce as I thoroughly expect to spend the rest of my days here in Ft Lauderdale in my "glorified hotel room" size condo that we attained at the height of the Florida boom and now will never be able to dump. She thinks I'm content to continue driving my five year old Honda (instead of the Lexus Hybrid I dream about) and never really get this company off the ground.
But I am also scheming to find out just what Donny Deutsch likes in a woman......ah, guest for his show. People say to us weekly "You and Amy have to go on The Big Idea! You're like the Nantucket Nectars guys or Ben and Jerry!" Well, that's great people. KNOW HOW??? Cuz we'll go, we really will if invited. Amy claims that he would just have to like us because he wears a Nantucket bracelet and we're from Cape Cod. And we also hear that he'd just have to have us on the show because our business is Eco-friendly (and thank you, Al for ruining our originality and bringing about this horrible "green movement"), we are two women who are childhood friends who started a company and someone knows someone who knows Donny's dog.
So here I sit, wondering why I'm up at 5:30 in the morning writing banalities (I knew it was a good name) because it's (oh the realization) fun! And I don't know if anyone besides the friends and family that we force will ever read them but it's still fun.
Now back to Amy....as much as she needs editing, the fact that this blog has been born is purely her doing. She's an Aries and Oh My God, is always "out there" doing something. She's a cross between Martha Stewart and a Hungarian slave.....I'm not even sure what that means but she can take anything and make it beautiful, scrub a toilet, throw a dinner party, yell at her kids and it's only 1 in the afternoon! But on the other hand her ADD has brought us from having a few very solid eco-friendly products for home cleaning to having a teenage soap line, a tween product line, a surfer line and developing a product that eliminates illegal immigrants from Florida....right! I, on the other hand, am an anal retentive Virgo who will self chastise and redo everything over and over (in fact started this blog in March) and drives Amy absolutely crazy. But one of us needs to know how to spell! And while she's creating more products I'm trying to figure out if we know anyone who knows anyone who knows Donny Deutsch......

Donny Deutsch - isn't that the character Johnny Depp played about the cop who infiltrated the mob? I think he's in the witness protection program so good luck finding him.
