When Mommy Bloggers Have a Playdate.
Lotus (aka- Sarcastic Mom) and I had a great time today hanging out on my couch and drinking coffee knitting hats for the needy. My 9 yr old took this picture of us looking all smiley. Is it just me or do I look like I have crazy-wildwoman-escaped-from-padded-room eyes? I think the sepia is pretty, hides my irish-girl-pastiness, but still can't fix the lunatic eyes!
Doesn't Lotus look lovely? Yep, I know, I look crazy.
So what do your favorite bloggers do when offline?
We talked about many of the questions that haunt us so-
- Why do babies poop as soon as the diaper comes off? -We all know about Braden
- Why is the super hilarious Lotus not bigger than Dooce? OK, that's my question.
- Why do we lose 20 feedreaders in a day and then they magically come back? We can't take the pressure. Where do you go? What have we done? Do we smell bad? Didn't we tell you enough how pretty you looked that day? You did look pretty, as you do now! Wow, you smell nice, too. -Um, please don't unsubscribe. We love you!
What? Oh, you wondered about the kids during the playdate?
Kids? What kids? It was our playdate.
Of Course Braden fit right into the house of happy chaos!
Love to you all, Fussy






AHAHAHAHAAA! I AM bigger than Dooce, silly! Haven't you seen her skinny bum? I think I could fit 12 Dooces inside my fat arse, woman.
We had so much fun today! Well, I'm pretty sure Braden had a lot of fun... but what's more important is that I HAD FUN!
Can't wait until I get to visit your casa again, you wonderful woman!

Dooce is one skinny beyotch, isn't she?
Here is how I feel about your playdate...JEALOUS!
Glad you two had fun, though.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand Fussy...later today, on a very special post, there will be photos of me sportin' some gorgeous BLING!!!

I always have a blast when I meet up with blog friends in real life.
I think you both look adorable in that photo :)
Posted by: Angella | December 27, 2007 at 05:55 PM
I haven't met any bloggers in the real world, yet. It looks like you both had a little too much fun
Posted by: Jennifer | December 27, 2007 at 06:02 PM
LOL! Who cares what the kids did - it's all about the mommies, right? They were probably out back setting fire to something, but at least the two of you had fun!

My husband is typing this as I am stomping on the floor, crying, and frothing at the mouth. This. Is. No. Fair. I WANT PLAYDATE, TOO!
(ok, just kidding)
How cool was this post? VERY!

Who is this Dooce person?? Does she have a blog??
Y'all look like you're having a great time. I wish I coulda' been there to watch you knit.
When you figure out the mystery of the disappearing feed readers, let me know. I am puzzled about this as well.

Antique Mommy- "Who is this Dooce person!" Love it.
To everyone else- Come to Nashville, schedule a trip, Lotus & I will pick you up at the Airport/Greyhound Station/Train Station.
Wait? Do we have a train station?

Awww, you're both adorable!
What feed reader are you using? How can you tell who subscribed to your feed, unsubscribed, etc? As far as I know, all I can do with mine is subscribe, but I have no clue how to tell who subscribed to me.

y'all are just flat out silly!
Can't wait to hang out with you again!
Hugs,

Looks like fun!
Posted by: Heather | December 28, 2007 at 08:06 AM
Love the pictures...looks like it was so fun! I know that when I get together with my best bloggy friend, we talk about some weird and sometimes shocking stuff! Your jewelry is so pretty, BTW.
Posted by: Miss Sniz | December 28, 2007 at 08:43 AM
What fun. Color me envious.
Posted by: Veronica Mitchell | December 28, 2007 at 09:32 AM
Some day, when you least expect it, Ree will stop by.
I just know it :o)

Y'all are precious!! How neat that y'all live close enough to get together! I'm so envious :-) Adorable pictures.
Posted by: Rachel | December 28, 2007 at 10:00 AM
Awesome. Glad you had fun!
Posted by: ~JJ! | December 28, 2007 at 11:19 AM

I'm going to be in your town at the end of January on my way to Indiana! We MUST have a get together!
As for feed counts fluctuating, read this

I always wondered, too!
Posted by: Jennifer | December 28, 2007 at 03:35 PM
OK, you guys are too cute!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: candace Martin | December 28, 2007 at 09:11 PM
What a great idea. Looks like the playdate was a blast! And your eyes aren't bad at all!
Posted by: Kristin | December 30, 2007 at 12:32 AM
Oh my gosh. You are both too cute! Coud we be friends IRL? You are too much fun. :^D
Posted by: nancypants | December 31, 2007 at 11:20 AM
Where did my comment go? Tomorrowland? I *said* you two are stinkin' cute!! And I'm quite sure we would be friends IRL! You look like too much fun.
I cringe to think of the playdates though... once you bring that baby home, that would be nine boys together between yours and mine. Probably good that I live too far away for a playdate. LOL :^D I'm sure they'd come up with some sort of world domination scheme whilst we were yukkin' it up.
