I was trying to come up with a title that would combine three separate things… It was supposed to sound like a fortune cookie with that “in bed” ending – but I have to admit…it’s pretty pathetic.
So I’ll get to the point.
First – one of my Materialistic Monday posts on beds is featured on myilive’s Local Days blog today. So go check it out!
Second – I thought I’d let you know that myilive is currently running a $1,200 DC shopping contest. You just have to write about your worst shopping experience in 200 words or less. This is open to anyone – so you don’t need a blog (and I don’t think you have to be a DC resident – but living in the area would probably facilitate the shopping spree…) Visit myilive for details!
Third – I’m having blogger’s remorse over my Underdogs Unite website. It was supposed to be ironic (Hang on! I’m being ironic and featuring pictures of an old school cartoon character…does this make me a hipster? What do you think Prada?), but I was also serious about hearing from other Underdogs and featuring them. Since no one has sent me any requests in 24 hours, I’m probably just going to take it offline and file it under, “we will never speak of this again.” So if I don’t hear from anyone in a week, Underdog will officially leave the building. No idea what I’m talking about? Read this.
Other than that, my week is off to a lovely start with a birthday (Oliver turned four yesterday) and a lot of vomit. Eleanor is sick. So I’ll report more on that tomorrow. Which means there will be a token picture of Oliver in his birthday crown, and 1,000+ words devoted to puke. Because seriously – I know what the people want.
I do love a good puke story!
I hate puke stories, but that’s because I’m a wimp with a baby who hasn’t puked (yet).
That’s so neat that your featured on myilive!
And I’d say give it time – it’s only been 24 hours, and those include a Monday. Mondays suck – people are super busy on Mondays so they may not be reading blogs or have time to nominate themselves. If you’re really uncomfortable, go ahead and delete in a week, but I’d say give it a few weeks or even a month. Maybe just don’t mention it on your blog — but as you (and by now your readers) probably could have guessed – I was planning on mentioning it on my blog too! ha!
And finally – I hope you win that shopping spree – how fabulous would that be!
Oh goody, a puke story! I can totally relate to those. I was so horrified when my poor son had his first stomach flu a few months ago and puked five times throughout the evening (stupid me changed the sheets every time thinking it was the last time). It was a totally Aliens experience.
I can’t wait. :)
Puke- one of the many P’s inspiring TMI Thursdays…
Hope your week gets better, love!
Yummy puke. Right before I’m going to make dinner.
I’m trying to be an underdog but I couldn’t even nominate my blog for an award yesterday because I couldn’t get the site to work. Does that make me more of an underdog or just pathetic?
The underdog idea is a good one, definitely give it more than a day! It’ll catch on. Everyone loves a good underdog story!
It’s too early to tell if you’re a hipster. Time for a pop quiz:
1) Have you ever lived in Brooklyn?
2) Do you have a large record collection in 2009?
3) Do you refuse to eat cupcakes b/c they are sooooo over?
(PS: thanks for the mention!)
You haven’t lived til you’ve cleaned up puke hurled from the top bunk!
One tip from an old pro is to keep a bucket next to the bed and get it under the little sick one’s chin the minute you hear the telltale gags. No muss, no fuss.
1000 words devoted to puke? Awesome.
No thank you to the puke story witnessed to many :)
Puke stories are always fun.
Ah, the joys of writing about projectile puke! How could I forget? Do take care of yourself too!
Okay, I tried voting again, but nothing! I’ve emailed them and nothing! Do they hate Canadians??
I hope your kids feel better soon! We just got through the flu here.
I hope your clan feels better soon. Dont take down the site yet! It will catch on, I am too lame to be nominated for anything… or maybe not quite as famous. Either way the site rocks! Give it time!
cant wait for the Puke/Birthday story!
There are not many things worse than a child with a GI bug. Can’t wait to hear all the tales!
Happy Birthday to Oliver – I love 4 it is the greatest age!! Puke stories are always good, i have plenty that i could tell, like the time Andrew threw up all the way into the bathroom and then decided he was done when we reached the toliet, good times.
FranticMommy Underdog checking in. No one puking here…YET.
