    Aw shucks, thanks! Yay — new book on the way :) Um, so don’t cross her. Finally some good news! Wow, yes Erin, you are a troublemaker, but this reaction is ludicrous. Watch out for this amazing, strong, resilient mom. I heart her. And I reviewed a cute book for moms on my review site.

    Lisa at Clusterfook is living in the present — are you? For sure, women need something for themselves. The last line made me snort coffee out my nose! Good gravy, is it just me, or is this dress really beautiful? Yes, balance is good, but it’s important for women to get a seat at the…

  • So why did J&J send me to New Jersey anyway?

    As promised, I’m updating you lovelies on my hilarity-filled trip back East courtesy of Johnson & Johnson. Approximately 56 bloggers converged on poor, unsuspecting New Brunswick, New Jersey for “Camp Baby.” (I can’t really comment on any of the pre-hoopla controversies since my arrangements went very smoothly, but head over to CityMama, Queen of Spain…

    Whoo hoo! “gone” — and we can all exhale. I’m still laughing about this. Bonus: correct usage of the phrase “grinding rectal ache.” Erin. You rock that press pass. You’re a force. I love any recipe that begins with a whole jar of honey. Agreed. There is something wrong with the idea of plumping your…

    “…right on track…” I’m exhaling just a little bit. Fingers crossed (almost to the snapping point) for the next couple of weeks. Ditto. I’m not a fan of celebrity-bashing. Just because they’re in the public eye doesn’t mean they aren’t people. There’s a Santa backlash? Give me a break, people. What about the magic of…

    Are you a Drupal goddess? Please go chat with Wendy. SNORT! (At our house the answer would be “legos”) Hell yeah. (And this is probably the last GRIT post until after Thanksgiving. I’m taking a break to do absolutely nothing :)

    Me too!!! I love surprises :) Hey, check out Sonia‘s new TV show!! How cool is that? An interesting question for parents. And here’s another one. I’m pretty sure Magoo and Chip are related. And Robbie and Mike are related to all of these children. You had me at Grandma Crotch.

    Toy recall: Small World Wood Puzzles for choking hazard. FYI. This is very sad news. Always go with your heart. Go throw her some beads. Of course, this wouldn’t be discovered when spelling something like C-A-N-D-Y. “I will try to make my purchases more “Eleven friendly” in the future.” (And I had so much fun…

    I’ve wondered about clipgator myself. I don’t think much of them so far, and you can see my comments on this post for more… Um yeah, cram it. To me Second Life is just another part of Teh Internet that I don’t understand, but QoS is all over it. As for me (Jane Jackalope), I…
