Get your Internet leg humping RIGHT HERE! Yes, it’s a little early, not Wednesday yet, at least in my part of the world. It’s Wednesday somewhere, right??
First off, you all were too kind about my red shoes. There sure were a lotta comments about my shoes. I’m tempted to post about each outfit I’m wearing next week seeking approval. I guess LOTS of us will be wearing red shoes, THOSE shoes even. Check out this post by Loralee, she posted about those EXACT shoes awhile back.
This week’s Site o’ the week is Stimeyland! I love this blog and her sense of humor. Please go check her out, then come back and tell me how much you love my shoes again. Kidding. No I’m not. Yes I am.
I owe Cathy an ass-ton of money for some Cards/Cubs tickets. I wonder if she’ll forgive my debt for the this link love?? Just kidding, Cathy. I’m coming to Chicago with my dollar bills to hand you under the table!
Casey wrote a post about moms as superheroes. The whole mothering gig DOES become more second nature with time. I would never have believed that two and half years ago and crying with my colicky son and feeling more helpless and alone than I’d ever felt in my life. But here it is, two kids later, and I’ve survived so far. On the same token, we may be superheroes, but damn if it isn’t sometimes SO FREAKING HARD that we feel like we’re drowning.
Feeling jealous you’re not going to BlogHer? You’re not alone. I was insanely jealous last year that I wasn’t able to go and had my own Fantasy BlogHer.
Ever heard of a three-year-old that knows about cannibals? Me either.
I keep seeing pomegranates everywhere and I’m intrigued, but had NO IDEA how one would go about eating one of these fruits. The seeds, the rind, ALL OF IT confused me! Not anymore, thanks to this handy dandy pomegranate eating tutorial that I stumbled upon!
If you’re a WordPress user, you MUST get this plugin! It allows you to reply to comments in the comments section and the person is emailed your reply! SO COOL. I LOVE that I can reply to comments and other’s can see what I said. Great way to keep a conversation going in the comments section.

Yeah! Thanks for the link – but um, isn’t today Tuesday? Or am I losing it. If it’s Wednesday that Quinn missed his last day of summer camp. Wait – it’s Tuesday…right? I don’t know what day it is! Hello Summer!

Fast Fact: It is Wednesday in New Zealand…they are 24hours in the future from the USA. A friend’s mom lives in NZ and we ask her often how the future is and how our days went.

I actually meant for this to publish tomorrow. Oops. I had to add in that part about it being Wednesday somewhere!

Cathy, I hate to say this. I don’t think NON WordPress users can use plugins. It’s only for those of us who are special.
Sorry Blogger folk.

Thanks for the link. And I will definitely see you at Blogher..next year. I have to take the MCAT this year on one of the days . But I am so bummed. Also, I don’t remember if I commented about the shoes or not. But I love them. I love red shoes, period. And I’m downloading the plugin ASAP.

Ooooooh! You’ve made me a very happy blogger. Thank you! I had to go check to see what was at the top of my site to see if your readers were going to be victim to me blathering about ants again.
I like red shoes. I will have brown or black shoes, but I bought a red bag for BlogHer.

A pomegranite. I can’t even spell the f*cker without looking up to see how you spelled it. I. am. dumb.
Blogger does suck. I want to be a plug-in user too. If only I weren’t lazy. And could spell pomegranite.

Oooh, I am salivating over this and getting on it ASAP! Now comment responses don’t have to be one way or the other. Whee! AND when I use this, I can also get a ‘highlight author comments’ plugin like I’ve been wanting, but never had use for. Thanks for the heads-up!

Did I ever tell you that you rock, Jennifer? Well, I’m telling you now. I’ve been wondering where you got that comment reply plugin, but didn’t know how to ask about it (because I’m a bit of a dumb@$$ and don’t know any internetzz lingo).
So THANK YOU for posting the link to it! Awesome.
And I love Hump Day. Look forward to it almost as much as BTSP posts. It’s fun to
waste timediscover new blogs and great posts that you’ve enjoyed (I always enjoy them too, and often add your peeps to my reader). Look, I speak blog! ohmigawd.flickrlovrs last blog post..New Kids On The Block (No, Not The Group)
