I had a dream last night that instead of Schmoopette, I nannied Dooce's daughter, Leta. It's so weird when the internet goes all creeping into my subconscious like that. Oi, it's a busy day today. I've got to do a quick grocery run and then bake cupcakes for the Very Virgo Birthday Bash, then the actual event itself, and then clean-up, get ready for bed, and get up at 6AM to work 11 hrs. tomorrow...

Katherine got me hooked on Heather Armstrong's blog, Dooce, and today's blog ( http://www.dooce.com/2008/08/18/please-be-patient-me/#comments-start ) really got me thinking.  Not that I'm in a committed relationship, but if I were, who would be on my list of freebies?  You know, the list of people who you will never actually meet, but if you did you get a free pass to sleep with them by your partner...

On Thursday I learned that Leanna looks really hot in a cowboy hat. On Friday I learned that Dooce's accent is just as awesome in real life, her husband is really good looking, and that I can make a complete idiot of myself without even trying. I also had a bit too much time by myself to think while I went to Vancouver and back, which isn't really a good thing. I'm not used to being completely...

OMG OMG OMG. OH.MY.GOD SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. *Breathe* Dooce is coming to Vancouver on Friday! OMFG. I know I sound like a crazy person but I am SO excited. I didn't go see her last time. But this time she is at Granville Island and I am SO THERE. J says (11:10 AM): Dooce is coming to Vancouver on Friday!!! Alpha Male says (11:12 AM): SWEET BALLS J...

Heather Armstrong was interviewed this morning on the Today Show by Kathie Lee Gifford and another lady I've never heard of before who had an incredibly odd name. The subject, as usual, was about the...I would've expected her to look a little more aged than she does which just makes me think she's somehow managed to turn her entire face into plastic and that's just weird. I liked her hair, though

Dooce's book came out today. Ohhhh SCORE. Keri, buy it for me. Does anyone here read Dooce? Other than howmanychromosomesdoyouhaveLisa Foy? Dooce is incredible. I should go before pee comes out of me. And not from excitement. Wait, what?

Ready? Ok. Dear Becca, I couldn't but help think of you after reading this post today. Please read it. Then come back here. Done? Yeah. So first I thought of you because of the hat. And you've been...each others mouths. On any occasion. Hell, it doesn't have to be rum. It could definitely be wine, or ...I dunno, rum. Can we work on that? Sincerely, Ari, Fancy Pants Face Pie head on a stick
