Next Tuesday, it’s a date.

Wanna go to Prom with me?
MommyTime is hosting a little shindig at her place next Tuesday, June 3 — a little prom retrospective, if you will — and I told her I’d help spread the word. ‘Cause I think it’s totally brill. I LOVE looking at old photos, don’t you?
All you have to do is [...]

How to get smacked upside the head.

Say this to any female over the age of 10.
Wow, you’re getting bigger!
We need to get you new underwear. Your tush is getting bigger!
(Clapping and smiling won’t help.)

The O-Man Cometh

Last week, our humble town played host to Barack Obama for a few hours. Tickets went fast, and Mommypie missed out, but co-worker QB (who you may remember from the birthday post) scored.
Even Waldo was there.

Mommypie: Tell me about the overall atmosphere.
QB: Besides being in a sweaty, cramped gym with other people’s children kicking my [...]

The big day. She’s a comin’.

Just two more days until the big Sex and the City movie premiere! Squeee! (My new favorite expression.)
Unfortunately, I’m not as lucky or famous as Amy in Ohio who gets to see a sneak peek tonight. She even made her local paper for being a “Sex” Addict. Color me green with envy.
And then there’s McMommy, who [...]

The post I won’t remember writing in the morning.

12:45 a.m.
“Me? I’m a legend. They call me the Cautionary Whale.”
I LOVE JUNO.
Running on two hours of sleep, but the DVD’s due back tomorrow so it was a must see tonight. I’m joining the general public on this one — two thumbs waaay up. Who knew unplanned teenage pregnancy could be so heartwarming? Now I [...]

Nog Duts. The post in which I lose a few readers.

I’m feeling a bit of the parent-of-an-only-child guilt. MP’s lonely. And the number of times she’s expressed wanting a companion is heartbreaking.
So, I’m thinking about getting her a dog. Been thinking about it for awhile, actually.
It’s not that easy, though. Because of her asthma and allergies, our selection is pretty limited. My personal criteria narrows [...]

When ’80s dance music and 2008 technology collide.

Every waking moment since posting ‘The Politics of Twitter’ yesterday, THIS has been in my head.

Between that and a continuous mind loop of Obama doing the Running Man, I may need to be committed.
The politics of Twi-tter
The politics of oooo, feelin’ good
The politics of moo-vin’
Uh-huh
Is this message understood?

The Politics of Twitter

Yesterday I found out Obama Twitters. So, just for fun, I signed up to follow him. He has 33,109 followers, and he follows 34,002. His campaign’s a finely tuned marketing machine. They don’t miss a beat.
So, I checked out Hillary’s site to see if she Twitters. She does. She has 4,019 followers, and follows … [...]

Boosting my IQ while MP naps.

Watching CNN during MP’s SORELY NEEDED nap, I learned a few things, just from the news ticker.
THIS nipple cream is bad for nursing babies. REALLY bad.
Speaking of babies …
Communists are big fat ones. Members of Russia’s Communist Party are calling for a nationwide boycott of the new Indiana Jones movie, saying it “aims to undermine [...]

You like me! You really like me!

Mommypie would like to thank the Academy Foolery for presenting her with her very first award — and a BLOGGYWOOD Award, to boot!

BLOGGYWOOD (Noun)
Term coined by blogstar Foolery to describe the blogging community.
Mommypie predicts it will sweep the nation, hand-in-hand with DOOGS, leaving poor, tired BLOGOSPHERE in the dust. She will be using it extensively.
