wow, I've never commented before, but so close to the top...
I like your website Heather, especially all things regarding anal sex... (actually that A1 thing was just slightly disturbing, but in a comedic way). Your dog is very dog-like and your daughter is beautiful, the picture you used for the last monthly newsletter where she was sitting on the changing table or something, wet I think, was especially so. Good luck, Bill
nice couple...and Carol u can stop clothing Leta we like her feet naked MORE

Too bad you didn't get a photo of the pink panty puppy. He must have been pretty cute.
Good morning. Chicken pox? Dooce, I want to thank you for solving a problem we were having with nomenclature. We've decided that our daughter has a bottom system - it's just so all-encompassing.

Yes, a mild case. She has been vaccinated thank GOD! She is up so much of the night, I can't imagine if it were full blown pox!

love the new masthead!
when I get back to The City today, I'm going to have to go to Victoria's Secret and check out to see it THEY have a pink pantied dog. I want to touch it.
Be happy the pox has come to her now ... I got chiken pox when I was 18. On the night of my Senior Prom. It lasted for for two weeks, most of which I spent in cool baths laced with baking soda.
He's almost 5 months. And on top of the early weekend rising, he doesn't like to nap either because he's thrown off of his weekday 9am drive-dad-to-work nap schedule.
This morning I was seriously considering getting up, putting him in the car, driving to my husband's work at nine and turning around and coming home.
Jordan, justtry bundling him up and putting him in his crseat. throw a blanket over the whole thing and rock the seat with your foot. He will so think he is going somewhere.
I've found having friends who "know how to use their words" is a good thing. I like their sweaters - is either one handmade? (I'm guessing not, but it can't hurt to ask....)
If your Victoria's Secret is like mine, (which I'm sure it is) then the panty puppies (from the PINK! line) are on sale. I wanted one, but they were very very expensive (for a panty puppy).
I used to work at a daycare center where the teachers would plead with children to use their words, and the result would be half an hour of high-pitched shrieking. Ow. Eventually their pleading worked- this one kid climbed onto the counter and answered a phone call intended for the director with the words "shit ass."

Foot, foot, Faaaa-rt.
In one of your "Photo" albums on this site, there are bunches of pix of Leta, and you wrote about one of them that - after you took it - you dipped her right thigh in barbecue sauce and swallowed it whole. The Google ads on that page of pix were "Heinz or W Ketchup?" and "Barbecue Sauce." Priceless.

It's now 12:30 here. He's been up since 6:30. No nap in sight.
are these last 2 photos you've posted taken with the same camera you usually use? they've shown up fuzzy and with strange texture and color, at least on my browser. weird. or have you changed the resolution when you post them?
Romy...they show up perfectly clear here. The sweater color is brilliant. Hmm. Maybe your monitor is about to explode.

I'm 28 and still haven't had chicken pox.. seriously getting scared here that I'll get them when I'm 70 and die.
"Using your words".. I was a preschool teacher for a while and we had a sibling pair from an obviously disturbed and unhappy home. The little boy had a mouth that would make a sailor blush.. parents started coming in and asking where their precious 3-year-old learned the word 'motherfucker'. Ha.
I think the best time was early in the morning right after school opened and parents were dropping their kids off. This little boy walked past a parent with her daugher in her arms and casually said, "Hey, bastard."

in't my intent to criticize. Was just pointing it out & comparing the quality of the pics with the 2 different camera's. My comment was in response to romy's question in #43. At least I think what number he was at I can't see them. I had actually missed your first post.
Okay, I've been mulling this whole A1 bottle thing.
With the lid on or the lid off?
And was it pretty close to empty? 'Cause that stuff ain't cheap, and I can't see usin' it again after, you know. . .the impromptu colonoscopy.
Oh, i see it now. What? you gotta comment to see it? very cool, tho.

That's L*i*sterine.
I always think it's funny when people go back and fix their little typos.
Dammit, couldn't even get number 86.

I've noticed that its a 3 pronged pony tail. Very cute. She looks content in the other pics. As for fixing typos I give up. What was I gibbering about in #68?
I like "Lusterine" without the typo correction. Maybe they oughta make a pink variety & start bottling it. With as pricey as normal Listerine can be, they could make a killing!
That pic is cute, is she trying to rip the thing out? The one where she is sideways and has on and top AND in the back is the BEST!!! Next...blue eyshadow and to much blush!
And don't cut it! Jeez only boy babies need a trim (and thats when they are older and have been called she one to many times)
I make my baby look like 'Pebbles Flintstone' ALL THE TIME!!! Try putting 1 out either side for the 'Pippi Longstocking' look...it's great and people can't stop from saying 'how cute!'
I'm finally able to SEE the numbers along the sides now...how cool. at least now, I know what I've been missing
Awe Cristin I'm so sorry. I was just welcoming the new comer. What was I thinking???

Thanks Cristin and Laura. It is always nice to hear people say how cute your child is. She is our first.
It's nice to come here and read about Heather's experience as a new parent. Mirrors a lot of what is going on in my house with our baby.
I have comment numbers now! The fact that my heart did a little dance when I first saw them probably means I need a life.
That picture of Leta is adorable. I was just going through some pictures the other day and found...oh, twenty or so of my oldest daughter's first ponytail.
Oh! I forgot to say...LOVE the new masthead and design. (Did I mention I have comment numbers now?! Yay!)

I can't believe how fast she has grown up. It seems like yesterday i was reading about her at a few months old. Just what till that hair get's longer :-)
Melissa Etheridge does have breast cancer and had surgery for it. Don't know how long ago. I don't know how well she's doing as of now but I believe she's still undergoing chemo.
i am very jealous of the leta pony tail! i will have to wait for possible another year before charlotte has hair.
02.13.05 - 08:03 PM
130. Susie said:
Yea, Melissa's E's 'do is due to the chemo. Does she rock or what?
dang, Dang! You're a blogger. I woulda commented there but you wouldn't let me! Good for you, taking the plunge. I forgot to say earlier that when I invoked your name re: the Neil Young tunes, I had to clarify to husband that you weren't Vietnamese -- your name, Dang, is -- but then I thought, hell, he might be, who knows? But I allowed that your name is more of an expletive than a cultural statement. Funny. Happy blogging to you.
btw, I felt much the same as you did re: Terri's sad news, but left her a message here rather do what you did. I think it's great that that experience inspired you to start.
And re: the lovely Leta, I used to "pebbles" my girl's hair, too. Nothing's cuter than a gorgeous baby with a fountain of wispy hair spouting from the top of her head. What cameras were made for.
02.13.05 - 08:05 PM
131. Susie said:
Oh, and I'd like to join in the dorkfest, too: yippee, I can see the numbers now! good times.
Hey, Christin, The other night Dang said "I solute you, madame" and I walked on air for the next two hours.
I figure a "solute" is even better than a "salute", which it looks like Leta is about to do in her picture. Either that, or her hair style got altered quickly.

The Joplin tribute was great. Who was the blond in copper velvet?
And the tsunami tribute, did that suck or what? can we sing on key?
Okay slick it all to the top of her head, lots of gel then put a sponge roller in it. When it's dry, she will look like a DQ Sundae. Hey my daughter is 13, and pictures of stuff like that are completely perfect torture.
I have been out of the country and away from your site since the end of January, and man, did I have lots of catching up to do. But I finally made it and am so glad I got to read about Leta's first birthday, anal sex, TJ Maxx and you being both in the New York Times and on ABC World News Tonight (I'm just sorry I missed both of those thing). And now, at last, I get to see Carol. My world is complete.
I had to refresh to see the new masthead and the DORK. Looking good.
While watching the Janis Joplin tribute...
My mom said, "Melissa Etheridge looks pretty good with a bald head." I said, "I was just thinking the same thing. Does that make us lesbians?" My mom answered with a straight face, "I've always said I was a lesbian."
silence. Then I asked, "Really?!" She said, "No, I was just pulling your leg."
Yea Leta has joined the baby girl top-not society. Kudos to you for being able to actually put it in Leta's hair yoursef. I can never hold my daughter down long enough to do get one in. Her daycare people have top notted her - on several occassions on the only day she attends. I always think they must be experts. One day they did it to her and I seriously wondered who was this baby wearing my daughter's clothes it completely threw me!

Dooce, I'm not sure if you read your comments, but my friend, Katie wrote this in her blog and I had to share so that she'll kill me when she finds out.
So ever since Jenn told me I "had to read www.dooce.com" the other day, it's all I've been doing. And I know you told me to read it because you think she's funny, and trust me I do think she's funny, but the only thing I think about when I read her is that I want to BE her. I want to marry her husband Jon because I think I love him just about as much as she does, and I want to have her baby Leta, who is the most precious thing I have ever seen. The way she talks about Jon makes me want to get married tomorrow. I feel like she's the skinnier version of me, only because she's tall (5'11) like I am (5'9-10) and I think the tallness makes us very much alike. (I am very demented). I also want to live in Utah now. I've never even wanted to visit Utah before, but now I want to live there? What the fuck. I think I need to take a Dooce break before I start calling myself Heather and wondering why Jon is late for dinner tonight, he's usually ALWAYS home by 5:30. I sound horribly creepy now, but Heather, if you ever read this, I promise not to start stalking you and your precious family. Girl Scout's Honor.

Dork dork doooork, I love how you're tormenting your kid with elastics! Keep on it! Yesterday I pulled a tooth from my kids mouth, that my friend, is truly fun.
Oh yeah! THanks La Pix, I had forgotten it was Val day. Oh man. Now I gotta drive the kids to school and buy the Valentines on the way there and fill them out in the car and then bring them into the school myself like a DORK mom.
Just like last year. Hey, traditions are important.
Yes, yes, happy valentine's day. More importantly, I can see the numbers! This has probably already been celebrated by IE drones, but I haven't had time to read the comments since the new template (which I love, by the way). Awesome! As is that picture of Leta. She reminds me somewhat of Pebbles. Flinstones, meet the flinstones... got to go!

The story about A-1 steak sauce sounds eerily familiar, although I dated a guy who had more of a predisposition to Worcester sauce. I still can't bring myself to open up a bottle of that sauce. As for the panty puppy, I think we all have been in the same boat, regardless of our love/fear of God. I once stole a really neat picture frame from TGI Fridays. It was actually a neat little thing that had clips on it to hold the various alcoholic beverage menus, but it kept calling out to me. It was perfect to clip little photographs into, and I just had to have it. The sad part is that my boyfriend was the manager of the store and he almost had a coronary when he came home to see the little picture frame, in its place of honor on the back of the toilet seat with our kid's pictures in it. Hey, it matched the decor in the bathroom, what can I say? Heather, I love the picture of Leta with her hair pulled up like Pebbles Flinstone. My sister's 2 1/2 month old daughter already has long enough hair for that, but my sister yells at me when I do embarrassing things to my niece. You can't possibly give an infant a complex, can you? Dammit. What else are kids for?!?

Jess from B-Lo
in't my intent to criticize. Was just pointing it out & comparing the quality of the pics with the 2 different camera's. My comment was in response to romy's question in #43. At least I think what number he was at I can't see them. I had actually missed your first post.

Last time I saw a tongue like that I was...well, better not.
72. elswhere said:
Hey! I can see the comment numbers now! I emerged from lurkerdom to celebrate.
73. RazDreams said:
wooohooo!!! numbers!!! finally!!! for us non-MAC users. i feel so important.
74. Dang Cold.. said:

the absence of numbers shouldn't have stopped you from joining the party. Have a seat..
*dang cold passes elsewhere a cheese tray and signals the waiter to bring over a glass of red wine*
75. tallulah said:
LOVE the new masthead! Your coolness is neverending. And it's a small thing, but yeah, I dig being able to see the numbers now.
76. woman lover said:
Maybe not everyone heard what I said.
I've been vindicated. dooce IS into ANAL SEX!!!!
When I suggested that very sexual practice after child birth, people jumped all over me. Now are you sorry?
Beach gal, where are you?
77. Yawn said:
Woman Lover, everyone "heard" you. Perhaps you didn't hear Dang Cold's reply, which was very polite and accurate.
And I don't think anyone's sorry.
78. Bucky Four-Eyes said:
Okay, I've been mulling this whole A1 bottle thing.
With the lid on or the lid off?
And was it pretty close to empty? 'Cause that stuff ain't cheap, and I can't see usin' it again after, you know. . .the impromptu colonoscopy.
79. Mrs.Strizzay said:
Can you IMAGINE of it was half full and the top was *off*. That would be super nasty. As opposed to regular A1 anal nasty.
80. Girl.A said:
Enumerated! Holy Fuckmaster Flash. Dammit.
The virgin 69 is already taken.
81. Bucky Four-Eyes said:
My gyno told me he once had to extract a perfume bottle that was pretty wickedly wedged into a vagina.
Didn't the crazy bitch ever hear of Massengill?
82. Mrs.Strizzay said:
Lmao Bucky
If it smells like cologne leave it alone
83. not THE Carol said:
I don't see a new masthead...???
84. not THE Carol said:
Oh, i see it now. What? you gotta comment to see it? very cool, tho.
85. Jeanette said:
I can't stop giggling at the picture of Leta with her hair in a ponytail. Is that a ponytail? *giggle* I think she's even wondering what in the hell it is. *giggle*
86. Wicked H said:
Although it is EXTREMELY cute, Frog Princess does not look amused. Leta aka Pebbles - tee hee.
87. Girl.A said:
Bucky, I like altoids instead of massengil. That douche crap messes up the delicate balance of the cooter.
Or Lusterine, if you're in a bind... or into pain.
Love the photo of Leta. Don't trim her hair. Fuck 'em, those controlling assholes who have to project what they want on every child in the universe.
88. Girl.A said:
That's L*i*sterine.
I always think it's funny when people go back and fix their little typos.
Dammit, couldn't even get number 86.
89. Dang Cold.. said:
I've noticed that its a 3 pronged pony tail. Very cute. She looks content in the other pics. As for fixing typos I give up. What was I gibbering about in #68?
ah well.
90. Bucky Four-Eyes said:
Listerine? If you kill the germs, where's the adventure in that thar pussy?
91. Jaia said:
I like "Lusterine" without the typo correction. Maybe they oughta make a pink variety & start bottling it. With as pricey as normal Listerine can be, they could make a killing!
(calms down)
92. Mrs.Strizzay said:
That pic is cute, is she trying to rip the thing out? The one where she is sideways and has on and top AND in the back is the BEST!!! Next...blue eyshadow and to much blush!
And don't cut it! Jeez only boy babies need a trim (and thats when they are older and have been called she one to many times)
93. Mrs.Strizzay said:
Just floss it Girl A.
94. Ronda said:
Wow, look at how much Leta is looking like you now, Heather. The hair is adorable!
95. jess said:
omg I LOVE HER HAIR!
96. jess said:
i guess i should specify: I love Leta's hair! so adorable
97. kelc_in_OZ said:
Leta is so cute!
She looks just like pebbles.
98. Danielle said:
toooooooooooooo funny.
and it looks like she knows it is bad and is trying to pull it out.
hi-larious.
99. rich said:
oh yeah! We just started doing the same thing. click my name
100. Torrie said:
That picture just made my night. Thank you.
101. mashed peas said:
Love Leta's hair!
102. Cristin said:
rich (99) - (how cool is it that I can now see the numbers, okay-dork bleating over)anyway, rich, CUTE PIC!!
Heather, how adorable! How long did it take her to start ripping the ponytail out?
an Dang, you never offer me cheese or wine.
103. Cristin said:
heh heh Heather, the google ad is 'Prada wear'
104. Laura C. said:
Rich, your child ties with Leta for the title of Most Adorable Little Kid I've Ever Seen.
105. notthecarol said:
I think Leta is looking at her hair thinking,
"well, mom almost got it right. now i need me some manic fucking panic!!
106. Danielle said:
Man! I don't know how I missed the transition to Flikr on the main page. (by clicking on the photo of Leta, for anyone as clueless as I have been).
I feel like I just got a present; how very nice.
I just looked at all the photos and I love the ones of the wedding. There are some really beautiful shots in there. The curly pink hair is the best.
very cool.
and of course, now I see the 3 ponytails.
Finally, there is a photo in there of Leta with her teeth showing that is just too cute.
107. crazy mom said:
Uh-oh, someone's got a fivehead...
She's definite model material!
108. koof said:
waaaay too cute. i think leta has more hair than *i* do, and i've been working on it for more than a year. no fair!
109. SueFromOhio said:
I make my baby look like 'Pebbles Flintstone' ALL THE TIME!!! Try putting 1 out either side for the 'Pippi Longstocking' look...it's great and people can't stop from saying 'how cute!'
I'm finally able to SEE the numbers along the sides now...how cool. at least now, I know what I've been missing
DORK RULES!!!
110. Dang Cold.. said:
Cristin said at 06:13PM, 02.13.2005:
Dang, you never offer me cheese or wine.
Awe Cristin I'm so sorry. I was just welcoming the new comer. What was I thinking???
*Dang Cold reaches out and gives Cristin a warm supportive embrace with a twinkle in his eye. The two sip wine together and then separate*
111. Another Heather said:
My hair almost looked like that at my wedding.... too cute Leta!
112. Another Heather said:
I love how it says DORK at the bottom of the page. Now that shall be your new mantra. Dork dork dork dork dork dork dork dork dork dork dork dork dork....
DORK!
113. busted.. said:
Dang Cold.. started a blog..
*Why didn't you tell us?*

114. Amanda B. said:
Oh my GOD, that is cute. I wonder how long she let her hair stay that way...
115. rich said:
Thanks Cristin and Laura. It is always nice to hear people say how cute your child is. She is our first.
It's nice to come here and read about Heather's experience as a new parent. Mirrors a lot of what is going on in my house with our baby.
116. Girl.A said:
Wondering how long Dangcold can hold that twinkie in his eye without saying ouch.
117. Mrs.Strizzay said:
That chick singin the Joplin song Rocks.
118. Mrs.Strizzay said:

Baldheaded Melissa Etheridge so.not.cute.
I hope she doesn't have cancer or anything.
119. Torrie said:
I believe she has breast cancer.
120. LadyBug said:
I have comment numbers now! The fact that my heart did a little dance when I first saw them probably means I need a life.
That picture of Leta is adorable. I was just going through some pictures the other day and found...oh, twenty or so of my oldest daughter's first ponytail.
121. LadyBug said:
Oh! I forgot to say...LOVE the new masthead and design. (Did I mention I have comment numbers now?! Yay!)
122. Sarah M said:
I can't believe how fast she has grown up. It seems like yesterday i was reading about her at a few months old. Just what till that hair get's longer :-)
123. whome? said:
I want to see the new design...
124. Dang Cold.. said:
Sweeeeeeeeet...a Joplin fan.
Melissa Etheridge does have breast cancer and had surgery for it. Don't know how long ago. I don't know how well she's doing as of now but I believe she's still undergoing chemo.
125. Relentless Christian Amber said:
I love the new masthead. And I love your daughter's pictures.
All I could think of when I saw that was little Pebbles saying "Bam Bam!"
How cute.
Love the Dork at the bottom of the page as well.
126. maggie said:
I can see comment numbers now!! Very exciting, indeed.
Anyway, Leta looks like she just finished putting up her hair herself in that picture and is checking out her handiwork. So cute!
127. Relentless Christian Amber said:
Oh! And I can finally see comment numbers on this computer too! (My hubby's Mac was my only saving grace for numbers before this day.)
128. mg2 said:
Hey Heather, where were you when I needed someone to do my Prom up-do? How much do you charge for your handiwork, hot mama?
129. jenB said:
i am very jealous of the leta pony tail! i will have to wait for possible another year before charlotte has hair.
130. Susie said:
Yea, Melissa's E's 'do is due to the chemo. Does she rock or what?
dang, Dang! You're a blogger. I woulda commented there but you wouldn't let me! Good for you, taking the plunge. I forgot to say earlier that when I invoked your name re: the Neil Young tunes, I had to clarify to husband that you weren't Vietnamese -- your name, Dang, is -- but then I thought, hell, he might be, who knows? But I allowed that your name is more of an expletive than a cultural statement. Funny. Happy blogging to you.
btw, I felt much the same as you did re: Terri's sad news, but left her a message here rather do what you did. I think it's great that that experience inspired you to start.
And re: the lovely Leta, I used to "pebbles" my girl's hair, too. Nothing's cuter than a gorgeous baby with a fountain of wispy hair spouting from the top of her head. What cameras were made for.
131. Susie said:
Oh, and I'd like to join in the dorkfest, too: yippee, I can see the numbers now! good times.
132. MrsDoF said:
Hey, Christin, The other night Dang said "I solute you, madame" and I walked on air for the next two hours.
I figure a "solute" is even better than a "salute", which it looks like Leta is about to do in her picture. Either that, or her hair style got altered quickly.
133. MamaPajama said:
The Joplin tribute was great. Who was the blond in copper velvet?
And the tsunami tribute, did that suck or what? can we sing on key?
134. moose said:
Playing with little girls' hair is way too much fun. I'm with you: don't cut it!
Dang, I was going to leave a comment at your blog but, dang it, I'm not a blogger. Consider that a little whine with cheese. ;)
135. stephen brinkman said:
Just found your blog-very funny writing. Keep it real with your bits of fantasy, enjoyable! YVT Stephen
136. Beth said:
Love that pic of Leta because it looks like she's doing her own hair.
Great...
137. Lisa said:
Okay slick it all to the top of her head, lots of gel then put a sponge roller in it. When it's dry, she will look like a DQ Sundae. Hey my daughter is 13, and pictures of stuff like that are completely perfect torture.
138. DeAnn said:
I have been out of the country and away from your site since the end of January, and man, did I have lots of catching up to do. But I finally made it and am so glad I got to read about Leta's first birthday, anal sex, TJ Maxx and you being both in the New York Times and on ABC World News Tonight (I'm just sorry I missed both of those thing). And now, at last, I get to see Carol. My world is complete.
139. Fran said:
I had to refresh to see the new masthead and the DORK. Looking good.
While watching the Janis Joplin tribute...
My mom said, "Melissa Etheridge looks pretty good with a bald head." I said, "I was just thinking the same thing. Does that make us lesbians?" My mom answered with a straight face, "I've always said I was a lesbian."
silence. Then I asked, "Really?!" She said, "No, I was just pulling your leg."
My mom is too hip.
140. Lushlife said:
Yea Leta has joined the baby girl top-not society. Kudos to you for being able to actually put it in Leta's hair yoursef. I can never hold my daughter down long enough to do get one in. Her daycare people have top notted her - on several occassions on the only day she attends. I always think they must be experts. One day they did it to her and I seriously wondered who was this baby wearing my daughter's clothes it completely threw me!
141. Henryk_ Mon @1904 Sydney time said:
This pic quality is a little better than yesterdays!....but only just!
142. Tina said:
Like the new looks of Leta and the website!
143. Jenn said:
Dooce, I'm not sure if you read your comments, but my friend, Katie wrote this in her blog and I had to share so that she'll kill me when she finds out.
So ever since Jenn told me I "had to read www.dooce.com" the other day, it's all I've been doing. And I know you told me to read it because you think she's funny, and trust me I do think she's funny, but the only thing I think about when I read her is that I want to BE her. I want to marry her husband Jon because I think I love him just about as much as she does, and I want to have her baby Leta, who is the most precious thing I have ever seen. The way she talks about Jon makes me want to get married tomorrow. I feel like she's the skinnier version of me, only because she's tall (5'11) like I am (5'9-10) and I think the tallness makes us very much alike. (I am very demented). I also want to live in Utah now. I've never even wanted to visit Utah before, but now I want to live there? What the fuck. I think I need to take a Dooce break before I start calling myself Heather and wondering why Jon is late for dinner tonight, he's usually ALWAYS home by 5:30. I sound horribly creepy now, but Heather, if you ever read this, I promise not to start stalking you and your precious family. Girl Scout's Honor.
144. nicola said:
eeep omg the pic of leta is just gorgeous!!
i remember my mum doing that to my sisters hair when she was little and it was adorable!!!
145. warcrygirl said:
Very nice couple, they even look alike.
146. Lauren said:
Dork dork doooork, I love how you're tormenting your kid with elastics! Keep on it! Yesterday I pulled a tooth from my kids mouth, that my friend, is truly fun.
147. La Pixiatrix said:
Happy Valentine's Day
Enjoy the love.
148. CanadianAmy said:
Oh yeah! THanks La Pix, I had forgotten it was Val day. Oh man. Now I gotta drive the kids to school and buy the Valentines on the way there and fill them out in the car and then bring them into the school myself like a DORK mom.
Just like last year. Hey, traditions are important.
149. Bucky Four-Eyes said:
Happy Valentine's Day, my favorite dorkwads on the 'Net!
Go forth and shag someone you love, or at least, someone who makes thine loins tingle.
150. Chloe said:
Yes, yes, happy valentine's day. More importantly, I can see the numbers! This has probably already been celebrated by IE drones, but I haven't had time to read the comments since the new template (which I love, by the way). Awesome! As is that picture of Leta. She reminds me somewhat of Pebbles. Flinstones, meet the flinstones... got to go!
151. Katie-be-bored-at-work said:
The story about A-1 steak sauce sounds eerily familiar, although I dated a guy who had more of a predisposition to Worcester sauce. I still can't bring myself to open up a bottle of that sauce. As for the panty puppy, I think we all have been in the same boat, regardless of our love/fear of God. I once stole a really neat picture frame from TGI Fridays. It was actually a neat little thing that had clips on it to hold the various alcoholic beverage menus, but it kept calling out to me. It was perfect to clip little photographs into, and I just had to have it. The sad part is that my boyfriend was the manager of the store and he almost had a coronary when he came home to see the little picture frame, in its place of honor on the back of the toilet seat with our kid's pictures in it. Hey, it matched the decor in the bathroom, what can I say? Heather, I love the picture of Leta with her hair pulled up like Pebbles Flinstone. My sister's 2 1/2 month old daughter already has long enough hair for that, but my sister yells at me when I do embarrassing things to my niece. You can't possibly give an infant a complex, can you? Dammit. What else are kids for?!?
152. bushra said:
there's something wrong with my computer. i'm sure dooce.com changed to a dork-esque masthead but now it's back to the previous masthead? is it me?!
