It's alive!
In the winter we rarely go in or out of the front door because we have no hallway at the front of the house. We always use the back door so that we don't track mud or snow onto the hardwood floors. Unfortunately, this means that I forget about everything on the porch including these festive Halloween pumpkins. Jon was tasked with disposing of these rotting horrors but not before I could take a picture.

Heather talks about overcoming depression on today's Momversation.
- Leta: "STOP FOLLOWING ME, COCO!"
I wonder where she picked up that exclamation.
- Me: "Hey Marlo, here's a vibrantly colored, squeaky toy made specifically for your age group!"
Marlo: "Got any knives?"

This is so juvenile, but tossing that into the air and watching it smash would be so much fun. It makes me wish I lived in a rural area instead of Boston, so I too, could toss pumpkins without getting arrested.

Double EEEEEWW! Someone beat me to the blueberry muffins lol...
At least from your front page thats what it looked like! Gross! Now it looks like a melted half carved pumpkin snowman!
19. annabelle said:
The one in the middle looks like it juts burst forth with a hot jet of rotten gas. I'm gagging over the thought.
20. cathy milw said:
I saw a pumpkin on a second-floor, metal-grating type porch/fire-escape, on an early-spring thaw morning. The pumpkin had oozed down through the grate in this amazing way, then froze into orange icicles, and was starting to soften again that morning.
It was beautiful in a surreal sculptural way, like a Dali painting, and I was tempted to park my car nearby to wait for the person who would walk under it when it started to drop slimey chunks.

Hmm, the later posting of pictures has been causing me to need more coffee to get through the morning... a crutch when there is no new pic. I think I need to join a Doocers Anonymous. Massive amounts of work are piled up around me, but the first thing I do is "ooooh, no picture, but a POST!! about mormonism!!"
Help, Heather, you've GOT to stop being funny and taking good pictures to help the US economy. The country is just not productive anymore when everyone just sits around all morning, waiting for ... just... a little...more...Heather.

42. geeky said:
ewwww i think i can smell the rotten pumpkin from here!
43. Jon in Michigan said:
I find that a snow shovel works well for scooping up rotten pumpkins. And the ground right next to the porch is the perfect burial site.
44. Circus Kelli said:
The pumpkin on the bottom looks like it got tired of holding the other two up for so long...
"Can't go on... must put them down!"
"Dammit, Jim! I'm a pumpkin! Not a weightlifter!"
Ooooo! Yummy cream filling!
45. theBrick said:
That reminds me, I never took out my pumpkins on my back porch.....I think I will wait till spring thaw and see what they look like then.
46. Circus Kelli said:
Jon in Michigan, for a moment there, I thought you were going to say you take the shovel and bring it down really hard on the pumpkins and they make a really cool splatty noise... THEN you use the shovel to clean up the mess.
47. Linda said:
I thought blueberry pancakes from the thumbnail. Then ewwwww!!

Hey! I have some of those by my front door, too!
As to your recent post, in our house, Divinity was a super-sweet Xmas cookie. Wow.
Is (my sort of) divinity anything like "dood balls"?
Your stories about Mormon Life make me feel sheltered and exposed
all at once. Leaving me slightly nervous. Like there might be a lightening bolt, striking me down, or I should just go have a shot of tequila to quell the nerves & keep
on truckin'.

52. Katie-be-bored-at-work said:
Ahh, the beauty of Halloween suspended in time. I remember the excitement I felt growing up in the icy tundra of Pennsylvania when the snow would begin to melt, only to reveal the beauty of a shriveled pumpkin. I must say, Dooce, your pumpkins are amazingly well-preserved. The blueberry muffin effect definitely adds some color and flair. How I hate living in Texas now - my pumpkins turn into unrecognizable and collapsed lumps a week before Halloween.
53. Circus Kelli said:
closet metro: Looks to me like they've done a pretty good job of planting themselves on the porch. :)

62. Cathi said:
Katie - I feel you. Texas here, too. We had carved our daughter's name (Kerry) into a pumpkin and had it outside, along with the cut out letters... but if anyone was looking for a political statement, they could just look in the front window for the big Kerry/Edwards sign because the pumpkin was collapsed into a pile of black, oozing gunk and the letters were all shriveled up within a couple days.
We left the mess out there for months, both waiting for the other to take care of it.

I almost woke up the baby laughing at yesterday's pic. Poor little rubber duckie.

71. Hannah said:
Bushra - Good idea, at least it's some sort of incentive to work in the morning (innit!)
72. michele said:
ok can't feel sympathy for the guy who was fired for his blog from Google because his site blatantly stated where he worked! Hello people- you can not discuss company business on the internet unless it is your very own company. Has Dooce not taught people anything?! And Heather never mentioned the name of where she worked. *sigh* If it's on the internet, it's no longer a personal diary, it's open for the world to see.
On the pumpkin picture, I had one on my porch forever (and I used that door every day) but it never rotted...until I picked it up one day to finally throw it out and everything fell out the bottom of the pumpkin. Ew....
73. August95 said:
Now that is a shovel and plastic bag job for sure.
74. kristine said:
Much like my rotting pumpkins, except you can't see them because they are hidden behind the dried up Christmas tree.
75. Brian said:
ohhhhh squeeshy!
76. ashik said:
Hannah & Bushra - - at least you get to live in England, where you don't need to avoid reading the newspapers because you might find a headline like "Legislature passes bill to scrap the Bill of Rights." Now Canadians - they get it both ways: the opportune time zone (Doocewise) and the awesome government. Then, again, there that freezing issue..

79. Katie-be-bored-at-work said:
Cathi, being that you live in Texas, I bet your neighbors were appalled by your Kerry sign and pumpkin artwork. It is rather scary living here in Houston - you would think Bush was Jesus, or something. I don't hate the man, but if you try to say anything negative about him, you are just asking to be tarred and feathered.
80. MrsDoF said:
Those look like they are long past their shelf life/due date.
You must have great neighbors who just drive by and don't say anything. We have a guy who is always worried about "curb appeal" because his job is in real estate. Old decorations left too long brings the dreaded knock on the door, so I try to stay a little ahead of that game.
81. Janie said:
Please say you'll tell us when we'll see you on ABC. I would hate to miss it!
82. Girl.A said:
I am not into holiday decorations, but pumpkins are cool.
Mrs. DoF, if I had a neighbor coming over like that I think I might have to invent a few holidays to decorate for. Like Bottom System Appreciation Month.
hola afkafish
83. Hannah said:
Ashik - Well now we here in Rainy England (for that is surely the name god intended it to have) also have the freezing issue and we get to wake up to headlines like 'Tony Blair sucks off US President' so the US must have some things going for it....
84. Cathi said:
Katie-be-bored - Actually, the little old man who lives next door had a Kerry sign in his front window, too. You just had to get up close to the house to see it over his big-ass hedge. The Democrats in town here don't advertise, though; it was really hard to find them to get my sign. I suppose they figure it's a waste of time and resources to advertise heavily.
It's ok that my vote didn't count, though. My parents are in Maryland, so theirs didn't count either. We evened each other out.
85. RazDreams said:
Holy sha-munga, does this mean we'll get to see dooce move and talk *live*, right there on our TVs, practically in our living rooms, seemingly talking through the airwaves right to each of us individually?! I'm flush with excitement.

there are places in new york that would have been sad at the Kerry pumpkin.
i carved a kitten into mine and i came home and a squirrel had eaten the top off, the next day, he ate the kitten's face off!!!!
also, ashik, i'd like to move to canada. i wonder if i can leave all my debt in the US.

yeah, when's blair leaving so the US will no longer have a powerful cohort?
89. Natalie said:
My pumpkin looked identical -stranded on the front deck of our apartment from October til January 28th... Poor pumpkin.
My husband too had the job of disposal. Although living on the third floor, he merely tossed it off the balcony and hoped no one noticed.
As of yet - they have not.

98. Coralie said:
I have what seem to be permanent marks on my front porch from the pumkins- when we got back from vacation, we had to trek through pumpkin ooze to get into the house. Then we waited for it to freeze, so that the ooze wouldn't attack when we tried to clean it up.
It took a chisel and a crowbar. Seriously.
99. Julie said:
YUM! Rotten pumpkins.
Heather, you simply MUST MUST MUST tell us all if and when there is to be an on-air segment of you on ABC News. Must.

103. Dang cold... said:
Ashik, my name aside winters aren't too horrible here in Canada. On some days jack frost does more than nip at your nose, however. 3 weeks ago he was using pliers. As for Canada's goverment, we basically have several political parties but only 2 have any real hope of forming a government in a general election. One is more along the lines of democrats the other republican. Liberals and Conservatives (tories) we call them. Americans wouldn't notice any immediate difference living here except for our monopoly money and the painful and blinding taxes. 12 months paid maternity for you expecting parents out there though. Either mom or pop can take leave but not both.

111. ashik said:
Sorry, am ignorant - what is monopoly money?
As for the painful taxes, as far as I'm concerned, waiting spread eagle for this gov't to come up with extra ways to transfer wealth upwards hurts more than the frost with pliers.
Now the 12 month maternity leave I can get behind... Sooo... exactly how cold does it get up there? It's fifty degrees here in DC and I hafta say, it's nice.

Warning: SCARY PUMPKIN STORY
I actually still can't think about this story without my stomach flipping over.
When I was younger, my family owned a small, family-style restaurant that we all worked in. One fall we decorated by putting a HUGE pumpkin on the bench up near the cash register, which then sat there for some time. I can't remember how long, but it turns out it was too long, because one day, during the MIDDLE OF THE LUNCH RUSH, someone leaned on it and the thing made a sort of "gooooosh" noise and vomited rotten pumpkin bile everywhere. As in EVERYWHERE. And the whole restaurant smelled of rotten pumpkin.
I was running the register that day, and I still hate pumpkins. They are evil, vengeful creatures, even if they are a lovely shade of orange.

122. Dazed & Confuzed said:
Dooce - word of advice. One tends to get nervous around camera crews and just blurt things out. For example, I was interviewed in New Orleans about the rise of Voodoo in America (why they picked me is a complete mystery since my knowledge of Voodoo is limited to following it with "that you do so well"). Anywhoo, instead of saying "I'm not surprised" I said "YOU LEECHES IN THE PRESS NEED TO GET A LIFE AND START REPORTING SHIT THE WAY IT'S HAPPENED AND STOP PUTTING YOUR OWN LITTLE AGENDA-SPIN ON IT, YOU SONSABITCHES"...it was as accident. Could happen to anyone. Good luck, HRH Dooce!

My neighbors (apartment neighbors - so their front door is right next to mine!) left their pumpkins out like that last year. And we live in Texas. Those things were so rotten, smelly and disgusting. Then when they finally moved them, they left a trail of rotten pumpkin bits leading from our hall to the dumpster and a permanent stain on the concrete below the pumpkin's several month resting place. It's still there a year later!

Totally off the subject, sorry- but I am so goofy and tired today that I just walked by two total strangers and instead of saying "Hi!", I said "Thank You!"
And they said..."Uh, you're welcome."

I use red worms to do composting (they eat my kitchen scraps and produce wonderful fertilizer) and they absoutely adore pumpkins! When we put our rotting pumpkin in our worm bin, it was gone in about a week. Vermicomposting--the wave of the future!
I swear, I am not a freak.
167. Psycho Kitty said:
Ya know, speaking as someone who was once "dunked a Baptist"--I laugh every time you bring up the whole Mormon/Southern Baptist thing. Cause all the crap those SBs gave you? Just take the "Mormon" out of your stories and put in "Southern Baptist" and it would still be just as accurate: no drinkin', no kissin', and everybody's goin' to hell. Ahhhh, memories.
Oh, and have fun with the News team.

Ohmygod, Dooce! You are going to be national television?!? That is so incredible, although not surprising. You deserve props for standing up to the corporate dillweeds who fired you. I bet they are crapping their pants now, huh? Make sure to make mention of their pathetic name when you get interviewed! Ha! I think I am going to start my own weblog just so I can get fired from my job. Yeah. Make sure to tell us when you will be on tv - I can't wait to see you and Leta! Have them take footage of her putting the circle block into the circle hole (let's hope her hand doesn't get stuck again!)
172. Jo said:

Ha ha, im kidding.It happened to us one year too-- just toss it in the neighbors yard. Thats what we did. :-D
178. Amanda B. said:
PsychoKitty- Don't forget dancin'. Cause you know what Dancin' leads to...
179. Katie-be-bored-at-work said:
Hey Jenn, I think it is BECAUSE Dooce is in charge of a one year old that the existence of the pumpkins on the front porch slipped her mind. Anyone with a child can attest that there is too much wiping up of snotty noses and cleaning up of broken crayons out of the rug to remember a long-ago snow-buried pumpkin on the front porch. Plus, my 3 1/2 year old would probably find that pumpkin to be a really neat science experiment.
180. JuJuBee said:
Congrats to you Dooce about the news thing!!! Are they going to pay you?!
181. Graygirl said:
Way to go Dooce! Can't wait for the story, both the one on TV and your post about the experience.
Can't tell you how much you brighten my day. (Is this shoving rainbows up your ass????!!!!) You break the monotony of my work day.
Congrats.

You have GOT to write in her baby book something like "Milestone! ABC news showed up about an hour after you mastered the shape sorter. Seriously."
In fact, when the crew shows up, I'd open the door and say, "Great - she's right over here!"
And act like they are there to air a story about Leta putting the circle block in the circle hole. No matter how hard they try to steer the conversation with their off-topic questions about your old job, respond with "Well, I only left the room for a second. I never thought - in that instant --" (choke back tears) "She just did it. All by herself."
Then "Can we move the lights over there to her so you can really capture the look on her face? Ooh I know! Have me blurred in the background. She puts the circle in, tight closeup of her face, then switch the focus so that she's blurry and you can see MY reaction!"
Sorry, I'm sick in bed and allegedly also pregnant. It's all very funny to me. Good luck today Heather!

191. that-andrea said:
We got married last October and as part of our decorations we had these lovely centerpieces made from hollowed-out pumpkins. Lots of people took a centerpiece home, and we took 4 or 5. About a week later we started getting phone calls warning of nasty, squooshy, rotting pumpkin grossness. My friend noticed an odd smell as she passed through her dining room, realized it was coming from the centerpiece, and when she went to pick it up her fingers plunged right through the pumpkin skin and into rotting gooey smelly horribleness. My mom's pumpkin melted into her buffet and took the finish off. Our pumpkins had fruit flies swarming around and I was only able to remove them from the house without incident because of the warnings I received from my poor unfortunate friends.
192. Katie-be-bored-at-work said:
That sounds perfect Tiffany! I think Leta's accomplishment is cause for much celebration (although I think Peter Jennings might frighten the average 1 year old. He frightens me).
193. Lisa said:
Not only is my pumpkin still rotting on my porch, but the decorations are still out there, too. I put a little hat on the bat and a scarf on the cat. It just felt right. And it's not like I'm keeping it rotting in the kitchen or something. That luxury is reserved for the crockpot from 4 days ago. Yes, I have kids.
194. tIffany said:
Exactly Katie - I'd totally be more excited about the shape thing. My kid refused to even try to use the shape sorter properly at Leta's age. He'd rip the dang top off and dump all the shapes in there really fast and look at me all proud like "Your way sucks. It is SO much easier this way."
And I was all dude come on - WE ARE NEVER going to get on the news at this rate.
195. Amanda B. said:
Oh man. There are going to a LOT of comments tommorow. Let's take bets, I say at least 700 comments by midnight tommorow.

little-known fact about those tiny, ornamental pumpkins: they make their own gravy!
199. ella's ma said:
That is truly a disgusting picture. The pumpkins in front of my house started to look like that and I disposed of them quickly. Not because I really cared what they looked like, but because they were about 4 times bigger than those and I did not want myself or anyone living in my house to have to lift a 20 pound ball of ratting pumpkin.

Oh, ew. To the pumpkins, not the interview. That rules.
My husband and MIL do a "punkin chunkin" every year, to see who gets furthest. This year we let the nephews go as well. So our pumpkins never last long.
Those pumpkins look like a snowman with gangrene.
204. calsmama said:
Great photo today. I definitely thought it was a blueberry muffin from the thumbnail, and then cracked up to see the adds for blueberry muffin mix. Can anyone tell me how Google adds work. I picture a stressed out guy who is too busy to do his research. Today he decided to take a shortcut and put the add up just based on the thumbnail. Boy did he make a mistake seeing as the adds should have been for sourdough pumpkin muffins.

Does that mean we need a secret handshake after every hundredth post past the 500 mark? Or, like anniversaries, should we name each successive hundred? No. 500 could be silver. 600 could be poo. 700 could be cheese.

217. Amanda B. said:
Shiz- I though dancing led to GOD awful pseudo-ballads like "Hold on to the Night", and "Everything I DO (i do it for you)".
Carol- you can touch my monkey.
Ashik- I want one of these (click name) monkies. All they do is hang out in the hot tub and big bugs off of each other. That's my kinda monkey.
218. The Monkey said:
Amanda B, Carol, while I appreciate your fascination with me and my kind, I most certainly do NOT appreciate all of the thinly veiled sexual innuendo that inevitably transpires when I am mentioned. The Monkey Race is much more dignified than a bunch of "Monkey=Vagina" jokes.
Now excuse me, I must go pick grubs off my brother's ass for lunch.

...In that picture of WindyLou and Heather, it kinda looks like Windy is peeking down the front of Dooce's shirt and grinning with excitement at what she sees. That's just what I think when I look at the smile on Windy's face and the direction of her eyes.
222. ashik said:
WOW. That monkey looks just like what I always pictured Moses to look like. No offense intended.. but it's just so wise looking, like "this is IT! I have found heaven." On the other hand, maybe Buddha is more appropriate.
223. Amanda B. said:
"Monkey Heaven" would be a great name for a band.
224. Shiz said:
Amanda B., in tenth grade, when a number of us from Cloverdale Jr. Secondary worked for the local McD's - actually a fairly nice McD's - a certain guy would always break out into:
"You KNOW it's troo-oo-oo-oo-oo, everything I doooooo, I do it for ... McDonald's."
Brings back memories.

Doo-Doo Balls
I think Heather may be referring to what my family calls doo-doo bals or doodie balls.
They're basically sugar, butter, cocoa, peanut butter, and oats. You drop them into piles and let them firm up in the refrigerator. And they do look like little piles of doodie.
245. Wen said:
Heather that's great news! I wish I was in Utah so I could do your hair and makeup for your interview!
I'm not though, so here's some tips for videotape:
No shimmer eyeshadow (it looks greasy)Same for too gooey lip gloss.
Make sure you use powder on your face right before they roll camera
Wear darker colors, but definitely no red, white, or anything striped.
Have fun, breathe, drink a little wine so you can relax first.
You'll be great, and YAY! Leta! for being so smart!

My boyfriend is pretty lost on the whole "blog" thing. I decided to set one up for us, just somewhere to keep pictures of all the trips we take. I was showing him Dooce and Crazyus as examples of how good it could look if I really took the time to learn what the fuck I'm doing, and to kind of explain the whole concept. He said it was creepy that I "obsessed" about someone's life. II guess it was because I knew the name of Chuck and Leta, and that Beth has crazy, paranoid, peeping neighbors. Has anyone else had this problem? That people are creeped out because you aren't creeped out about knowing so much about a person you've never met?

296. Katie-be-bored-at-work said:
Stacy, I totally feel your angst over the people being creeped out about knowing every aspect about someone you've never met. I think my boyfriend thinks I am obsessed with Dooce. Maybe I am. He's obsessed with the game Warcraft. Maybe we're obsessed because Dooce had the chutzpah to say what she thinks and didn't care if the corporate blowholes saw it or not. One of these days maybe I will get the cajones to be dooced. Anyway, we aren't weird because we read Dooce religiously and slack off at work because we want to see the newest pictures of Chuck (the cutest mutt ever). Okay, maybe we are weird for that, but who the hell cares? This website always brightens up the dismal monotony of my workday.
