Hi. I’m Heather B. Armstrong, and this used to be called mommy blogging. But then they started calling it Influencer Marketing: hashtag ad, hashtag sponsored, hashtag you know you want me to slap your product on my kid and exploit her for millions and millions of dollars. That’s how this shit works. Now? Well… sit back, buckle up, and enjoy the ride.

2005/02/14 at 1:41 pmWell, Canadian Amy, where does one find this Tahiti Treat? I think your little concoction of said drink w/ vodka and lime sounds splendid! And Lisa P., I wholeheartedly agree! Is there anything vodka is NOT spectacular with?? Hell, I have a cake recipe that requires vodka!

2005/02/14 at 1:37 pmWow, I leave the computer to watch General Hospital, and what do I miss?
Dooce, baby, I’ve got the tequila if you have the trapeze.
Sam — I’d be willing to try knocking you up. I’ve been called “Sir” enough times. . .
Lisa P.
2005/02/14 at 1:36 pmVodka is spectacular with most things.

2005/02/14 at 1:33 pmSam, oh yeah… go with a c-section for delivery — but make sure it’s an “East/West” incision. The “North/South” incisions will ruin your bikini line forever. 🙂
CanadianAmy
2005/02/14 at 1:34 pmAlas, Marie, not alcoholic but a fond childhood memory..
Now that you mention it, however, Tahiti treat would be spectacular with vodka and a dash of lime cordial…….

2005/02/14 at 1:32 pmMarie, I thought so too, I thought so too… so dang disappointed.

2005/02/14 at 1:16 pmSam – you kill me. (I’d strongly suggest c-section for the delivery of your love child)

2005/02/14 at 1:14 pmHey Scottypants – thanks for the dentata heart shout-out!
I’m headed home to clean up after my sex toys so they’ll be properly prepped for VD prurience.
*Y’all enjoy yer VD*
Marie
2005/02/14 at 1:11 pmDamn, Canadian Amy. I thought this drink was alcoholic! I was with ya, Moose, until her post!
And i SOO hope tomorrow’s picture is of Leta and the carrots!! (maybe with the pigtails and her spitting them on her li’l friend Izzy!)

2005/02/14 at 1:08 pmYeeeeha! Please put yeeeeha on the list of words to teach the little redneck woman soon. When my kid was almost 3, we were playing with her chalkboard and I said, OK, let’s make a list of all the words that begin with a B sound, like boy. She says, no, let’s make a list of all the words that begin with Yee, like YEEE-HA! Yes, redneck babies must also learn the letter Yee.
CanadianAmy
2005/02/14 at 1:06 pmmmm tahiti treat is the best fruit flavored pop on the planet…
I even had Tahiti treat lip gloss when I was a kid. I would lick my lips until they were all chapped, they smelled so goooood.

2005/02/14 at 12:59 pmMarie, I don’t know but I think I want me some.

What in the hell is “tahiti treat?”

2005/02/14 at 12:58 pmOh Dang, my favorite!
Rats in the front room,

2005/02/14 at 12:52 pmDooce,
I loved the U2 post. I have been unashamedly in love with Bono and the band since The Joshua Tree. Bono dedicated “Kite” to his dad, too, which makes me bawl.
Check out the DVD “U2 Go Home: Live from Slane Castle Ireland.” Bono does the most amazingly heartfelt segue between “All I Want Is You” and “Where the Streets Have No Name.” Seriously kick-ass. If you like to belt out U2 lyrics, that’s the one, baby. That’s the ONE!
Ew. Could I BE any more of a lunatic groupie? Hee.

2005/02/14 at 12:48 pmHenryk … and I should take *your* advice??
Kristine, it’s just cyber chocolate – c’mon, Dr. A wouldn’t mind…
Scott. You are not my father. Trust me.
And I’m thinkin’ I’ll stick with my red hot primate love. It’s puhlenty satisfying, thank you veddy much. Unless maybe there’s an opportunity with the Holy Ghost. Cuz, hm, that could be cosmic.
Sweet AmandaB, see above!
Ah, you doocelings add so much to my day. I heart you.
mg2
2005/02/14 at 12:32 pmThe mechanics of how one would go about “doing” the Holy Ghost are mind boggling. But not entirely outside the realm of reality… I think I’ll try it.
Closet Metro
2005/02/14 at 12:35 pmAmanda – according to Chef from South Park, there are many kinds of love, including “Simon and Garfunkel Love”
mg2
2005/02/14 at 12:31 pmAmanda B, you are being awfully selective with your love, aren’t you? Love should be all-inclusive. Hot, sweaty, shit-throwing primate hanky panky is a worthy competitor to your bastardized monkey love.
John Sloas
2005/02/14 at 12:20 pmThanks for the post. I’m a stay-at-home dad with 3 kids hoping that they will smile at strangers someday too–though they are not allowed to talk to them yet 😉
Amanda B.
2005/02/14 at 12:21 pmMoose- I am shocked at your question. Is there any type of love besides Monkey Love?
Ern
2005/02/14 at 12:24 pmSo.jealous.of.BFE. For a blessing has been bestowed upon her by the great Dooce Almighty. In the name of Jesus Christ Amen.
Mrs.Strizzay
2005/02/14 at 12:29 pmSo are y’all saying Dooce is the Holy Ghost?
Do mormons even “do” the holy ghost?
mg2
2005/02/14 at 12:15 pmBUCKSTER! You just got the dooce-approval, which is similar in stature to being one of Christ’s chosen children. Can I come to yalls party? Huh? Huh? Or is it a “private” party kinda thing? Because in that case, I REALLY wanna come, and so does Tammy Littlenut.
kristine
2005/02/14 at 12:14 pmOkay, I’ve been kicking around this idea:
*Everything I ever learned, I learned from reading Dooce*
* If you have cabbage in your bra, embrace it!
anyone else?
Scott
2005/02/14 at 12:13 pmMG2 – Of course you are the Queef Master. I mean, come on! Is there really any competition?
Moose – I am your father. Search your heart. You know it to be true. I mean… Yeah, trust me red hot simian love is great. That’s why I have monkey bars in my bedroom!
Ern
2005/02/14 at 12:12 pmIndeed, a very nice post, BFE. What we were all thinking, only put more nicely (kinda like a little Dooce acholyte, eh?)
In the spirit of love that seems to be going around, I haven’t got any chocolate, but I made the most delicious sugar cookies in the world yesterday, so help yourselves!
*Erin offers cookies with frosting and sprinkles*

Dang Cold.., I love that you have become the official greeter. Your are so hospitable. Hospitality is a wonderful thing. Enjoy your dinner out with Mrs. Cold.
Now, here are some gooey cupcakes with little heart sprinkles, left over from the 3rd grade party, take one and pass the tray . . .

2005/02/14 at 12:11 pmI love the poop candy!
I’m on Atkins and ALL CANDY ON ATKINS is poop candy!
I found a picture for dooce. It was the ‘chocolate covered prunes’ picture I took.
That’s the only thing I’m giving out this VD…
happy ‘choco covered prunes’ day Dooce!

2005/02/14 at 11:55 amO. My. Gosh. the pigtails are too cute for words. And the baby love is too cute for words. I just told my husband today I’m not sure I could handle having kids, but now you’re making my biological clock tick 🙂

2005/02/14 at 11:20 amSCOTT. What about ME?? Am I your Queef Master or what, bitch?
Stacy
2005/02/14 at 11:20 amLadybug- I agree. It is a nunya business kinda thing. Why the hell would any one care about his ex wife? Jesus people. Dooce, I used to do the same wondering about my future husband, too. I would worry he was sleeping around, giving away my loving to some slutty teen and receiveing the clap in return. Little did I know not only had he spreadeth the love around, he was already married…with kids no less. Funny how things work out.
Scott
2005/02/14 at 11:13 amMoose – We should all be down with the monkey lovin’. Trust me. I also gave a shout out to Girl A with the Dentata heart. I hope she enjoys it.

2005/02/14 at 11:19 amYou guys with your father stories are making my eyes as moist as Bucky’s snack cake! All mildewy.
My daddy is a wonderful father, although we’ve had our ups and downs, and I want to tell him now more than ever how much he means to me. But the best part about my daddy? He already knows.

2005/02/14 at 11:07 amErin H, tough story. My heart goes out to your family.
Circus Kellie, what a story you told! Sounds like it’s been a rollercoaster ride.
BFE, yes you should get mushy more often.
I’m thinking maybe another round of chocolates for the Dorkling Dooce Squad!
Dang, good for you for treating your wife like royalty. You’re a good man.
