29 and counting
May 9th, 2008 by mr lady
See this? Yeah, you’re reading that right. 970 posts. This one here’s gonna make 971. That means that in 29 posts, which is embarrassingly enough just about 29 days, I’m going to hit 1K.
Here’s the thing. I never did one of those 100 Things posts, because I didn’t read mommy blogs back then. Hell, I didn’t know there were mommy blogs, or any blog that wasn’t political or educational, back then. I didn’t know I should do a 100 Things post.
The other thing is that I can’t manage to put together 7 things about me. The only thing that bores me more than CSI NY is me. But, I am about to hit a benchmark of sorts, and I feel that there should be something happening to mark the occasion, and since martinis and petit fours don’t really translate over an internet connection, I had another idea.
YOU GUYS know stuff about me. You know loads about me. For example, from this post alone thus-far you know that I like politics and education issues, drink martinis, would actually try to insert a petit four into a blog post, and that CSI NY is my least favorite CSI. I would never normally think of any of that stuff. And with it…
YOUR MISSION, SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO ACCEPT IT:
We have 29 days to come up with 1,000 things about me.
Leave what you know in the comments box. Let’s try to avoid the “She’s hot”s and the “She’s a terrible mother”s; we will have nothing but that otherwise. Dig deep, dear readers. It’ll be a fun experiment in how much we can actually learn about someone just by reading their blog.
29 days left…..gogogo!

You are an accomplished hair braider!
punk rock mom’s last blog post..Get Up. Stand Up. Stand Up For Your Rights
You like Pinky AND the Brain, that should be 2 things.
Xbox4NappyRash’s last blog post..Better than Christmas
I think she’s a noble soldier of truth wielding a sword of intellect and humor.
I think it’s very lucky that someone as idealistic and vulnerable as her has the tools of expression she does……
Otherwise?
There would REALLY be whiskey in that sippy cup.
christy’s last blog post..I’ll fly away
You are a natural on camera and should have your own food network show.
BTW, your stuffed tomatoes looked ten times better than mine, so that obviously makes you a good cook, too.
You can braid hair really fast!
And you don’t care that your daughter puts gobs of lotion in her hair while you braid it! LOL
Robina’s last blog post..Picture Stories!
You are 7% class.
You have a secret love affair going on with the Hotfessional.
You wear tops that show your cleavage.
(Like how I snuck in that middle one?)
Ree’s last blog post..Bang Head Here.
I’ve been reading your blog for just a few days, but having read all your entries in Discovering Dad’s series, it’s been a full few days.
- your kids are growing up to be eloquent and capable (at least in the kitchen!)
- you are frank and uninhibited and real about your relationship with The Donor
- you like nicknames
- you are a fellow Western Canadian (though I’m a little further north than you…)
I think I could personally make a list of at least a hundred things already, but I’ll leave room for your many admirers/readers. (That’s another point — that you have a huge following.)
So glad to have found you!
Fawn’s last blog post..3 Random Finds
You like parmesean.
And you want to makeout with Ohmommy.
And you don’t have your work visa.
MomBabe’s last blog post..Untitled
Perhaps I should revise to say not Western Canadian, but at least that you live in Western Canada. The first way might be a bit contentious, EH?
Fawn’s last blog post..3 Random Finds
You like Fugazi. I am still amazed.
You love to re-arrange the house. I get that.
You have more pruses than shoes. Still trying to understand.
You were beautiful when pregnant for the first time. Almost, as much as I was.
You have Jesus dolls around the house.
OKAY. Dude. I can go on for hours. This was a great idea and many congrats!!!! Have an awesome Mother’s Day.
OHmommy’s last blog post..Motherhood Has No Script
My favorite thing?
You placed an ad for a babysitter on Craig’s list.
If I recall, that was the post that caused us both to delurk and be open with the world about our love.
Loralee’s last blog post..Sideblog: Update
You are from DE.
You love Cheesesteaks
You once lived in CO
You rock my world
Alison’s last blog post..Apparently I Can Be Random in the Middle of the Week, too
1. You make your commenters do the heavy lifting
2. You’re a good delegator
3. You’re hot
4. You like it when the rules are broken
You’re a closet Gilligan’s Island fan who has a secret yearning for the Professor.
You were actually raised in Amish country, but rebelled when you were trampled by the family ox.
I’ll do some more research and get back to you.
NukeDad’s last blog post..You Wanna Kiss Me Before You Give Me That Invoice?
Um…hmmm. Stuff you may NOT know.
I love peanut butter.
I am incapable of resisting a guy with a guitar.
I cannot fluently speak any foreign language.
I bit my nails until they bleed.
I named my kids after a sandwich.
I married my second boyfriend.
Joe Vs the Volcano is my favorite movie.
Okay, the count thus-far: 38. Not too bad, in an hour or two, kids!
Do you really want me to do this?
- You have a near-photographic memory for reciting movie scenes.
- You cling to certain aspects of the past like a security blanket.
- You have personality x-ray, finding and revealing the hidden beauty in everyone you befriend. People flock to you because of this. Call it charisma.
- Your mad parenting skills are due in large part to allowing your inner child to come out. Kids love you. Again, charisma.
- You may be sophistcated with your martinis and gourmet cuisine, high-end bars and little black dresses but never too good to associate with the rest of us. (or post pictures of poop on your blog)
- You have perfect handwriting and you are a total closet artist. Wish you would put aside your modesty and post more of your art.
- You are the Pet Assassin
- You are the Delawarian
- You are the God’o'Editors
- You have more holes in your ears than anyone else I know.
- You have creepy long toes.
-
-
-
I’ll come up with more if you have trouble reaching 100 (which you won’t)
-You are blog platform obesessed.
-You love vinegar in a creepy kind of way.
oh and you are hot.

PS. Happy Mother’s Day!
Kim’s last blog post..Before I Was A Mom - Happy Mother’s Day
50! Woo Hoo! 1/20 of the way there!
I know that you are completely and totally fed up and distraught with your husband’s total disregard for the cleanliness of the family toilet, and that it happens SO often its beginning to drive you nuts.
Authors note: This comment is what I like to call a “blogamble”, and occurs due to the online phenomenon of not being able to pick up on the commenter’s facial expression or inflection. You are either going to get that I am totally kidding and good-naturedly poking fun, or take complete offense to this and burn me.
Matt’s last blog post..10 Ways to Create an Eco-Friendly Nursery
Your daughter puts tons of lotion in her hair and you remain completely composed, you obviously have patience coming out your a$$.
Allie Bear’s last blog post..Yes, I can read.
You tell the best birthing stories I’ve ever seen. I nearly peed when I read the last one.
Man, and I thought coming up with 100 Things after 100 posts was going to be hard. Dang, this takes the cake–
So much is already covered–and yet, I have a feeling we’re just getting started.
1. You are a fiercely loyal friend.
2. You are humorous in an effortless sort of way (though you probably don’t think you are, which just proves my point–you don’t have to try).
3. You are tough . . . but you have a huge heart and spill tears with the best of ‘em.
4. You have awesome taste in music . . .
5. You have a way with words and I do not doubt that WIMSC will be in hard back form one day soon . . .
LaskiGal’s last blog post..100 Posts . . . oh, boy.
1. I’m not playing unless the one I list can be #1.
2. I think one of your birthing stories should be among the five links you send me. Clearly, you are an ace at those, according to one of your commenters.
Deb (Missives From Suburbia)’s last blog post..You Don’t Have To
1. You are a smartass … and a good one at that.
2. You are great about replying to blog comments.
3. You have great recipes.
4. You don’t care if your commenters, (or emailers) are bad spellers. In fact, you’re good at making fun of them even if they aren’t!
5. Strangers want to meet you. This summer. It shall happen!
Giraffe Parade’s last blog post..Friday 14
63? Maybe?
No chance y’all will start numbering these as you go, is there?
Oh, wait, it’s MY stupid blog. I should have to do SOME of the work, huh?
1. You love me.
2. You’re a shmexy beast - err…lioness.
3. And, you braid your kids hair with candy still in it.
4. And your kids rock out at cooking (as do you)
5. And, hey. I want to meet you too. Why does Sarah get all the fun?
Ashley’s last blog post..So much for the bottoms
I wouldn’t even know where to begin.
And, if I did, I probably couldn’t actually put it in a comment box.
P.S. I play guitar, you know. You never told me to bring it out to the bars!
andy’s last blog post..All Good Things?
She references Monty Python like a woman after my heart.
She gets cheap thrills out of crashing random computers with snapshots of Dora the Explorer cars filled with poop.
She says ‘fuck’ almost as often as I do. (Which is totally HAWT.)
One day she and I will move to Utah and do the whole “I have two mommies” thing in style.
Judith Shakespeare’s last blog post..Hair Product Weighs At Least a Pound, Right?(Fat-Free Friday)
You love and appreciate all kinds of music, your parents were musicians and they have given you that ability (even though that’s all they ever gave you that was good).
You struggle with really sad things but you don’t shy away from them.
You have a kindred spirit in Australia
(Was that too groupie? Yeah, ok).

-You have the best laugh of all time.
-Your first car was a red Datsun named Betsy.
-Mama.
-John Irving changed your life.
-Arthur Dent changed your life (okay, I must admit that I’ve read half of it).
-Your children are borgs.
-You were named Mr. Lady by my boy, because whatever he needed to tell you was WAY more important than remembering details like your name.
-Your children, however, have always, with the utmost respect, called me Miss Molly.
-Your middle child is the reincarnation of Eddie Haskell.
-Your eldest is proof that God exists. Sorry, haters.
-Your youngest is going to land you on Supernanny. Hee hee.

I already emailed you before I looked here, but you are the ONE to sit on the side patio and shoot the breeze with.

You can write insanely funny posts about weed (and 4/20), and make reformed potheads wish they lived in Canada.

Oh, and sometimes you like to post blogs written with your friend, Huckdoll.

[Mr Lady] Oooooo, 109….
Ummm, not adding anything to the 1000. just saying “ooh, pretty” about your new look…. have a fabulously lazy mother’s day.
MomBabe’s last blog post..Where have all the little girls gone?
Just 1000? Where do I sign up? I got the goods. A lot was already said but I can cover well more than tye pre-determined amount.
1. you can’t sleep with the tv or the lights on. No distracting you from your rems.
2. you are like mr. pibb and red vines - crazy deliicious.
3. speaking of red vines, you can’t eat them - you are allergic to red food coloring.
4. you hate the bickering at pta meetings and wish they would all stop their bitching.
5. you hate social situations where you have to meet people. It makes you sick to your stomach - ironic because you are such a natural at it. People love you.
6. you don’t want the donors mother to know you have a blog.
My fingers are numb - doing this on my phone. Will be back with plenty more.
[The Incubator] 115, and he didn’t bash me! Yet.
Love this new platform. I have been playing around with mine and think I will make the switch too. It is so easy to use, thanks for the heaads up.
OHmommy’s last blog post..A Private Letter to my Mama.
ok, you never know where your keys are.
you lose your phone - constantly
you like to wear fleece - especially mine
you need a haircut
you have two tatoos
you are a Lost addict
q-tips are your best friend, but putting the used one in the garbage just annoys you
you have more shoes than you let on
you still have a box of sugar packs that is probably 15 years old
you don’t actually drink martinis, but those fruity drinks served in martini glasses.
you have a great sense of humor and are not afraid of launching snot rockets when the donor makes an ill timed and very un pc comment about the ministry of silly walks.
I’ll get back with more
[Mr Lady] 127, and let the (much deserved and shockingly accurate) bashing begin!
You are honest.
