It’s the Friday (w)rap-up, dawg.
This week, at Toulouse & Tonic, I wrote my most favorite post ever — a profane expose about the dysfunctional Berenstain Bears clan. Special thanks to Ninja Mom for letting me be one of her stealth assassins.
If you enjoyed The Berenstain Bears and Too Much TV: Bitch PLEASE, you’ll want to head right over to Ninja Mom’s Character Assassination Carousel. You’ll find links to loads of other hilarious take-downs of your most hated kiddie lit.
I want to say a special thank you for all the “liking,” sharing, tweeting and commenting…your support of the Berenstain Bears piece helped me have my biggest visitor day ever on the blog. And if you think I cared, you’d be very, very right. Cared is not a strong enough word. Obsessed is more like it. I spent the entire night staring at my stats page like a half-wit and constantly hitting refresh to see if I was there.
Hubs got in on the T&T action too, getting mucho husband-shamed over at Mommy Shorts. That’s him in the party hat. Isn’t he cute? But what he did was very, very, very bad.
Did I mention he asked me for a 3-month break on being made fun on the internet? More like 3 days. Ha!
Keesha Beckford interviewed me for her incredible blog, Mom’s New Stage. And she made me sound cool so, ya know, she rocks. Read it and find out why it’s stupid that I was posting recipes when I started my blog. You’ll also find out that I can’t answer ANY question in one sentence. Not even when the question says, “Answer in one sentence…”
The Christmas season will be in full swing as soon as you push your chair back from the Thanksgiving table. You might want to consider preparing yourself for the inevitable family dysfunction by reading Spending the Holidays with People I Want to Punch in the Throat. You’ll laugh, your giftees will love it, and shhhh…it’s a very inexpensive gift. Buy it on Amazon.com by clicking here.
Or even better, I’ll give you a chance to win an autographed copy or a Kindle Fire. Just enter here.
Next week, we’ll back on the bully shaming train. Friends and strangers have joined in, posting their own stories and I’m gonna share some of those with you. The stories are touching and even inspiring. Like the Bully Shaming page on Facebook and follow on twitter @bullyshaming. If you have a photo to share, tweet it or upload it here.
I’m EXHAUSTED from outing bears, shaming my husband and giving away copious lovely Christmas gifts. Blogger problems.
Enjoy the weekend and come back next week!
