there might be some cake in it for you
Edited to add: There will be NO new posts until ALL the lurkers out themselves. Say hello! I know you are out there. And I love you, see? And I’m all out of thing to write about. So share your ideas! Audience participation! Help me, please!
I have cake! Lots of cake . . .
Okay, I’ve got nothing today. The kids and I are exhausted; we picked Henry up at school, had lunch, and all fell asleep. Henry is up now but poor Charlie, apparently worn out from all the pottying, is still sleeping. Or maybe his crazy hat just made him tired.
Anyway, thanks for all the good potty advice. I think Misfit will certainly be getting some cake for the Big Bribe Plan. And she gets to be Charlie’s Potty Godmother. Isn’t that nice?
I was excited, though, about how the mention of Charlie using the potty brought so many folks out of the woodwork! Like Katie, who has a very funny blog of her own. So today is Friday Playdate’s Delurking Day! Offer parenting tips! Make fun of my son’s hat! Just say hello!
There might be cake . . .

Yo, sup? Long time reader, long time commenter. Can’t seem to shut up.
Might want to fidget with the Katie link…

Fixed the link. Go visit Katie.
Do you SEE why I need you, readers?

Cake! And Godmotherness! My day is made!
And NO WAY will I make fun of the hat. He’s totally accessorized, with the shades and the neck…thingie.

It’s a COMPASS, Misfit, can’t you tell? In case he gets lost on his way to Lalapalooza.
Now just imagine him dancing around to The Proclaimers and you pretty much have a good picture of my day.

The hat is awesome–I want one. Thanks for sending people over! It’s great to see people who leave comments and aren’t trying to sell me something.

Oh, Katie, don’t be so sure I won’t try to sell you something . . . my Arbonne empire has to start somewhere, you know.

I didn’t lurk quietly for long, because I enjoy your writing SO much, and I’m not very shy.

Cake for Cheryl! Cake for everyone who un-lurks!
Maybe I should have offered martinis?

Arbonne is the new Avon!
August 26th, 2005 at 7:16 am, Susan Says:
Susan, you can join me in my Arbonne Empire. Want to buy some eye serum? A lipstick? ANYTHING?
(And NO, people, I will NOT be selling Arbonne. Nor am I mocking anyone who does. Not much, at least.)

We have two or three of those hats kicking around. Katie can have one of ours. Every Canada Day you can buy ‘em at the Dollar Store for - two dollars. (False advertising, I’d call that.) But that’s okay. Two dollars for us is, what, 1.27 for you guys?
What kind of cake?

See. Now I can log in and pretend to be an anonymous lurker, even though I already posted. Because I need my Playdate fix, and Susan’s gone on strike. If I do this enough times, maybe it will work??
Just call me Jane Doe Lurker

Crayonz, is that you? Knock it off.
Okay, just kidding.

Man, I get blamed for something I didn’t do?
I’m about 99.9% sure it was another one of your admirers. Me thinks it was Misfit, but it seems I’ve read about somebody and their Playdate fix before. I can’t seem to put my finger on it.
August 26th, 2005 at 12:59 pm, Susan Says:
I blame becaues I love.
And honestly, if I had ANYTHING to write about, I would, but I’m tapped out. Somebody PLEASE give me some ideas.
Oh, wait, I know . . .

Cake? I love cake!

Matthew, if ANYONE deserves cake, it’s you!
Hooray for cake!
