First of all, I finally figured out how to post something that doesn’t suck on MamaPop: all you do is you borrow good stories from other people’s web sites. And that’s how gossip spreads, children! So wash your hands after you read this.
I’m actually not much on celebrity gossip, I read People at the dentist’s office and that gives me my yearly dosage of actors on TV shows I don’t watch modeling clothes I can’t afford, BUT I am very much interested in knowing insiderish stuff about who’s going to be in which upcoming movies. And Lo, a bright light shone in the heavens and it told me to Google “movie rumors,” and thus I was smote by Variety.com and didst receive its blessings.
SECONDLY, with all the shoe posting? Some people have expressed interest in those Pumas I said I wanted to get rid of, so I put them on eBay along with two other pairs of Pumas (orange and blue) that I picked up a few years ago and have only worn once or twice because they just feel too young for me. And I don’t want to be one of those sad women creeping around the old-folks’ home wearing Candies and a push-up bra, and THAT’S WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I DON’T SELL THESE SHOES.
I’m off to Denver tomorrow morning, driving and parking and shuttling and flying and renting a car and huffing tiny packages of peanuts for as long as it takes to get me from here to my mom’s house, where I will then be able to stay put for a week. I know people are going to be anxious to hear who won the prizes and I will do my best to get the winners up ASAP, it’s going to take longer than I thought to check all the blogs (quitters!) but my hand to Owen Wilson’s broken heart I’ll get them all up by Sunday night, pinkie swear.

Are we supposed to be worrying about dressing too young now? Because I’m really attached to my “14-year-old skater boy” look. What will I put on my feet if I can’t pull off Chuck Taylors anymore? What will I wear if my Threadless and Fussy t-shirts are taken away?
I think I’m content to be the 40-year-old that everyone laughs at behind her back if it means I get to continue to dress comfortable (and dye my hair electric blue).
Awww.. SIZE 10?!? Come on! I thought you were one of us size 11 girls?? Way to string me along. Man, i was so excited…
Dainty size 10′s… grumble…
You can skip me right off the bat (I’m in the As). I buckled under the strain very early on this year, sadly. I did, however, manage to post 30 days of shoe photos on Flickr, so I accomplished SOMETHING.
adrienne, I think I’m actually a size 10.5 — all three of these size 10 Pumas ran large and fit me fine. Normally I end up buying elevens just because 10.5s are so rare.
AJ, I think the boy-look ages better than the babydoll look.
Lori, you should start an adjunct NaBlo Flickr group next year just for people like you, I bet it would be a hit.
Just wanted to stop by and say “THANK YOU!” for administering this on our behalf. I get so much joy out of NaBloPoMo and the randomizer–so many blogs to discover and read, and so much fun to give myself a challenge I can ACTUALLY MEET!
I hope I speak for all of us when I say that you deserve a prize (a really good one!) for your effort and for creating this wonderful and crazy community of people like me who have an excuse to NOT SHUT UP for an entire month.
And if you won’t award yourself a prize, I’ll send you one Do you have oierced ears?
if that flickr group exists, i’ll be sure to join it.
eden, i’ve also loved nablopomo, mostly the part where i found other people’s blogs that are INTERESTING and RELEVANT.
(the capitals are a hint to myself.)
but i also loved the bit where i leapt out of bed at 11:57 p.m. on thanksgiving eve because i’d forgotten to post anything that day.
it was like remembering to take out the rubbish.
love! and thanks! from leila
thanks for all yr work dude! I loved the noblopomo
Thanks for being the Ultimate Den Mom to all of us again!
Excellent choice on the “I did it!” badge, BTW. I was inspired to make my final post of the month a paean to our homeboy, Poppin’ Fresh — complete with photo. (Because nothin’ says lovin’ like something from the cyber oven.)
Don’t bother to check mine because I am a big quitter. I thought of sending an email to that effect the day after I skipped my first post but I was too lazy. surprise surprise.
I liked the pumas. I am (for the first time ever) sad that I am only a 9.
I did it! 2 years in a row now! Thank you Eden, I am not even going to envy you going through all those blogs. Maybe we could form a committee. You take a-c, I’ll tak d-f, someone else could take the next three and so on. However, whe you get to the t’s they’ll be just on their own.
A whole lot of quitters out there! But lots of us finishers too.
Thank you!
I. Did. Not Quit!
I just got super cranky and yelled at everyone, but kept going goddammit!
But seriously, Eden, have you considered asking for a meager joining fee (a dollar or two) so next year you could hire a cheap assistant to help you out during BloMo? It could be a cute high school kid. Think about it.
I am a 10.5 and I’m always torn between size 10s and size 11s – actually I think one of my feet is a 10.5 and one is a 10, so if the size 11s are dragqueen huge, I’ll uglystepsister my foot into the size 10s… and then curse and suffer and not wear the durn shoes.
I did all 30 days, even with my husband deployed in Iraq and I’m going to college full-time and I have 2 preteen sons who drive me INSANE – so there is no excuse for the peeps who quit. I want a doctors note from all of them
I’m lusting after the sockzombies – I think I’m going to have to just buy one from her shop. Whomever wins them better LOVE the heck outta them!!
Gossip. Interesting concept. Does that mean everything Bossy reads isn’t true? Huh.
