NaBloPoMo is over.
I gave almost all I had to give.
You learned about my sordid past, how I met Cody, how I fell in love with Cody, how I became a Mormon, what a wicked awesome baker I am, how I got fat after marrying Cody, how I was an infertile science experiment, how I lost 60 pounds while pregnant, what a raging bitch I was when pregnant, how I overdosed when I was pregnant, how I almost threw my kid in a fire, that I dislike Utah, I have a best friend who takes lovely photos, I make out with pillows, I fake it for doctors AND I lock my kid in her room with bungee cords. Oh, and don’t forget all the Mormon pride I slung around like snowballs.
PHEW. That’s not even all of it.
So now’s your time to put out.
I want EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU (ALL OF YOU, YEAH, YOU) to delurk on this post. Even if you just say “yo”. But if you’re really feeling ambitious let me know what posts should be included in my “Best Of” collection. I want all of you accounted for, because you’re the only reason I didn’t give up on this madness when I was all hopped up on the Dramamine three nights ago.
So go, delurk, comment, NOW. See that little balloon right down there that says “Dazzlements”? Yeah? Okay click it, enter your name (you can even leave it blank and be known as anonymous), your email (it can even be a fake one if you’re that shy) and if you don’t have a URL leave that spot blank. Clicky “Submit Comment” and you’ll make me smile.
Haven’t I worked hard enough for it?

Your blog is a new favorite of mine. I love any and all Moosh photos. But even all her cuteness can’t trick me into wanting one!

I’ll delurk too. I love your blog – witty, clever, and best of all, it’s real! None of that, “I had a great day, life is gum drops and cotton candy.” crap. I read your blog and think, “I could have written that post.” or, “Yeah, I did that too when I was younger.” Except I generally don’t have the brain power these days to be so entertaining. I love the honesty and I adore the pictures!
I’ve been wondering, how did The Moosh get her name?

I’ve been thinking for DAYS on which one has been my favorite post. I think it’s a tie between Ever feel like the only one NOT pregnant and your baking post. That one still makes me salivate… mmmmm…. OF COURSE, being that I too love your bff Kim, I’ve enjoyed ALL of the posts about her beautiful face as well. I also enjoyed all of your real life posts, mommy crazies, depression. You write so well and have this uncanny ability to be able to tell it how it is. I thoroughly enjoyed the month of November with you. Thanks for keeping it up!

Whew, glad I commented last week after I re-found your blog! I didn’t feel a bit guilty at your call-out to lurkers. Anyhow, I love reading up on your life. I liked your meeting-Cody-becoming-mormon series just because I remember hearing about it from Emilie while it was happening. And I loved your honesty in your overdose post; I wish I would have known to offer support (if I could have!).
Happy blogging!
