Blog Hero(ine)
May 23rd, 2006
So while I was in Orlando, Angela produced a fantastic These Days segment on mommy-blogs, and landed my Number One Blog Hero as a guest! If you haven’t read Heather Armstrong’s blog, dooce, please click here immediately and revel in her hilarity, sarcasm, brains, photography skills and great haircut. While her blog certainly has a strong focus on her daughter, she’s been blogging much longer than she’s been a parent. Even it you’re not with child, you WILL be amused. I’m still green with envy over the fact that Angela got to do a pre-interview with Heather, which invloved a long, one-one-one phone conversation.
The lovely and talented Aaryn called in to the show with completely appropriate dooce gushing - which I would have done myself if I had been in town (and by the way, I haven’t told Aaryn this yet, but her blog is so good that she’s running a close second to dooce). Other guests included Aaryn’s friend Samantha and this wacky dad who tracks his daughters development with all kinds of charts, graphs and statistic. It’s worth a visit to his site for the diaper telemetry alone.
I can’t believe that I was in theme-park central for 5 days and 5 nights (that’s 15 meals to account for) and didn’t manage to sample a single morsel of Chef English’s wares at bluezoo. Life can be SO unfair! At least the Shitome (fancy for Hawaiian swordfish) with curried coconut peanut sauce at Roy’s on night number 5 was a just reward after the piles of hotel iceberg lettuce for lunch…
And I was DEFINITELY remiss not to mention Roy’s, where a delightful meal was had by all. Still recovering from the delirum of too much recycled air…
Aw shucks. You’re making me blush. To be honest, it’s never felt so good to be Number Two, if you know what I mean.
