NGIP Spills It Over At Merlotmom

I'm blogsitting for Merlotmom today while she's in Japan and you know what THAT means! PARTY AT MERLOTMOM'S! Everybody follow me over there; you people in the back can just keep your eye on this little doo-hickey on a stick that I'm holding up way out here in front, or just follow the crowd.

By the way, there's a wine cellar. And since I'm guest blogging and drinking and can't keep my big trap shut, I reward you for that extra click by divulging a big secret about Merlotmom. So, if you decide to blab it to the rest of the world, don't mention my name. The post is entitled: Guest Blogger Makes Herself at Home. And Spills.

Georgie over at Confessions Of... has a sister she calls The Faloozie - I'm sure it comes from love. The Faloozie sent her a funny little piece that may hit a little too close to home for us bloggers. It's called A Living Will and it's pretty dang funny. WARNING: If you are in your office, or the baby has finally, by the grace of God, fallen asleep, turn down your volume before heading over there. At press time, I got blasted by The Scorpions. Listening to her playlist may bring visions of Hair Bands and Flashdance and MTV (back when they used to play music videos) and all things 80s. Plus a little Gwen and Beyonce thrown in for good measure. A big THANK YOU to Georgie for adding Nanny Goats In Panties to her blog roll!

An NYC friend of mine got a new puppy: a Vizsla. I'd never heard of them before and suddenly it seems as though they are popping up all over the place. (Is there some psychological term for that phenomenon of things you thought never existed before but were there all along, you just became sensitized to it?) Apparently, these dogs are even blogging. Dennis The Visla of Dennis' Diary of Destruction is such a dog. His spelling is atrocious, but he's a dog fer chrissakes! This mattress-eating dog's latest adventure begins with a post called hay, thats my bed!!! beginning with Dennis The Vizsla's discovery of gophers making off with his mattress. This may be a job for The Mattress Police! Thank you, little doggie, for adding NGIP to your blog roll!
