The definition of gobsmacked

In what has to be a high point in dorkery, the only thing I could manage to say to famed Dutch for his unbelievable plug of this blog was the following:

I am Wayne (or maybe Garth)… and you are Stephen Tyler.

Dutch, Wood and sweet, sweet Juniper: do not be alarmed to see a very rotund Maritimer camped out on your lawn with pom-poms and platefuls of cupcakes.

“Sweet… Juniper!” (…is my new holy sh*t! exclamation for when something really bewilderingly lovely happens.)

Wonderful writing. Indeed a perfect comparison. Twins are tons of fun...and pain. Embrace.

Just came over from Parent Dish.

I'll keep reading. I've been reading Thordora's posts for quite a while.

Sweet Juniper is an excellent holy sh*t expression.

Party on Wayne.

Another one who surfed in thanks to the plug. And glad that I did! Your writing is captivating, your thoughts on motherhood and the ability to put them down so eloquently are a joy to read. You have probably earned yourself quite a few new spots on the bookmarks list. You're certainly on mine.

You are worthy, Missy. Very worthy. There are only a handful of blogs I check every day and yours (and his) is one of them.

That said, I was stupidly giddy when he left a comment on my blog--like a celebrity run in or something. Talk about dorky!

Wow, this has been so cool. I'm so excited to see some new 'faces' here, and can't wait to go peeking into some new blogs. So welcome, and thanks for piping up! Pumpkin spice cookies for everyone!
