Dooce-ay

Welcome to my latest addiction. The actual name is Dooce but the title is how Darin says it when he is poking fun at me. This blog came to my attention ages ago when Carrie put the link on her blog (I have no idea how she finds all this great stuff, but I'm sure glad she does!) and then Megan read it and couldn't stop talking about it. I stored it in my list of things to get around to since I was far too busy at the time to justify reading 4 years of blogging (just a little busy getting married and moving to another country - nothing major!). Well, I'm not so busy now and after close to 3 weeks I know way too much about this woman. To justify reading it now I tell myself it was no different than if it was on paper - and in our family, books are always allowed. It just took a little longer because the computer is not as portable as a paperback. (Also - it is amazing what you can get accomplished when you don't have a television!)

If you are at all curious here is the link (dooce). I know it should be in the sidebar under where it says links but I just can't get that figured out. Start at the beginning - it seems like a lot but you are not getting tested at the end so have fun and take your time. She is wickedly funny and has a very unique perspective on a lot of things. Now that I'm all caught up she is added to my daily blog reading.

If you can't get yourself to sit in front of a computer to read try Dave Eggers' A Heartbreaking Work Of Stagering Genious. This is Dave's memoir and it is an actual book. An award winning book. It's very good and along the same writing style of Dooce. Read it.
