Strollerderby Playdate: One-On-One

Posted by Kelly Mills

one on one loooveGenerally for these little gatherings I try and assemble a group of bloggers who amuse me and seem like fun people. But I have a confession: it might be square, but I'm generally a monogamist. In real life, I prefer the mom-date or dad-date to the group hug. I like the intimacy of yakking with one person, and it's also far easier to keep an eye on the kid when I don't have to talk to seven people at once about kindergarten and allergies and crap like that.

So I thought I'd select one bloggger who I wanna play with. Now, since this is the internet, I have no idea if they wanna play with me, so I'm just extending the invitation. Maybe they'll think I'm not the right kind of mom because I cage-sleep my kid or because my mom-jeans are too tight or whatever. Maybe I'll just come off as a stalker. All of the sudden this is starting to feel more like real life, and it's making me anxious.

'Kay, today's flavor is Mrs. Flinger. She won me over completely with her takedown of the Bumbo recall. She uses the f-word alot, AND in a funny way--double bonus. Note to future dates: f-word use is mandatory. I have my standards.

Anyway, I loooove you Mrs. Flinger, and I hope you wanna be my friend, even though I'm needy and you probably won't. Sniff. I love you. Love. You.

Love you. Call me?

Hey - interesting, I'm more likely to visit the link mentioned when there's only one - the 'playdate' with several links is too overwhelming - just an interesting note on user behavior - thanks for the rec!

Oh, Kelly, why did you introduce me to Mrs. Flinger? I am thinking of cheating on you now, don't you know? Would you mind if I loved both of you?

I know we just met, but I think I'm in LUFF. Like "OhMAhGah! Y'all! Look who just invited me ovah!" all 13 year old girl-ish style. Because you? Are awesome. And I don't just mean the fact that we both cage sleep our kids (I wrote that one months ago, complete with WWE image!) mrs.flinger.us/.../napping_cage_match_style)

But also that my jeans are too tight! And my arse falls out of them!

I'm honored to find someone as nerdy as me. Hellzya I'd play with you!
