SHINGLES!

I PASSIONATELY ENCOURAGE YOU TO CLICK ON THIS.

There is this woman, named Heather Armstrong, at dooce.com and she as revolutionized parenthood. In a nutshell, she blogs about her life as a mom and wife and person living on the planet. She is real and talks about things that are great and fun and also the things that are hard to deal with. It's this movement called "mommyblogging" and it is this fantastic support for moms so they all have someone to talk to who has been there before.

Allow me to just say that this woman is hilarious. and full of truth. but there are some people-- or shall I say, excuse my French, schoolboy bitches-- that like to send hateful things to her for no real apparent reason. Out of a STROKE OF GENIUS she turned all these ridiculous things into a website so she can profit from their stupidity when you visit it. so do it. and then read dooce every day. You won't regret it.
