Diary of a Playgroup Dropout
The new bloggy thingy is up and running and purple. Purple! I had nothing to do with it being purple, but hey! Purple! In case you hadn't noticed, I like purple. You can click the purty banner thingy over on the right there, or you can just click here for the site or here for the feed. It's called "Diary of a Playgroup Dropout" because apparently they didn't like my other suggested title, which was "Adventures in Locking Your Infant Daughter in the Car, or, Trapping Yourself and Your Infant Daughter in the Car, or, Walking Around With Your Boob Hanging Out and Also Never Sleeping, Ever."
You should all go read it immediately, because otherwise you will miss the latest installment in the Saga of the Hotty Pediatrician, and I know you don't want to do that. So check it out, wouldya? And maybe even leave me a comment over there so I know you came by? Please? I'll send you virtual open-mouthed, drooly baby kisses that sometimes turn into baby bites from Mia if you do. And also maybe I will post almost a picture of my smokin' ass. (Ok, I'm gonna do that anyway, but let's pretend it is a reward for reading the new blog and not some sort of punishment inflicted upon you because I have a digital camera and boundary issues.)
Why are you still here? Go! GO!
(Some people are having trouble hitting the link, but some are not. Let me know if you can't get there, would ya?)
Posted by Beth at May 17, 2006 10:15 AMThe link isn't working for me :( ...
Can not go. Can not find page. How can you do this to us? Tempt us like this and then... nothing. WAH!
Posted by: MoMMY at May 17, 2006 07:41 AMYou will realise by now that the link isn't working. Not for me either and I might have left a comment. Just saying.
Posted by: belgianwaffle at May 17, 2006 08:49 AMSo exciting!!
Posted by: JuJuBee at May 17, 2006 10:13 AMPlace me in the ever growing "link doesn't work for me" crowd.
Posted by: Susan at May 17, 2006 10:24 AMNot workin' for me either - but you probably already figured that out. I just wanted to jump on the bandwagon. ;)
Posted by: Carrster at May 17, 2006 10:24 AMCouldn't get it to work, couldn't find it... Even went to clubmom.com and poked around looking for it (I'm stubborn what can I say)... Found the directory of momblogs, and did a search...
Nuthin!!! :P
And such a nice banner too!!
Posted by: Deepblue at May 17, 2006 10:39 AMNope. No linkage here. I was able to sign up for the feed, but it's only partial and when I try to read more, it kicks my sorry ass to the curb.
Posted by: Elaine at May 17, 2006 11:16 AMI visited yesterday and was able to read but not comment-- "page not found" and related crap. Loved the first post, btw.
Posted by: Jaycie at May 17, 2006 11:16 AMThe "here" link did not work, but clicking on the purty banner thingy did.
I don't think I like that they put your last name, but I really liked the post!
Now that you're all setup with two sites, please don't forget about Mia Monday!
Posted by: witchy_puppy at May 17, 2006 11:18 AMOh, hmm...so, my comment IS over there, even though I couldn't open the page yesterday. This morning, I got a series of "can't find page" messages that disappear with the press of the "back" button AND the pages open. Weird.
Posted by: Jaycie at May 17, 2006 11:21 AMnot working for me either- through bloglines and the txt link or through the banner from here.
Posted by: colleen at May 17, 2006 11:24 AMNo linkey. For what it's worth your DNS hasn't propagated. Either the folks at clubmom.com haven't set things up yet or it will take another 24-72 hours before the DNS records propagate throughout the 'net.
And now we present this comment in English!
The system that translates website names (playgroupdropout.clubmom.com) into the actual computer addresses (imagine a meaningless series of numbers here) doesn't have an entry for your website yet, or if it does it is either incorrect, or hasn't spread throughout the 'net just yet.
Posted by: TechDad at May 17, 2006 11:30 AMSeems to be working now.
Posted by: MoMMY at May 17, 2006 11:41 AMI can't get the link to work. But I will keep trying, goddammit.
Posted by: Rhonda at May 17, 2006 12:19 PMWaaah! I can't get it to work either. Even from the clubmom site it won't open. :(
Pout!
You know, my hotty pediatrician told me I look like I could use some sleep.
He is no longer hot to me.
In fact, HE IS DEAD TO ME.
Purple so works for you.
Posted by: RockStar Mommy at May 17, 2006 12:31 PMI can't get the link to work either, but I'll keep trying.
Posted by: Shelly at May 17, 2006 12:53 PM:( It doesn't work for me. WAH!
Posted by: Amy at May 17, 2006 01:11 PMYeah, it's working now! Love the first two posts.
Posted by: Susan at May 17, 2006 01:17 PMSorry - page not found!
Posted by: morethanamom at May 17, 2006 01:34 PMBooHoo- not working for me... Does this mean we get EXTRA pictures of that sweet little girl?

Posted by: Corinna at May 17, 2006 01:48 PMThe link's not working. SUCKS. But I found your profile. I'll keep trying. Can't wait to read your posts!

Posted by: Cathy at May 17, 2006 02:19 PMI can't get there! How can I stalk you if I can't read your blog?
Posted by: Jodi at May 17, 2006 02:19 PMLinkies still not working for me. I got there from http://playgroupdropout.typepad.com/
but the formatting looks kind of wonky. Also, when I tried to comment, it tried to redirect to the other address and I got the page not found notice again. I tried both IE and Firefox...
Congratulations, anyway, and they were both good entries.
Posted by: Kate the Shrew at May 17, 2006 02:28 PMAm going! swear! *runs and hides*
Posted by: Heather at May 17, 2006 02:33 PMApparently the link doesn't like me either. *doh*
Posted by: Heather at May 17, 2006 02:34 PM&%*$ing link hates me.
Posted by: OneCrueGirl at May 17, 2006 03:09 PMLovey, lovely! Great entries, Beth!
[And although I haven't spent too much time thinking about this, your last name is not what I would have expected. No idea what I was expecting, actually. Maybe I thought you were just Beth, like say just Cher or Madonna.]
:)
Posted by: Jacqueline at May 17, 2006 03:10 PMCan't get any of the links to work.
Posted by: Natalie at May 17, 2006 03:20 PMWHAT!!?? I think the Boob Hanging Out one would have been just about the greatest blog title, ever.
Posted by: Gavin at May 17, 2006 03:29 PMIt's 2:44 in Texas, and I can't reach your other blog. I even went to Club Mom and tried to link from there, but still, I got nothin'.
Posted by: Emily at May 17, 2006 03:36 PMYay! It finally worked. And I even left you a comment over there so you feel loved. ;)
Not working...
Posted by: J at May 17, 2006 04:21 PMIt's not working for me either.
Posted by: L. at May 17, 2006 04:41 PMI tried the link and it totally worked for me and I even commented the wittiest comment you've ever read.
(j/k)
Posted by: Paige at May 17, 2006 05:21 PMNot working for me either. Was it just a gag, the hotty doc story. Were you just trying to see if we will follow direction????
I'll try it again later.
Posted by: Melissa at May 17, 2006 05:46 PMNope, the link doesn't work for me either. :(
Posted by: JJ at May 17, 2006 05:53 PMthe link isnt working for me:-(
Posted by: Katherine at May 17, 2006 06:50 PMThe link works fine for me and I LOVE the new site!!!
Posted by: Andrea at May 17, 2006 07:14 PMFinally got in-yeah!!!!!
Posted by: Jodi at May 17, 2006 07:44 PMLooks good I even commented!
Posted by: Sabrina at May 17, 2006 08:36 PMBeth,
I don't normally comment, and this comment is only meant to help you - not be rude. On your profile over at your new site you wrote "I'm a stay-at-home mom to a my daughter born in July, 2005 and looking forward to meeting other moms though my new ClubMom blog" - the sentence has an extra "a" in it before my daughter. Just thought I'd let you know so you can correct it.
Thanks!! Your new site is great!
how come the link doesn't work? when i went to the site earlier today, it worked, but very very annoyed ads came down from the top and wouldn't go away, even when clicking the "x". this is all very strange.
Posted by: RzDrms at May 17, 2006 09:03 PMLinks not working for me today. :(
Posted by: Jen at May 17, 2006 09:19 PMcan't get there via the links

Posted by: Melissa at May 18, 2006 03:59 AMno can get there, not from here not from there... and I am missing out on kisses and smoking hot ass!
Posted by: stinkerbell at May 18, 2006 08:34 AMwell today - the link is "not available from [my company name]" BLOCKED before I even got to visit. I hate big brother. Hmph. I'll have to visit from home.
