Ok, so get this…about three weeks ago, I noticed a HUGE amount of traffic landing on my Beaver Babies post- like bees to honey, my friend, like dirty bees to honey.
Push! Push! I see the head! It’s a boy!
So I did a little investigation and found that the origin of this vag-u-cational frenzy was a blog called STFU, Parents ( www.stfuparentsblog.com ). I must spend the majority of my day with my head up my ass because I hadn’t heard of this blog. Naturally, I headed right over there and clicked the “about” page:
“STFU, Parents is a submission-based “public service” blog that mocks parent overshare on social networking sites. It was created in March 2009 and is an entertainment destination for thousands of daily readers. The site serves as a guide for parents on what NOT to post about their kids as well as a forum for non-parents to vent about their TMI-related frustrations.”
Well, as you know, TMI + Oversharing = One Classy Motha!
Yes, I could be the poster child for this site…or the mascot.
After I spending forever reading, laughing, and peeing my pants, I wrote Blair a “thank you for the shout out” email. And guess what? 1) She said she’s been a fan of mine for like ever (I made that up) 2) It was one of my readers that submitted my link to her (reader, you rock!) and 3) She has a book coming out on April 2nd and asked if I wanted to give one away on my blog! – Umm, Hell Yeah!!!
Aww, isn’t it beautiful?
Shh, it’s sleeping until April 2nd.
If you haven’t had a chance to check it out, here’s the summary:
“Are you a parent? Do you have friends who are parents? Do you have parents? Then chances are you’ve been exposed to the growing online phenomenon known as overshare.
From posting photos of baby’s first poo and the intricacies of placental crafts to sanctimommies declaring their child the most beautiful kid in the world and criticizing the parenting skills of fellow Facebook “friends,” STFU, Parents collects the most bizarre, hilarious, and horrifying examples of oversharing on the web. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll cringe at detailed descriptions of baby’s first blowout, but one thing’s for sure: You’ll never look at parenting the same again.”
Blair was kind enough to send me my very own copy, and guys…OMG…sooo hilarious! I read it in the bathtub so I don’t have to worry about peeing my pants (leave me alone, I had a big baby).
You can preorder the book here. But if you want to try to win it first, all you need to do is leave a comment at the end of this post. Your comment can be anything: tell me a little tmi story (I’m always up for those), tell me you love me (I really like hearing that), or tell me how often you shave your legs (and be honest- I’m collecting data to show Brian).
But just so you know, kissing ass won’t help your chances. Why not? Because the winner will be chosen by none other than Elefun! Ohhh Yeaaahhh! That’s right, I’m writing everyone’s name down on a little piece of paper, shoving them down Elefun’s trunk, and flipping on the switch! The first name that Ana catches in her little net will be the winner! The winner will be revealed on April 2nd via live recording. Don’t worry, I’ve done this before.
Oh, and I have a bonus gift for the winner – A One Classy Motha bookmark! You’ve heard of a bookworm, but have you heard of a booksperm? Booksperm:- You love to read, he loves to breed.
All this could be yours!
I’m so excited! Leave me a love note below- and Good Luck!
PS- Gift Idea: this book, a Beaver Baby, and a box of condoms would make an awesome baby shower gift!
Psst…If you laughed your ass off OR you cracked a shitty smile, please vote for me on your way out by clicking the Top Mommy Blogs button. (that’s it, just click) Thanks! Mwah!
