For today, we want to do a kind of “old and new” post. We’ve made some new supercool blog friends in the past couple of weeks and wanted to give a shout out. If you’d like some blogroll love, please drop us a line.

First, there’s MPM over at the MentalPause Chronicles. She’s awesome unless you were her college English professor. If so, sorry, you’re screwed buddy. Also…she luuuuurves her some earthworms. Send her pictures Next, is MPM’s friend Annie B over at the Tombstone Chronicler. She also loves earthworms and the South Beach Diet. Did I mention she loooooooooves the South Beach Diet? We are also deeply enjoying Noble Pig who is supercute and takes the most scrumptious pictures of food. And there’s Crazy Texas Mommy. This woman is totally sniffing my brand of crazy, is all I’m saying Coming in in wee hours of the night is Casey. I loooove this girl’s blog and hope she comes back and stays awhile.   Then there is Mamatulip. She’s in a class by herself is all I can say! Much love.

If you’ve got any suggestions for other cool places we should visit, send ‘em on over.

For the old…we thought it was time to revamp/revisit the DTBMULF Dictionary. We think we’ve got a nice start, but are always looking for new/funny content. Thanks to Angela again for coming through with a new and spot on word. This is just volume I of the dictionary. You can click on the “dictionary” link to the left if you’d like to see more. Here she blows…
