Wow -- it never occurred to me to work the word "thong" in to a title to get more hits on my blog. Brilliant! :-)

FWIW, I'm doing the NaBloPoMo thing too, my third year running. My mom says she loves it because at least for those 30 days, she knows I'm alive. Good thing she doesn't know that I sometimes write ahead and schedule the posts. :-)

I LOVE your blog, and I'll definitely be popping over to Amy's.

Awesome, Mad Woman! Pleased to meet you! I'll take you and Keely as the authoritative word on our cross-cultural comparison here.

Yes Ginny, punching up your titles never hurts. Thong is a good one, can't wait to see my google traffic. LOL.

David Sedaris rocks. And having lived in Canada and now living in NZ, I tend to agree with his statement. Your sister is in good (or crazy) company for NaBloPoMo. I too am doing it.

And now I'm off to add you AND your sister Amy to my own blogroll cos you make me laugh :)

Awesome. Australia IS very similar to Canada. With, yes, the notable exception being Canadians are much less often found in thongs.

I signed up for NaBloPoMo, and am not sure why. We'll see if I can actually get through the first week, much less a whole month!

(Note to self...need catchier titles...with words like "thong.")

I read that Sedaris on Oz piece too. I'm with Kate - he's grown over the years, and grown on me in the growing.

If I were clever, I would figure out a way to work the transitive verb thing in there, since I just wrote some form of "grow" three times, but here's proof I'm not clever. Or if I am, I'm just real tired. Yeah, that's it.

Way too tired to blog 30 days runnin', too. But I'm all over the Down Under with love!!

Blogging every day? Nuh uh. Not me. Too stressful.

Good Luck!

Of course I meant "whose". It's just that in Australia, they say who's. Um, yeah.

Okay, "Canada in a thong"--that is hilarious. I am still laughing about that. Thanks for the plug, Beck! I remember sitting with you in the Arby's parking lot in NC while you blogged through Thanksgiving weekend. I only hope I can display a fraction of the strength and the resolve that you had.

And though you have more blog readers, I think we both know who's A gets kicked around the block on Facebook. Ahem.

Your sister is a brave woman. Committing to blogging every day would likely kill me. My lazy gene just would know how to evolve.

I LOVE David Sedaris. The nablopomo thing? Not so much. And it makes me think of NAMBLA. And I don't want to think of NAMBLA.
