Annoucement: Weekend Blog Hoppers Kicks Off

Unless you are a parent blogger, please step away from the computer. There is nothing to see here. No funny stories about me getting duped by Fury. No cute anecdotes, no tips, no nothing. In fact, if you click below, you will realize what a "special" group of individuals we mom and dad bloggers are. And I mean special in the most euphemistic way...

If you do happen to be a parent blogger, then I cordially invite you to join me. It's BYOB, but there are no sobriety checkpoints on the info superhighway. Also, no walk of shame involved.

Introducing the Weekend Blog Hoppers

And just when I thought my weekend was spoiled due to a sick kid! * Hiccup * I miss going out on weekends to places other than Chili's, Buffalo Wild Wings and the local Mexican joint only to be home by 8:30. *Hiccup* Death to 14 year old Babysitters at $10 tax-free an hour *hic*
-----
[BuzzeeDad] Say goodbye to the 8:30 blues! Although I do have to say Buffalo Wild Wings rocks. Let's get 50 wings for post hopping?

January 19, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterMmmBeer

Tonight. I think tonight is the night for me!
-----
[BuzzeeDad] Let's tear it up!

January 19, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterSecret Agent Mama

I have begun my weekend excursions! Hopefully I will have two more website of mine to add to the list by next weekend! Oh yeah, you have officially been blogrolled on The Wise Mommy! :)

Okay.. I am so in.. I will think of a clever name.. I can also use my previous life as a bartender to mix up some drinks!!
-----
[BuzzeeDad] OH! We SO need you on board Kim. Yes!

January 19, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterKim

Man, you west coasters have got it going on. I was about down for the count when you all really got going. I'm in the Easter Standard Tribe (hat tip to Cory Doctorow)

* moderation. gotta remember, moderation *
-----
[BuzzeeDad] You can lead the early charge, Chas. I'll bring up the PST. And moderation? Who needs moderation? Unlike real life, we've all got Edit Buttons ;)

January 19, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterChuck

Ok. I'm in. Am a little too brain fried at the moment to come up with a clever alter ego... we stayed in last night but had people here pretty late. I'm assuming that there will be a Saturday night blog hopping event??
-----
[BuzzeeDad] Sloshed parents will be out in force tonight, oh yes. I'll add you on and update your name when the muse strikes you.

January 19, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterCableGirl

Thank you and thank you again. Me love a good party, and haven't really been to one in about, ah, 8 years (guess how old the son is?). And you can bet I'll be drinking something rather alcoholic at this party. Different time zone too, but why don't we make them all nighters?
Sign me up BuzzeeDad, what a great idea! My stats:

Blogname: A Day in the Life
url: www.gliks.blogspot.com

My party moniker: Pomtini
-----
[BuzzeeDad] Funny how you can carbon date our social lives by the age of our kids isn't it? No, what's the word I'm looking for? um.. SAD. Hopefully this fills a bit of the void. Glad you could make it to the partay.

January 19, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterKaren MEG

Count me in!
-----
[BuzzeeDad] Cheers! See you after the kids go to bed.

January 19, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterAmanda

Hey all; sorry for being late to the party. But now I have both red wine AND a pineapple cooler to keep me warm on this cold, cold night. I'd like nothing more than to start mingling, so off I go.

If anyone wants to pull me aside for a conversation, stop on by my corner of the room at:

I'd Rather Be Blogging
-----
[BuzzeeDad] Oh you're not late. The west coast contingent is just getting started! Welcome.

January 19, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterMaureen

January 19, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterMadameMeow

I'm here I'm here! Man I wish I would've remembered to have gone out to get some drinks. Drats! I'm craving Mimosas for some really strange reason? This was a great idea! :)
-----
[BuzzeeDad] Oh, we'll be doing this for a long time. There's always next week. For now, just open anything you can get your hands on.

January 19, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterAshley Sanders

[BuzzeeDad] I'm gonna put you in charge of snacks. Your mission? Get them at CVS and spend no more than $2.76.

January 20, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterJenny from Mommin' It Up!

Hey Buzzee Dad... I'm showing up way late to the party but you know what they say about the hair of the dog. It's 5:00 somewhere. It's also 10 degrees here today. I'm thinking hot toddies to start..
-----
[BuzzeeDad] Well I can't argue with ironclad logic like that! Welcome to the Blog Hoppers!


January 20, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterLizzie

Since Monday is holiday can we do this again tonight? I passed out way too early last night! I am such a light-weight!
-----
[BuzzeeDad] I like the "Any Time is a Good Time for IHOP" slogan, so I'm just gonna tweak it a little for our purposes here: "ANY TIME IS A GOOD TIME FOR BLOGHOP" - I'm sure others will be out playing tonight with you. I gotta work Monday, but a couple hops won't kill me right?

January 20, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterSexy Housewife

Sounds good. Let's party! Just a reminder, I'm a total lightweight. One drink and I tell ya all my secrets!
-----
[BuzzeeDad] Well that alone is reason enough for you to join us!

January 20, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterSWC

Just wanted to thank you for the awesome party that lasted into the wee hours of today...

I have NEVER had 30+ comments to a post before. I am floored and ever so thankful for this great idea. I have so many new blogs to visit now.

Hope you recovered nicely from the shindig... can't wait for next weekend!
-----
[BuzzeeDad] WOW, that's great to hear. I never expected this to be so well received. I'm really happy it's been so fun for everyone involved. I always loved a big party.

January 20, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterMaureen
