Dooce!

One of my treats for my birthday week (yes, I said week) was to go to Austin and see Dooce at BookPeople. Dooce is actually Heather Armstrong, who authors a blog called Dooce that I just love. She is the mother of all bloggers and has managed to make her website pay the bills. Her topics are wide and varied, and I almost always finding myself agreeing with her point of view. She has recently written a book about her experiences with pregnancy, new parenthood and PPD, all of which I have also had recent experiences. Angela came with me and bought me the book, which Heather was nice enough to sign. As expected, Heather was funny and warm and was a great sport with all the book signings, considering she's 7 months pregnant with her second child. After the reading and signing, Angela and I toured around the mother of all Whole Foods and had an awesome dinner from the sandwich counter. I could seriously live in this Whole Foods. There is no reason to leave, it has absolutely everything in it. I would just need a cot somewhere to catch a few winks....I may just do that for my next birthday week :)
