A little late to the game...

Does everyone but me know who Dooce is?  She is a mommyblogger who gets like 300 quadrillion hits a day and makes a ton of money on her blog.  And I hadn't heard of her until June of  Bye Bye Pie wrote about her monetizing her hate mail.  It seems as if not only is she incredibly popular, almost everyone hates her too.  Weird.  Well of course I had to go see what the deal was and I just don't get it.  She's cute and her kids are cute and her dogs are cute and she takes lovely pictures.  She says some swears that make me raise my eyebrows, but just 'cause I'm a bad swearer.  I just can't say cuss words comfortably, I can't order adult beverages at restaurants either.  But other than her having a strong opinion and being VERY forthright about parenting, I don't see the controversy.  I guess it's just jealousy.  I'm jealous.  She can blog and make a good living and is like famous, kind of.  But I don't hate her. 

Though she recently wrote about her baby making scary GOAT noises.  I take offense to that.  DOTTIE takes offense to that.  Now how would she feel if we accused Stella of making scary Dooce Baby noises?  Not too good, I'll bet...not too good at all.

  1. I have never heard of her,either. I am not even curious enough to go look. I rather look at your cute kids....and I love goat noises. I actually love goats, and if I lived somewhere where I could have them, I would. Love those dishes you got at the auction. My husband likes the early auction in E Corinth...he buys all kinds of treasures (to him). Hope your business is going well for you! Hugs, Kathleen

  2. Hate to say it Lisa, but I have never heard of her either and really could not care less. I went over there to have a peek, and sorry, I won't be back. She may have lots and lots of mega hits, but in the grand scheme of things, who really cares??!! There are lots of undesirables on the blogs that get hits too, but I don't think it means anything. I love your blog, you keep my coming back after each post, we are friends in the blogging world and that's a good thing. As for the money, who really knows what's going on there. The grass is NOT greener on the other side, it's just goat feed. Char

  3. Never heard of her either. Your blog is a hoot to read. One of my favorites. Money, over rated stuff. Too difficult to find. I think it is an endangered species.
    Come here and I'll hit ya! LOL

  4. You girls have made my day! I have friends who adore, nearly worship, the woman who writes Dooce -- but I don't get it either and I thought I was pretty much alone in that until your post and the comments above.

    I heard she had eight-kabillion readers.

  5. I KNOW, isn't that weird? I read about Dooce on June's blog too. Where have we been? Hey, when you finally get that kind of readership I will delight in the fact that I knew you when....! I LOVE your blog Lisa!

  6. Money isn't all it's cracked up to be. I'd rather have Peanuts. Besides I don't think a baby could make an adequate goat noise anyway.

  8. Raises hand...never heard of her! I, too, have strong opinions and cuss like a sailor. Now I'm jealous because it's not making me any money.
