Mom's Daily Dose of Coug

Okay, so obviously I'm out of clever titles for these awards posts, but today's is an all-time low. It sounds like a slang word for a very itchy STD or something.

But I am not talking about a very itchy STD! I am talking about the...(wait for it)...

 

Yes. THIS THING AGAIN.

(Blah blah nominations here past winners here here here and here blah blah blah)

In case you're wondering exactly how I pick the winners from that big list of nominations, I will tell you: through a very scientific process involving...um...small pieces of paper in a Ziploc baggie. A very scientific Ziploc baggie.

Yes, ages and ages ago, back when Noah was still sleeping through the night and peace and love ruled the land, I wrote all the nominations down on a couple sheets of paper and then cut them up and put them in a sandwich bag, which I then labeled AMY'S BLOG AWARD THING DO NOT THROW OUT I REALLY MEAN IT.

Exhibit A: the Big Bag of Blogs

So the initial selection is completely random, although from that point it does get admittedly a little more subjective, as I have pulled out some blogs that...well. I just assume they're having an off week and put them back in the bag, hoping that next time I check them out they'll be back in top form. Other blogs that have been put back into the Big Bag of Blogs were blogs that hadn't been updated in a decent chunk of time or sites having some sort of formatting/server/other assorted technical meltdown.

But 9 times out of 10, I listen to the Big Bag of Blogs. Especially since most of you have absolutely exquisite taste in blogs.

Today's blog was actually one I have seen before -- when my not-so-secret blog crush Moreena linked to this entry ("Gah! Livers! Don't die, yellow patient!") and called the blogger the "Mimi Smartypants of the medical world."

Indeed. Behold, the many earthly delights of The Underwear Drawer! Congratulations to Michelle! People around here think you are awfully darn awesome.

If you haven't scurried on over to her blog already, let me do more cut-and-pasting in order to earn my keep. Michelle is "an Anesthesiology resident in New York City trying to get used to the idea of calling herself "Doctor" without using those finger air quotes." She also has a very helpful FAQ page to get you all caught up on her life, which I'm sorry, is way more interesting than yours. Or mine. But there you have it.

And she's mom to one-year-old Cal, thus making it not illegal for me to mention her here. Whew. (Oh, I am kidding. But...you know. Jobby McPaycheck.)

Oh yeah, and she's absolutely flip-flapping, ding-danging hilarious. (Yes, I am officially at the bottom of the substitute-swear-word barrel.) Go read her now! The Coug commands thee!

Methinks the Big Bag O' Blogs might be messing with us. Her site seems to be experiencing some sort of "formatting/server/other assorted technical meltdown in the form of an HTTP 500 server error.

Hmm. Seems to be working fine for me? Maybe it was a temporary hiccup?

[Anna]

It's working for me now, too. For a while there I couldn't get any blogspot pages to load--they were all erroring out. Huh. Maybe it's the power of the mullet.

Love this blog! You're right her life is much more interesting than mine... so I will live vicariously

[linda]

Thanks for introducing me to Michelle's blog. I'm loving it!

[Megan]

I'm so glad that you've linked to her blog...it's been one of my favorites for ages (I'm a new resident with a new baby, and I've been re-reading all of her baby discussions for moral support.)

You got me stuck on... and SINGING this "hurts so good song" around my house last night. I hate that song.
