Nanoo Nanoo
13
I’m dating myself (because no one else will date me), but who remembers Mork and Mindy?
I mention this because I have signed up for NaBloPoMo (which I am calling Nanoo Nanoo because I keep forgetting the correct acronym). What is NaBloPoMo? It’s National Blog Posting Month. I signed up because I was a miserable failure at NaNoWriMo, which was National Novel Writing Month, which I signed up for last year and FAILed. So for National Blog Posting Month I have to post every day in November.
I have been planning to expand the blog to five days a week, because I think sucking is underrated and that my lame-ass blog should be up Mon-Fri for the simple reason that I can never remember what day of the week it is, why should I expect my readers to?! So if there’s something new every weekday, people won’t have to like say ‘is there something new at Pajamas and Coffee? What the hell day is it, anyway?!’ and get all frustrated and drink more vodka.
So what better way to kick off the blog expansion than by stressing myself out to see if I can put up a blog post for 30 days straight?! In a month where I’m going to be at Disneyworld for five days and there’s Halloween to clean up and Thanksgiving and Christmas to get ready for?*
So I’m going to try to post every day this month… mainly because I think NaBloPoMo is a cool acronym (growing up in King of Prussia we had a Howard Johnson Motor Lodge we called HoJoMoLo, and it reminds me of this), and because I will never finish an entire novel in a month for NaNoWriMo. Perhaps one day I will invite my own monthly contest like NoHoPoPo, where we spend the month Not Being Whores and attracting Police, or something. It would be fun to invent acronyms. Wait- I have an idea! I am declaring “Invent Your Own Acronym Day”! WOOT! Post your funny made-up contest acronym in the comments, and I will send a Pajamas and Coffee bumper sticker to the winner.
Which reminds me. Congrats to JESSI who commented in my Motherhood Film post about how her son woke her up flashing his light saber, which was actually her vibrator. Why does she win a Motherhood tshirt and poster? Because not only is it funny that her son was waving around her adult toy, but that she has a light-up vibrator. Dude. Jessi parties alone like a rock star, yes? (Does that thing play Bon Jovi, too, Jess?!)
Anyhoo. Wish me luck wth the whole posting-every-day-for-a-month challenge. Nothing like setting yourself up for failure!
*sorry. ended sentence in a preposition. Forgive me, Sister Nancy, for I have sinned. It’s been 17 blog posts since my last grammatical error…
Good luck – I’m doing it, too, and expect to last 3 days before I become desperate.
Oh thank you thank you thank you for the laugh this morning. I will endeavor to join you on this blogging adventure since I have been sucking so badly in the posting department.
I just found your blog through Twitter and will definitely be back.
Have a good one

I depressed myself noticing I’ve written 50k words in two months for http://www.PopBunker.net. And yet claim I cannot even finish 3-4 short stories.
That’s why I call myself an amateur blogger instead of anything to do with writing narrative anymore. So I can ignore Nanoo Nanoo in good faith.
Oh lord… I cannot stop laughing! Of all things to win, I win cus my son discoverd my awesome vibrator!! Good times!! =)
You have my undying admiration. I suck at goals.
–>Here is my proposed acronym that is good twice a week but I prefer on Thursday.
So Happy It’s Thursday (S.H.I.T.)

Dude. There is such a thing as a light up vibrator? And it’s large enough that it resembles a light saber? Is there no end to wonders of this earth?
Okay, back to Mork and Mindy. I had a Mork outfit in the 6th grade. Yes, I wore it to school. Yes, I thought it was cool. That was WAY before I had been introduced to the wonders of large, light up vibrators that play Bon Jovi. Can I get one of those that is also being weilded by Jon? ‘Cause, dude? That would rule.

I’ll have you know that I sported my rainbow suspenders with pride long before I realized that would be a “thing.” King of Prussia! I grew up nearby, is it possible that we both worked at The Limited together during the prairie skirt craze?
Good luck. I’m barely making one post a week.
I am going to need to contact the BonJovi-playing light saber vibrator people ASAP for a blog giveaway.
Gray Matter? Dude, I totally worked as a waitress at Friendlys at the King of Prussia Mall. I had to trade my prairie skirt for the blue and white checked polyester, but I bet I served you a Fribble at one point! LOL
first time commenter. yay me! i think you are hilarious. yay, you!
good for you for doing whatever that thing is called and distracting me from work on a regular basis (at least in november) i’m trying to do it too. i doubt i last a week.
not only do i remember mork & mindy, but i also remember a show co-star pam dawber (who is married to mark harmon) later starred in, called my sister sam, whose other star was murdered by her stalker.
i’d tell you my fave acronym, but i have to get back to filling my head with more useless TV trivia now!
Just want to thank you for alerting me to the MoPoMoFo… what? Sorry. NaBloPoMo. Cough cough. I am going to give it a try. But my laziness may win. It usually does…
Hee hee hee.. thanks for starting my day off with a laugh out loud!
Not only do I remember Mork and Mindy, even remember when it “jumped the shark” and had aging comic Jonathan Winters play their baby, who was born old and aged backwards, which actually sounds funnier when I type it than it was to watch, which may explain a whole lot!
Good luck with the 30 blogs in 30 days, I’ll be back to read them all!!!!
