Yesterday, my friend Suebob notified me that a meme was spreading throughout bloggerdom, called “Grace in 5 things.” She told me to google it. The idea is that everybody post a daily list of five things they are grateful for. For a year.
Let me just say, I am plenty grateful for not being a midget and many many other blessings. But five things a day is just too much. Plus, I really don’t want to know what five things anyone is grateful for, every single day.
But people like to jump aboard whatever bandwagon comes their way, I guess. So therefore I am proposing something much easier and more fun: the Blogger Pajama Party.
In a tribute to Mrs. Palin, we should all set aside one day to blog in our pj’s, and to post photos. Above, you can see my nice warm pj’s that I acquired from my friend Jane. Thank you, Jane! They were a present for my son, in the wrong size. On the day of the Party, I’ll wear my Other pair of Pj’s, with little tattoo thingies on them.
Okay, so, are we on for the Blogger Pajama Party? How about Feb. 13, because it falls on a Friday, so it’s bound to be lucky.
I am looking forward to seeing David Duff in his Long Johns. Maybe Juri will wear a negligee if he doesn’t have pj’s.
Remember: Any blogger worth a damn is wearing pajamas, if not actually living in his or her parents’ basement!
Let me know if you’re in, and pass it on.
“All in”, says the girl who loves her pajamas and hates that Sarah Palin
Well I don’t actually wear or own pajamas, and since it is approximately 9 million percent humidity here right now I am clad in nothing but a damp towel. Does that count? I could blog entirely without clothes, is that still in the spirit of the occasion?
PS. 5 things a day is way too many, and I can imagine how quickly it degenerates from “I am grateful for my health, happiness, friends and loved ones” to “I am grateful for peanut butter” to “I am grateful that I managed to do a poo this morning” and so on on a downward survival spiral of lameness.
I’m in but I don’t own pajamas. I do have a couple of pairs of Long Johns somewhere, though, and my mum might let me borrow one of her negligees if I ask nicely. I’ll check that with her the next time she comes down to the basement with my food. That should be any day now.
I don’t have a blog but I have lots of pajamas. Can I join?
I hate Sarah Palin! I love pajamas! AND I live in that freezing-cold-midwest-flannel-wearing place! Count me in! AND I will bring the cherry flavored vodka!
You may regret this foolish incitement for me to post a ‘piccie’ of me in my long Johns. All your ladies will depart in a rush from your blog to mine. Will they ever return? I doubt it. Once seen, never forgotten, despite all that the best psychiatrists can do. The condition is known as PTDS, Post Traumatic Duff Syndrome – totally incurable – you have been warned!
‘SoD’ (Son of Duff) is visiting the weekend after next and I am assuming he knows how to do all this computer-photography lark. Such fun!
Do you really want to see David in his long johns? I don’t think so!!!
Oh for goodness sake! Who let her in here? Can’t a man find anywhere for a bit of peace and quiet? Er, well, of course, this site is never exactly peaceful and it certainly isn’t quiet, but you know what I mean. ‘SoD’ has a lot to answer for, buying her that lap-top thingie.
I’m with AnneMarie. I want in even though I don’t have a blog! (You see, the way I look at it is that you have a blog, so I don’t have to.)
But I digress. I have numerous pajamas, my favorite being a kickass pair of pink footie pajamas with a velcro drop-seat in the back and everything.
Ash – I’ll bring the Sprite and Sprite Zero to accompany your cherry vodka.
Well . . . I’m not a blogger; however, I will participate if I can send you the pix to post. I don’t have PJs, a nightie, or long johns, but I do have wires and wires and sensors and receivers and odd techie stuff attached to me that may suffice as cover up. Or is that too horrible a thought for someone who was in traction not too long ago? Actually, I’m getting attached to my wires . . . I may actually miss them when I become unplugged. It’s like a kind of Stockholm syndrome for Radio Frequency emitting from one’s own body.
And as for the five things we’re grateful for I’m sure it will be a book by the end of the year, so I can just use someone’s list as my own and I’ll just be grateful for saving my time on another list.
I’m totally in!
You know I don’t wear pjs, Sister 🙂 I’m going to try to do this, but can’t promise as I feel so crap right now, it’s all I can do to type. Mind you, I have a couple of weeks at which point I might be feeling more sassy and creative. Gotta go buy pajamas…
I’ll wear the pajamas my manic mother bought me one January then forced herself to wait to the following Christmas to give me. I’ve washed the cigarette stench out. They have a hole in the crotch—which you know I will never mend.
You had me at “in a tribute to Mrs. Palin…”
I’d like to say I don’t wear them but Mr MDS cured me of my nakedness with his steadfast boxers in bed. First it was knickers then it was knickers and tops, now it is bra aka carrie, cami top and warm pj bottoms as it is so cold. Fri 13 th it is as I’m a show off so I’ll happily pose and post – I might add rollers and if I smoked I’d have a cigarette hanging out of my mouth.
Damn I should have lied and said I looked forward to wearing my babydoll and marabou slippers, geez I need to get sly!
Aja – Yay!
Skye -a damp towel is okay. How about the husband’s boxers?
Juri – Trip her when she comes down the stairs, and then get her nightie. Or find the long johns!
annemarie – Just send me a photo and I will post it for the party!
Ash -GREAT, but I warn you that I’m a famously cheap drunk.
David – I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain…..I think I’m up to it!
Patsy – We women are tough enough for childbirth, right? I will stay strong through the long johns photo. YES WE CAN!
Ann – Send me a photo to post! I hope you choose the pink footies!
Deni – You are either nuts, or in the hospital, right? I will call you. xo
Anna M -YAY!
K-Line -Oh, I’m sorry you’re feeling crappy. You will be all better by then, and twice as sassy!
Kelly -Hahahahhaha, jesus.
Make D0 – The rollers would be fab, I can’t wait!
oh yeah! Because I am so superstitious I won’t go out on the 13th. I don’t wear jammies either. Will I buy some or pose in the vintage slips I do wear to beddie bies?
xx
I’d love to participate if that’s cool. I’ll be wearing my sexy long nightie, big furry slippers (because my fee get cold), and there will be a cigarette hanging out of my mouth. I’ll bring the margaritas.
As it so happens I’m going to be Stateside that very night…. NYC time…. can I join, can I join?
Dude, I blog in pajamas EVERY DAY…or almost every day. And they’re Hello Kitty.
Hammie -If you sleep in your slip, that’s your pj’s. Do you at least wear fluffy slippers?
HelOnWheels -Shit yes! Just send me a photo, sisterwolf666@gmail.com Thank god you’re bringing margaritas! My favorite (and only) drink!
Susie-B – Hell yes, you are joining! Pack your favorite pj’s!
Bex – My Hello Kitty pjs shrunk too much after one wash. They were $9.99. Yours are obviously a higher quality.
Sure, I’m in.
And you act like blogging in my pjs is a special thing. Call me special. Having a drink at the keyboard? Where in hell do you get these freakish ideas? {{Hiccup}}
xo
I’m in, although none of my pj’s match. And when I first glanced at your photo, I though, ooo, colorful caftan!
Susan – Ha! I’ll be expecting you!
fashion herald – A CAFTAN!?!?! Those are fightin’ words!
Me too me too me too! 🙂
Wow, I sound like I’m 5.
I recently wandered in here, love reading, and happy to have found my way here!
Living in SW FL, I have no basement, but love to spend as much time as possible in my jammies. Can I come to the pj party too?
My jammies: right now, an old pair of sweats—yes, it DOES get cold in FL sometimes. Only 43 right now….expected to drop to mid 30s overnite–BRRRR!
Esther – YAy! I’m 5 too!
trish – Sweats count as jammies. See you on Feb 13!
I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don’t know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
