If you’ve been around these here parts long enough, you know I make it a point not to write about politics. It’s just too divisive. People will say the nastiest thing under the cloak of anonymity anyway, and when it comes to parties and their lines, they can be exceptionally ruthless. So, except for saying I was happy for Sir Hal when his candidate won the presidential election, I have not commented on This Major Thing Which Is About to Happen. And I still will not comment except to say, holy crap, today is a really, really good day and it feels a little bit like an entire lifetime of Christmas mornings all rolled into one infectiously giddy celebration. That pony in the backyard? It’s yours! Now, go take care of it.
Another point of glee: my nephew is coming to visit on Monday. Also, my sister and her husband. But you know, mostly my nephew and his thighs. Omm nomm nomm. If you would like to get visually lost in some baby rolls, I refer you to the photo below. Keep scrolling. Yes, there it is. God, so much cuteness.
Speaking of my delicious nephew and politics… What? You don’t see the connection? Yeah, neither did I. But to the commenter who lambasted me for my American Ignorance (apparently not writing about politics and world events is a sure sign I am unaware they even exist) by telling me that my nephew may be sweet and beautiful but do I KNOW how many BABIES are dying in GAZA I say, take it somewhere else. And shame on you. Yes, the world is a difficult, dangerous, brutal place. This blog, however, is pink and silly and about babies and making out and what happens when you forget you’re wearing underwear and pee all over yourself at work. And it might, if you let it, give you a break from some of the harsher realities – even if just for a minute or two. What I’m saying is, the content is purposely light and conspiculously lacking in dead babies and I intend to keep it that way. Capiche?
Now, go take care of your pony.
We only get one life and it’s OK to make the best of it. Party on, darlin’. Party on.
Baby roll goodness. Ah. It’s the wrinkles in the middle of the thighs that get me! O and baby thumbs. This I can’t explain. : )
Happy Day Fish. Happy happy day.
Spreading glee is always the best available option, good for you. And regarding nephews, I used to think that your siblings’ kids were about as dear to you as your own…and now that I have my own, I realize I was right!
Right on, girlie pie!
I think someone has baby fever ;0
hhmmmmm…..
Love it! Could not agree more…and thank you for my pony;)
I love you.
Thanks for the pony.
Seriously, people need to realize that blogs do not attempt to comment on EVERYTHING. Politics are for talking heads not for This Fish.
You just hit it on the nail. I love the new pony!
huzzah, fish! and huzzah for our new pony
I love that you are all about the pink and the silly and the baby rolls, Fish, and appreciate your outlook and sense of humor. You are always some much fun to read. Keep it up!
Sir Hal and I have the same political views. Interesting!
Happy inauguration day to you.
Right on! You always make me laugh so keep doing what you do.
Yes ma’am. Well said. Thanks for doing exactly what you do, in all its silly, pink, make-out-laden glory. The world needs a little o’ this every now and again.
Amen, sister!
Amen to That Wonderful Event Which We Will Not Name!
Amen to baby thighs!
Amen to pink blogs!
I totally agree with YOU. I’m glad for your blogs, 90210 reruns and my comfy pink hoodie to snuggle up with when I’ve had enough of the cable coverage of today.
I don’t usually talk about politics (or religion for that matter) with my friends – I’m very private when it comes to my thoughts and views. Sometimes I get a lot of grief for it but I am what I am.
THANKS FOR THE PINK!
There is enough reality in reality. Rawk on with your pink frilly self!
EVERYONE knows that you can concentrate better on the “big” issues when you take breaks for cute babies! Anyone who doesn’t realize that needs to lighten up a bit!
I agree – do what you do best
hahaha you totally crack me up fish! thanks for the pony!
Agreed! I don’t read political blogs, at least not often. I watch various news programs instead. I read blogs for fun. And I enjoy lots of different writing styles. But mostly read them to see into other peoples lives (in a good way!) I find everyone so interesting whether they are older, younger, active, not so active.
AMEN.
I come here for the pinkness not the darkness.
Please … that person can take all the ponies they want. It is your blog, your words, your content decision. And personally, I am grateful you do not focus on the ugliness of this world. Dork Lords, baby thighs, and funny stories are infinitely better.
You rock.
thank you for this blog. it brightens my days in many ways.
Just echoing the comments above! I get my fill of politics living in the DC area. Your blog is what I turn to when I need to escape all that. Keep the pinkness coming!
Ooohhh puh-leeeeze is reading the news not enough badness for one day that we must seek out more in blog form (and then get pissed at bloggers who choose not to acknowlege?!)? eeeeeckkk
Hurray for pinkness and making out and baby munching!
You Go, Girl!!
I’m with Allison too! PINKNESS!! MAKING OUT!! BABY MUNCHING!!
Yes.
Yes, life is good.
So this comment has nothing really to do with your post..
but I was curious.
Why don’t you have one of those Fan pages on Facebook?
What kind of a moron thinks (and has the brass ones to tell you) that you shouldn’t be able to take joy in your beatiful nephew because elsewhere someone’s baby is suffering?? Yes, that’s sad. Yes, that’s terrible but are we not supposed to ever enjoy the good in life because somewhere else there’s bad? Seriously, if that’s their attitude they’re probably better off just ending it now to avoid feeling altogether.
I love the internet but sometimes I really hate it as it’s given way too many idiots the opportunity to broadcast stupidity.
I love your pink blog – it is my mental break when I have had too much to think about all day. Thank you for that! As for the reader asking about facebook fans – all it takes is someone to create the site (not the right word, but you get what I mean). Once that happens you can have legions of facebook fans.
Hi Heather,
You may have already answered this but did Jillian Michaels 30 day Shred give you results and did you enjoy it?
Thanks!
I don’t write about the Large Hadron Collider, so therefore I must not know it exists. Hm. Your Gaza-baby commentator is apparently very quantum, and I congratulate him/her for that, if not for his/her sense of humor and kindness. Keep up the pink posts.

we who come here to visit are in need of pink, baby munching and making out… the bad stuff is there when we are ready… it is not owed by us to have it here or by you to provide it… this is our pink baby munching making out zone…
lol very capiche. sorry about that, erratic hormones and dead babies on TV just get me really whiny.
Starving babies, eh? Well send them my way! I’m quite sure I’ve got the cure.
Good post
It may seem harsh but (in order);
Yourself
Your family
Your friends
Your community
…
Only by creating a good foundation for yourself and those around you, can you truly help others in need.
Thank goodness. I come here to laugh with you and understand that “I’m not the only one out there.”
So keep on your light fluffy pink swirly topics!
There’s enough bad in the world that some humor and warm and fuzzies is much needed. I thank you for keeping it light!
Post very well said.
Hear! Hear! I LOVE reading your blog for what it is. It takes me away from the B.S. and reminds me to laugh. Your honesty is great, and refreshing. Screw the naysayers!
