Since I apparently work at the security equivalent to the Pentagon, I could not update the blog yesterday to let you know that your services are now needed. I am actively enrolled in the Apartment Therapy nursery contest and your duty as virtual friends is calling yet again. Below is my source list for every little thing in the nursery. So go ahead steal it. I’m cool with it. All I ask is that you vote for me to be captain of internet nursery design.
***here***
You have to register to vote but just do it. I would do it for you and your fetus. YOU KNOW I WOULD. The winning entry right now has 224 votes. We only have 24 hours left to vote and we MUST BEAT HER. It’s a good entry, I’ll admit it. When I saw it was like, man I want that room for my private headquarters. BUT losing is not an option. In fact I made a visual diagram to show you exactly what needs to happen.
What? Too much? Was it the fire lasers shot from my nursery’s hands that pushed it over the edge?

Oh yeah, some of you asked what’s with the owls and why did I choose that element for the nursery. Good question friend of friends. Back in the day I worked for Hooters and that job meant the world to me and changed my life in so many ways. So I decided that it was important for my son to know that through the art of interior design. See?
Important.
You’re welcome. Now vote! Voting on the nursery lasts for 48 hours from entry so you can count on some hoching until you poop your pants with votes.
Oh and don’t forget about this either. Thanks for being my sparkle bitch 4 life.

Hi I’m MODG. But you can call me MODG. You say it like Modg, like a Grandma name. Not like M.O.D.G. That’s a lot of syllables and I don’t have that kind of time.

did you know that you are in the lead for the pregnancy blog thing? i can’t imagine a more awesome pregs blog than this one.
those others are probably super boring and do not include awesome drawings.
i voted of course for you…
Just voted. Consider yourself lucky- all that registering and confirming was a pain. But honestly I really do like your room. Great job!
Your nursery will be on top!!! Pink is going down, but it is a lovely room but the owl obsessor in me loves yours most (I probably would even if it didn’t have owls because it’s freaking amazeballs!)
Note: I love that you didn’t just choose owls because they are trendy but because you have a history with them. And now I’m totally craving Hooters wings and we don’t have one here – I have to drive an hour to get to one [damn bible belt of America].
fyi- i was vote number 225 for you & the other one is still at 224. remember when i used to worry you would take out a restraining order on me & we would talk about eating disorders, ghosts & aliens? le sigh to the good old days.
Voted! (And voted again on the preggers blog – yay for MODG being #1!!) Is there any way to vote again for the nursery? Or to see who is close to you in votes?
I may or may not have just registered with my old college emails and voted 3 more times…..
Girl, please, you’ll win. I voted for you.
I always wanted to work at Hooters… except I have no boobs. That was a problem.
And I voted! Can I vote more than once?? Hmmm…
You’re up to 265!!! WOO-HOO!! AND you’re number UNO on the mom blogs too. You’re basically winning at life and taking over the internet at the same time!
I voted and LOVE Plankton’s nursery!! You did an amazing job
Stop by my blog and enter my giveaway for holiday cards! I know you love winning stuff… hurry, go now!
Done and done. MODG for the win!
umm so i expect pies… and a vat of sparkles…
because that was a pain in my rump and i made several friends do it also for principle…
ps: the pies is totally able to happen i still live in pa approx. 40 min from philly to january..
.. k thanks
ok so i never participate or vote on crap – i’m just the big creep that reads everyones blogs and pretends to be friends with them….but your room is pretty cool and i’m totally going to steal it when i have a kid….also just as a coincidence i came across this etsy site and she has some super cute hand sewn owl shit….check it out….http://www.etsy.com/shop/sasaoriginals?ref=seller_info
I would’ve been a shoo-in to work at Hooters with this rack….but we don’t have 1 close. Sads.
I personally would like to know, how exactly did Hooters change your life? I waitressed for 7 years, and I don’t know that I’d consider it “life-changing” but it IS a really great way to learn “people skills”, and how to act in a public restaurant…or at least how NOT to act….just curious. Also, is “Waiting” one of your fav movies???? I fuckin love it. I was sooooo the angry bitch in my serving days!!! lmao
I just voted and you were at 288!! Good Luck!!!
I am going to go vote in a hot minute, but first can we PLEASE address the ferocity of the last picture!? This may necessitate MS Paint to include sparkles exploding from your hands…
Oh, wow! You were a hooters girl….now it all.makes.sense. Sorry I didn’t vote, but I am sure you will win. I mean, heck!?! You.were.a.HOOTERS.girl!!!!!
DONE!!!!
norma
p.s. i always wanted to be a hooters girl….but the parental units were not feeling it…dont become that type of mom, deal? deal.
so somehow I feel we must know each other… In that hoots pic I see erin, kristen (who rec’d your blog to me) meg, and jilly bean. Which means debbie and mike were managers when you worked there. And you worked with jodi who ended up being a manager. You would think I was stalking you but I repped those orange shorts during my time at psu as well. Weirddddd I think you possibly were gone when I started?
*all names are not for you crazy internet creepers to use.
Your nursery wars picture is probably your best to date.
Love that you were a Hooters chick, you are just full of depth and I never know what to expect!
Girl who suggested sparkles coming from your hands in the last picture, bang on…do it please.
I voted for you but couldn’t bring myself to ask others and risk having to share you with them…selfish – maybe, brilliant – yes!
The end.
You worked at Hooters?!?!?!?! BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAAA
It explains a lot doesn’t it? SUPER AWESOME MODG. I voted on every computer in my office for the pregnancy blog + voted with a bunch of old email addresses for the nursery. YAYAYAY I HOPE YOU WIN.
I just found you and thank the lord jesus christ of latter day saints cause I’m pretty sure we are destined to be bffs.
you are one funny bitch.
nursery rocks my face.
so i def. comented earlier BUT however large massive BUT… I have amazing finatastic news… im just now reading through old posts I just got to your sparkly bra post so I sincerely apologize if you have already discovered this and potato gunned it into the blog world ….. Victoria’s secret has a swarovski crystal limited edition sparkle bra…just in time for plankton’s vag to world mission… thought i’d let you know
I just registered for MORE email, but I absolutely hope you win, and name your baby boy Hugo! Good luck!
will plankton be modeling the “hooter girls think i’m hot” onesy at any time? because a picture will be needed. maybe charlie could try it on first to make sure it fits.
I think that’s an awesome reason to decorate with owls.
I was at BabyGap today and they have a ton of insanely cute owl stuff. I couldn’t resist this owl sweater onesie thing: http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?searchCID=25781&vid=1&pid=785786
Tx for the listing!
I was totally going to steal your color scheme for my barroom and then live and bathe in secret… Forever. Now I don’t have to!
Well done!
Hilarious! Hooters?? HOOTERS??? Nice.
I think you need this..

Can I be a pain in the ass and bring up a thread from over a year ago, and BEG you to tell me where the changing pad cover is from? It rules.
I just noticed your (I mean Gavin’s) nursery is on the etsy website too.
Amanda- I looooove your nursery! You have such a great eye. Forgive me if you already answered this somewhere, but where did you get that tray thingy that is holding the changing pad? I put my son’s changing pad right on his dresser, but now that he is starting to roll we need something like that to secure it better. Thanks!
so i was wasting some quality time on pinterest today and i came across a picture that looked very familiar. G’s nursery. i totally commented and noted that your magical blog is the source. people need to get their shit straight.
http://pinterest.com/pin/59345683/
just fyi. i figured you should know you’re even more famous now.
etsy started doing this cool thing that shows you stats of how many people are visiting your shop and where they’re coming from and i randomly get traffic from both your website and your feature on ohdeedoh, so thank you! ha! your little one’s nursery is super adorable!
I am new to this “blogging” thing…you know, the old dog & new tricks thing. However, my computer-savvy pregnant daughter introduced me to Pinterest, which then forced me to open a Facebook account, and well, here I am. Yours is the first blog I’ve ever read, and now I’m hooked.
My daughter and I are decorating her nursery together and we love yours so much, we plan to borrow a few of your ideas. She had already chosen gray for the walls, so when we saw yours, we couldn’t have been more excited. I cannot imagine a more well-done blog or a more beautiful nursery (I bet the rest of your house is more of the same).
Oh, and by the way, we plan to include at least one thing aqua in the room in your honor!
WOW…what a pleasure. Thanks!
PS. Sorry we didn’t discover your site before the contest… hope you won…you certainly deserved to.
Janet
now I feel really bad for the post I just added on the original nursery blog! lol thanks girl!
