I know, I know, I can’t stop talking about my BlogHer house guests. I promise that this is the last post. When I told Lerner (aka: Stay at Home Babe) that I was going to do a Top Ten post about her, I’m not going to lie: The color drained from her face a bit. Then she informed me that she was going to do one about me, just to make things fair. Damn!
Her strategy worked, and I’m not writing anything too scandalous about her, but there are a few things about Stay at Home Babe that I thought her readers might want to know. If you want to see what Lerner has to say about me, head over to her blog today and check out her list of 10 things that you don’t know about me. I haven’t read it yet, so I’m basically trusting her with my dignity right now.
The Top Ten Things You Don’t Know About Stay at Home Babe
- She is a total baby-loving, snuggly, bag of mushy lovey goo. That’s right- she may act all badass, but you get a baby around that girl and she falls to pieces. Lerner cuddled my baby to death, and my baby doesn’t even cuddle me. And I’m her mom!
- She has a high pain tolerance. She basically got half her arm tattooed in a 24-hour period while she was here and she didn’t complain about it once. She even turned down the Percocet I offered her. Relax: They were left over from my c-section. I’m not a pill-popper, ok?
- She dresses like a hippie. That’s right- you think she’d be wearing black leather pants and big ‘ol boots, but she actually is quite fond of flowy dresses and skirts. Whooda thunk?
- She really does use Honey Girl Organics religiously. She’s the one who first turned me onto the skincare company, and she raves about them non-stop on her blog. Well, I can attest to the fact that she really is a die-hard fan of the stuff. She even turned down free skincare from another company at BlogHer because she’s, “a Honey Girl all the way.” PS: Her skin is perfection.
- She curses just as much, if not more, than she does on her blog. Maybe this isn’t really surprising, but I just thought you might want to hear it from me.
- She is exactly the same person she is on her blog. This kind of goes hand in hand with #5, but it goes beyond the cursing. The voice she writes with and the voice she uses in real life are exactly the same. For those of you who have ever been disappointed by bloggers in real life, I hope this restores your faith in the blogospere. At least a little bit.
- She’s a total nightowl/borderline insomniac. I kid you not: Lerner stayed awake for THREE days when she first got here. Maybe it was the excitement, or maybe she’s a closet amphetamine abuser. Whatever. The girl doesn’t sleep. Ok, she did manage to squeeze in 8 hours her last night here, which made me feel a lot more comfortable about the whole not sleeping thing.
- She is less anal and nit-picky than I expected. I know she has high standards for her home, and I was a little worried that she would judge the various unfinished projects I have going on around here. I had visions of her trying to organize my piles of crap. Turns out, she was the one who was always telling me to stop cleaning up and organizing. Phew!
- She’s very beautiful. Again, this probably doesn’t surprise you. Once I saw her in person I realized how truly crappy her previous “headshot” was. That thing did not do her justice! Don’t worry though, I forced her to sit in front of my camera and take new headshots, which are up on her blog now (thank god). They are much better, but they still don’t accurately capture her radiant beauty.
- She’s a loyal and die-hard friend. Lerner is the friend that every girl needs in her arsenal. Whether you need a sidekick for a wild night out, or someone to help you drown your sorrows when someone breaks your heart, it’s obvious that she knows how to support and uplift you when you need it most. And while that wasn’t necessarily shocking to discover, it sure was wonderful to bask in for the eight days she stayed in my house.
Ok, now I need to head over to Lerner’s place to see what she said about me, and you should too!
Did anything I revealed about Lerner today surprise you? What else do you want to know? I’m giving away all her secrets today!

You get Percocet when you have a c-section in the US?! I got a whole lot of nothing and a big fat "deal with you since you are breastfeeding." Not fun!
Btw, the posts you two posted today are freaking adorable. I even barfed in my mouth a little big, but in a good way.

I adored her…and she is SO beautiful! But I will always be remembered as that stupid-ass old chick who GRABBED her new tat as I was talking to her! I couldn't have felt worse. But she only flinched slightly, didn't kick me, and I removed the hand.
Now I can't wait to read about you, my dear…

Awww! You guys are in love! Riddle me this – how can I get her skin and your boobs?
XOXO – Mai

This is so sweet. I think the main thing that surprises me about Lerner is that you described her fashion as hippie-style. I totally had a different picture in my head. But now? I think it fits.

Funny, I've been thinking about your boobs and her smile all day.
It feels like someone sucked a vital organ out of my body, not being with you two.
Returning to reality sucks just a little.

Just checked Lerner's post…don't worry, no major bashing; won't be surprised if you see increased number of male readers of your blog though
