Congratulations! I see Summa Mama Smockmomma made "Spanning the Globe!" I see that she also got reassigned to the Sleepy Mommies! Yay Smock!
Just kidding, of course. Smock is still a Summa. We love the Summas, but we have so much in common (Catholics, mommies, granolacons, The Fine Domain, even some para-blog projects) that perhaps it might be time to note some of the subtle differences in plumage.
So in the spirit of the late Roger Tory Peterson, please allow me to present A Field Guide to the Mommies and the Mamas.
| Summas | Sleepies |
|---|---|
| Mamas | Mommies |
| Terry, Smockmomma, and SpecialK | Pansy and Peony |
| Three bloggers | Two bloggers |
| SpecialK has a new baby | Pansy has a baby on the way |
| Texans | Well-traveled more-or-less Northerners |
| Gravy goes over biscuits | Gravy goes over turkey (Peony) or spaghetti (Pansy) |
| Smashing retro-themed template | Template changes according to the liturgical seasons and Peony's whims |
| Tech stuff: Terry | Tech stuff: Peony |
| The fun one: Smockmomma | The fun one: probably Pansy |
| The organic one: Special K | The organic one: Pansy is better about it |
| The old one: Terry | The old one: Peony, by a (gray) hair |
| Smockmomma minds the store | Peony stocks the store |
| Blog names are more or less based on real life | Blog names are hobbit names |
| Funny blog names are unmistakeable | Cute but confusing blog names differ by only three letters |
| Closest St Blog's neighbors IRL: probably Laura-lady and Flambeaux | Probably Jeanetta (Pansy) and Tom(Peony) |
| Are neighbors in real life | Have never met in real life |
LOL! Very cute!
I'm moving back to PA on May 16th, so John in Syracuse will probably be Pansy's closest real life neighbor then (until/unless I move back to Rochester, which is an ever increasing possibility).
You got me good, ol' Peony of Summa Mama's! :)
YEEEE HAW! Ah'm a SUMMA!
TSO-- actually, I've been wanting to do this for a while and was thinking this might be the right week to do it. You were very kind to provide the perfect set-up.
+JMJ+
You really have never met in real life???
Today is Pansy's second youngest, Fastolf's birthday. He's...oh wow, I think he's 5 today! Wish him a happy B-day next time you see her online!
Loved the post, Peony!
