Wow.
Just wow.
Not only am I quoted in today’s New York Times, but uber-uber-parenting-bloggy-dude Dutch has linked to me in his piece today about his thoughts on prenatal testing for Down syndrome.
I’m not sure what it says about me that I’m all blase about being in the FREAKING NEW YORK TIMES but when I saw that Dutch-from-Sweet-Juniper had linked to me I got palpitations.
Back to the NYT (keep reading, by the way; I’m at the end of that piece). I wouldn’t have known about it at all except for the advent of social networking. I’ve had a Facebook account for awhile and steadily keep adding contacts, a few here and there. Look me up! I’ll be your friend! And one sent me a message today commenting on my quote in the NYT, and I’m all, huh?? Thinking it must be a mistake, but no, there I am. Talking about plastic surgery with some vehemence (here’s my orginal piece at Babble).
I think I love the internet.

Bravo, Karen!
Btw – I’ve been planning on creating a Facebook profile for months now, and my friends tell me to get one almost daily (they really do!), but I just never seem to get around it. Maybe one day. I’m sure it’s a lot of fun.

Awesome! Why wasn’t this sent around today? Are you being modest?

Hey there! Nice to meet you. Love what you say in your about-post about those voices in your head. Nice job making a living with that. I may just call for a consult myself.
I definitely googled you from the NYT article. They didn’t make it super easy to find you but easy enough.
Anyway, I thought I’d just leave a note and say hello.
Hello.

Yes, you’d think, in this day and age, the NYT would have provided a link or something. Oh well.

Hey! Congratulations! I don’t know which one is more exciting; I think they’re both terrific. I love Sweet Juniper! so that one feels close to home; I love what you say about body image in the NYT, so that one makes me happy and proud too! Hooray for you!!!
