I am participating in Mama Kat’s Writing Workshop this week.
The prompt I chose was the vlog prompt because I wanted everyone to see the big zit on my chin and also because this may put an end to the endless questions I get about my ridiculous blog name.
“Tell us the story behind the title of your blog. What is it? What inspired it? What other options did you consider? Are you happy with it?
No children – but maybe one cat – were harmed in the making of this video..
Great vlog! I love the story behind the name. I’m a fan of incorporating meaning and spelling things your own way. Hope the little one had fun playing in the closet.
I stuck my youngest in the crib while I taped my vlog for this prompt.

Oh, the crib – much better than the closet..wait, I better let her out…
OMG I loved this! You’re so funny Tracy! You should vlog more from now on.

Thank you – I would love to – I just need to find more activities for Astrid.
I love the name and it seems to fit you. I wanna see that baby again! Now I feel wierd because it always made sense to me – am I wierd? Don’t answer that please!
Hi MOM!!!
OMG I feel like such an idiot! I never made the connection between Sell a bit & celibate! :0p hahahahaha!!! I thought the Sell a bit just came from you selling MJ. ;0) rotfl!!! I always liked the title of your blog…now I LOVE IT!!! (& feel stupid. :0p haha! )
OK, you are fired from readership status.
I loved your vlog, great to “see” you and you are so funny. I’ve never had an issue with your name, btw.

You got it – Oh I love you even more.
Love this! #1: You’re so lovely! #2: The video You Tube recommended I watch next was “Super Massive Cabbage Hole!” I can’t help but think it’s related.
Leigh Ann recently posted..Preemies- painting- and pinot
LMBO – Yes, everyone must watch the Super Massive Cabbage Hole next!
AAArgh … ok, so now that I’ve seen the lovely you on here and I’ve seen the lovely you in the flesh … as gorgeous as you are on here …. can’t wait to see you again … IRL
By Word of Mouth recently posted..WW not what Id planned- but I love this -
People are going to think we have a thing. Okay we do kind of have a thing – but now it’s not our secret. sshh.
Well, you know I love it. HUGE fan of play on words. Meaning I like plays on words, not that I am physically huge. You get it.
Anyway, I want to know when you’re gonna do some stand up comedy. You are SO funny, girl! And if you ever change your blog name I vote for the one about everyone wearing diapers!! ;P
Elaine recently posted..Pink – You Capture
Yes, I also love your blog name. Oh I would LOVE to do stand-up. But nobody would come but my mom.
I would totally come WITH your Mom and laugh my butt off!
Elaine recently posted..Pink – You Capture
I am crying right now. Mike just said “who the hell is that crying?” Hilarious! I don’t see the zit on your chin…I was expecting something really fabulous….I’ll have to settle for the fabulous VLOG! Miss you…will call tomorrow…I just sat down…it’s 10:55 pm! XO
It’s right below my lip – wait I know that is hard to see as I’m at the age where my lips “feather” into my skin..
Dude, I’ve been wondering what the heck ever since I found your blog… thank you. Now my life is complete.
Anti-Supermom recently posted..the f word
So glad I could make your life complete. You are welcome also.
Excellent.
This is why I love vlogs and wish I liked the sound of my voice, you learn so much more about a person.
I feel differently about you now, in a good way.
Alexandra recently posted..What Does Your Blog Look Like To Others
Thank you kind lady. Also – just how did you feel about me before? Ax-murderer-ish, hot-young-20′s-mom, supermodel-potential-esque? I kid I kid..xoxox
My only question about your title was celibate and three kids? I have a few more than you, so I know how these things work . . . thanks for the explanation. And I’m glad to hear that my husband isn’t the only complainer in the world.
We have all these kids? Remember?
Great vlog. I’m not brave enough to do that. Or pretty enough. Or funny enough. Glad I have you.
Oh you are HOT – do it.(sex or vlog or both but NOT together). I know – I’ve even gotten pregnant and had a baby since I named my blog. It’s all a lie..;)
I would like to see proof that the little one was not locked in the closet.
Great job on the vlog. It would be annoying to constantly explain your blog title to people. You should pretend that you don’t know it is spelled wrong just to confuse them even more.
Oh crap – I knew I forgot to do something last night..
Oh my gosh, Tracy, you are even funnier in person (or well… in video)!! And I never once thought that your blog title means anything else than you selling lots of clothes. Gawd, I’m such a dork sometimes… ok, many times

Monika recently posted..Spring Mini Sessions in Vacaville- CA
I’ll blame it on the language barrier.
So does this mean that “mom loves wine more than you” is still up for grabs? Great job on the vlog!
Barbara recently posted..Steppin Out – Easter Style
It is and I think you and I should co-blog it!
Well, this is what is awesome about Mama Kats: discovering new blogs. Don’t know how I hadn’t yet discovered yours, but I’m glad I did. You are cracking me up!
Funny about your blog name – I immediately thought computer-realated sales: sell a Bit.
Queen Mahin recently posted..Spring- A Photo Essay
See, I never thought about it that way before. I can barely turn my computer on though – so it’s all a scam..lol. Thank you for the visit. xoxo
Love this!! Loved seeing you too. Next week, want to park it in the morning? Supposed to be nice!!
Yes, miss you. Name your day. xo
Tues or Wed?
This was great! Love the meaning behind your blog name!
Thank you so much!
You did awesome! I have a huge fear of vlogging. So afraid that will not be be nearly as funny as I feel in my head. You pulled it off smashingly.
Ilana recently posted..Baby Kills iPhone Mom Survives
Thank you! I am sure your vlogs will be spectacular!

I love to see you on your vlog. I am drinking coffee right now and it feels like you are sitting right across from me. You are still so pretty and funny. Thanks for making me smile today.
J
You made my day – perhaps coffee this July when I’m home?
tracy recently posted..So that is what eight looks like
Tracy – What a great vlog. I love seeing you instead of just reading the words.
. I have always thought the name of your blog is so so clever. And even if your baby is crying at least she is dressed well right? 
Finally, someone noticed the most important thing in the vlog.
tracy recently posted..So that is what eight looks like
I agree with your readers, vlog more! maybe you need your own stand up comedy vlog site, you and Jed could start working on a name for it…
maybaby recently posted..here is where I will be
If I could hide my child more, I would totally do my vlogging – with coffee or wine of course.
Definitely vlog more! You are so funny. And I don’t believe that you know what REAL cellulite is like.
jennie w. recently posted..The only funny French guy
Oh honey – don’t make me show you my butt…
I can’t watch it at work..damn firewalls..but I will make sure I do at home tonight!!!!
Kir recently posted..Mama Kats Writing Workshop- Tell Me Something Good
I demand you go to IT right now and have them release my movie from their firewall – or something technical like that.
I love your vlog! And your website, super cute! And that maybe one cat was harmed in the video haha ps you look so comfortable on the camera, great job!
Thank you. Yes, only one cat – slightly. Maybe.
I just want to reach out and hug you!
This isn’t just funny. It’s DAMN funny. You are a comedic genius! Girl, you need to do more vlogging!
liz recently posted..Mom Dating
Now I would love a hug. I could always use more hugs. Thank you for the kind words. I do love to vlog – but these kids keep getting in my way of very serious work. Crazy.
THAT is HILARIOUS!!
My favorite part of the entire thing is thinking about naming your blog “Mommy Loves Wine, Sometimes More Than You”. I’m now considering a blog re-name
I’m including this in my Saturday favorites – I laughed out loud!
Natalie recently posted..It’s NIAW And It’s Complicated…
Thank you for your super sweet words and including me on Saturday -WOOT! Perhaps we can co-blog at Mommy love wine more than you?
HAHAHAHA! Stopping by thanks to BelleBeanDog’s tweet. Your vlog is awesome! I’m not funny. Thank goodness I don’t try to be. I vlogged this week too. Now it sucks… gee, thanks.
A new follower
BalancingMama (Julie) recently posted..Video Blog!
Oh your vlog was awesome! And you have really great skin.
Okay I am so doing this one. And I’m not sure I believe you. The only way to get my kids out of the blog is to stuff them in a closet or stuff their mouths full of popsicles and other crap. That was awesome! Great job!
Brittany {Mommy Words} recently posted..Charmed- I’m Sure
Okay maybe I used the closet AND some Easter candy.
Classic. You know what’s funny? I too tried for nose hairs and cellulite.
Small World.
SurferWife recently posted..Yes Its true I was denied a hand job due to my tardiness
I’ve got to find out who took that name. It was so perfect.
I love this! I totally understood what your blog’s name meant without you explaining it to me…do I get a gold star or something? Anything? No?
I’m agreeing with everyone who says you should vlog more often. You really should!
Mrs. Jen B recently posted..I Probably Hate You
YOU WIN!!! NOTHING!!!! But thank you for being one of my smarter readers. You can stay.
You are so my kind of people. Seriously. And our husbands have a ton in common as well.
Mama Kat recently posted..Writer’s Workshop- Big Man On Campus
Oh my word – such a small world to have husbands with so much in common! Thank you for the fun prompt. I’ll be back. xoxo
My favorite part was the continual list of alternative names that were already taken! I am also going to echo the chorus of you are made to vlog (well, write as well)–you are a superstar!
C.Mom recently posted..I Have a Problem
Aw, thank you.
NOW that is funny shit!!! Loved it!
Rachel {at} Mommy Needs a Vacation recently posted..About Me…Take 2
I always feel slightly giddy when people swear on my blog. Thank you.
I honestly never thought of the any other version of your name but sell. Now I will never look at you the same way again. But keep vlogging, you are a natural.
Now for the important question: what is in your cup? I will not judge you denying your man or locking your kid in a closet but the beverage, deal breaker!
Really? Well I am glad my name did make sense.
Promise – straight, black coffee.
My husband came up with the name of my blog after I whined at him. What is it with husbands naming blogs?
Anyway, great vlog. I liked it and you. Must come back more often.
Those crazy husbands. Would love to see you back. Sometimes I am very serious though.
Hilarious! Love the name of your blog and how you and your husband came up with it (him not getting lucky.. love how you phrase that too!). Reminds of a boat that was named “LakaNuki” and a lady told the owners that she loved the name and asked if it was Hawaiin. Too funny!
Anne recently posted..Mamas Gotta Vlog!
Oh my word – that is HILARIOUS!
Popped over from your comment (i won’t say what the topic was!) What a fun vlog. I know your kid was in the closet. Pinky swear or not. You’re fun – I must read more!
I was just hoping someone would tell me that I spelled pinky wrong just like celibate. No assholes today though..so glad everyone got my irony.
ALSO – EVERYONE READING THIS COMMENT – GO CHECK OUT MommaKiss today – A MUST READ BLOG POST FOR ALL WOMEN!!!!!!!!!
um, just now coming back for the reply – oops! do you have reply notifications? i’m So slow. Like blond snow, not physically slow.
Anypoop – yes – please do check the blog about #2. It’s one of my finer pieces
MommaKiss recently posted..Whos gotta go 2
After trying to watch your vlog 4 times I had to put the kids in the closet to be able to hear it but totally worthwhile!! That was great.
I always got the “celibate” part but was wondering on why you spelled it “sellabit”. Now it makes sense
Stephanie recently posted..I just don’t get…
YAY for locking your kids away! See, you thought I didn’t know how to spell, but yet you still came back. Thank you!
ps, is that seriously your grandparents? on the right? What a shot!
MommaKiss recently posted..Whos gotta go 2
Yes, my grandparents – 18 years old. True Love til they died. You can totally tell. xoxo
Ok, your blog title origin is HILARIOUS!!!!!! Don’t go changing and giving it up too much to the hubs, because you need to stay faithful to your title.

See that is the brilliant part of it – as long as I’m Sellabit – I don’t have to have sex. It’s really a win/win.
LOVE this!!! Love, love, love it!
I’m all giggly.
Your husband and mine have a “bit” in common.
Nichole recently posted..No Winners
It is hard to feel sorry for those deprived men though.
Ohmygosh! You are so funny. I had to laugh at Astrid crying and I now believe you about the crying. But, she sure is cute. Your facial expressions and timing and pauses are hilarious. Yes, please please do us the favor of vlogging more often. Love you!! LOVED this video!
Rachelle recently posted..New Computer Blues
See, I must do more vlogs of Astrid crying. She does it every day – many times a day. I could vlog Astrid crying almost all day in fact. Finally proof!
Hence the reason you need wine. And coffee in the morn. Yep, get it. Aside from that, you’re still great.
Rachelle recently posted..New Computer Blues
Chickie, you know how to rock a vlog! You tell your story perfectly- I love it!
Ashley recently posted..Pouring my heart out today
Thank you so much for sweet friend. xo
BEYOND Well done! I super enjoyed your vlog! You make “The Aums” look kinda normal…funny, how we both mention Dooce, lol!
Christine@TheAums recently posted..How To Pronounce My Blog Name
For what it is worth – you did not look normal at all on your vlog…I KID! xo
I could probably write an essay about why I love this VLOG so so much. First I didn’t believe Astrid could ever pout (like you keep saying she does) so that was ADORABLE to see…she’s still at an age where crying is adorable. Second I love your sense of comedic timing. Third I love that you did a VLOG, the courage!
And fourth this makes me stupid excited to meet you IRL…so get to working on that BlogHer sponsorship, please? please?
Yuliya recently posted..Regrets I have a few
Oh I love you. Yes, Astrid pouts A LOT!!! I am a very sarcastic person and love comedy. With enough wine I could do stand-up. You should vlog – super fun.
I need to meet you. I need a sugar daddy.
xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
I have done stand up, once, it is SO MUCH FUN
Yuliya recently posted..Regrets I have a few
Oh you need to formally train me.
I love your vlog! You simply must do them more often! I was never confused about your blog name, and am really surprised that so many were confused. Maybe cause I know you sellabit, but still, it makes perfect sense to me. Funny, sort of that you’ve had so many try to correct your spelling. It reminds me of one of those optical illusions where you can see an old woman and a young woman. Uh, does that make sense? ha-ha! Hope to see more vlogs soon!
Heather recently posted..Bad Season
Oh thank you sweet friend. Yes, I now give dirty looks as I get tired of explaining it. I did think about changing it at one time.
Honey! You rocked this! ROCKED it! XO
Thank you my dear. It was fun. Thinking I may do it again soon. Without Astrid of course.
P.S. Sometimes I like wine better than you…. bahahaha!
Rachelle recently posted..New Computer Blues
This was hilarious.
And you made this look EASY (which I now know it is not)… I think you are a natural! What I want to know is how you got your words to flow so well? How many takes did you do? Was there something else besides coffee in that coffee cup??
Thank you. Only one try(well except the the 2 previous tries with baby) – not scripted..just chatting. It was super fun! Promise – it was noon so coffee only. See me after 5 and you may get something else.
