Hi! {word}
In anticipation of The Main Event: Blogher09, I am posting a little, “Getting to Know You, Getting to Know Allllll About You” post because, pretty much, I don’t know you {and vice versa} if you are coming here. I’m willing to scoot out on this limb because I know *very* few mom-bloggers. Some of you have put up with me on twitter. Some of you have blocked me. One of you has overcome any fear you may have had to meet me at an equidistant point between our homes. But then, that one is extraordinary.
This post is generic enough to cover the introductions but also the good times ahead, because I’ve gotta work this week y’all. Then I am driving swag to the party for the room704. So, yeah, I don’t have time to post. This is an anticipatory post, and in no way should be used against me for my naivete.
I’m the Mommentator. Nice to know you. {My grandma used to say that, and while I agree it’s assuming that meeting is knowing, I still like it.}
Here is a quick, bullet point list for you to peruse in case you are sitting in the same room as I am at the *actual* conference, with but 30 seconds to evaluate me. Maybe you heard someone call my name. Maybe I just rambled up in front of you, smelling of last night’s gin, and shoved my hand straight out to force my calling card upon you. Whatever. I’m just the kind of girl that wants to make things simple for you.
Mommentator for Dummies, or if that offends, Mommentator At-A-Glance:
- I live in the Midwest. Close enough to drive to Blogher09. OK, Missouri, geez.
- I am a Mom.
- I have three kids. 8,6,3 and they are all full of drama.
- My husband is an attorney is a small town. I work for him. That’s all I have to say about that.
- I have very little advice for fellow mothers. I find that just as I believe I have it figured out, I find myself once again befuddled.
- I don’t have a philosophy on parenting; I merely love and let loose.
- I think saving money is a great concept so I can buy Joe’s Jeans.
- I cook. It’s my only artistic talent. Everyone has one, I hope you’ve found yours.
- I love Costco.
- I like cats and dogs, but not *my* dog.
- Beautiful stationary is a friend.
- If I could recommend some luxuries; Anthropolgie clothing, Cambria Cove and intense shoe shopping.
- I do not enjoy Coach products with insignia blasted upon me. You should be a billboard of style but not an electric light blinking display of Vegas-style advertising.
- And here is the bomb: I’m a republican. I know… maybe some of you are too. Maybe you loathe them. I have a political site, which is something I’d like you to take the time to evaluate. http://www.politicalmommentary.com. It exists to provoke debate, thought, Mom-empowerment through knowledge. I know you have a lot to do every day. But your politics are important too. Get a tidbit and mull it over. My hope is to provide differing opinions, so if you have one, please comment. And be looking for some democrats and independents who are willingly coming on board to show that divisions between are not cause for loathing.
- Here on this site, you can expect the random. I am currently exploring a dusty old book I found at the Library book sale, written to perpetuate some 1950s women stereotypes. I attach my own modern spin to it, and off we go. If you’d like to read me, start by reviewing this. I look forward to getting back to it after I explore this thing that is Blogher.
Hey, I’m looking forward to connecting with you. Add me on twitter. Become a fan, or an interested bystander on my facebook page. Also, check out my even MORE random, “other” spew-spot: www.wickedgood.wordpress.com. {My girlfriends and I have problems. Welcome}
I do not know what a meme is. I don’t even know what Wordless Wednesday is supposed to be about. I imagine we just talk too much and don’t take enough in. I’m all about that. So, here is my NEARLY Wordless Wednesday post: Each and every one of these flowers in my gorgeous centerpiece have been grown by: m.e.
Better than a Delivery
