Ahh — how I’ve grown in the world of blogging. Remember how I was back in the day — when I couldn’t figure out how to work Twitter and was nearly in tears over my incompetence? That’s soooo not the case these days!
Now, I’m a Twitter FIEND (in my own mind, anyway). I love it, especially since I added TwitterFox, which allows me to receive tweets instantly — WITHOUT having to access my Twitter page. It rules. ‘Nuff said.
Renee, of Cutie Booty Cakes, TAGGED me! Me! Apparently, Renee is secretly obsessed with me (and the six other people she tagged), because she requested that I share information that NO ONE could know from my blog. Well, Renee, because you’re so sweet AND because you have a GORGEOUS new layout, I will fulfill your request.
1) I am sad, sad, SAD looking woman through out MOST of the day. Since I no longer work outside the home, I don’t put on make up or tame my curls on a daily basis. It’s so bad, that when I do fix myself up, Hubby is always inappropriately surprised — as if he’d forgotten that I could look any way but “Pathetic.”
2) Speaking of what goes on during my days, I am one of “THOSE” people. I talk to myself. I don’t mean I just think out loud. Oh, no — I hold conversations with myself AND act out whatever scenario I am imagining. When I cook, 8 times out of 10, I pretend that I’m hosting my own cooking show. (please don’t commit me!)
3) Speaking of cooking, I started a second blog. The Busy Mommy Cooks is going to be my little way of sharing recipes, menu ideas, etc. It’s a VERY new blog but it has a pretty cute design that was put together by . . . . ME!
4) Without any stupid segue, let me tell you about my next random thing. There’s a hole in my shin. At least, I think it’s a hole — looks like a hole. Maybe it’s just a divot — like the ones I leave at the golf course. Either way, it is the result of a step up that went horribly, horribly awry. I’m kind of clumsy like that.
5) Like Renee, I am a singer. For several semesters in college, I was a Vocal Performance major. After college, for a few years, I kept up with performing through a community theater that specialized in Musical Theater. These days, however, my voice has forgotten how to sing an aria, instead settling for nursery rhymes and lullabies. There are times when I wish that I hadn’t changed my major to English Literature. After nearly ten years without training and daily vocalizing, my range is not what it used to be, and I wonder, a lot, where I would be today if I had stayed on that first path. Hmmm . . . I probably wouldn’t have a certain Boy living with me or a Little Lady drooling on me. That possibility is tragic.
6) In my real, every day life, I am not an outgoing, funny person. I am ridiculously shy and have a hard time making friends because of it. I’m intimidated of new situations and panic at the thought of going to a party or event where I don’t know anyone. Surprisingly though, teaching and professional situations are not difficult for me. In professional situations, I am perfectly at ease and in charge. That’s definitely not the case in the social arena. . . there I’m the cliche: a wall-flower. Thank goodness for blogging, where I can pretend to be outgoing and confident!
And, now, I must find my own 6 Twitter friends to obsess over. I’ve received a lot of new followers lately (thanks to GNO), and a few of them are listed below!
1. PinkaholicMom (blog: Aloha Monkey Tales)
2. MuthaMae (blog: Mutha Mae)
3. Tweety24 (blog: Nothing But Purple)
4. mommycracked (blog: Mommy Cracked)
5. hellokittiemama (blog: The Bon Bon Gazette)
6. MamaMulla (blog: Mommay’s Mayhem)
The Rules:
Now, if you’ve been tagged with the meme game from twitter, you must post 6 things no one knows about you on your BLOG. Then you have to tag 6 more people. (don’t forget to let them know they’ve been tagged.) Leave me a message letting me know that you’ve accepted the tag. Let me know when you’ve posted your list and make sure there’s a link back to my BLOG. Have fun!!!
