Blog Hop '09



If you Twitter you have had to hear all the buzz about about the BlogHer Conference going on in Chicago this weekend. It looks like a lot of fun. But for those of us who aren't sharing in that fun Robin @ Pensieve and Jo-Lynne @ Musings of a Housewife have set up a Mr. Linky so that we can visit with each other while at home.

They have also asked that we share a little bit about ourselves but to keep it simple so here goes...

This is a picture of me and my family taken in June at Nike Outdoor track meet in NC with our son.

Like you can probably tell from the picture I am a mom to 4 wonderful kids ages 18 to 10. Mark and I just celebrated our 20th anniversary 2 weeks ago. I feel fortunate to have him love me regardless of all my quirks. Feel free to tell me that I don't look old enough to be Zack's mom because I don't feel old enough.

Likes:
  • Coke- I keep trying to give it up but I keep going back to it. (BTW, I am referring to the drink not the drug. Although it is like a drug to me. BAH)
  • Family- I am a stay at home mom who is never home. You will find me in the bleachers or sitting at the shot put and discus rings. I enjoy going to my kids sports and cheering them on.
  • Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream sandwiches- yep, addiction number 2. Wink!
  • My computer and iPod Touch- my family thinks those are an addiction also. Hmph!
Dislikes:
  • Angry people- that can't be a fun way to live.
  • Cold or rainy weather when I have to be at an outdoor event- I am kinda girly/whimpy when it comes to the weather.
  • Cleaning house- it is a love hate relationship, I love a clean house but I hate cleaning it.
  • Hazelnuts- actually they kinda hate me but my EpiPen protects me.
Make sure you leave a comment and say hello. You can also find me on Twitter. Then make sure you click on the Blog Hop picture above to go check out more blogs.

Smiles!

It's nice to meet you! :) Actually your whole family is a blessing and we are glad that we met you all - quite a few years ago. I agree that you look too young to be Zack's Mom!

Mmm... I LOVE Hazelnuts (but try to limit myself to eating them at Christmas (but if they sneak their way into a chocolate or two, I look the other way)!

Nice to meet you through blog hop (I'm slowly making my way through, but I keep stopping to read and visit. Better late than never!) - I love your blog background!
