Mixin it Up: New Friends in the New Year

January 4, 2013 11 Comments

Join the fun!

 

I’m so excited. I’ve been chosen to be the Mixologist for the More than Mommies Mixer.  It’s my job to get the party started!

I love a good virtual party. I don’t even have to get out of my fuzzy slippers to have a blast.

Want to come out and play?  The mixer is a great way for bloggers to make new connections with other bloggers and for readers to find more awesome blogs to read.

In case you’re new around here, I want to help you get to know me – super fast.

25 Things You Should Know About Me:

  1. I’m a Pisces.
  2. It took me years to learn how to spell it right.
  3. I don’t eat seafood of any kind because they are my brothers an sisters.
  4. And it tastes fishy.
  5. Except I love Eel, sushi style.  I think Eel is a tasty sea monster that probably goes around scaring all my sweet little friends.
  6. I like short walks on the beach. From the car to the water’s edge is perfect.
  7. Red wine. Never white. And no Merlot please.
  8. I’m an introvert.
  9. I DO like people. But not all the time.
  10. I’m an idealist.
  11. And super sensitive.
  12. I’m a homeschool mom.
  13. I will use bad language here when appropriate.
  14. I don’t wear denim jumpers.
  15. I hate turtlenecks.
  16. I’m a jeans and t-shirt type of girl.
  17. I kind of love letting my kids learn naturally through their interests.
  18. And sometimes I still freak out.
  19. I’ve been a writer since the 3rd grade when I tried to write a novel.
  20. It still isn’t finished.
  21. I procrastinate. Often.
  22. I’m late. Often.
  23. This post was supposed to be published hours ago and the mixer has started without me.
  24. The formatting in this post has gone totally wonky, but I’m publishing it anyway, because no one likes a perfectionist, right?
  25. It’s driving me crazy. I need it to be perfect.

    No, it’s not your fault! It was all perfect and then something happened. I don’t know what exactly – and the link up section has vanished. It’s the codes fault. And I don’t understand the code. :( I’m sorry!
