My Five Vices

March 19th, 2008

It’s been a long week and I’m finally getting some time to think and do stuff for just me. So I thought I’d indulge you by giving you some more useless info about myself and whatever it is about me that makes me who I possibly might be. Is your head spinning yet? Plus Holly from Menstrual Poetry has tagged me for the My Five Vices meme. I couldn’t resist boring readers with more crap so here it goes.

1.Caffeine Addiction
I’m an addict. No, not a drug addict. That was the first place your mind went, wasn’t it? So, if I don’t have at least two cups of coffee every morning and a glass of Pepsi at least…once an hour, I get insanely cranky. It might not show, but believe me, I’m not happy. I think it’s the one thing holding my sanity in place.

2. I Don’t Share Well
I’ll just say this. I’m very possessive about my baby. *hugs laptop* And I don’t like to share. Especially with a Jeep loving man who pollutes my bookmarks with crap about his interests. Especially since he has his own computer, which is collecting dust in a drawer somewhere.

3. Fingernails Are Yummeh
I’ve always chewed my fingernails. And I never have any, especially when I need them *cough*stickersonthewall*cough*. I used to get in trouble for it too. My mom resorted to putting that “special” nail polish on my hands, but even that didn’t work. I still chewed the bits that had been revealed by flaking. I think it’s a nervous habit mostly. And stress. *nods*

4. Organization Is Key
And on that note, I have to say I have none. I’d show you proof but I don’t want to scare you away. Haha. But the good thing is…I still know where everything is!! Isn’t that the important part?

5. Impulse Buyer!
Yes. My worst trait yet. I see it, I get it, it sits in a corner for five thousand years and never gets used and/or touched. My hubby is slowly treating this illness (yes it’s my own personal illness) and it’s going good. Hopefully it can be broken so I don’t continue to collect crap for the rest of my life.

So, I had to look up what “vices” actually were, how sad is that? But I hope I’ve fullfilled the requirements of it’s definition. These are my bad habits. Love me, hate me, I don’t care. I’m me. And I love it. :) I’m not gonna tag anyone in particular, mainly because all the people I can think of prolly already were, but if you want to do this on your own site, then I (un)officially tag you! Enjoy.

You and Your Handbag

February 4th, 2008

Have you ever noticed the women who sit their handbags on public toilet floors? I myself hang mine on the door. But they go from there to putting their handbags on the kitchen or dining room table at home or at someone’s house. It happens way to much. So if you think about it, it’s not always the restaurant food that causes stomach distress. Sometime what you don’t know will hurt you!  read more

The New Mom Blog Network On The Block

January 19th, 2008

Proud member of Mom Blog NetworkI recently joined a new social media site called Mom Blog Network. I have to say that out of all the ones I have joined in the past, this one is my favorite. It’s “the world’s first Digg just for mom blogs and parenting related news.”

I think the feature I like most is that, as well as submitting posts manually, you can add your blog to their directory, which uses your sites feed, and your posts are automatically added to the database and visible for people to vote on. The more votes a post gets, the more chance it has to make it to the front page and increase blog traffic. It’s a very useful site if you think about it. And it’s main focus is mom’s and parenting, and everything about being a parent. I visit it daily because articles are updated in real time so you always have the newest stuff to read from so many sources. I’ve gotten some other people to join as well, and they enjoy it very much.

The site is part of the ParentsClick Network, which also runs MothersClick, another place for moms to connect with each other and share experiences and advice. The creators of the site have this to say about their newest project:

Our mission is simply to provide a lively and helpful resource to connect active mom bloggers with the readers who enjoy them. By adding your site to Mom Blog Network, you’ll get increased visibility for your blog and that’ll drive more traffic your way.

Mom Blog Network invites all mom bloggers who are interested in promoting their sites through syndication, offering an easy way to reach a wider audience and drive more traffic for members. So check it out today!
