Come On In and Party Down.

Ultimate Blog Party 2010

Well, hello! Are you here for the party? Don't worry if you didn't get an invitation, party crashers are welcome (at least I hope so, since that's what I'm doing).

For those of you who haven't heard, 5 Minutes For Mom is hosting a little shindig called the Ultimate Blog Party. Apparently, this is the party to end all parties, as it lasts for an entire week—and it's got an appropriately gargantuan guest list  (as far as I can tell, nearly everyone in the blogosphere is coming).

So, since I can't stand to be left out of things, I thought I'd tag along after all the cool kids and throw open the doors to my humble little blog. Oh, and did I mention it's a costume party?


Don't worry if you didn't dress up. I took the liberty of getting you all fairy princess get-ups. So put on your tiara...

grab your magic wand...

and join me for an appropriately fru-fru drink.


Oh, come on, it's all in the name of blog party fun!

So, by now, you're probably wondering who this mad woman you've found yourself stuck with actually is. And you know what? I wish I knew the answer to that, I really do.

Here's what I do know—I'm a red-headed, hot tempered drama queen who writes to live and lives to write. I've got myself a gorgeous baby girl...


a spectacularly patient husband, and a whole menagerie of persnickety pets.

I write about whatever comes to mind. So sometimes I share sappy stuff, like this post about my daughter's first birthday...

And sometimes I talk about random stuff, like ways to tell if you're PMSing.

Sometimes I think out loud about the kind of role model I want to be for my daughter.

And sometimes I talk about my own struggles with depression.

But, more often than not,  I'm just  plain silly.

But that's enough about me. Let's talk about you. What drew you to blogging? What keeps you going? Do you want to be my bloggy friend? I'd like to be yours...

I don't want to be needy, so I'll cut you loose to continue on through the party circuit. But before you go, grab a piece of the yummy chocolate cake I baked for you.


That's right. I'm not above bribery here. So come back soon. You never know what delicious treats you'll find waiting for you!

  1. LOVE the photo!
    And you are clearly smarter than I am since I could NOT for the life of me figure out how to get the html banner in the actual blog post.

  4. Unfortunately for you, I don't like chocolate. Yet FORTUNATELY for you, I love writing and writers and e-friends that comment and dress up parties (I'm in my HP gear, by the way) and adorable little girls.

    I also suffer with depression. If you ever need to talk with some, stop by my blog or send me an email. Sometimes we just need to talk. To vent. To cry. I totally get it.

    And since you asked, I've never read Kim Harrison but she is now on my list! My favorites are JR Ward and Sherrilyn Kenyon with a little early Laurel K Hamilton mixed in. I'm currently making my way through Keri Authur's Riley Jenson series. Very impressed!

  6. First I want to say I want some of that cake! But anyway, I started blogging because I heard it was a way to make extra money on the side but then found that I just loved expressing myself and learning about new things. Blogging is a great way to get the word out about important things in the world.
