- I’m totally only doing a list post because Problogger told me to do so. I was just so pleased that tip #1 in 31 Days to Build a Better Blog was not “Get somebody else to write it you talentless peon” that I decided to stick with the program. Although you know, I’m going to have to say it, some people need tip #1.
- Speaking of blogs, remember the other day when I said I was going to ask my readers for help? If you are interested in helping, let me know in comments and I’ll send you an email about what I call “Project Flog”. There will be a small time commitment involved, but I think that everyone who participates will be rewarded, too. Intrigued? BTW, if after you get the email you decide it’s not for you, there is no obligation to participate.
- Ooh! I asked for help! The life coaching is working!
- True Confession: Sometimes when people try to soothe me when I complain about my kids and say “They’re only young once” I pout and whine that I’m only going to be 34 once, too. Hey, world! Can’t you at least pretend you can still see me underneath all the kids? Thank you. Obligatory disclaimer: I love those little stinkers.
- In case you didn’t see it when I linked on Twitter: Quite possibly the oddest invitation to visit a website I’ve ever received.
- I am using this post to confess to my husband that I spent $14.50 to have a Mo’s Bacon Bar delivered to the house today.
- It’s okay though because my secret Flog project will make me rich, RICH!
- If you are a PR person for Fit Flops, I think it would be an incredibly smart move to send me a free pair. I won’t even say how expensive they are in my review or nothing, just post photoshopped pictures of my tight little booty and give you all the credit!
- Cute kid story. Yesterday Alex is talking about how he was born in the year of the horse and how his brother Kir was born in the year of the monkey. Kir shouts “A-lex! I was born in year of the spider!” and Alex says “Mom, tell him” and I told Kir “yeah, it was the year of the monkey” (I remember well because all my Chinese restaurant place mats that year said “beware of the monkey”) and Kir looks at us, stomps and says “Well it was a spider monkey!” Then he spent the rest of the walk home shooting imaginary webs at all of the cars driving by.
- Oh yeah, the prize. I am going to give one random commenter a secret prize! Why is it a secret? Because I won’t know what it is until I see who wins and where they live. If I know you very well, it could be awesome! Cheap, but awesome. If I don’t know anything about you and you live in Uzbekistan and leave a dull “enter me” comment, well it will probably be something dull like a handkerchief or travel mug. Just comment on this post to enter. Tell me something random about yourself to help me figure out a prize. On blog reader appreciation day (which I swear is a made up day but I celebrate to keep my family happy) right before I go to bed at about 11pm CST I will pick a winner at random Remember to also let me know know if you want to be involved in Project Flog, too.
Thanks for being great readers and even considering maybe taking the time to think about helping me! Now I have to go and run and take a shower and clean the house and bake some cookies for my phone call with my life coach this afternoon!
WooHoo! The winner is lucky number 13 Pluie! Luckily I already know where she lives, so this should be fun!
