How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Coming out of Hiding?

in Everyday on 11/10/10

I’ve been “outed”. 

Turns out going to a social media conference forces you to show your real face.  I went to Blissdom Canada and met people in real life.  Weird right?  I guess it was inevitable, I mean I couldn’t walk around with a bag over my head forever.  At this point my friends and family still don’t know I blog, so I can continue to make grammatical mistakes, blog about sex and indelicate bathroom situations, and b*tch about Mommy cliques.  But I’ve been thinking, is it fair for every other blog in the world yeah like I’m that popular to be flashin my picture around when I have not even posted one of myself yet??

So with that in mind.  Here you go. This is me:

….and just so you know.

I am not the girl who can pull off the two cute pony tails…not even at home.

I am not the life of the party, even if I wish I was, but I do host a fabulous one.

I love a great glass of wine, but wow, wine hates me now. Instant headache.  Same deal with hotdogs.

I can pretty much talk to anyone.

I am a rule follower.  A bit of a goody two shoes.  Sexy right?

I am prompt.

I detest liars, I get this from my Dad. 

I am one of the few people who adore the sunshine, but prays for rain when the barometer takes a dip.  Me and weather changes do not get along.

I am 5 pounds ..nope..10 pounds over weight and sick about it.  Having had a rib/back injury doesn’t seem to be a good enough excuse anymore.

I adore all things popcorn, chocolate, anything baked and Starbucks.  Yummmm.  This is not helping.

I crave travel.  Adore the planning and am usually thinking about my next trip before the suitcases are unpacked.

I firmly believe in the power of true love.

I hate having to ask for help.

I can be passive aggressive, not sneaky, just quietly annoyed.

I love my children with my entire heart…so much that it hurts sometimes.

I am blessed to be married to my best friend.

Just so you know…..

So there you go, I feel all vulnerable and naked now.  So now it is your turn, go on spill…what should I know about you?

      I knew it! You really are one of those beautiful mommies. Great list. We have quite a few things in common…other than the young and beautiful thing. 🙂

      So, what should you know about me?

      I’d rather be with my husband than anyone in the entire world. I have no fear of getting involved when I see someone being hurt. I am a master practical jokester.

      What you should know about me…
      I think you are absolutely beautiful! What have you been hiding for so long???
      I hate liars.
      I eat far too much chocolate.
      I also have 10 lbs to lose.
      My kids are my life.
      I think family becomes before everything.
      I will always tell you I am 25!

      This list could go on for eternity……

    Woo hoo - another amazing HomeExchange! This week Woo hoo - another amazing HomeExchange! 
This week we felt all kinds of spoiled in our cozy accommodations in gorgeous Scottsdale. We hiked local trails, snuck in a little golf, drove with the top down, ate all the food, and enjoyed a sweet sunset in our own backyard. All because #Homeexchange provided us with a unique - almost free- way to stay in Arizona and see all the things! 

We had such an amazing time we’re already planning our next adventure!
