Welcome to Blogger!

I want to take a second to welcome a friend of mine over to blogger! She had a great blog over on Wordpress but seemed to lose her way for a bit. She's back with a brand new blog and even though there are only a few posts so far, I think you should bookmark or make it a blog you follow!

Can You Shut Up Already!

Welcome back Peaches!

Sniffle Sniffle

The lack of comments is really starting to make me a little sad. If everyone who lurked here left one comment a week I would be a happy girl. Just one little comment would brighten my day. I'll make you a deal....you leave me some comments, and I promise to update at least every other day. I'll even go a step further. I'll throw in a contest in a few weeks. I already have one in mind. Deal?

Everyone Needs An Update...

Dear all my blogging friends,

I think it is time we all updated our blogs. My pathetic blog roll has had the same posts on it for months. I need updates. Please log off Facebook and get to it!

With Love,

A Free Dr. Pepper You Say....

I heard a funny story driving to work the other morning. Apparently Guns & Roses is supposed to be putting out a new album. in November. Honestly, I could care less. However, since everything they do turns into a three ring circus and always falls apart, Dr. Pepper has said if they actually release the record on time, they will give every person in America a free Dr. Pepper. I'm not joking, you can read the article for yourself.

Since I am not a fan of the drink, should everyone in America receive a free can of Dr. Pepper, I will happily send my coupon to my good friend over at Confessions of a Dr. Pepper Addict. Obviously, you can see why I would send it to her. So there you go. I'm thinking it will never happen but for the sake of my friend, we can hope G&R gets their act together!

Damn....Tagged Again

Let it be known, I will no longer play the tag game. This is the final one. Nothing personal. I've been tagged by Tales from the Beehive. I love her blog, and the recipes are unbelievable!
So here are seven obscure things you probably never wanted to know about me...

1. I never wanted to get married and have kids. I really enjoyed the peter pan syndrome life I was leading. One morning I woke up and I was married and had a kid. I couldn't be happier! My favorite thing to do is lay around in my pajamas on a rainy day and just relax with my boys!

2. I needed a hysterectomy at 33. I was blessed with severe endometriosis and PCOS. My doctor still can't believe I was able to conceive my son. Miracle.

3. I was a cheerleader in high school. I still cringe thinking about that.

4. I have defects in my knees. Long story short, some tendons attached in the wrong place and three knee surgeries later, they still bother me.

5. I have five older brothers. My mother says if she would have had me first, she would have stopped having kids.

6. I can play the clarinet. I can actually play beautifully. I should have went to college for music. Who knows where I would be right now. However, I would not have my husband and son so I am happy with my choice.

7. I married an amazingly talented man. He is an unbelievable carpenter and he also knows how to shape and glass surf boards. Really cool if you ask me.

There you have it. A few things about me you never asked and didn't want to know.
