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 wish sometimes I kept my blog a secret so I could blog about mommy group cliches, honestly.

      I love my husband and am annoyed by women who seem to love to bitch about theirs.

      Nice to put a face to a blog 🙂

      I think those 10 lbs are in the head! You sound like a gorgeous, vibrant woman…and are!

      I agree with the others; you’re attractive and you don’t appear 5 or 10 lbs. over. 🙂

      Do you think the family will find your blog? What would you do it they did?

      I’m a rule follower AND a hater of liars, too. But your reaction from wine AND hotdogs??? Quite random. 🙂

      Yay for showing your face! It took me a long time to do that, too.

      But, still not telling friends and family. Blog people can know it’s me, but that’s it!
