How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Coming out of Hiding?

in Everyday on

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?

    1. Nice to finally “meet” you! You look fabulous 🙂

      Me.. I’m quiet, reserved and observant until I spend more time with you. Then I’m 50/50 quiet and and outgoing. Everything depends on my mood. My blogging style and how I read/reply to other blogs is a testament to that. I go quiet, then become a social butterfly, rinse and repeat.

    4. Oh wow, what a lovely post modern mom, You’re very beautiful just so you know! But im sure you know 😉

      Thank you for sharing a lot of info about you! and I love your morals and values about love and family, I have still so much to learn and I take advantage of those two things quite often, but I try to change as much as I can.

      You have just motivated me to write a bit about me on my blog! thank you :), feel free to read it and get to know me alittle more!

      xxoxox you are the best modern mom! truly!

    5. That is awesome!
      I’m a wife and proud.
      A mom and not good at it (some days).
      I run (but slow).
      And sadly, I am about 30 lbs overweight. BOOO!

      You are beautiful, btw! I enjoy your blog!

    6. Modern mom, so lovely to see a posted picture, you are BEAUTIFUL, and that was said with complete honesty.

      A few things about me,
      my friends think I’m a bit funny.
      only a few good friends know I blog from time to time.
      I want to go to Law school.
      I am the youngest in my family.
      um…lets see one more
      I believe that love can get you through anything.

      xoxo

    7. Oh admit it! You love the attention!…well, it suits you, and yes, you could sooo pull off the two cute ponytails, you’re beautiful, you could look good wearing a green garbage bag. I hate you.
      No I don’t.
      But I am in awe of you, I am not worthy I am not worthy ~this is me bowing at your feet~
      You go girl!

    10. Pleased to see your smiling face at last. Your portrait in the header is quite accurate!

      Wine hates me, too. But most of the rules love me because I respect them.

      I am a former Dungeons & Dragons nerd.

      Middle age snuck up on me but I am fighting it off.

      L.L. Bean and J. Jill are my fashion icons.

      Buttered popcorn is my drug of choice.

      I’m not nearly as bloggily brave as you are!

    12. I guess I didn’t realize I hadn’t seen a picture of you. I have been following you like forever! Maybe because I see your cute little face on FB! 🙂

      You are adorable…and think you look great! You’re my Starbucks girl! :0) No one but you states that more than you and I on our blogs…

    13. You are gorgeous! Now to tell you something about me. I love a good party although staying up past 10 pm is quite a feat for me now. I hate asking for help too. I am also married to my best friend.
