Remember when I decided to embrace my mommy blogger identity? No? Well, it was a long time ago… But one of the things I said was that I was going to see if I could join DC Metro Moms [DC Metro Moms closed shop July 1, 2010 – all posts are now on this site] and make it official.
They’re just now accepting new bloggers, so I’m in! AND I have my first post up today, titled “Your Identity in Two Paragraphs or Less.” Actually, the title is a bit longer because it’s a rule that you have to put something in the title indicating what the post is about. Something about search engines I think…can’t remember…I was too exhausted by figuring out TypePad to do more than skim that part of the instructions.
And now that I think of it, that title is incredibly misleading. It may appear the I will actually attempt to sum up my identity in two paragraphs [insert image of me languidly throwing back my head in a peal of world weary laughter here]. Like THAT would ever happen. No, it’s the opposite – I ramble on about how impossible that is for me.
BUT it’s not just my usual long-winded hooey (I don’t think I’ve ever written “hooey” before – is that even a word?) There is also a rather shocking “big reveal” in there. Unless of course, you are an IRL friend who already knows my big news…and unless you think “shocking” implies something as sensational as say, the revelation that there is a major swingers community in your neighborhood. Actually that probably is more exciting than my news – but I think you catch my drift – I announce something in that post that is big news for me.
So go visit me at DC Metro Moms today – I’m not sure how many people will be online over a holiday weekend…but if you are, check it out. And please comment so the other Metro Moms don’t think I’m a loser. It’s so hard being the new girl…
Congratulations!! :) I'm not exactly a DC Metro Mom (I'm about 50 minutes South), but I hope you can hear me cheering for you! ;) Your news is exciting!!!!
Congratulations on BOTH of your new gigs!
I'm so excited that you're finally a contributor to DC Moms! In my opinion, you should have been the first one on their team! And since I am an IRL friend, your big announcement isn't news to me, but I am still SUPER thrilled for you! HURRAH!
Aha! I thought that might be the news! Congrats on that and the DC Metro Moms gig.
Congratulations! You really deserve your new blogger status and I'd like to comment there too but am having trouble making the comment screen come up. Maybe tomorrow you can walk me through it. I do love the retro illustration. Reminded me of my childhood when milk came in real bottles delivered at the door each morning! Anyway I loved the post. Lots of good memories there. You are too big a personality to put in two paragraphs!
Hooey's a word, yeah :)) Funny….
Read it, loved it, commented.
Congrats :)
My word verification is flump. I think that if hooey is a word, then flump should be too.
I tried to leave a comment over there, but I'm not sure it took. Typepad hates me.
So in case it never shows up I wanted to say, Congratulations on the DC Moms and also on your new decision! It sounds like you have a great plan in place.
Yeah, apparently Typepad wants nothing to do with us blogger.com types. Sounds like some excellent changes are coming your way. Congratulation on both of them.
Staying home with the kids is great! You'll love it.
Yay! I'm so happy you're a DC Metro mom blogger now! I'm off to find your news!
Congrats!! You are deserving of this great writing experience! I am sure that you will continue to do amazing posts—-much like your first one.
(Which I commented on—by the by—but I am not sure that it worked) ?
"Hooey" is DEFINITELY a word. I- I mean, my grandma- says it all the time…
Congrats!
If I remember how to do bows when she's 16, I'll totally give you a tutorial. ;)
