And... who the hell are you?

So, as I am now famous in the blog world (with an AMAZING 79 followers!) I must know... who are you?

(No, mom... you don't need to answer. You know, like when you leave me voicemail that says, "This is your mom." It's the voice that is only more familiar to me than my own. I know who you are.)

Anywho... who are the rest of you? How did you find me here in my extremely modest part of the interwebs where I share my most shocking (and ridiculous, and sometimes ignorant) thoughts.

Who am I?

Well, feel free to ask anything and I will feel free to answer or not answer at my liking.

The basics--
I'm 30.
I've been married for 5.5 years to a person I've been with for 12. And I'm madly in love with him and call him my best friend.
I graduated from high school, college, and graduate school and constantly think about what I'd like to do with my life.
I stupidly asked if squirrels were born in eggs. (They aren't. Don't ask.)
I have 2 parents and one sister (one brother in law, and one nephew.)
I'm growing a person who will make his entrance into the world at the end of July (I hope!)
I love fiber one poptarts.
I hate being in the car more than an hour.
I love to read.
I love to go to bed early. Always have. It's just now that I can blame it on the baby.
I can't wait to have a bottle of wine while sitting in my glider. (Judge. Judge away.)

I'm relatively new to blogging and came across your blog by randomly hitting "next blog" in a sordid attempt to rip off ideas for my own blog layout. I read a few of your entries and found myself chuckling.

I'm 42.
I've been married for 8+ years to a man I've known for 10 years.
I graduated high school, university, and am considering graduate school and am constantly thinking about what I'd like to do with my life.
I have never wondered if squirrels were born in eggs.
I have 2 parents, 3 brothers, one sister, various in-laws, and 17 nieces and nephews.
I wish, boy do I wish, that I was growing a person but have struggled with infertility for years, so I live vicariously through my family & friends who are kind enough to lend me their adorable children (whom I spoil rotten before sending them back to their weary parents).
I have never eaten a fibre one poptart but find the cereal disgusting.
I hate being in the car more than an hour unless I'm on a road trip going somewhere totally awesome and I'm driving and the sun is shining.
I love to read.
I am a night owl and rarely go to bed early.
I think I'll break open a bottle of wine while sitting on my glider this evening (thanks for that suggestion!).

You know me. I went to school with you. I am boring. But you still like to hang out with me sometimes. I lived in your home for a week because you rock. I read your blog because it's funny and I miss you!

I have a new blogging addiction. I love to read blogs, I go through my list on google reader each night. I found yours by hitting "next blog" and liked what I read ... seems like you may have a little Jen Lancaster in you too.

My own blog has been having an identity crises lately (http://theintertwinedlife.blogspot.com/) and I love stealing, I mean checking out, other blog ideas and formats.

I have also grown a person inside me, a daughter and I have 2 awesome step-sons as well. Congrats. It will change your life forever, in a good way.

And keep the house stocked with vino, you will find yourself needing, I mean occassionaly partaking in a nip here and there.

CHEERS!

I came across your blog while hitting the next blog button. I browsed, chuckled and hit the follow button. As for who I am:
- 31 year old weekend(unfortunately) father of three
- hard worker, voracious reader, internet addict, compulsive organizer and cleaner.
- oh and I work nights so I like to internet browse in the middle of the night and see what I can find

Hi there - I also stumbled across your blog, I also like to hit "next blog" until I find someone who catches my interest - I think you write well and have a sense of humour. I am 40 have two children, a daughter 17 and a son 16, I have been married for almost 19 years and consider myself to be pretty lucky. I am an Aussie and live in Brisbane, Queensland. I started following blogs to research an illness that I have (not life-threatening). I wanted to know as much as I could about treatment, diet etc. I found that there are a lot of people out there that are really unfortunate but are so positive - i like reading blogs that inspire me. Anyway keep up the good work with the blog. Kerrie

Hola,

I was friends with your sister in high school... love your blog. You crack me up.

Deana said...

Ummm... I met you when your sister became one of my best friends ever! Who knew I'd be getting such a deal... two silly sisters in one fell swoop! It's only like the best bargain I've ever found. Love you and your little cauliflower-sized baby.

Hello!!
I finished updating our family blog and happened to stumble upon the "next blog" button and yours happened to be next! I find your blog humorous and easy to relate to, so I became a follower. So here's a bit about me:
I'm 31.
I've been married to my husband for 9.5 years and have been dating him since I was 14(more than half my life and we still like each other!!!)
I graduated from high school and college.
I work with animals so I've never asked if squirrels came from eggs.
I have two wonderful parents, one younger sister(who is my best friend) and one younger brother(who I like pretty darn well also).
I just finished growing my second person who arrived on April 9th and she's amazing.
I have never eaten a fiber one poptart, but enjoy the fiber one snack bars...especially while I was preggers.
I love being in the car more than an hour because it means I'm getting the heck away from work!!!
I am an occasional reader-love the Dan Brown books.
Not much of a sleeper-sleep when i'm dead mind set. Just too many freakin' things to do.
I'm currently breastfeeding, so no alcohol for me yet, but I do hear a tall frosty beer with olives calling my name soon...oh how I miss you MGD :)
SO thanks for letting me follower your blog and congrats on the little one on the way. Becoming a mom is the most emotionally chaotic thing I've done-and I've done it twice!!! Many blessings to you!!
