Shell-LITE

Did you have a fun holiday weekend?


When we were on the way to go see fireworks, my 5 year-old, wanting to know how long we were going to be driving asked "Where are we going to see fireworks?" to which my 4 year-old replied, "In the sky!"


I got a good giggle out of that one, especially since "In the sky" was said with a bit of a "duh, how can you not know that?" tone.


Since it's still the weekend here for us- Hubs has the day off,- I thought I'd do something quick and easy for a post today. BUT- if you missed this week's BFF post, please go click to it now HERE. Jenn wrote about wondering if she will ever feel like she's doing enough as a mom- it's such a wonderful post that I think we can all relate to. Please go leave her some love if you haven't already. She's a hidden gem in the blogosphere that I want you to find!

1. Who of all your blog friends would you like to meet and/or who have you met?
I've known Supah and Angie since before I started blogging. Supah for about 4 years and Angie since we were 4.


Thanks to SITS Bloggy Bootcamp in Baltimore, I met a lot of bloggers in person.

My sippy cup girls: Mommyologist, Grasshoppa, and Sunday. Yes, those were mimosas in our sippy cups.

Plus Kiran, Kat, MamaKat, Tiffany, Tina, Dumbmom(who had no clue who I was and thought I was a crazy stalker), Jayme, Michelle, Sarah....and lots more! If you want to see pics, go HERE.


And of course, I just met Princess recently when she was on vacation sort of close to where I live. If you missed that pic, you can find it HERE.


Who do I want to meet? Okay, I started listing people out and linking to them....but realized that it was going to take me all dang day to do it because there are so many of you that I want to meet! Can't we just have one big meet-up/party? Preferably on an NC beach so I don't have to drive very far to get there. Yes, I'm totally lazy like that.


What kind of vehicle(s) do you drive? Minivan Mama, baby! I have a Buick Terraza that I love.


What kind of cell phone do you have? Blackberry Curve. And it hates me. I get the spinning hourglass of death all the time. Bizarre error messages. It holds my emails hostage sometimes. And the trackball goes all crazy. But, still, I'm addicted to it.


What's the most annoying thing you wish bloggers would stop doing? Yikes. Hard to pick one...and even harder to stop listing things...
*No-reply so I can't talk back at ya
*Blog not in profile- I like to follow back, but can't if I can't find you!
*Comments that are left where you can tell the person didn't read the whole post and is just responding to one sentence of the whole post and they missed what the blogger actually meant
*Trash-talking other bloggers on your blog- that's what email is for, duh
*When someone responds to comments right on their own blog- unless you have a system where they are emailed to the person you are replying to- it's hard enough for me to get to all the blogs I want to read- I can't visit them again to look to see if someone has replied
*Horrible grammar
*If you point out someone's horrible grammar in a comment
*People who complain that no one reads or comments on their posts- but they don't go read and comment on others
*Comments that aren't about the post you just read, but about your own blog- like "Please visit me at ....." or a comment that just says "thanks for visiting my blog- I hope you visit again!"- but if you aren't reading someone's blog, why would they want to then come visit yours?
*Someone who goes on and on with lists like this- so I'll stop now

and finally...

What's the one thing that you still have on your bucket list to do before the year is out?
To have a night away with Hubs, no children- and I mean an overnight, not just a date night out- anyone want to come babysit????
