WELCOME, WELCOME, WELCOME!


Hello SITSta's and Blogging Buddies!!!

Please come in. Take off your jacket, sit back, relax and stay awhile. For I have the honor of being today's featured SITS blogger. This is one blog you don't want to miss out on!

SITS, what's that you say? Well The Secret Is in The Sauce. Yes the sauciness of women bloggers all over the world gathering together on one communal site to share their stories of passion, grace, fatigue, love and well you get the idea.

Through SITS I have virtually met a lot of great women who have taught me a thing or two about this whole blogging world. Like for example:

1) Hump Day - Yeah I remember when I first started commenting on the SITS site and every Wed people would wish each other a happy Hump Day. I was so confused (dirty pictures running through my twisted little brain.) Until another SITSta informed me that it means Happy Wed! That you've made it over the Hump of the week and are one step closer to the weekend.

2) MeMe - A what? Are we warming up our singing voices here? This is a fun little game we play on specific days, created randomly by you, the blogger. An example would be something like Wordless Wednesday where you post a photo and other bloggers comment on what they think it's about or post funny captions.

3) Blog Awards - Seriously, you can actually win an award for writing about your life? People actually care about what you have to say and acknowledge you through awards? Oh yeah! It feels good too, when you are awarded your first reward. An acceptance speech is definitely recommended. After that, they just start pouring in!

4) Free Loot - OMG, did you know that you can win a ton of free stuff. YUP, just visit other SITSta's who are promoting giveaways. I won't toot my own horn, okay I will and admit I've won a few things here and there and everywhere. Oh yeah and if your blog is popular, companies actually come to you and send you free gifts. Who would have thunk it?

Okay enough about what I've learned since I've found SITS. This is my day, so you know I've got to make it all about ME!!!

Come join me on my adventure...................................


I'm a 32 year old, *cough, cough* I mean 25 year old, single Mom. I have THAT KID, you know the one who accidentally locks himself in the pantry, gets stuck in the baby swings at the park, has a mouth and attitude like a teenager and he's only 9, Kid! We call him, The Boy. Then there's The Boyfriend, We call him, The BF! He does the laundry, loads the dishwasher and washes the cars. Umm Hello, could I have scored a better Man? I don't think so. We have been together for 4 years (wow, this month) and we recently purchased a house together. We are currently in the process of remodeling. 1 Bathroom down, 2 more to go, plus a kitchen. We have 2 kittens, Chloe and Emmitt. I just have one question. How many kittens do you have to have to officially be dubbed " THE CAT LADY"? Kittens are addicting like tattoos. I've been told NO MORE PETS, by both The BF and The Boy. Booo Hooo! I love arts and crafts and enjoy searching your blogs for inspiring ideas. I've recently fallen in love with my slow cooker and am on the search for a way to slow cook a boneless Lamb. Any ideas? I work Full-Time as Senior Accountant and on the side I have my own consulting Accounting business.

So this is my life, in a nut shell, written and exposed for all to see. My journal of sorts. Throughout life we need to learn to sometimes Wake Up and Smell the Coffee, because the grass isn't always greener on the other side and life is never exactly what it seems.

What I usually think is "C'est la vie, say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell!"

Sassy Salsa girl said...

Excellent introduction! I think cat lady refers to those ladies with cats that have kittens that turn into cats that have kittens.....
:D

Valerie @ Inner Child Fun said...

Wow! Congrats on your SITS day! Very well deserved!! xoxoxo

Unknown said...

Happy SITS feature day!

One of my fears, when I was little, was that I'd turn into a car lady & now I know how this happens, "kittens are addicting, like tattoos" (& I've always wanted a tattoo)...

Hope you have a great day!

Unknown said...

Happy SITS day : ) You seem like a barrel of fun :) I love your happy attitude! : )

So nice to meet you! I think you have to have a minimum of 12 cats to get into the 'cat lady' club.

Unknown said...

Congrats to you on your SITS Day!
I just want to say that I loved your blog the moment I saw the word "Coffee" in the title.
I LIVE for coffee!

Lucy said...

Jess @ Frugal with a Flourish said...

Congrats on your SITS day! On your question of how many cats does it take to be a crazy cat lady - my personal opinion is that you have to have 4 to qualify. (Which is one more than is currently living in my home!)

Lisa Johnson said...

Happy SITS Day! The name of your blog pulled me over here. I love coffee and my "real name" is Lisa too. : )

Goodnight moon said...

Happy SITS day- I love your JibJab! Really the family drew the line at 2 kitties, that's kinda sad.

Happy SITS day! We are down to just two cats, except for the crazy wild stray that hangs around to give me the stink eye every time he sees me before he takes off running, I don't think he counts. Can't wait to read more of your blog.

Frog Hollow Farm Girl said...

Congrats on your SITS day! I'm not even sure what that is yet but I keep visiting the sites that are featured. I loved your glossary of blog terms - it was helpful to me as a fairly new blogger. Love, love, love kittens - and I'm allergic - go figure! Just redid the master bedroom - pics on my blog! Enjoy your day and give the Boy a hug - when my son was in those 'interesting' years I bought a pillow that said "All Things Grow With Love". It was a good thought to remember during those years!

I need some sort of activity for a college classroom that teaches about crime and violence. It is for a class on social problems ANY ideas or welcome, as it's a very broad topic.

Cashier said...
