Time has gotten away from me. TODAY is my One Year Blogaversary and 201st post. I was so wrapped up in all of my Mama Drama that I completely missed that yesterday's post was number 200!
The anniversary giveaway is a $50 Target gift card. All you have to do is leave a comment for one entry. If you're a follower or become a follower and leave a comment then you'll get three entries. Deadline for entry is 11:59 PM on Thursday, March 26. Let's have some FUN!
I'm loving this blogging thing and all of the wonderful people that I've met in blogland. Here for your reading please is my FIRST ever post from one year ago today. I still stand by every word.

This Is My Life! Post #1 - March 24, 2008
In no particular order....I am a wife, mother, educator, daughter of the South. I'm conservative yet politically liberal. I have the most wonderful husband in the world and two children, Legare (pronounced "Lagree") and Lorelai, who make their parents look like the best parents in the world. They save "showing out" for when they are at home and behave like a perfect southern gentleman and a perfect southern lady in public (as far as I know).
I have incredibly strong opinions on just about anything you might bring up and don't mind sharing them. I try hard to balance the southern belle thing with "taking care of business." There are some really dimwitted people out there and I kind of feel responsible for setting them straight. Sometimes they appreciate it and sometimes they don't. I'm OK either way.
Life is good from where I'm sitting in the Lowcountry of South Carolina....not that there isn't unpleasantness from time to time. We have elderly parents, demanding professional lives. The children are heading to law school and college in the fall. We're busy!! This blog is going to be interesting....it's a new experience for this ol' gal but we'll see what happens. Stay with me...

ReplyDeleteOh and I'm already a follower :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats, I love your blog!! I am also a follower!!!
ReplyDeleteMy mother is 89 and insists on living by herself with many health issues. I help her do things, take her places,etc. It is not easy. The older she gets, the gripier she gets. She doesn't trust anyone at all! Lives in fear we may put her in a home! I know from experience that it can't be easy for you either!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I love Target!
God bless,
Jennifer
