Hey Blissdom peeps, It’s me, Elaine!

I’ll be wearing different earrings at Blissdom because I CAN. I usually just wear these studs that the hubs (Tim) gave me for our second anniversary because I know a kid can’t rip them out of my ears (trust me, they’ve tried).  I may come at you with this face you see above because I already “know” you and like you so much via the internets.  Don’t be scared.  It’s just because I’m a lover not a hater.   I tend to bite my nails so I may or may NOT have whites on the end of my fingernails when you meet me. Or maybe I will when you meet me but won’t by the time the conference is over. (now you’re going to look, aren’t you?) (maybe I’ll paint them no matter what…) I’m semi-addicted to HGTV and clothes shopping.  There are always dust bunnies in my bedroom somewhere.  They elude me on the daily.  My Swiffer is no match for them.  This is NOT my real hair color.  But I’m okay with that.  I quite love my “me time” away from the kids at the salon.  Part of the reason I color my hair.   I come by my belly pouch honestly, I’ve carried 3 babies.  And NONE of them got my brown eyes, what is up with that??? I’ve recently lost some weight by eating low carb and doing Zumba and running.  But sometimes I REALLY want pizza and a cookie (or 5) (cookies, not pizzas…) and well, don’t want to run, so I don’t.  I like to sleep from 11-7 but a lot of times I’m not in bed until almost midnight and lately my middle child comes into bed with us by 6 a.m or so.  I make a kick ass guacamole.  And pretty darn good chocolate chip cookies.  I like to grocery shop and do laundry only once a week.  If I have to go back to the store or do a load of wash on a random Wednesday, it annoys me. I consume a fair amount of Cabernet and dark chocolate. I’m pretty laid back except when it comes to traffic.  Sitting in traffic annoys me BAD. I love my camera and take A LOT of pictures.  I’ve made some REALLY awesome friends through blogging and hope to make even more next week at Blissdom.

So, there’s some really random, off the cuff things about me.  In a nutshell though, I’m just a fun-loving gal who feels blessed to have her wonderful husband and three fabulous children and thinks the blogging community is a really wonderful thing and I cannot WAIT to meet more of you in person. So, if you see me, PLEASE come talk to me if I don’t come to you first, k? 

Yay, I’m getting SO excited!!
