It won't be long before the new book, I Just Want to Pee Alone is released for public consumption! I want to remind you that the book will be available to purchase on Amazon.com when it's released and I will most likely announce that within 3 nanoseconds of getting the go ahead, so stay tuned. In the meantime, I want to say a hearty THANK YOU to whomever has placed a regular order using the Amazon.com link on my blog page here, because just using that link to buy ANYTHING on Amazon earns me a little commission. So if you are in the market for socks, a bowling ball, office supplies, bug killer,a tennis racket, bird seed, condoms, a waterproof mattress pad, a stuffed monkey or anything else you could POSSIBLY order from Amazon.com please us the link here on the old Snarkfest blog and help me put some pennies in 15 & 13's little college fund. That would be awesome!
Now I'm going to share a few more of the awesome bloggers that I've got the pleasure of collaborating with in I Just Want to Pee Alone.
Insane in the Mom-Brain shares with us the Chick Fil-A Bathroom Incident of '07. I have to admit, it's gross but she had me at REDRUM.
Amy of Amy's Real Life shares her story of being a juror on a murder trial in Juror Number Me. It's a 3 part blog that will have you on the edge of your seat.
Next up, Nurse Mommy Laughs pens a Christmas Sonnet to my Trash Man. I only wish I was her neighbor to witness her chasing the trash truck.
And finally for today, I give you Kim at Let Me Start By Saying with this awesome piece, What Parents Say, What Parents Mean. I am FOREVER telling my girls, "Don't listen to what I say, listen to what I mean!!" And she gets it.
Go, read, enjoy and stay tuned for the new book which is due out very very soon!!!! And don't forget, for all your Amazon shopping needs, click that link please. 15 & 13's future depends on this. They're already practicing their very best "did you want fries with that?" speech.

Who are you? Who, who? Who, who?
So both Joy at Evil Joy and Stef at Mom-spirational have tagged me in a
little thing that’s been making its way around the blogosphere called: “Who the Hell Are You?” It’s this game that
helps us get to know one another. My mission,
should I choose to accept it, is to answer 25 easy questions – then tag
people. I hate tagging people and making
them answer questions but the life of my washing machine depends on it. And I
don’t have any money for a new washer or a repairman, so I’m succumbing to peer
pressure and tagging some folks. But first the answers to the questions from
yours truly:
1. Where were you
born? Methodist Hospital, South
Philadelphia
2. Were you named
after someone? St. Theresa the Little
Flower (shut up). I was actually almost named Maureen but it didn’t really flow
with my maiden name so they opted to name me after a saint (again, shut up)
3. How many
children do you have? 2 daughters:
Damian and Satan.
4. How many pets
do you have? 2 dogs, Henry and Cosmo and
1 cat, Cinnamon (Dumbass)
5. Your worst
injury? Since I’m so graceful, there
have been many. I broke my littlest piggy toe the night before a trip to
Hershey Park so walking from one end of the park to the other with my in-laws
was nothing short of a little slice of heaven. I’ve also pulled my back muscles
out a few times, and I once had an ear infection where the pain rivaled the
scene in Indiana Jones where they pull the guys heart out of his chest
6. Do you have a
special talent? Not sure if it’s a
talent but I love to bake and I’m a baking maniac every Christmas
7. Favorite thing
to bake? Pear custard bars because everyone for whom I’ve ever made them
absolutely raves about them. (see #6)
8. Favorite Fast
Food? Diary Queen French Silk Pie blizzard with twist ice cream (if you want to
get specific)
9. Would you
bungee jump? Hell to the NO. But I would skydive. Go figure.
10. What is the
first thing you notice about people? Usually
their eyes. Especially if they’re crossed
11. When was the
last time you cried? This morning when I
saw this video:
Video courtesy of YouTube
12. Any current
worries? Always worry about money, my girls, if I’m a good enough mom, if I’ll
ever lose weight, and my biggest worry is about my mom’s declining health.
13. Name 3 drinks
you drink regularly. Water, coffee, wine
(not necessarily in that order)
14. What’s your
favorite book? The Talisman –
Stephen King & Peter Straub
15. Would you like
to be a pirate? No because I sound ridiculous whenever I say ‘arrrrgh’ plus I
look ridiculous in an eye patch and am allergic to parrots
16. Favorite
Smells? A real old fashioned bakery that makes cookies and cakes
17. Why do you
blog? Because I can. I enjoy making
people laugh and if by blogging I get to do that, then that is icing on my
cake!
18. What song do you want played at your funeral? Picasso’s Last Words (Drink to Me) by Paul
McCartney
19. What is your
least favorite thing about yourself? Being short. If I was about 5’6” I’d be so
much better proportioned, but being 5’1” my proportions are that of a member of
the Lollipop Guild
20. Favorite
hobby? I absolutely love reading books but sadly I almost never have the time
to do that anymore. Not a big fan of reading on a Nook or a Kindle but I
supposed I should start getting used to it.
21. Name Something
you’ve done, you never thought you would do?
Run marathons
22. What do you
look for in a friend? A sense of humor.
If you are my friend then you have the ability to find humor in all
different situations.
23. Favorite Fun
things to do? Family nights with my
crew, we do a lot of family movie nights and I love that. Also love running
with my 15 year old.
And now for those I'm tagging:
Gina Valley
Motherhood: A Descent into Madness
YOU'RE IT!!! Tell us WHO ARE YOU?!?!
24. Pet peeves? Liars, phony people, muddy, dirty dogs on my
clean floor (ok my floors are never clean, quite possibly because I’ve got
muddy, dirty dogs
25. What’s the
last thing that made you laugh? Talking to Holly Frye on the phone a little while ago. Holly always makes me laugh.
And now for those I'm tagging:
