- Every thing clean and shiny...check.
- Dirty laundry hidden...check.
- Lipstick wiped off milk jug...check.
- "Pseudo" step-kids washed and threatened to be polite or else...check.
- Trip to the liquor store...double check.
The BF fixing things. |
I want to invite you to make yourself comfortable and enjoy a cookie and a cocktail...may I suggest my signature drink The Sweet MJ (I even make an alcohol free version if you prefer).
Really quick a little bit about myself. I am in my late 30s (when did that happen), I live with my BF, his 2 kids (my "psedeo" step-kids) 3 dogs and a cat. I started blogging in 2010 to share my mad cap adventures with friends and family. Soon I started blogging about my bizarre thoughts and about my relationship with The BF and family. Please don't take anything I write too serious; I am mostly tongue in cheek and I am always looking for the humor in everything. After all, if you can't laugh at your self you can't laugh with others.
If you are like me and live to read books please check out my second blog: A Girl Named Michael Reads a Book.
I hope you have a nice time here today. Please feel free to look around and tell me about yourself.
Are you asking yourself what is SITS? Well let me invite you to check out this awesome blogging community boosting 15,000 women bloggers that believes the Secret to Successes is Support.
To be honest they are so much more than just a community. They really want to help you to be the kind of blogger you want to be and offer support regardless if you are a brand new blogger or a veteran blogger.
They offer forums, free online classes, tips to making your blog and a Blogging Boot Camp (which is the only thing I haven't done but I am hoping to one day)
Please check them out at The SITS Girls.
Congrats on your SITs day!
ReplyDeleteThank you...I am on a blogging high.
DeleteSo, exactly how does one come up with a signature cocktail? I am thinking that's something I need....
ReplyDeleteOff to read about it now!
Tiffany
Its very easy you buy your favorite liquor and mixers and experiment until you have a combination that you like.
DeleteThanks for stopping by.
Happy SITS Day! Congratulations!!! Enjoy the attention, comments, and traffic. Since we're already blog buddies, I've been reading your blog for a bit, but looking forward to continuing to get to know you.
ReplyDeleteHey Deanna. Thanks for making this day special.
DeleteHello SITS SISTA! This is great! It made me laugh, and I absolutely LOVE the background painting.
ReplyDeleteXo

"The Write Teacher"
Thanks Megan. I am glad you had a nice time "visiting". I am excited to meet so many new people.
DeleteHappy SITS day for yesterday...I'm checking out your other posts and loving your style, MJ.
ReplyDeleteThanks you Corinne!!!!
DeleteHi MJ! Happy SITS day, girlie! It's so good to know that you too hide your laundry for guests...I do it all the time! :) Off to read some more and check out your book blog!
ReplyDeleteGin I am going to be doing a weekly link up soon on the book blog and asking for guest bloggers to post their book reviews or commentary on books. hint hint
DeleteHappy SITS Day, MJ! Now, I'd like a non-alcoholic cocktail if you don't mind :)
ReplyDeleteAlison I have found that if you had 7up to some drink mixes instead of alcohol you still get a pretty good drink.
DeleteHappy SITS Day! Gotta love a girl who hides the dirty laundry. I actually have none right now... I did 5 loads yesterday and actually got them all folded and put away along with the 5 loads I'd done throughout the week that were sitting in a wrinkled heap in the corner of the living room... it was a Sunday night miracle!
ReplyDeleteSince you are on a roll please come over to my house and help me do all of my laundry.
DeleteWay to go on your SITS day! Congrats! I love that you have a separate blog for your bog affair - I love to read too and spend way too much time (sometimes) wrapped up in books! Looking forward to reading more of your banter and enjoying some much needed laughter!
ReplyDeleteSarah thanks for stopping by...I am adding new feature to my book blog I hope you will be able to join in on it.
DeleteI can relate on having a different name...lol...although I'm sure you've had a lot more grief for it! ;)
ReplyDeleteGlad to find you and congrats on getting published on SITS! :)
Chantilly when I read your name I sing Chantilly lace and a pretty face. I am not sure how I know that song.
DeleteHappy SITS Day! I'd love a cocktail! Oh wait, it's not even 7 am here. I'll be back this afternoon!
ReplyDeleteIll save you a drink for you later
DeleteSaw you on SITS! I read "dating your friend's ex-husband" and I was hooked!
ReplyDeleteThank you. The best part is when she and I are together and someone asks how I meet The BF and I point at her and say I am dating her exhusband...the looks are priceless.
DeleteHi :) I actually really like your name for a girl :) Have SITS day!
ReplyDeleteIts had its moments growing up for years I made everyone call me by my middle name.
DeleteHi MJ,
ReplyDeleteHappy SITS day. My name's Lorna and I spent most of my life before I moved to Scotland saying, 'No, it's not Laura.' I understand some of your frustration!
And I'm also a bit like Seinfeld!
Lorna
Lorna is pretty. I have always wanted to visit Scotland.
DeleteHappy SITS day!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much.
DeleteLove your blog MJ! I'm enjoying reading already...
ReplyDeleteJamie thank you so much.
DeleteLove your blog! Funny!!! Happy SITS day!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rose...I figure everyone else is going to laugh I might as well also.
DeleteHappy SITS day. I plan to check out your blog when I have more time. It sounds like a fun life.
ReplyDeleteLIsaDay
Lisa its rarely dull.
DeleteWhat a cute post! Going to check out your others now. Happy SITS!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much...I am on cloud 10 or 11 today.
DeleteStopping by from SITS. Congrats on the guest post!
ReplyDeleteTere thanks for helping to make it a great day
DeleteHappy SITS Day MJ! Dude I totally get to say that I already KNOW YOU (virtutally of course!). Congrats on your day, babe!!
ReplyDeleteYeah you do...I have even guest posted on your blog..Im thinking we need to discuss you guest posting on mine.
DeleteCongrats on your SITS day! I grew up in a small town, and so I love reading blogs about them! (I'm in the 'burbs now.) Looking forward to getting to "know" you!
ReplyDeleteOnce upon a time I moved away to bigger cities but decided like Dorothy there is no place like home.
DeleteGreat feature in SITS! Very cute blog, I am enjoying reading it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by I am appreciating and enjoying all the blog love.
DeleteYour blog put a smile on my face. I grew up with three sisters Erin, Shannon and Kelly. I was always having to explain they were all girls and a brother Robin. Mine was the only name that was definitely girly. So your the second person I've heard of that is a girl named Michael. The first being the actress Michael Learned but I am not sure how she spells it.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your wonderful SITS Day! Have a blast :)
One of my sister's is named Jessi not Jessica just Jessi. And I love Michael Learned, the Waltons was a wonderful show.
DeleteHappy SITS Day! I'm going to check out your book blog!
ReplyDeleteThanks my book blog is all about the books I read and my obsession with books
DeleteLove, love, love your sense of humor! Happy SITS day!
ReplyDeleteThank you most days my sense of humor is very warped, dry and often goofy.
DeleteHappy SITS Day to you!
ReplyDeleteYou sound hilarious :) Love finding people who can make me giggle!
Its good to know that I am not the only one laughing!!
DeleteI'm so excited for you! Congrats and Happy SITS Day! XOXO
ReplyDeleteThanks Trinity...I am so glad you came by. You need to check out SITS they are so awesome.
DeleteI'm so excited for you! Congrats and Happy SITS Day! XOXO
ReplyDeleteHappy SITS Day, MJ! The background on your blog is lovely. And you don't have to worry about wiping th lipstick of the milk container just for us!
ReplyDeleteMy mom would be so upset if I didnt wipe the lipstick off the milk jug...of course she would be upset if she knew I drank from the milk jug but thats another issue.
DeleteHi Michael - and happy SITS Day! Fantastic blog - I will be following. And I'll be checking out your other blog too as I do indeed live to read books!
ReplyDeleteMaria xx

I love a girl who loves books. Thanks for stopping by both my blogs.
DeleteHey MJ,do you have any other drink recipes? Alcoholic ones and kid friendly ones. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI have a lot but no other signature drinks. My rule of thumb for nonalcoholic drinks is if its a fruity cocktail dont add alcohol just add 7up instead. But now I am thinking I need to create some more.
DeleteCongrats on your SITS day! You sound like lots of fun, I'm about to go check out your other entries!!

ReplyDeleteThank you that is so nice.
DeleteMJ- love the nickname, but your real name is beautiful too.
ReplyDeleteMy mama gave me a boys name too- Tracy- spelled with the masculine spelling, not the feminine.
Loved your intro to today!
Whats in the cocktail:)
(the alcoholic version, por favor)
Very nice to meet you- your newest follower.
Tracy
Its..
DeleteWhipped Vodka
Coconut Rum
Orange Juice
Pineapple juice
So glad you have a book recommendation blog, too--I'm always on the lookout for what to read next!
ReplyDeleteAnd oh boy, do I WISH I were at home with a cookie and a cocktail right now instead of at work with 100 hyper kids!!!
100 hyper kids!!!! I'll save you a cocktail for later.
DeleteWoo hoo, I know you're enjoying your SITS day MJ. So nice to meet you and I already love your blog. Happy Monday and a great SITS day.
ReplyDeleteSela I am having a great day. Thanks for helping to make it special.
DeleteA very happy SITS day to you! Hope you enjoy this day in the spotlight and love that you have your very own signature cocktail. Don't mind if I do :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, the title of your blog makes me think of the Johnny Cash song "A Boy Named Sue," which will likely be stuck in my head for the rest of the day.
Charlotte I embedded that song in my very first post...I have always related to it minus that bar fight and losing an ear.
DeleteWishing you a very HAPPY SITS DAY! Enjoy!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you April.

DeleteCongratulations on your SITS day! Thanks for reminding me not to take myself too seriously - it's one of my biggest faults and usually comes rearing its ugly head on Monday mornings especially :-)
ReplyDeleteLook forward to looking around some more and enjoying your tongue-in-cheek style!
Mondays are hard work...I am not always cheerful but even in my bad days I try to find the silver linings.
DeleteMy motto is always: "You have to laugh to keep from crying" Love your blog! Happy SITS Day!
ReplyDeleteI like that motto.
DeleteI love that your to do list includes the liquor store and hiding the laundry. Sounds like my house! Happy SITS day!
