Ultimate Blog Party 2008 -- Welcome!

Ultimate Blog Party 2008

It's the Ultimate Blog Party 2008! I met some great bloggers during last year's party and I am looking forward to meeting more this year!

So, a little something about me.

I am a late 20-something mom to a fabulous 2 year old boy, Hoss. I work a full time job outside the home. This can cause some busy days, thus the reason why it's 11p.m. at night and I am just now getting my post ready for the Ultimate Blog Party!

I am also married to a wonderful man, Donnie. We have been married for 3 years. I'll do the math for you. Hoss was born exactly 10 months and one day after our wedding day. Needless to say he was quite the surprise, but a happy one!

I have been blogging for a little over a year. I began blogging just because I knew I could. Really I had no agenda, but wanted to be a part of the blogging community I had been reading for several months. And I have no regrets. The bloggy mom community is wonderful. I have learned so much from experienced mothers and I have enjoyed the internet friendships I have developed.

In my spare time (ha! ha!), I enjoy focusing on my number one hobby, coupon clipping! Yes, it is my hobby, I love it! I get so excited about saving money. I am working toward being frugal and paying off debt. It's a long road, but we are trying to focus on it a little more everyday.

I hope you get a chance to look around here at "Don't Give Him Crackers!" If you are wondering about the title of this blog, read this! And if you need a laugh check this out. I tried to straighten up the blog for you guys, but I had to do it quickly!

Thanks for visiting! I hope you stick around. I can't wait to meet you all!

Oh, and if I get lucky enough to win a prize, I'd like any of the following: #93, 1, 28, 64, 59, 60.

I Love coupon clipping. Do you play the grocery game. I did before I found blogging. LOL now that takes up all my time.

Just droppin' by the party to say hi. I love to clip coupons too. I just wish that my coupon book wasn't always at home when I need it!

Stop by my place. There's still a few days left to enter my contest!

BTW, great story on how you got your blog name!

I talk in my sleep, too! My famous line is "Do you know what that means....? The Bible!" and also, "No, I don't want to go on the ferris wheel." Totally random and unintelligible, I know.

I am so glad to have met a fellow somniloquist! :)

Thanks for being such a gracious hostess!

Hi. I stopped by from the party. It's not easy raising a child and working full time but it seems you have kept your sense of humor about you.

I hope you have fun visiting all the parties.

I am also a working mom of a 2yo.... and an 11yo and a 13yo. The older kiddos are great with the little one, so that is a blessing.

Read your post about your title. My husband talks in his sleep like that. He has also been known to actually physically act out his dreams. I woke up one night to find him trying to move the bed because he was dreaming we got a new bed and he was trying to move the old one out of the way. It was weird at first, but now I just put a pillow over my head and go back to sleep.

Like the unique name of your blog and why you decided on that name. You must have freaked your hubby out the first time you sat up in bed and talked in your sleep!

Visit my party!

I always wondered about your blog title!

I've been away from blogland for awhile. I had no idea it was the ultimate blog party again! I think that's how I found you last year...
