Okay, so I am guest blogging at McMommy's tomorrow, while she channels Donna Reed to host her in laws (at her house for a 5 days...she is brave...maybe not military-in-Afghanistan-brave but definitely around the stick-your-hand-in-the-dark-sewer-hole kind of brave...you know, like when your dad would go and fetch the 18 balls that would roll down the street drain-so brave).
I am nervous about this blogging adventure...I'm also flattered and stunned that someone would trust THEIR blog to ME?!?! Wow, I mean I try to be mildly entertaining and funny on my blog for my three loyal lovely readers, but if I screw up here...I know you three aren't going anywhere. I know where you live!!!
No, seriously, my fragile blog-ego is easily crushed if I don't have comments and high tracker ratings. I try to be cool and just say, "oh whatever I don't do this blog for other people!" WHATEVER! I totally do it to connect with other people. If I wanted to do something just for me I would eat a big bowl of warm Rice Krispie treats and read another book...okay, I do that anyways.
So here is the pressure: WHAT IF MY POST ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR MCMOMMY'S HIGH STANDARDS!?!? I don't think I can pad it with silly graphics or pictures of my toes like I would over here....I have to actually write cohesive thoughts otherwise McMommy might disown me. And I don't think I can handle that.
THE PRESSURE!!!!!!
No ::soothing breath:: I'll just have to suck it up and write it...and write it well damnit. Wish me luck.
Checking in 06.02.08
The Good: Didn't eat everything in front of me this weekend and ate a LOT of fruits and veggies. Went to my favorite restaurant up here, Cracker Barrel (the closest thing I can get to southern food), and didn't eat anything. I knew that even the green beans were going to be more points than I could handle and eating one thing would lead to the delicious corn bread and biscuits and that would be the end of me).
The Bad: I dipped into my flex points big time with my booze consumption. Stupid Margaritas! Why are you so delicious?
The Sweaty: I have started walking to home at lunch instead of driving (about a mile and a half each way). Yeah it is sweaty and not fun but that is some base movement throughout the day.

I'm a new mom following my husband on his crazy adventures. I love the South and never wanted to leave. These are my tales about my adventures of trying to fit into the world with no Chick-fil-a.
The Hubs, Kdubs
He is a recently minted lawyer and dad (within about 10 days of each other). He is a self-acknowledged work-a-holic with stir crazy tendencies. (This is why we are nomadic, people!) He is quiet and shy with everyone but me. I can't seem to get him to shut up!

Alex, this post had me laughing so hard...you could use IT for tomorrow's guest post!!!! You may be nervous...I, on the other hand, am so NOT nervous....because you are one of the best bloggers out there! The McFans are going to be screaming "More! More!"

Nice job on the walking.

Oh the pressure! You will be great. I am a newbie to your blog but am enjoying it so much! I feel ya on the whole diet thing. I too am attempting to lose weight..blah! Anyways good luck tomorrow!
Ha!
You're such a good writer, you could write about menstrual cramps, and it would make me want to have them.
Okay. Maybe not menstrual cramps. But I still have a point! Promise to blog again, soon. I have drafts in the pipeline, just can't seem to finish a single thought!
just came back by to wish you luck!!

I'm so looking forward to your post. It's 8 AM and I'm already refreshing McMommy's blog every 5 minutes. Sad? Yes, I know. It only proves that I got nothin' but love for ya though.
P.S. Love, love, love the Shopaholic Series. Read them all in just a few weeks. When you're finished with Sophie, pick up some Marian Keyes. Any one will do. She's an amazing chic lit author.
Just read your post over at Mc Mommy's blog and just had to let you know you did a fabulous job!
Loved your post and I've already added you to my "Favorite's List" of blogs. Now you'll have 4 readers! ;)
