Downtown with the Rocket City Bloggers

I was very happy to join up with the Rocket City Bloggers. Events like this:

give me an opportunity to socialize with them and hopefully get to know my fellow bloggers better. Though the group regularly has monthly get-togethers, I can’t make those and becoming more involved is a priority for me.

But – you don’t have to be a blogger to come to this event. If your business could benefit from the exposure of a blogger, come and meet real-life bloggers. If your business needs a writer, hey, we LOVE to write. If your attraction needs testimonials, we go and do things. You get the idea.

If you want to learn how to blog, we would love to meet you. You will be in a room full of people who blog across many different platforms and someone will be at your level, I guarantee. I mean, I started out with nothing more than a copy of “Mom Blogging for Dummies” and though I’m far from greatness, I consider myself a blogger and I can only improve from here.

Also – free food and exclusive beer tasting. I’ll talk beer with anybody! Beer is a great way to make friends!

Also, also – get to see the inside of the AL.com building. It’s stunning and worth the peek inside.

So join me Thursday, Jan. 16 from 5:30 – 7:30 and let’s make some new BFF’s! Okay, at the very least we’ll make a few good acquaintances.

See you there!

PS – Ray’s not real, but what if he was. Find out what happens to Ray in our serialized short story “The Man Named Ray Leyden“.

Yeah You Know Me!

I’m downtown with RCB. Are you?

Week 27 Challenge – In Which I Bullet List What Happened Between Week 18 & Now

Week 27 of the Rocket City Bloggers Year Long Blogging Challenge and I have been the fail. School started, stuff happened and I have forgotten to write.

Question: What is your pet peeve?

Answer: Right now it’s me. One who can’t finish what she started. Story of my life. Though in all honesty, I have so many pet peeves that I’m peeved I can’t think of one at the moment.

Let me distract you with one of my famous bullet lists! Here’s a peek at what I’ve been up to for the past 9 weeks:

• Took week off and completed home improvement project. Including Pinterest-found installation (which I will blog about).
• With oldest son in public school,morning routine has been redesigned and condensed down to 30 minutes.
  

  Me!

• Oldest son started playing soccer.
• Youngest son started getting up at 5 am every morning.
• Celebrated 9-year wedding anniversary.
• Took our first family camping trip.
• Worked, worked and more work to do.
• Met and agreed to get a new cat. News to everyone but me, because I knew as soon as I met him that he was mine!
  

  The cat!

• Worked on coming to terms with turning 40.
• Made an appointment to get new tattoos.
• Consumed massive amounts of candy corn.
• Sadness in death of an acquaintance. A wonderful person gone too soon.
• Lots of feels for lots of different reasons….it’s been a long couple of months!

There. In 200 words I’ve admitted failure, distracted you with magic dots and deceptively rejoined the challenge game. Thank you for your time.
