Holy Cow! I'm a blogger!

A good friend of mine started a blog (see http://amishcowpeople.blogspot.com/ ) just the other day so I thought I too could start one myself. I'm not sure, really, what I'm getting myself into with this but it looks like fun so here we go...

I've called my blog, The B-Word Blog because I seem to have so many b-words in my life. Most importantly, I'm a mom of three boys...ages 9, 7 and 3. They are the heart and soul of my life although on some days I wonder if they are the bane of my existence. I own two birds....a blue and gold macaw named Tango and a cockatiel named Bella. I am an avid book reader...I love reading romantic suspense, contemporary romance and historical romance. I feel I have a very blessed life. Religion has become a large part of my life again after a hiatus in my late teens and 20's. On another note, I'm also blonde and admittedly have caught myself in many "blonde moments" throughout my life. I must say also that I do love a good blonde joke! But aside from my "blonde moments", I do have a brain and I know how to use it! And now I can add another b-word to my life...blogger!!!

Anyway...maybe some of you have come to this blog thinking of another b-word. I do admit to being one on some occasions :) Some of you may call me that wonderful b-word if, for example, you don't like my politics. I can be outspoken on political matters from time to time but I do try to be fair and give credit where credit is due (which isn't very often lately).

More tidbits about me...I grew up in California, just about 30 miles or so South of San Francisco on the peninsula. I remained in California until 6 weeks after giving birth to son #2. At that time, my husband (we have been married 11.5 years now:)) got a new job in Virginia so we packed the kids, the dogs, the cats and the house (this was before birds) and moved cross-country to a state I had never visited before. I wasn't allowed to even come here to house hunt because I was in my third trimester of my pregnancy during my husbands' interviews so I moved here blind! But no regrets! We are all very happy here in Virginia!

Aside from the boys and the birds, we have two Dalmatians, three cats, two hamsters, four fire-belly toads, and a large (120-gallon) fresh water fish tank with numerous fish. Am I leaving anyone or anything out??? Nope..I think that is it. LOL!

So enough for now. I have to go get the boys ready to visit the pumpkin patch which they have been waiting to do for weeks now. Thanks for visiting:)
