Seven Days Seven Answers

You all know how I love me some giveaway action. I also love to write (it's the equivalent of people who love to hear themselves talk, but I don't care for the sound of my voice). Since I'm not one of those creative types, it's helpful - and lots of fun - to be prodded into thought. I've run across a few interesting sites that provide fantastic (and, at times, crazy) prompts. While I'm better at winning random drawings than anything requiring skill, it's extra fun to know that my work could possibly be chosen as a favorite for the day, too.

My friend Cate is running a super-cool site called Seven Days Seven Answers. It's a prompt, it's a game, it's a contest... it's a whole lot of fun. (I'm totally not just saying that because I've earned a couple of her coveted winner buttons. I might be cruising for a few more, though, so Cate, feel free to take my kind words under consideration when you're choosing your favorites).

Get in while it's new, people. This site will be booming when everyone catches wind of it, and it'll just be that much harder to win!

She's also hosting her first ever giveaway (Did you know I love giveaways?), a $20 GC to Amazon.com HERE. Go forth, write, have fun and good luck!

Profile of a Superhero

Super-name: Mommymommymommymommymommymommymommymommy. (You can just call me Mommy.)

Super powers: Child wrangling; stain removing; tantrum prevention; crayon confiscating; and of course, hiding an extra set of eyes in the back of my head. I have also recently perfected "THE LOOK" with my front eyes.

Hobbies: I enjoy running cartoon interference and playing the 'nighty-night' game.

Annoying habits: I often find myself "Sshh-ing" when no one is around. This might be annoying if anyone actually were around, but I am a superhero here, so annoying habits are off the table.

Alter-ego: Make-up wearing sophisticate who can always find clean clothes and a nice pair of heels. The original prototype for this woman was 30 pounds lighter, but has unfortunately been forced to pack on weight for a more realistic disguise. She also never EVER wears furry houseshoes outside, nor does she still secretly wear maternity underwear 4 years after giving birth. There is never spit-up on her shirts and her socks always match. She does not forget to wear a bra on occasion and always remembers to shave her legs. Her hair has zero rat nests and she doesn't even own a hair-tie.

Catch-phrase: "It's pony-tail time!" This is derived from numerous attempts at letting my hair down, only to be called back to duty by an unruly child or contaminated toilet.
