In order to humbly accept this award, I must: Thank and link back to the person who gave me this award - Done Share seven things about myself - See below Pass the award along to 15 bloggers who I have recently discovered and think are fantastic for whatever reason! (In no particular order) - See below below Contact the bloggers I've picked and let them know about the award Things you may or may not know about me: 1) I cannot stand the sound of people whistling. 2) I was an extra in the HBO movie, Recount. 3) I do not like mushrooms, tomatoes, cantaloupe, peppers, mayonnaise ... okay, so I am a little picky. 4) I am left-handed, but I use scissors with my right hand. 5) I wore glasses from the age of 2 through 29.  When I was 29, I got LASIK.  For my wedding. 6) I've never lived anywhere other than where I live now. 7) I hate driving or riding with the windows rolled down in the car.

Happy Hump Day!

I'm thrilled to have so many new friends joining Mungee and Me.  I started the blog to chronicle my TTC journey and pregnancy, to keep track of Mungee's milestones and just share my thoughts in general about life as a mommy.  

It's so good to connect with those who are experiencing the journey of motherhood as well, whether they are in the same place as me or are a seasoned pro.  It helps me tremendously to know that I'm not alone, not the only one who feels elated, exhausted, guilty, giddy, worried and wishful.

Please let me know you stopped by.  And please leave a link for your blog.  Sometimes the links don't show up in your comment profile or Google Friend Connect and I can't find you (picture me with a sad face).

Hope to see you again soon!

Stop by here too:

B.Y.O.B. D-Listed Blog Party 2010

Welcome to Mungee and Me!  I'm very excited to be participating in the Bring Your Own Blog D-Listed Blog Party, hosted by D-Listed Mom Blogs.

I'm Mungee's Ma. I get sidetracked a lot.  Mungee's Pa and I made the decision that I would stay home with Mungee for her first year.  I thought I would become all domesticated during this time ... learn how to sew, have a hot dinner waiting for Mungee's Pa every night when he got home from work ... on what planet was I living?

If you like to see pictures of bare pregnant bellies, you will find almost 40 weeks worth of mine throughout the blog.  

Mungee doesn't like to take naps so I'm always really antsy when I blog because she could wake up at any moment - in fact, she just did.  That's why I have a stack of papers next to my laptop with half-baked blog post ideas that I never get to type up.  Unfortunately most of my ideas come to me when I'm showering and have nowhere to write them down.  If this happens to you too and you've found a solution to it, please kindly share your mojo.

Thanks for coming by!  I'd love to visit your blog too, so please let me know you were here.  And let me know if there's anything else you'd like to know about me.  I'm terrible at describing myself.

Must.Stay.Focu ....

I have blogger ADD.  See, I can't even finish the title of this post.

The scene:

• My office.
• Turn on the computer.
• Open Firefox.  Log in to Mungee and Me.  
• Tell myself I am going to write JUST ONE DAMN POST before I check email or read other blogs.
• Check to see if I have any new followers.  Ooo, there's ONE!  Go check out their blog.
• Open Internet Explorer to check Mungee and Me's email (it begins).  Why check email in a different browser?  Because like a fool, I set up this blog under my primary email, which has my name appended to it.  And I have Mungee and Me's email forwarded to this email address, but then if I reply to your email from it, you'll know my REAL NAME and I seek to remain MYSTEEEEERIOUS.
• See emails from blogs to which I've subscribed.  Posts look interesting.  Go read them.
• See emails for giveaways.  Spend way too much time on ridiculous entry methods, including visiting another blog to enter their giveaway in order to get an extra entry on original blog's giveaway.
• See guest posts.  Go read their blogs.
• See a catchy sidebar button.  Click.  Get redirected to an envy-inducing inspiring craft blog.
• Spend 10 minutes ruminating over the fact that I start super-cute DIY projects and don't finish them because I'm afraid one wrong move will ruin the whole thing.  Click red X Follow Me button.  Become a fan on Facebook.  Add to my page's favorites.
• Check my Facebook newsfeed. Look at new photos of friends' babies.  See updates about babies younger than Mungee who are already crawling.  Consider submitting to STFU, Parents. Realize that would be hypocritical.
• Log in to Twitter.  Check to see if anyone has mentioned me (nope, not so much).  Wonder how anyone can keep up.  Wonder how when someone replies to you, you know WTF they are replying to since the original tweet doesn't show up with their reply.
•  Look at clock - two hours have now gone by and I haven't even clicked "New Post" on Mungee and Me.

My ADD is also applicable to cleaning/decluttering my house, but that's a post for another day.

So what do you do to stay focused?  Do you have a system for writing blog posts/reading other blogs/commenting/participating in memes, etc?  Or do you just jump around haphazardly like me?
