Zen Mom

I just the “Are You a Slacker Mom?” quiz.

I guess I am a Zen mom. Here’s what it said: ‘How do you do it? Even when explosions are all around, you are able to take a deep cleansing breath and change your mantra “this too shall pass.” You are a calming influence on your kids in a hectic world.”

Ummm, if you know me this is sooo not me. I freak first. Its my hubby’s biggest pet peeve about me. I freak, then survey the situation, and then act calmly. I can’t help it. Just the way I am.

Guess What!!!!

Bill just won 2 Chicago Cubs tickets in the luxury boxes for Sunday!! Woo hoo. He also won a digital camera and NASCAR tickets. About a month ago, he filled out an entry at Office Depot and he got a call today!! Its worth about $750. Wooooooooo Hooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!

Check This Out!!!!

The Extreme Diet Coke & Mentos Experiments:
What happens when you combine 200 liters of Diet Coke and over 500 Mentos mints? It’s amazing and completely insane.

The first part of this video demonstrates a simple geyser, and the second part shows just how extreme it can get. Over one hundred jets of soda fly into the air in less than three minutes.

It’s a hysterical and spectacular mint-powered version of the Bellagio Fountains in Las Vegas, brought to you by the mad scientists at EepyBird.com.

Are You Addicted To Blogging?

I can’t take credit for this. I found it over on another blog that has since gone down. However, it is still really funny.

10. You check your blog stats a LOT. You occasionally get up in the middle of the night and sneak a peak.

9. Your significant other suspects you are having an affair with your blog. Even when you’re alone with your special person, you do find yourself thinking what your blog might be doing right then…

8. You “mental blog” while driving or on the train, and sometimes even when you are alone in the shower.

7. You filter everything through your post-writing. You can’t watch a movie, see a play, read an article, or share a sweet moment with your child without thinking of whether it’s blog-worthy.

6. You suffer from “blog envy” when another blogger posts something juicy before you do. You suffer “comment envy” when said post gets 40-something comments – the jerk!

5. You “binge blog” 3 or 4 posts at once—only to feel guilty and empty afterward.

4. You ditched all your real friends for blog friends, because, well, “they understand.” You bypass Bowling Alone at the bookstore (who really cares?) while you reach for Naked Conversations.

3. You think, “I can stop at any time.”

2. Your lunch hour has become your “blog hour.” You keep a few posts tucked in your desk in case you need them during the day.

1. After 5 minutes of meeting someone really interesting you ask, “So - do you blog?”

Hi, my name is Lisa and I am a bloggaholic.  How about you?
