Party on Garth!

Welcome party guests! Come on in and make yourselves comfortable. Thanks for coming! Can I get you a drink? I have some lovely Sangria along with a variety of Northwest microbrews. Or perhaps you'd like a glass of iced tea? Whatever you'd like. Help yourself. There's lots of snackies too. Grab some and make yourself comfortable.

Let me tell you a little about myself, since we've just met. My name is Kate - howdy. I have two little children that live in my house, Sam & Zoë. Sometimes I look at them and think "Where'd they come from?" but then they holler "Maaawwwmmm!" and I remember. I'm mainly a stay at home mom but I also work part-time in the evenings at our local hospital. Wouldn't trade it for the world. The part-time job yes, the kids no. I have a terrific hubby too, Josh. He puts up with me and my craziness and has for almost 10 years. Amazing man, he is.

I've recently discovered this crazy blogging world and am having a blast! It's HUGE! Every day I discover something new (like this Blog Party) and am amazed at all there is to see and learn. I'm almost scared to keep clicking for I always find something new and fun to read or participate in and my house is seriously suffering. Mt. Washmore is threatening to erupt again and I'm sure I could make a nutritious and satisfying dinner out of what is on my kitchen floor, if only I'd sweep. Actually that might solve my "what's for dinner" dilemma...

My life is pretty crazy sometimes, but I'm not sure if it's just my quirky crazy take on it, or if it truly is just insane. I'm sure there's some legitimate insanity in there - after all, I have two small kids, one of which is an extremely busy crazy son. But at least he's quit doing things like peeing in the heater vent or the cat box. Although I did catch him with his pants down outside yesterday.... Hmmm. Maybe not as much progress as I thought.

Anyway, hope you'll stick around for awhile. I love having company, but I must warn you. I'll thrust food and baked goods at you and probably talk your ear off. If you can deal with that, then we can be friends.

Leave me a note letting me know you stopped by and your address so I can pay you a visit too! Now, if you'll excuse me I'll go turn up the music a bit and we'll get this party started.
