Twitter Tag: You're It!

Do you Twitter? If you don't, you should! But I warn you - it can be addicting - even moreso now that I can fire up TwitterBerry and tweet 'on the go'. Fun stuff.

I was recently tagged with a Twitter Tag Meme by Rachel_L over at Following in My Shoes blog. So, now its my turn to share 6 things that no one knows about me on my blog. This shouldn't be so hard because I blog mostly about my kids and rarely about me. Except, when I try to think about things I kept coming up with things from the Six Unspectacular Quirks blog meme. Apparently, I'm pretty tame and its a good thing my kids are so darn cute and incredibly amusing or I would have nothing to blog about.

Here I go, digging deep to come up with 6 things about myself - are you ready?

1) Even though I am HelloKittieMama (and yes, I know it is spelled wrong.. its on purpose), my first "love" is Ariel the Little Mermaid. I used to be a big Ariel collector and when the Little Mermaid was re-released to the big screen I was interviewed by the newspaper with my collection. I was 25 at the time and a newlywed, and concerned about things like Little Mermaid shower curtains - that was a long time ago. Still, I'm very thrilled that my daughter will be Arielthis year for Halloween.

2)I love Vampires, Werewolves and all that. Yes - thanks to Ajsmommy408 I'm reading the Twilight books. But, the one who did it first, and best is my favorite author - Laurell K. Hamilton. If you like Twilight but want something spicier, you must check out Laurell K. Hamilton and read her series of Anita Blake Vampire Hunter books.

3)I had a pet iguana when I was in college. He, who later turned out to be a she, lived well beyond College and eventually lived in a big cage that was like 5 feet high and took up the entire closet of our townhouse when we were newlyweds. She eventually passed on to the great big kale leaf in the sky. Maybe this is why I'm not 'afraid' of my sons pet hermit crabs even if one did pinch the heck out of my fingertip once.

4)Ok Ok.. this one may get me in trouble. My blog name The Bon Bon Gazette has to do with stay at home moms sitting on their @sses eating bon bons and watching soaps and how my life debunks that myth. I do watch a soap but not at its 1pm air time, that conflicts with me getting home from preschool pickup and getting my son off of the school bus. I started watching Days of Our Lives when I was in high school, stopped when I was in college, picked it back up again after I graduated. I've watched it on and off for probably 20 years now. I hadn't watched it for a good 7 years and then I got a notifcation that they were going to have a child diagnosed with Autism on the show. So in late June I started watching it again. The problem is that it is low on my priority list compared to my other Reality TV show addiction, so the episodes pile up in the DVR. I'm currently working on July episodes and watch them late at night mostly. Yes, it is October and I'm watching July - I'll catch up in 2009 at this rate!

5) My childhood heroine was Wonder Woman. I remember watching Linda Carter on TV and telling my mother that I wanted that 'golden booby holder!" I think I was about 4 at the time.

6) I'm afraid of clowns. My husband loves to torment me with this one any chance he can get. Still, even though clowns give me the shakes and nightmares - I hired a clown for my son's birthday party last year. My son loves Loon.E the clown and she was a huge hit with all the kids at the party. And now, I can safely say I'm not afraid of all clowns - just most of them. But not Loon.E - she's got a heart of gold and can usually be found at events catering to special needs children. Check her out in this video from the POAC Walk-A-Thon, that's Alex in his Camp Bridge shirt by the way (around the 3 min mark). Loon.E rocks!
