PARTY!!!



It's here, the 5 minutes for Mom blog party. And I am sooo excited, no one likes a good party like me. Just in time for the party, I have updated my about me page to include 20 things (instead of 100 things).

So pour yourself whatever kind of beverage you would like, grab some snacks and stay a while.

Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I'm Jodi, mom to Michael (almost two), wife to Doug (35, if it matters), owner of Foster (6, and a dog), and part-time attorney in child abuse. And this is my party site. I love wine, musicals, knitting, reading, and bad tv.

If you are joining me for the first time through the party site, thanks for coming and I'm so glad you stopped by. If you are one of my "regulars," pull up a chair and kick your shoes off. We are casual around here.

So, what is this blog party thingie? An excuse to mingle, meet other bloggers, WIN PRIZES, and have fun. Here's the point, go here and sign the Mr. Linky. Once you are signed in, and write a blog post inviting others to the party, you are eligible to win very cool prizes. I have entered these, hand knitted by little ole' me, I promise, and they are almost done. I will post a picture as soon as they are.

Don't just sit in the corner sipping your drink. Leave a comment here, go visit the links, and meet some new bloggers.

And don't forget to PARTY ALL THE TIME, PARTY ALL THE TIME, PARTY ALL THE TIME.

Thanks for the great welcome! And I'm so glad you're "casual" around here. We just had 20 inches of snow in the last 24 hours and we are housebound! My 9th grade son is blissfully sleeping in on this school-closed day...and I am party hopping in my robe and p.j.'s! But should you "hop" on over to my party....there will be no photos of this early morning "hop!" I'm casual too...but not crazy! So hop on over when you get the chance!

Have a great week.

Ah. Sip. Swallow. Sip.

Playfully play with wine charm in my fingers while I comment the following:

Good ole Eddy Murphy. To quote him: "My girl wants to party all the time."

And he still didn't win the Oscar.
(He didn't right?)

Coyly re-position falling strap of party dress.

My girl wants to party all the time, party all the time, party all the ti-me! That was the first thing I thought of when I came here! Too funny - great party!

Jessica said...

Great to meet you! Hope you have a great party! I enjoyed my time here! I hope to return soon!

Slackermommy said...

Well hello there. Thanks for visiting my little corner of my world. Always happy to have visitors.

Off to another party but I enjoyed the drinks.

Come back to see me.

Kailani said...

Love that Eddie Murphy song! Thanks for the invitation!

Just making the party rounds and wanted to stop by and say hi.

I'll be back again during the week.

When you get a chance, stop by and check out the book giveaway!

Saw you stopped by my party and wanted to come by and say Hello!

Great place you have here. Funny your family and friends don't know about it. I forget my mom reads mine and it bites me every now and then.

redmaryjanes said...

You have a great party house!! Glad you dropped in!!

Lynne said...

Hi - thanks for coming to my pajama party. Yes, it was a scene from Grease. My family doesn't know about my blog either - I'm sure they'd be upset. Oh well!

jewlsntexas said...

Oh my! That video was a flashback! hee hee - you just dated yourself - and I'm right there with you.
Thanks for stopping by - :)
Good to get to know some new friends!

Damselfly said...

Ribbon Rock Star said...

Perky said...

Thanks for stopping by my site! Sounds like we have a lot in common -- I'm Jewish, RockStar isn't, I'm an attorney (well, technically) and I have a dog, too! That's a few connections! I'll be back to check your blog out more fully when I'm actually awake sometime! Have a great weekend and enjoy the Blog Party!

Perky said...

Oh yeah, I LOVE showtunes, too!

Jodi said...

Thanks for stopping by! I am always happy to see another "Jodi", most of the ones I meet are always spelled with a "y". I see you are a knitter too ~ cool! Those are some really cool pedi socks! I need to see if I can find a pattern...

Have a great week!!

Bekah said...

Thanks for dropping by my site. It's great to meet you. I loved reading the 20 things about you. Have a great week partying and I hope to see you around soon.

Jay :)
P.s. I think Australia is great, I hope you get the chance to come and explore it one day!

Jen and family said...

Hi Jodi nice to meet you
"PARTY ALL THE TIME, PARTY ALL THE TIME, PARTY ALL THE TIME." I was dancing in my seat :)
come over and say hi to me at http://jenz.wordpress.com/

Phara Thomas said...

It's good to know I'm not the only one who can't read or watch t.v. and knit at the same time. I seriously think some of these people who have been knitting a long time could do it with one hand. It's disgusting. Love your profile.

Big Mama said...

Nothing like a little vintage Eddie Murphy to get in the party mood.

Karla said...

Just cruising the party blogs to say hello. Nice to meet you!

Multi-tasking Mommy said...

Nice to meet you!

Oh, I love my red wine.

Glad I came by your place.

CharmingBitch pointed me your way, she says you're "tops". That's good enough for me! I'll be checking back in with you again!

Swinging in for the party....

Great blog.

PARTY ON

Heidi said...

Great party!!! Thanks for the song...took me back!!!

Thanks for visiting my party!!!!

amaras_mom said...

I loved your 20 things! Thanks for visiting my site and thanks for having me over for the party! You lucky girl -- skiing! But I guess I can't complain...my toddler and I just got into Hawaii!

Janice (5 Minutes for Mom) said...

SOOOOO sweet that you included Eddie's Party All the Time! What a classic!!!!

I enjoyed learning about you in the 20 things about you.

When my son was young - until he was three - I considered only having him. It was very frustrating that everyone bugged me about it. I finally gave in (my son and husband were desperate for another) and started trying to have another when he was three. It has been two difficult years of trying, but I am now early in a pregnancy. Lets hope this one sticks! But good for you for doing what you feel is best for you and your family!!!!

So nice to meet you and thanks for a great party! :)

Susan said...

I love your party!! I also love musicals. My DH took me to NYC at Christmas and surprised me with three of them including WICKED...which was absolutely amazing. Come on by my party when you can. I hope to get back soon.

:-) Susan

Kelly said...

I love hand-knitted socks. My mom made me a pair a few years ago, and now every Christmas I ask for more. I think whoever wins these is going to love them!

Have fun at all of the parties!

Adam said...

Hi, this is Adam from the All Things Film blog. Thanks for stopping by my party. Hope you're having fun!

Mama C said...

Thanks for stopping by my blog and inviting me to your party. I'm enjoying a little quiet from my two young ones (ages 2 and 4). One has been sick all day, so this is a nice respite.

Loved the video!

Mama C said...

I too love cooking and hate the clean up. My house is in a constant state of chaos.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Mayhem & Miracles said...

I'm not sure why you're family wouldn't like you blogging, but I've sure enjoyed reading your blog. Especially about the little guy. I know that feeling of it hurting just a little to have to watch them grow up. Hope ya'll have a great Birthday party. Thanks for letting me come over.

Shalee said...

I love wine and reading as well, but not the bad tv. It just takes away from that beloved reading time...

Thanks for being such a warm and inviting host.

Nise' said...

Nice to meet you! I just started blogging and haven't told my family yet except my daughter.

Barbara H. said...

I am slowly making my way around the blog party circuit. It's nice to meet you! I love to read, too, but I don't know how to knit. I'm not fond of cleaning -- or cooking, really, but since we can't eat out all the time or hire a cook, I gotta do it. :)

Since my blog party post has gotten pushed back off the first page and my host won't allow a "stick post," I'll post the link to my blog party here. Hope you can stop by!

Brandie said...

Hello and it's so nice to meet you! I enjoyed your list of 20 things about you ... I think half of them I could put on my list =)
Have a great day and enjoy the party ... mine is over here

Melissa said...

Hello!! Just stopping in from the Ultimate Party. Glad to "meet" you! :)
