I’ve had such an awesome day (no really, I’m serious!) and now I’m gonna party with all the other party people… Wanna join me? (we could even call it a date if you’d like… as long as you’re female, ’cause no boys are allowed at this party!) With this post I’m giving you my personal invitation to attend The Ultimate Blog Party 2008 hosted by 5 Minutes for Mom that began on March 7th and goes through the 14th.
To introduce myself (to those of you who don’t know me) I’m Krissi - Mom. Adoptive Parent. Girlfriend. Finance’. Friend. Ex-Wife. Daughter. Sister. College Student. Public Speaker. Advocate. PTA Member. BLOGGER. Living Related Donor Kidney Transplant Recipient. “Donate Life” Advocate. Former Dialysis Patient. Chronic Kidney Disease Survivor. Organ Donor. HTML Whore. Dog Lover. Chihuahua Owner. Perfectionist. Optimistic Realist. Attention Hog. Extrovert. Social Idiot. Pianist. Starbuck’s Iced-Tea Aficionada. Target Clothing Wearer/Buyer. Website Reviewer. eBayer. Moo Minicard Fan. Flickr Pro Member. Photographer for Fun. And… probably most importantly…
Maker of my Own Happiness and Master of my Own Success.
Krississippi (dot) com is the Fifty-First State of the Union CONFUSION and where you’ll find me most of the time. The blog tells (part of) the story … of one Woman’s life: A woman who is self-assured but still sometimes feels like a girl. A woman who is not perfect nor lacking, confident but sometimes reserved, outwardly courageous but introspectively unsure, strives to lead but sometimes follows, happy-go-lucky yet deep in thought, tough but emotionally fragile… a person who just wants to be herself in this brief period called ‘life’ and find others to share her journey.
——————————-
I also happen to be celebrating World Kidney Day (WKD) today (the 13th), too… and what better way for this kidney patient to promote awareness than by creating a contest? Win something from me while winning some knowledge about your kidneys and how to keep them healthy. Wanna know how and what you will win from My Kidney Blog? Here are the rules:
1. Go to the My Kidney Blog Contest for World Kidney Day and follow the instructions there.
2. Ta-da! That’s it! I will choose a random winner by the end of the weeking using Random.com and contact you via email (and post it here, of course!)
——————————-
I think the biggest point of this post is that I’m a Blogger and I blog on multiple domains/websites about multiple topics. The Ultimate Blog Party 2008 is probably the best place for me to find like-minded people who don’t think there’s anything at all odd weird about spending every waking second (not otherwise occupied by housework/parenting/spouse-ing) BLOGGING.
I’m also trying to win a Blog Party prize. I’d like to win anything, but the Starbucks gift card (#107 from Mel’s World Travel Biz) or Target gift card (#117 from Mommy Bytes) or t-shirts (#23 from PMKU) are my favorites!! I’ll also admit to wanting to win a soft plush Black and White Rocking Horse (prize #1 from A Rocking Horse To Love, the 5 Minutes for Mom website owners’ other store) to give as a gift to my new niece or nephew niece - what an awesome baby shower gift it would make, when the time comes!!
