Ultimate Blog Party 2009!!

OOh its Blog Party Time again!! I know I know I'm so late in the game, heh, seriously I was ready to post the night the party went live but I've been a little distracted with school and getting ready for our own Birthday Event Blog Party going on here at Seven Dogs and a Baby starting in April. So don't worry girls if you don't win something at the Ultimate Blog Party there will be even more prizes and more fun going on starting in April here! :)

So for those of you that don't know me I always find that the Ultimate Blog Party is a great time to reintroduce myself. So if you already know all this stuff just bear with me and for those of you that don't know me as well, Hi! My name is Angela, I have a son named Connor who will be turning two this April. I started this blog as I was just frustrated with searching for registery items for my baby shower. Seriously I almost hate to admit this but everything I registered for I researched and researched and a good 80% of those things made it to a yard sale in the first three months or were given away as honestly most of it just did not function the way the ads and "reviews" said it would. Coming from a computer background you can usually find a zillion tech reviews on any electronic product and for the most part you will find very relevant information. At the time mommy blogs were not nearly as big as they are now and baby product reviews were hard to come by. Though honestly I did not at all start this blog to be a review blog it just sort of happened over time. I started this blog in 2007 and we have been at this two years and counting not to mention we just celebrated our 1,000 post not long ago. Phew.

I'm a full time writer here and yes I consider this my job seeing as I'm at the computer a good majority of my day between chasing Connor around the house, playing super hero, and dealing with our herd and I do mean HERD of chihuahuas. I'm also a full time student as I decided to go back to school several years ago. You can usually find me goofing off when I have a moment or two on Twitter and feel free to @ me at @angelaandconnor. I'm usually up late and I'd love to talk to you guys!

For all of you that ask and continue to ask YES we do have seven dogs, actually at the moment its 9 as Lelah one of our Chihuahuas had two puppies recently. If your curious as to what Connor's second word was besides Daddy, though its still a sore subject, it was DOG. Go figure.

For Paula I'm listing our prize choices for the party : Top 5 : 19, 21, 22, 88, 122 Also love #44, 91, 106, #118, #3 or a really anything you think me or Connor would love :)!

It's late and I'm getting all excited about the giveaways going on over at the Blog Party so why not give away something here too?! You can totally win my gift basket as one of the Blog Party Prizes but lets do something a little more. SO! With that said I'm totally going to give away another gift basket. This one is a bit more adult oriented.

The gift basket will include : A Spice Stack labeld apron for adults, a size medium Chumby tshirt (this is totally a collectors item and its soo cute and super soft), a precious moments figurine, and a copy of Behind Enemy Lines Columbia!
