I'm Still Here :)

Just a busy, busy bee, like always.

So, what's new? I dyed parts of my hair pink, and I feel very hip and cool now. Yeah.

Oh, and we are getting mountain bikes! Yep. I used to ride my bike ALL the time, even as a teenager. I miss it so, so much! So I decided, we should all get bikes and start going to different bike trails and parks. A great and cheap way to spend some quality time together, as a family.

I miss having a bike. The feeling of freedom, the wind in my hair, zooming down a big hill...

Maya already has a bike, but she needs a new one, too. Hers is a little too small and plus, it's a BARBIE bike. She does not want to be seen DEAD riding a BARBIE bike. After all, she is a fantastically COOL and grown up 8 year old now. Not a baby.

I even went out a bought a book called "Pennsylvania's Bike Trails" hee hee. I'm super excited.

Oh, and I finally found a Trader Joe's near us! I am SO going to start shopping there. I'm trying to be more healthy and what not. I've been wanting to go to a Trader Joe's forever. Their prices are so much better than the organic section at Giant Eagle!

I've been away from my blog for so long and I see I have a ton of comments to catch up and a bunch o new blogs to check out! Yay!

Party Time, Yo!

Wow, 3 posts in one day! But I almost forgot about the Ultimate Blog Party 2009 hosted by 5 Minutes for Mom!

So, welcome to my blog, party animals. I'm Mandy, 29. Mother, wife, coffee addict, photography junkie. I have one 8 year old daughter, Maya. I talk too much, I love reading, poetry, tattoos, rock music, the internet, road trips, the woods, the beach, swimming, laughing, living.

I'm a bleeding heart liberal who volunteered for the Obama campaign, I work part time in a photo lab, I am NOT a morning person, I hate winter with a passion.

Drop me a line and say Hi and I will swing by your blog and say Hi back!

What's This?

Why, this is my new blog! I was getting a little sick of the old one, and needed a change. Needed a fresh start. So welcome, one and all, to Jitters & Twitters!

Funny story. I actually came up with the concept for this blog in a dream. Yes, sometimes I dream about blogging, and various other internet addictions... so?

I will leave my old blog, Not Another Mom Blog! up for archival purposes.

Perhaps you would like to know more about yours truly. I will give you a small sampling of info, and then, well, I guess you will just have to come back if you want to know more! See, I know how to keep readers on the edge. HA.

I am 29 years old, and slightly freaked by the idea that I am in my last year of my 20's. I'm married and I have an awesome 8 year old daughter, Maya. I am a photographer, and I also work part time in the photo lab of a camera shop. I love music... Rock n' Roll, baby. 90's alternative is DA BOMB. I often say really corny things, like DA BOMB. I have very short, messy red hair, 5 tattoos, and a tiny diamond stud in my nose.

So, stick around. This should be fun times!
