I am a star
Thanks for your input on the Supermom Vitamins. I am so taking these vitamins right now.
I leave tomorrow for a trip to the west coast. I’ll be travelling on Sony’s dime, a very frugal way to go. Quite fitting for a Frugal Hacker, wouldn’t you say?
By the way, if you haven’t looked at Frugal Hacks lately, please do! We have guest posts and over 500 members in the Frugal Blogroll, and Mrs. Mecomber has added a scrolling box option to display the blogroll without letting it take over your entire sidebar. I’ll be adding the option to the official Join Here page soon but in the meantime watch for it on the front page of Frugal Hacks. See it in action right on the sidebar of Frugal Hacks.
But what am I blathering on about? I just got the details for my upcoming trip and learned that when I arrive in San Diego, there will be a limo driver holding up a sign with my name on it.
Does that strike anyone as unreal? I never expected that blogging would take me there. I wonder if they’ll want me to drop down to Hollywood and leave my handprint on a sidewalk somewhere. I’m pretty sure I’ll need dark shades for this trip. And business cards. And an agent. And a pin to puncture my huge head and let out some of the hot air that’s building up in there, because this has got to be a joke.
Don’t get me wrong; I never longed for fame. This is not the culmination of any of my childhood hopes and dreams. I have never ridden in a limo and never pondered the possibility. I’ve never even had a manicure. I’m just hugely amused that this is happening to me, a humble homeschooling mom of a bunch of kids, wife of a good and humble man, yet another woman who should probably find a way to install an alarm clock on her computer so she can get to bed at a reasonable hour.
So why is a limo driver going to hold up a sign with my name on it?

Is your mommy blogger event in the San Diego area? I live in the San Diego area and would love to meet up with you or go to event if it is open to all bloggers. Thanks-Rachel
Cuz it would be worse if the driver had to walk around the terminal yelling, “Kim C! Kim C!” Relax, enjoy the ride!
And just wait until you see what those vitamins do for your hair!! When I took those my last pregnancy, my hair grew so thick and beautiful when previously I had been losing it like crazy. I need to get on them again now that my first trimester sickness is gone. I couldn’t even THINK of taking a pill like that with morning sickness. Blech
I make my own Spirulina capsules - I believe that’s the engergy part of the Super Mom pills.
I don’t need naps when I’m on them, and with two boys (2yo&6mo) that is a WONDERFUL thing!
Anyways. I encourage you to take them, too. Hope you have a lovely trip!
Hi Kim. I am beginning to wonder if this is a joke — are you serious about the limo thing??? I too am dumbstruck. :O
Well, I do have a little more fame to add to your amassing amount of it — I am not sure if I left you a comment on this blog a while ago or not, but, some time ago, I awarded your blog with the “Interesting Blog” award — not sure if you ever received my communication. You can check out the award at my blog, here:
http://ahpatriot.blogspot.com/2008/03/alexander-hamilton-patriot-is.html
Just to make it clear, you show that you received the award by:
1) putting the picture (you will see it in the above post) on your sidebar, and
2) writing a brief post telling that your blog received the award, who gave it to you, and which blogs you would like to pass the award on to
I hope you consider accepting the award; I think your blog is worthy of it.
Your friend,

P.S. And if you do get a limo ride, I think you deserve that one too. Yes, I would recommend bringing shades!
I am curious who runs the house while your away and do the kiddos still do school work?
mj,
Either of our oldest 2 daughters is entirely capable of running the house, but Hubby was able to take the week off of work so the children won’t be left alone.
And it’s not as though I do this regularly. This will the first time I’ve ever gone away w/o Hubby, and one of the very few times I’ve left the children overnight.
School? I doubt very much that it will happen on any sort of schedule but I have no doubt that plenty of learning will happen. Intelligent minds are rarely content to stagnate, and even if they are, stagnation is rarely allowed in our household.
WAHOO! Take pictures in the limo! Heck, take pictures of the limo driver holding up his sign!!!!
Have fun. Sadly, I won’t have a limo waiting for you when you get here, but we’ll have some good chattin’ anyway!
Karen,
You might not have a limo waiting for me, but I get the feeling you’ll be happier to see me than the limo driver will. And I can’t wait to get to your house!
And yes, I am definitely taking pictures. Sign, driver, limo, and all. I rearranged my luggage to make room in my carry-on for the camera, because I am *not* waiting for Sony to hand me one before I start snapping shots! This is all too funny and surreal to trust my memory. I want hard evidence.
thats great what an interesting week it will be, funny when my husband has are 2 kids for the day he is all frazzled can’t imagine what he would be like for a week. this is such a great oppurtunity for you I hope you have time to post while your away we will all be checking in to see.
