There's another writer in the Pie house

Hey all. This is Mary V. and I offered to post once in awhile here at LOP and Beverly added me as an author. Although, I think she's doing pretty well on her own so I expect she will kick me to the curb soon but until then, I'll bore you all with a little info on me.

First thing, I'm on the old side. A little older than June, actually. And I've been a wife and mother for 30+ years so a lot of what I blog about centers on my family. I have a lot of material there to work with. My husband alone can provide volumes.

I wear a number of different hats including (but not limited to) part-time office assistant for a real estate company, blogger (I currently have 5 active blogs that include everything from creativity stuff, to life, to reviews on all sorts of things), crafter (I love cardmaking and scrapbooking in particular), chief cook and bottle washer, pet owner, part-time home business consultant and soon to be business entrepreneur of an event planning company. And lots more but that's the highlights.

I am also an avid list maker and have a little bit of what my family defines as OCD so that adds to the wackiness of my life. Truthfully, my family thinks my compulsion to have things at "right angles" all the time is a sickness - I call it being organized. As a matter of fact, it is so obvious that I like things in exact spots that a co-worker/friend placed tape outlines on my desk at work and labeled where everything should always be. For instance, the exact spot for my stapler and one for my paperclip box. She did this to annoy me but in fact, I loved it - made the organizing so much easier!

I live just south of the Michigan state line in Ohio so I was close enough to make the trip to Saginaw last summer to meet Hulk and June at Hulkapalooza. Fun time! As a matter of fact, June was celebrating her birthday so it was Hello Kitty presents from me, including the Magic 8 Ball she's referred to in her posts once in awhile. I also had a little something to do with posting the birthday video that Matze (remember him?) made for her and I created her blog badges (which definitely need updating!!) And I agree with everyone else that daily blog reading will just suck once June quits for good.

So to wrap up for now, I will honor my favorite blogger by posting an obligatory pet photo of my lab, Princess Leia:

Y u put leia on pi left ovrs?  leia eet pi.

Ok so Leia might not have the spelling skillz like Lu, but she tries.

Enjoy your Memorial Day and if all y'all don't mind, I will be back to post again soon. As soon as something funny happens to share with you.
