>Guest Post: MommaK
>Hiya – MommaK here. I’ve been blogsitting for Lucinda this week and now I’ll be doing a few guest posts until she returns on Sunday.
Guest posting is a tricky job because you don’t want to piss off the blog’s owner by writing something dreadfully boring or by posting a picture of a gigantic penis (which is what I had planned but after reading my blogsitting instructions, I see I am specifically prohibited against penis pictures – DAMN!!)
So I guess I’ll just stick with what I’m good at – playing games. This game was played on my blog last summer when a dear friend, Raehan, guest posted for me while I was in San Francisco. I thought I’d give it a go over here since it was loads of fun in Petroville.
The name of the game is Three Degrees of Lucinda and You.
Iām going to name three things I have in common with Lucinda.
1. We are both stepmothers to teens and tweens.
2. We both enjoy tipsy photography, shopping when we’re depressed and any chance to get away to the spa.
3. We are both fantastic moms but secret bitches who let our evil side show only when we howl at the full moon. (That’s how we met, actually.)
Your Turn:
Name a couple of things you have in common with Lucinda as well as the commenter above you. (This may mean visiting their blog.) I’ll be back to play a few times during the day to keep things rolling.
>Oooo! I’m first!OK… 1. Lucinda and I both have young daughters. Mine is 3.2. We both stay home with our kids3. I’d like to think that we share a similar sence of humor.Next? My blog is http://www.emptycerebrations.com

>I like the SOUND of tipsy photography. I think that may be a version of what I do…hahaha. Only tipsy isn’t the proper word. Oh, its legal alrgiht, just not always legal in the dosages I take.I will be back to see what else we have in common, I just couldnt pass up the tipsy photograpy. ( I have a weed/mushroom in my garden that looks like a penis. )

>like lucinda, i enjoy reading and cooking and would like to visit every continent (i’m halfway there). i also love roald dahl (but completely freaked myself reading “the witches” as a kid and my mother had to take it away from me) and fantasize about being a writer (but not a famous one, just somewhat successful).like t., i used to run, no longer do, hate popcorn, and can sew.i feel sorry for the next person because i don’t have a 100 things about me link and it’s gonna suck reading through my site trying to find out stuff about me!
>Lucinda and I both like MAKEUP! Anbd lots of it. I even clicked on the MAKEUP link on her site and judging from my MAKEUP prediliction, she is gonna get a LOT of commissions.Jennifer (above me) you and I BOTH LOVE ITALY! Ciao!

>Lucinda and I are both trying to maintain an identity separate from the throng of pod people milling in and around our well-manicured neighborhood tot lots. We also laugh at our own jokes. (You gotta take it where you can get it.) Lauri, she of the comment above me, and I share a deep and abiding love of Christopher Guest movies.
