BlogHop ’09 #bloghop09

by

I just returned from vacation literally hours ago but I couldn’t NOT participate in BlogHop 09. BusyDad begged me to go to BlogHer (ok, he did mention once or twice I should go. work with me, here) but I went back and forth and then when I finally pushed the button to go, it was all sold out. So a few minutes without BusyDad and all the other great bloggers and hundreds of dollars saved later, here I am on BlogHop 09. I can’t wait to find new blogging friends! And now, what you came here for…a little about me…

I’m 31 years old (just as of last week).  I have two girls Emma (6) and Lexi (4).  I have a wonderful husband of 11 years (in a few weeks) that is a State Trooper for South Carolina, where we live.  I work from home part-time as a computer programmer for a large bank.  That’s the basics I guess.  Other fun stuff:

  • I love and started this blog over 7 years ago.
  • I’m addicted to Twitter.  Follow me @amyjbennett.  I usually follow back.
  • I love my iPhone.  I am on it constantly.  Just a few minutes ago I downloaded a Period Tracker app.  Yep, there’s an app for that.
  • I finished writing my first book last month.  My sister still hasn’t read it.  My husband says he probably won’t ever read it.  Three people have read it all and liked it ok.  One is my mother though, so I’m not sure if she counts.
  • I’m a Christian.  I try to live it and sometimes you’ll see me blog about it.
  • I love TV.  During the fall I have 9 or 10 shows I watch.  There are a few I blog about. Here are my favorites: One Tree Hill, American Idol, Grey’s Anatomy, LOST, Bachelorette/Bachelor, Gossip Girl.  I used to watch House, Desperate Housewives, Private Practice, 24 and Survivor but I had to cut back.
  • I own 3 other entertainment blogs.  One Tree Hill Blog, I Heart Danny Gokey and Melrose Place Blog.  They take a lot of time but I love them.
  • We live near both our parents and spend a lot of time with them.  Read: I let them cook for us as much as possible 😉

That probably covers most of me. I hope you found something to connect with and I can’t wait to HOP over to your blog.  Leave a comment and I’ll come find you!

  4. Hi Amy It’s so nice to “meet” you! This is my first visit to your blog! You have a beautiful family. Based on your TV addictions, I suspect we would get along fabulously!!! Enjoy the party!

  6. Hi, I’m from the party too. I have a blackberry. An iphone might be too much temptation to surf all day long.

  8. Hello from the BlogHop! You’ve been blogging for SEVEN years?! Amazing! I’ve been on for about 3.5, though I’ve been online in one way or another since 1996. I bet you’ve seen a lot of changes as a blogger, huh? You have a lovely family, and it’s fun to have “met” you during this little party! 🙂

  10. So many similarities… I am a Christian mama with a 4-year-old (I also have a 2-year-old and a baby) and I was born in South Carolina! Funny, funny! Nice to meet you! 🙂

  11. Hi Amy, just popping over from BlogHop (I really should get off here and go to bed!). Loved reading about you and wow! you wrote a book? Is it published yet or do you mean you just finished it and haven’t sent it to anyone yet (except your mom and your sister)and why won’t your hubby read it? What’s it about? Now I’m intrigued 😉
    Anyway, it’s nice to meet you, that’s a great pic of you and yours.
    Hugs
