It’s a blog!
You know how babies aren’t exactly fun to look at when they are first born? Like, a-minute-old? Unless it’s your baby, in which case you declare her the most beautiful thing you ever laid eyes on, but honestly, when you look back at the birth photos when she’s about three-and-a-half-years-old, you marvel at what a cutie pie your little alien has grown up to be. Well, that’s how I view this blog. It’s kinda homely right now. Puffy-eyed, nothing to write home about design-wise. But it’s here, finally, and it’s mine.
Hopefully it won’t take me years to get some bells and whistles going. I already know that this Plain Jane theme has to go. I just am not tech-savvy enough to figure it all out in a reasonable amount of time. So as we speak, teams of techies are working to make this site more…Mamalicious! (Well, okay, ONE sweet techie man in particular…and as I type, he’s sleeping).
In the meantime…Welcome! Please post a comment, a question, a dare. Come back again. Tell a friend. Repeat.
What can you expect? Commentary on newsworthy stuff, pop culture, parenting, some personal, some political, race matters, books and the people who write them.
I read a lot of blogs, but this is my first real one, so I’d appreciate any suggestions and words of wisdom from all you veterans. Also, I’ll thank you in advance for your patience through the growing pains.

I do expect to mix it up, cause controversies and down right offend everyone of your readers if they don’t think the same way I do politically. Naw, just kidding. Anyway thanks for the baby alien thing. Mine should arrive here on earth in about 8 weeks (sans the anal probes) Good look Sis. I do expect great things from you.
Mr. Smith!

Whoo hoo! Welcome to the Internets.
Since you asked for advice, here’s my only real advice to bloggers: It’s the WORLD WIDE web. Edit accordingly.

Throw a Google ad bar or two on here… maybe make a few dollers… as the visitor hits grow, so could your revenue…
Always thinking with my capitalist cap on :o)

Deeshaleh! (Do I now have to call you Bloggaleh?) Health and love to your newest bouncing baby…which believe me, will have to bounce rather high to join the ranks of your first two.
I LOVE this as a venue for your voice.

Deb and Mr. Smith: I’m going to hold you to those threats, er, promises to mix it up in here. I promise to give you fodder worth mixing it up over.
Taneshia: Is it safe to say that you will be our resident cheerleader? I do believe you have the legs for it…teehee.
Shannon: I see you over there with your red pen.
TAO: Capitalist??? Didn’t you blog about…never mind. Thanks, bro!
Rachel: Please do add me! xoxoxoxoxo
Dear Lauraleh: Bloggaleh? That’s way too close to “Dracula” for comfort. I’m soooooo happy to cyber-see you. I think of you daily.
And thanks, everyone, for the warm welcome to the blogosphere!

I enjoyed reading your blog…interesting with witty insights witty. Thanks for sharing. The name Mamalicious drew me to your blog. What is the significance of the name?

Purrfitfit,
Thanks for stopping by!
To answer your question…It’s a word I made up. On my IM status message, if I am busy with my kids, I put up a notice that says “Mamalicious”, and my IM friends know the deal.
