Hello friends. We have so many great features lined up for you. Don't hold your breath. We have a ton of exciting things going on here, so if your new...please become a member and browse around a bit. Jump in and join the fun.
For The Love of Blogs Introduces:
Wow! Where do I begin? Silly question, I know; at the beginning is usually the best place but life takes so many twists and turns that it’s sometimes difficult to find your way back to square one.
For starters, my name is Patty, named, in a way, after my late mother, Mary Patricia.
She despised Mary and instead called herself Pat. I came along and became Little Patty…which I hated! My blogging handle is Slidecutter; not as ominous as it sounds, mind you; the term slide cutting is a form of precision hair texturizing and I'm a Hairstylist. Feel better now?
My blog, Another cookie, please!, is based on memoirs, of the same name, that I started writing before my mother’s death from Alzheimer’s disease. I share episodes of my mother’s life, which severely affected my own childhood, and, at times, the subject matter is dark. I’ve always felt that only a select audience can identify with and lend validation to a survivor who becomes a caregiver for their abusive parent. Blogging allows me the opportunity to ramble on about the happier chapters of life, of being a mother and grandmother, while coloring my words with sarcastic crayons when necessary.
I am very sarcastic; that trait is a defense mechanism which has steered me through some rough seas over the years. Apart from working six days a week, I do have my passions; cooking, photography, decorating, knitting, crafting, antiquing and shooting. Yes, shooting; I’m a certified NRA Pistol Instructor who caters to teaching women the fun, and safety, of shooting sports.
You can find me at Another Cookie Please
Now that I am here, allow me to send a big Hello to all my fellow-bloggers along with a very special wink to someone who has been an absolute inspiration with her marvelous writings; a long-time friend who pushed my Just Do It button, encouraging me to take the blog-plunge! Oh, I am sorry, who is she you wonder? Her name is Kelli and she is right here on FTLOB!
Do take some time to read about her life and enjoy her out-of-the-box perspective on raising children, dealing with family, personal demons and ghosts! Yes, I said ghosts!
Meanwhile, I am in awe here; so many outstanding Blogs that encompass a myriad of fabulous subjects and, I will admit, that I wasn't sure there was a place for me to share my stories. Other blog sites deal mainly with motherhood, crafts, cooking and the lighter side of life; my writings tiptoe in and out of those subjects. Until I landed on For the Love of Blogs there wasn't a comfortable niche for me to nestle into; once I found The Random Blog category, I felt right at home! Comments are very welcome and I look forward to your feedback; don't hold back, tell me how you really feel!
Now I'm ready to kick my Ferragamo’s off and sit by the fire and write but I've managed to drop my Button!
It is right down there, would love if you picked it up and passed it around.
Thanks so much!
