Come As You Are Blog Party

I was teaching The Bortski (age 2) to play tag recently. He got it, sort of. He ran back and forth yelling, "Tag-er-it!"

Well now I've been tagged and invited to a "Come As You Are Blog Party." This thing has been making it's way around the blogosphere, and after watching it percolate for a few days, it finally got me. More specifically, Tanya at <a href=" http://breastfeeding.blog.motherwear.com/2006/12/tag_youre_it.html">The Motherwear Breastfeeding Blog </a>tagged me. 

I did a little research of my own, tracing back how I got tagged. And then I did a <a href=" http://www.google.com/search?q=come+as+you+are+blog+party &hl=en&lr=&rls=GGLG,GGLG:2005-40,GGLG:en&start=0&sa=N">Google search</a>, to find the rules of the game: 
1. As soon as you're tagged, take a picture of yourself and post it on your site. 
2. Explain why you look the way you do at that moment. 
3. Tag four other bloggers that you want to see "as is."

Now, I got lucky with this one. Normally I would be in sweatpants and one of my husband's running shirts. But in this case, I had just come in from the Holiday party in our apartment building's lobby. My husband was a gem and stayed in to do the full-combat-bedtime-battle with The Bortski.

So here I am, collapsed on the floor. Note the multiple strollers. The <a href=" http://www.maclarenbaby.com/us/catalogue/catalogue.php">Maclaren Quest </a>that The Bortski rocks. The <a href=" http://www.inglesina.com/us/products/details.php?sectionid=27&itemid=200 &pathtype=sectiontree">Inglesina Zippy</a> that has been passed down to The Bear (age 8 months)-- this stroller is a work horse! We use those two rides when the kids have to be in different places at the same time. And then, when I'm flying solo, we have the <a href=" http://www.jane.es/construye/index.php?fuseaction=fitxa&tipo=1&i d_producte=130&categoria=">Jane Powertwin</a>. I jumped through some might large hurdles to get my hands on one of these before they were available in the States. I bought it on line from a place in the UK. Then it got stuck in customs in Alaska. 

One more thing, I'm very lucky I got tagged at night and my husband is home. He just got a new camera, <a href=" http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelDetailAct&fcate goryid=145&modelid=14227">Canon PowerShot SD800 IS</a>. (The last one got crushed under mysterious circumstances). And I still haven't learned how to upload photos to our computer. 

So who do I want to see come to the party, I tag <a href=" http://www.haikuoftheday.com/">Haiku of The Day</a>, <a href=" http://booksonboobs.com/blog//">The bOOb Lady's Blog</a>, <a href=" http://www.babytalkers.com//">Baby Talkers </a>and <a href=" http://www.everydayiwritethebook.typepad.c om/">Everyday I Write The Book Blog</a>.

Hey guys, "tag-er-it!"
