If you know the rest of that quote, you and I are destined to be great friends! When I was brainstorming throwing together this post for the 5m4m’s Ultimate Blog Party, this was the first party quote that came to mind. Ahh, Ted “Theodore” Logan and Bill S. Preston, Esq. Those were the good old days before Keanu could dodge bullets.***
If you made it past that first totally random paragraph, yay! Welcome to my Blog Party! At last year’s party I was a newbie blogger and met so many fun friends. I have been really looking forward to this party but just haven’t been able to think of that awesomely creative idea to party with.
I thought about just giving a nice personal intro with a recipe. But I’ve hit my quota for recipes this year. And really a “30 year old sahm” just about covers my bio.
Then I thought about showing pictures of me and my 2 year old, but honestly, just scroll down a few times and you’ll see more than you ever wanted.
Maybe I could do a giveaway…you know, bribe people to love me. But, after giving away a deceased teddy bear last week and a panda finger puppet the week before, I’m just all out of good prizes.
A giant carnival, meme or wordless-wednesday-type-thingie could be fun. But honestly, who has time to look through another Mr. Linky?
Then I got thoughtful and decided to write something deeply profound (are those synonyms?) or maybe even something highly controversial! But, nah, I’m not really feeling it.
Then inspiration hit!
(uh, inspiration? that was your cue! you’re supposed to hit me now!)
Ahem, well.
What I meant to say was that inspiration was still evading me, so I began to pray. I decided to fast all my meals until Friday morning (good thing I already ate dinner!). Then I realized, I’m not really all that super-spiritual.
Come on, now. Think, think, think. What do all the cool bloggers do? What would make me subscribe to a blog’s feed? What would make me stick around and click on a blogger’s about me page? What amazing thing would I have to read to leave an actual comment?
I have no idea. What’s going on at your party?

Still don’t know the end to my title quote? It’s “party on, dude!”, of course!
Any other favorite Bill & Ted lines you’d like to share? This one‘s mine.

Oh, and did you see the prizes? Well, there are about 50 that I’d like…but let’s see, my top 3:
37: moby wrap (for my new baby in October!)
20: $50 to paperliciious (because I *heart* all things paper)
117: $25 Target (because I really *heart* Target)
And if those are already taken well, any of these will do:
22
34
39
49
55
58
59
60
70
84
96
11
12

15
(Is that just greedy, or what?!)
Thank you Janice & Susan for hosting this rockin’ party!

You got my to add you to my reader. I even made my hubby listen while I read him your post. You don’t understand – this mean I dragged him away from Winston Churchill’s “History of the English Speaking Peoples”. Quite a accomplishment! We are partying here in the Bahamas too – although I know Churchill doesn’t sound like much of a party.

Beckie says

GIRL!!! You KNOW I watched B&T’s EA constantly for several years! You KNOW it! My favorite is the little guitar riff they did all the time – my BF from HS and I did that ALL the time to each other. You KNOW it!
And look at all these comments! Wow! I’ve got to start partying!

Susanne says
Cute post! Very nice to “meet” you!
Laurie says
I wish I could remember a Bill & Ted line to quote, but it’s been a terribly long, sad time since I’ve seen either movie. Now I’m going to have to go rent it…
Laurie says
Yay for Bill & Ted! Party on, Amanda! 🙂
P.S. Wild Stallions RULE 🙂

It is very nice to meet you Amanda! Your blog is very fun and I like your writing style. I’ll be back to read some more!
I’m sad to say I completely followed your “random” first paragraph, my little sisters were more familiar with it than I (see it just keeps getting worse for me)!
Happy blog party!!!

Stacey @Real World Mom says
What a great site! I’m so glad I’ve had the chance to meet you! Happy Saturday!
Cindy Lynn says
*grins* I read your post title and thought, “Isn’t that line from Bill and Ted?”
Your post made me laugh. Partially because I was so with you on the “(uh, inspiration? that was your cue! you’re supposed to hit me now!)” line.
Wonderful to meet you.
Sher :) says
Love your intro, but I don’t know who Bill and Ted are. Sorry! 🙂
Enjoy!!

I feel the same way. So I decided just to do an intro to my blog. I am a newbie in the blogging world. I have been reading a few blogs regularly for over a year and finally decided in Dec to start on.
Carol Van Rooy says
That was just so genuine. You absolutely cracked me up.
Have a great party.
Sheila says
this is my first time participating in the UBP, and so far, you’re the first to make me laugh!
you got my read! I’ll be back!
party on!

sprittibee says
You are too cute. 🙂 I actually did something really out of the ordinary. I created my own party graphic with 4 different programs because I’m too poor to have Photoshop. It actually turned out pretty neat. 🙂 Come see it!
I’m a Compassion Sponsor, too! Love your pretty purple template.
In Him,
Heather
Itsabelly Baby Concierge says
Very funny entry…you wrote the way I felt when I was thinking about what to do but then I decided to go with the boring pictures and let me tell you about myself story. So, stop by if you have a moment. You’ve got a TON of comments here so if you make it through ALL of these blogs to say hi, kudos to you!!!!
AmyG says
You always make me smile! I completely forgot about the blog party… I have nothing exciting to say right now anyway, lol. Oh well… maybe next year! Thanks for the smiles!
Ceci says
Loved reading your party blog! I could associate with the trouble deciding what to write!
Jerri says
Hey. I liked your post. This is actually my first blog party. I wasn’t sure what to write, so I just did a “basic” meet me & my blog thing. Maybe I’ll come up with something better next time. Hope you will stop by & see me some time. Happy Party!
Sanja says
happy blogparty!
nice to meet you. greetings from austria!
Alexis says
Sorry I’m late. I was at another party. But now I am here and ready to par-tay with you. 🙂 That is until I have to go back to my own party.
Marie J says
Nice party, chilled out, ya know?
Lots of info dropping there, very cool!
Audra Marie says
Don’t you love it when total randomness leads to lots of comments? I enjoyed your rambling post (probably why one of my blogs is called My Meandering Mind lol).
Bill and Ted are excellent! 😉
Clever linkage hiding in there, too. I’ll have to remember that for the next party. 🙂
