This is kind of an admin post. It’s an admin post in that I have a stuff to tell you. I’ll try to make it interesting though, in fact, I might insert a few random facts here and there to keep you on your toes, ok?
Good.
You probably all know by now that I’m a bit of a joiner-in-er. If there’s a gang, an event, an elite crime fighting posse who go round in a big black van with red stripes down the side, then I like to be in it. So it probably won’t surprise you to know that I am once more playing hostess over here at Chez Beaufoix.
Interesting fact number 1: I am part sandwich.
The British Mummy Bloggers Carnival is held once a month, and next month, that’s the month that starts next week, (and indeed the month of my birthday, nudge nudge,) I will be welcoming onto my blog some fabulous UK Mummy and Daddy bloggers. So if you’re one and you want to be included please send me the link to a recent post that you are particularly proud of. You will find me here – jo@jobeaufoix.com
(Thanks Expat Mum). It can be funny, sad, serious, creative, informative, about emus, or anything you fancy really.
Interesting fact number 2: Sometimes I like to just sit in the dark and think about marzipan.
I in turn will provide drinks, nibbles and party poppers, as well as possibly one of those balloon sculpting people. I plan to lure him away from Ikea by leaving a trail of anebodas and stolmens, and a couple of meatballs.
Interesting fact number 3: Mr B is currently wearing a pair of pink ear muffs and a sporran.
The January British Mummy Bloggers Carnival was held at the Alpha Mummy Timesonline site and there are some wicked posts there including one of mine, yay. Go take a peek if you get the chance.
Interesting fact number 4: Once, when I was just walking down the street minding my own business, the Queen ran up and slapped me on the bottom, then rode away on a skooter. How rude.
AND the wise and wonderful and lovely A Modern Mother has set up a British Mummy Bloggers Community on Ning. Come and play.
Interesting fact number 5: I have never been mistaken for a hamster, but I was once mistaken for an Iguana. I put them right.
Ok I’m done.
Except…
A little while ago I asked if some of you wanted to be interviewed, after I myself had been interviewed by Daryl, Bubblewench and Holl. It all started with the fabulous Maria, and is spreading wildly across the blogosphere. Here are the lovely peeps who asked me to interview them. There are some pretty fabulous bloggers here, and if you go and read their posts you may be able to join in as they too will probably be touting for interviewees.
Go gadget eyes…
Potty Mummy – The Potty Diaries
Laura – Are we there yet Mummy?
Lilac Specs – Lilac Coloured Glasses
Dan – All That Comes With it
Karisma – Karisma and Kids
Angela from AOJ and the Lurchers
Maureen – Being Chronically Ill is a Pill
I’ll add links to the others when their interviews are up. :D

OK, I know I’m just not paying attention but where do we send the links to?
January 28th, 2009 at 4:18 pm
i’ll send you a link.
i’m still giggling about the marzipan. giggling because sometimes i sit in the dark and think about people who think about marzipan.
you know, we americans (or is it just me) don’t know what a sporran is. i had to ask h-dude.
i told him what your interesting facts were.
and he has just said “my face appears on high value stamps (somewhere)”
and
“i’ve been known to negotiate with stairs.” oh frig. i’ve got to put those up.
and
“i was once a peace envoy to a bus shelter.”
“my uncle is the incredible hulk”.

Expat, to me. I am a dimwit, I’ll add that to the post. Not that I’m a dimwit, but you know, the link.

Holl, snort, fabulous. I am mightily impressed with H-dude. And you can play too as you are a Mummy in Britain. Mwah.

I’m kind of wishing I was British. My great-grandfather was. Does that count? No, probably not.

very strange synchronicity about the marzipan. An old friend of mine and I were reminiscing just today on Facebook today about the time we dressed up as cleaning ladies, which quickly morphed into prostitutes – couldn’t resist wearing the read lipstick and high heels along with the mops and headscarves (it was the 80’s) and then went to the local Safeway to try and buy marzipan. I can’t remember what the marzipan was for but it proved very difficult to buy for some odd reason.
Just thought I’d share.

I haven’t forgotten my interview questions. Am just honing my replies. Yeah.

I hope someday to be a mummy and people can come visit me in the museum. I dont know what sporrn is but I hope its not contagious. And apparently holls is not the only funny one in her fambly

Momo, I wish we could claim your fabulousness as British but t[would be a lie. Modern Mother does a Best of Mommy Bloggers Carnival though. You’d fit right in there.
Lisa, marzipan is a many faceted thing.
AOJ, can’t wait, I bet they’ll be fab. I’ll add your link when they’re up. x
Daryl I would visit you and bring you new bandages. And a sporran is a furry thing that hangs at the front of a kilt. Very attractive.
And yep, h-dude did good didn’t he.
