Mommy's Fabulous Find Friday:Laura of Vodka Logic

It's Friday again, and today I am honored to be able to bring back Fab Find Fridays-especially with this week's featured blogger. She is one of my very favorite ladies-a great writer and an awesome commenter-I'd love for you all to meet


She was very patient and sat down to answer all of my interview questions (and even email them back to me several times when I lost them!)...I can't wait for you all to meet her, I just know you'll like her as much as I do!

So, tell us about yourself (Family/friends/pets? Career/hobbies? Fun facts? Hidden talents? Medical oddities?)...

I am married 29 years now and have two daughters 20 and 15 years old. The oldest is a junior in college studying history and the youngest is a sophomore in high school and an aspiring song writer/guitar player. They each have a cat and I said if we got them I would not change a litter box and I haven't yet in the five years we have had them.

I have a bit of a green thumb although my gardening has slacked off the last few years. The house we have now has crappy soil but I am going to try and revive the flower beds this summer.

As for medical oddities, when I was a kid I was told I had ear canals like a dog...very twisty. Apparently they were hard to look down.

And of course everyone wants to know where we can find your writing...

I write as Vodka Logic at http://snickerbaraddict.blogspot.com. My blog was originally named I was a Snicker Bar Addict [which I figured would be the name of my autobiography someday] but I felt it was too long and having teens turned me to a stronger addiction [just kidding, mostly] I wrote a poem called Vodka Logic and thought it would be a better name.

Curious minds want to know-who and/or what inspires you to blog?

My blog started as strictly a place to post my poetry but I can't "just write" poems which meant I could go days without posting so I expanded to include standard blogging [as I call it] life events, concert reviews and whatever springs to mind....

Please share with us your favorite posts so far!

Happy Anniversary to me (hopefully) The source of the title of my blog http://snickerbaraddict.blogspot.com/2009/07/happy-anniversary-to-me-hopefully.html

I hope you enjoy them..feel free to browse and comment

What writers (and/or bloggers) do you read regularly?

Unfortunately I don't read as much as I used to but my favorite authors include Ken Follett, Alistair Maclean, James Clavell and Robert Ludlum.
I hate to pick a favorite blogger [I know its the standard cop out answer] but I prefer humor to constantly serious blogs. I like to find blog written by guys, they have a different perspective. Check out my blogroll, I think it is diverse.


What are your future plans for your writing/blog?

I don't have any aspirations of being a professional writer but I suppose if I was approached to "spread my wings" I would take the chance. I think it would be fun to publish a book of poetry. Otherwise I will just plod along as I have been doing.

And now, for something completely different.......

Would you rather it be rainy and 70 degrees or sunny and 30 degrees?

I would have to choose rainy and 70. Like the saying "April showers bring May flowers" and I love flowers. I don't care for the cold.

Who was your favorite band/singer when you were 13?

Without a doubt Elton John was my favorite. His was the first concert I went to as well.

The best book of all time is.....

Tai Pan and /or Shogun by James Clavell

Desert islands are so cliche-if you had to spend the rest of your life inside of your home, what three items would you make sure to have for yourself?

Assuming I have necessities such as food, clothing and vodka I would want a constant source of music a computer and Kelly Jones [lead singer of Stereophonics]

Thank you for having me as your featured blogger I am honored.

Thank YOU for agreeing to be interviewed for Fab Find Friday! And of course for following me and being such a great commenter-you always brighten my day.

Alright everybody-go check out Vodka Logic to read some more from our friend Laura!
