First up...
Dazed and Confused, Aladdin, Lion King, The Sandlot, The Breakfast Club, Star Wars (New Hope), Romeo + Juliet, Rocky Horror..., Dawn of the Dead...
I think I'm gonna stop there. I seriously could go on.
Well here in the land of Indiana, the weather can be very impulsive, last night we had overcast and sleet. So I had the wonderful idea of running outside in my naked feet with my iPhone and snap a picture. What the hell, right?! If I wasn't going to get the moon then I should at least get something. So I give you SLEET!
Hmmm... Let's see... My name is Danielle but my aunts have always called my Dani. A few years ago, another Danielle started working with us so my co-workers opted to call me Dani. After Danielle #2 quit, the name stuck. My friend of over 14 years also calls me Dani but we have a nick name for everyone.
If you don't already know, I'm 35 and a mom of four. A 14 yr old, 13 yr old (in 7 days), 10 yr old and 3 yr old. Met my second husband at 26 and this one seems to be stinking around. LOL. We really do love each other. He's my polar opposite - we magnetize each other. Oh and I'm done having kids. Love them dearly but I'm done.
I'm hardly ever serious. Oh, I can be serious, and mean, and just a straight up be-itch! But I'm normally sarcastic, cynical, cracking jokes, a klutz, honest, fair, steadfast - your typical Capricorn. Ask my kids, they have to ask me whether I'm being "for real" with them; my husband is the serious one.
I love to read and write - dystopian/horror mostly but I also enjoy fantasy, paranormal, YA. I'm not a huge romance girl. Well to be perfectly honest, I've never really been a girly girl. So give me action - that also goes for movies. Blow stuff up! Bring on the aliens! Chase me with zombies!
So that's me in a nut shell. Now go visit all the blog hops and fests going on! Have a happy Monday!
Blow stuff up and being chased my zombies? Sounds like you have a full life. And thanks for participating in Re-Introduce Myself!
ReplyDeleteHey, you sound like a lot of fun! I would love to get into writing horror, but alas, no ideas yet. :) Maybe someday.
ReplyDeleteI love action and adventure, too, but if it's got some lurve thrown in then I'm all the more happy. :)
ReplyDeleteNice sleet pic - thanks for sharing! hehe
Laughing is extremely healthy, so go you. Nice to meet you and I like your pic even if there's no moon in it. :D
ReplyDeleteAt least you took a pic. *grins* Lion King and Aladdin are such amazing animated classics. Consider yourself reintroduced Dani. Still love you the second time around.
ReplyDeleteI love the name Dani, but I also love Danielle.
ReplyDeleteWow, you are one busy mom. I only have three kids, and that's crazy enough. :)
I am a huge Star Wars geek...I can watch it over and over. Much to my kids chagrin. They are pretty sick of it.
ReplyDeleteI like the nick-name Dani. My daughter is Franchesca but everyone calls her Frankie. It suits her.
We share a lot of the same personality traits. I am never serious for long and I married my EXACT opposite. Which makes life much more interesting, if you ask me. :)
Nice to meet you, Dani! G-friend, I don't know how you do all you do, but I'm giving you a standing ovation because you deserve it! Maybe if I have just one more cup of coffee, I can be like you, lol. I'm glad I stopped by. You are a lot of fun! :)
ReplyDeleteI have a number of students named Danielle that go by Dani. I got the impression from reading your post that you talk fast. Do you? Four kids are great fun but moms need a lot of energy for such a crew. I know.
ReplyDeleteLove the Breakfast Club, Aladdin and the Lion King!! My husband and I have the same values, but we're opposite in a LOT of ways. It's worked for us for twenty five years. :) And I have four kids too! Although mine are all older than yours. (22, 21, 17 and 14) But I have the three year old grandson too, which puts us back on even footing. :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. Zombies rule! I take it you're a fan of Walking Dead???? Can't wait till it comes back on!
ReplyDeleteI had a good chuckle when I read your post!
ReplyDeleteYou are the exact female version of my Capricorn hubby... even down to those character traits you mentioned... and I am the serious one... yes, polar opposites work well.
Nice to meet you Dani!
Hi, Dani,
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you. You are a girl with interesting interests.I love your quirky energy and that you love action...
What a fun blogfest! I love learning more about everyone. Oh-and what a cool picture...have a great day :)
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you. It's so much fun learning about everyone.
ReplyDeleteAnother non-girly-girl... yippee! Glad to hear you and your hubby get along so well :) Nice re-meeting you!
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you. This has been a great blog hop. Although everytime I say that, I always picture myself in a poodle skirt drinking a malt. haha. I'm not a girly girl either, have 3 kids (also done), and also have the polar opposite husband 2.0. :-)
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you, Dani. I'm with you on not being serious half the time. Where's the fun in that?
ReplyDeleteI'm also done having kids. I can hardly contain my glee every time I remember it's only uphill (in a good way) from here. I'll never have to breastfeed again!!
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you!
Lovely to meet you, Dani. I'm a fan of dytopian/horror novels too, although I don't tend to write in either genre. What a wonderfully eclectic list of movies--you don't very often see Rocky Horror and The Lion King in the same list. :)
ReplyDeleteSo nice to meet you, Dani! Sounds like this is a busy place to hang out!
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you, Dani. I'm not a big romance gal either. At least not in books. I like it better in movies.
ReplyDeleteMy stepkids (and kid) are pretty close in age to yours. 18, (nearly) 16, 12 and 4. Never a dull moment, that's for sure!
ReplyDeleteLol, mine don't get it when I'm joking with them because I say things so deadpan. Then they get annoyed when I say I was joking! They should know by now... don't take me seriously!
Well, I don't do aliens or zombies, but I do write a LOT of action! I love it, too!
ReplyDeleteYes! Explosions and aliens. I'm with you on that one.
ReplyDeleteWe were done having kids also...until the bonus baby came along!! :)
ReplyDeleteOh no, frostbitten toes are uncalled for, in any blogfest! Still, I enjoy that pic - very visually interesting! Thanks for hopping with me! :-)
ReplyDeleteWe had bad weather here in Iowa too. Nothing like a whole day of freezing rain!
ReplyDeleteSweeeeeet! I think I found another blog twin. I'm not a girly girl, don't go for much romance but have read it for reviewing purposes. Give me action, guns, big booms and fast cars. lol! I'm a wife and mom as well. Very nice to meet you. Hope to see you at my blog. Here's my link: www.caledonialass.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteit's ok, my hubs and i are pretty opposite...but the love is mutual. oh my that was cheesy! hahahaa...he would give me the "your weird" look if he heard that. :D
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I'm not the only person in the world who doesn't think twice about taking naked feet outdoors in the middle of winter.
ReplyDeleteAh Dani, can I tell you something cool cuz I see you love tattoos? I have a horrible tattoo, and I sent a requet to Tattoo Nightmares (Spike TV) have their artists do a cover up. I was invited to send them my story! Not a guarantee to be on the show; but if you watch it, you'll understand my passion.
ReplyDeleteMy family still teases me about going barefoot too :) Way to improvise and rise to a challenge, lol.
.......dhole
I'm also not much of a romance fan either. Some are nice, but romantic comedies generally make me want to gag.
ReplyDeleteLike your "moon" pic. It looks like I'm looking through a kaleidoscope. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteI love romance stuff (you know this), but I'm all for aliens, zombies, and heart stopping stuff, too. :D
Nice to re-meet you! I love your sleet picture :)
ReplyDeleteIt's great to meet you! You do seem like a hoot, don't you? :) Guess you got to be with a full life. I don't do romance books either, bot not much into dystopia. Horror is good. Interesting moon/sleet pic.
ReplyDeleteYou're funny! Sounds like you've got your hands full with those kids. Glad I never was one ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to meet you :)

So nice to meet you. And I snorted when you said your second husband is "stinking around." I don't know if you did that on purpose, but that was funny.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog, I'm not a girly girl either really, although sometimes the emotions creep out since having my daughter. That's what I blame it on anyway!
ReplyDeleteOh, and Smokey and the Bandit was on last night, my husband was shocked/amused/embarrassed at just how many lines I knew. Put the petal to the metal, with a ten-ten on the side!
What a fun post. Great to meet you and find out more about your writing and personality. Anyone who can manage four kids (from teenagers to toddlers) is impressive in my book. I have three girls, so I know the work it takes (13, 11 & 8). New follower!
ReplyDeleteGreets - hope you're having fun with this re-meet thing. Tis a pleasure to drop by and say 'hello' :)
ReplyDeleteHahaha at the sleet! Hey, at least you still did it! We're the same age, but you've got double the kids. I'm also happily finished having kiddos, and enjoying the ones I've got. Let's see, movies I can quote throughout? Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, Ladyhawk, Princess Bride, Labrynth, Aliens, etc. Like you, I could go on forever!

It is nice to get to know you a little better Danni!Rocky Horror was my pick too and I do like Dawn of the Dead too and you just can't go past Star Wars, although it was one I did not include in the post.
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking part in the Re-introduce Yourself Blogfest!
