The Catbird Seat: What Am I?
I need some help.
No, I’m not talking about the Site Meter Addiction. (Although I do wonder if there’s a 12-step program for it. Just kidding.)
I recently registered with BlogHer, a website/organization that promotes women bloggers and their blogs (basically a blog aggregator), and I hope to list my blog on their blogroll.
The problem? They encourage blog-listers to provide a brief description of the blog being submitted.
Well, I’m having a terrible time coming up with a brief, edgy and accurate description for “The Catbird Seat.”
And when I say “a terrible time”, I mean, A TERRIBLE TIME. I feel like my blog is having an identity crisis.
I can’t seem to capture the essence of my blog at all, much less in a short, clever description that would make someone want to read my blog as a result.
So….HELP!
Many of you read my blog every day. I think you all are better qualified to describe “The Catbird Seat” than I am.
I would love your comments about what my blog is…or what it’s not. Anything to help shape this description, so that I don’t mislead potential readers.
Better still would be a one- or two-sentence description that inspires people to stop by and check me out. (and by “me”, I mean, “my blog.” Sheesh.)
Anyway, leave your thoughts, impressions, opinions or descriptions in the comment box below. I’ll let you know what becomes of all this when it’s all said and done. Thx.

“thoughts on life from a stay-at-home mom with a pharmaceutical degree, a knack with words, and an artist’s eye for the world around her.”
i hate boxes and can’t get my blog into one either. i’m no help here.
Often off-the-wall, always heartfelt perspectives on marriage, motherhood, and the mundane from a pharmacist-turned-stay at home mom with a less than firm hold on her sanity, but a great grasp for words.
I was going to give it a shot, but I think Julie has you summed up! Funny, my sister does that to me too. (^_^)
Only come to The Catbird Seat if you have access to a 12 step program for OCBD (Obsessive compulsive blogging disorder).
You will not be able to stop reading about a woman who happens to life and not vice-versa. And fortunately, she won’t stop blogging about it either.
Laugh, cry, yell, or silently wonder, grab a seat (pick one from her gallery) and read about a SAHM who yearns to squeeze every ounce out of life.
I know, it’s a little too movie-trailerish, but I gave it a shot.
[…] “Less than firm hold on her sanity” is right, alright. […]
