Saying Hello

They say you never really know a person until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes, and after last week, I can confirm for you that the proverbial "they" are absolutely correct. Last week, Jes Ferris announced that she will soon be leaving BlogHer, and I am *beyond* excited to announce that I am taking on her role as Conference Programming Manager.  Read more >

Teaching Children the Fine Line Between Honesty and Manners

Chess Pieces

Momma, he is so large, she says to me, to herself, to him, to no one and all of us at the same time, but not nearly as large as the shame-hole I just fell face-first into, kid, I whisper silently, a prayer for either forgiveness or forgetfulness, though I am not sure which would have been preferable.  Read more >

 With thanks to @outsidevoice and @allisonzapata for the gentle nudge, I'd happy to announce that we are, indeed, having a pre-Blogher '10 meetup in Houston this year! All are welcome to attend - you don't necessarily have to be a girl, or a boy, or a blogger, or even attending the conference. The details are all here. Go RSVP, and we'll see you there!  Read more >

Information

Full Name
Shannon Carroll (Mr Lady)
Member Since
August 2007
About Me: 

Otherwise known as Mr Lady, hey, mom! and - on occasion - Redneck Mommy, Shannon Carroll is the blogger behind Whiskey In My Sippy Cup, a critically acclaimed blog about nothing in particular.

Shannon started blogging in January of 2005, before the time of plugins and widgets, which is the equivalent of remembering what is was like to use a rotary phone for something other than winning a street fight. 

She is the mother of a teenaged son, a tween boy and an elementary-aged daughter, which means that everyone in her house absolutley *loves* K$sha, just for very different reasons. Her husband is in the restaurant industry, so she hasn't actually seen him since that one dinner rush in 1996. 

She is a liberal who believes in flat tax, an atheist with an impressive collection of crucifixes, and hates reggee but thinks that Redemption Song may be the finest piece of music ever penned by man. She is terrified of spiders, heights and balloons, dreams of one day being a gangsta rapper and is physically incapable of keeping a hamster alive, or baking cookies.
