Magnificent Moms–Cecily K

Generally I prefer my male country singers to NOT have frosted and straightened hair

Cecily K

Welcome to Grand Re-Opening Week and the first in a series of Magnificent Moms and Rad Dads.  Today I’m introducing you to Cecily K, a pink-haired rocker chick from Philly who writes for Momcrunch at Babble in addition to her personal blog, Uppercase Woman.  If you like her, follow her and let her know I sent you her way.  I’m not getting anything out of it, but the street cred would be good.

[The questions may seem random, but they were all based on her blog]

You started blogging in 2004, which kind of makes you a pioneer chick (of sorts).  Why did you start blogging when it wasn’t hip, cool and trendy?

 I started blogging mostly to update my friends about my infertility treatments and to ease the incredible loneliness I felt while undergoing treatments. Blogging allowed me to join an online community of other women going through the same thing. I didn’t have any real life friends undergoing the craziness of infertility, so my online friends became my refuge.

What’s your favorite opera? (Not that I would actually know any)

Bizet’s The Pearl Fishers.

Since you’re a country music fan I’ll ask you something that’s been bugging me for years. What’s the deal with Billy Ray Cyrus?

I’m an old school and traditional country fan, so I don’t get Billy Ray Cyrus either. Generally I prefer my male country singers to NOT have frosted and straightened hair. I think Dolly Parton has one of the purest voices in the history of humanity, and I think most current country singers pretty much suck. Although I’m possibly coming around to Taylor Swift.

What’s it like being near the top of the parent blogging food chain?  I ask because I can’t see much from all the way down here.

Why people think I know I’ll never understand. I’m totally D list here. I’m like the Kathy Griffin of mom bloggers.

What do you most like to write about?

Politics and spirtuality.

Where do you stand on orange Jello?

I love all artifical orange flavored things.

Where can a guy get a wicked good cheese steak in Philly?

I prefer Geno’s.

What’s the deal with long memes?

Dude, I don’t know. I haven’t done a meme in years.

What’s next for you as a blogger?

God willing, a book.

Anything else we should know?

I dunno. Probably. 🙂
