In Praise of Mir

This week on Mommybloggers, we are proud to feature Mir of Woulda Coulda Shoulda. With her razor-sharp wit and flair for spinning stories about her daily life into an engaging read, Mir has captured the attention of countless readers. We love her self-deprecating humor and the no-holds-barred look she offers into her life.

We invited several of Mir's admirers to tell us a bit about why they love Mir. We giggled our way through the many comments we received. While we would love to feature all of the comments of praise we received, we decided to feature some of our favorites. Just between you and us, the truth is that if we praise her too much, Mir may stop with the self-deprecating humor and we certainly can't have that. Who doesn't love to read about a haircut gone wrong or a pair of funky boots that just don't fit the bill when it comes to getting Internet approval? We at Mommybloggers love that about her. (But seriously, if you must, you should feel free to tell us and Mir how much you love her anyway. She deserves it!)


Author of the bestselling book "gods in Alabama" Joshilyn Jackson was more than happy to dish about our beloved Mir and had no problem discussing the delicate issue of her mentality:

I read Mir every day---she has more to do with my good morning than my coffee, so small wonder we became friends. She says I like her because when I stand next to her I look tall. And sane. But I submit that her mental illness would fit inside the overhead compartment. It's not like she has so much excess baggage she has to *check* it, you know? The tall thing doesn't hurt though.

When we asked Kira to share a bit about Mir, she was thrilled to be able to gush about her:

Mir is everything you could want in a blog read, of course; funny and insightful and smart and bitingly observant. But more than that, I've been privileged to know her as a friend, and I count her among my very dearest. She has a heart so big and good that it trips her up at times, but blesses everyone she loves. If she only had a penis, I'd totally be marrying her soon. As it is, I'll settle for the friendship of such an extraordinary soul. PS She has a gift for shopping that has to be seen to be believed. I am in awe.

Sheryl was more than happy to share with us her adoration of Mir:

I've been reading Mir since she started her blog a year and a half ago. She's a unique combination of hilarious and philisophical. She can make you snort diet coke through your nose by describing something as mundane as packing lunch for her kids, but sometimes she sneaks up on you and reveals some deep insight that makes you reflect on your own life. And if that weren't enough insentive to read her religiously, how could you reisist the creator of the momune?

Jim Turner jumped at the chance to give us some insight into his friend and co-worker, Mir:

Mir currently works for me at Bloggers For Hire. I recommended Mir to be the writer for a blog client because of her whimsical style and the intelligence she portrays. The client was bowled over by her writing and is very pleased. I knew they would be as soon as they agreed to let her try and after they saw her writing style.

I've read Mir for over a year now and have rejoiced in her peaks and prayed for her during valleys. She is truly a wonderful blogger. She RAWKS!

Karen was excited to dish about Mir and couldn't wait to tell us the real behind the scenes scoop on her friend:

Mir has actually become a very good online friend of mine -- I've been reading her for several months now, and we actually have e-mailed quite a bit in the past. I think what makes Mir so special, in addition to her seering wit and great outlook on life, is that she's so accessible. I've watched other mommy bloggers become quite taken with their newfound fame on the Internet, yet Mir stays refreshingly grounded, and never takes herself too seriously. Coupled with her wry sense of humour (not to mention her fierce love of her children), it would be really hard *not* to be a fan.

We would really love to go on and on with the praise we received about Mir and her writing, but if we did that, we would have to bump her interview. And trust me, you don't want to miss the Mommybloggers interview with Mir. If you think she is funny on her own, wait until you read her answers to asinine questions posed in serious journalistic ways. You, too, will be filling our email inbox with words of praise for Mir.

I agree with them all. Mir is one of life's delights. I read her daily, and I'm pretty sure I adore her. Um, you know.

I love mir. I've told her that so many times that she's about to take out a virtual restraining order for her own protection. She makes the most heartachey parts of mommyhood bearable and funny. Funny, most people can do. Bearable? Takes talent.

I love Mir (Mim to me) because I have a moral obligation to, we're related. But I also really like her. In 34 years there has seldom been a dull moment. Many of them desperate, more of them usually hilarious.
I'm glad she's finally hitting her stride and particularly proud she is such a great Mom.

I've known Mir for 8+ years and love her to bits...The amazing woman you've come to know through her writing is the same person I've adored and proudly called my friend all these years. The honesty and raw emotion she pours into her writing continue to touch me and make me love her, respect her as a mother and woman, and evny her strength and determination.

Mir has a witty charm that is just lovely.

According to the Federal Reserve, Americans carry on average, $5,800 in credit card debt from month to month. Making the minimum monthly payment on that debt would take 30 years to pay off and include an additional $15,000 in interest. According to the Administrative Office of the Courts, 2,078,415 bankruptcies were filed in 2005, the largest number of bankruptcy petitions ever filed in any 12-month period in the history of the federal courts. With mounting credit card debt and the new tougher bankruptcy laws, people are looking for alternative ways of managing their debts. Debt consolidation loans have become a popular way to free up money each month by consolidating several monthly credit card payments into a single lower interest loan. But, the question is whether it's best to consolidate your debts into a home equity loan or an unsecured debt consolidation loan.

We currently have three plans in which you can purchase investment units. They range from low risk at 4% per week interest, med at 8% per week interest to high risk at 12% per interest.

Unlike HYIPS and autosurfs our plans are designed to become less risky as more people invest and over the life of the investment. With every unit purchased 20% of the purchase value is put into a reserve fund. As well a weekly contribution is made into this reserve fund from the weekly investment that are made. These Reserve funds back investments incase of loss on investment. Please see the site for full information on how the reserved funds accounts work. Real investments are made by us in each plan, and each plan is independent for the others. This is not a HYIP where money is just changing hands.

We also offer a 2% bonus on all your referals deposits
