Blog Reader

I have been doing a lot of blog hopping lately. Don't worry, I have lots to write about (just in case you were worried) but there are a lot of people out there far more talented than I....and their stuff is awesome.

I have of course my good old go-to favorites that I visit frequently. Unfortunately Helen from I Forgot Where I Was Going With This, who I consider the most super awesome blog sensai of hilariousness ever, has been out due to surgery on her karate choppin'/blog writing arm. I wish her well and not-so-patiently await her triumphant return to writing!

While I am a loyal follower of my old blog friends (like Suzie and Wifey) I also enjoy meeting new people! I made a lot of new friends during the Ultimate Blog Party 2009 and they have become fast favorites. Favorites like Kirsty from Momedy who besides being super sweet and having just the most adorable blog look (why yes, that is shameless self promotion!) also has the. most. hilarious. posts. I wish I had read the post about dogs fulfilling the need to have a new baby about 36 1/2 weeks ago!

I kid. Mostly.

I was also lucky enough to meet Jessie from Muthering Heights, the owner of an alternately sweet and adorable blog as well as two even more adorable little girls. Besides her excellent writing, there is a definite connection in finding another pregnant-with-their-third mommy writer. I love her posts and relate to them so easily, especially her recent post about her little unborn Krump dancer.

I there are many blogs that I frequent and love (see:my blogroll for a list of must-reads!) but I still continue seeking out new bloggy friends. The reason is two fold. First of all you can never have enough fun things to read (am I right?) and secondly-I'll admit-I love the idea of more and more people visiting me here at my own humble page. Getting lots of visitors and even (OH JOY!!) comments makes me very happy (and kind of codependent I guess).

I used to think that my codependency neediness desire to have visitors and commenters was just yet another sign that I am a sad sad little hermit lady...but it turns out there are LOTS of other lady bloggers that feel just like me! [If I'm not the only one, then I must not be that bad, right?] I stumbled upon The Secret is in the Sauce (also known as SITS) and boy am I glad I did! Not only is it great promotion for my own little blog, but I have found some great blogs via their site.

Blogs like Just Lisa, No Filler, which recently posted a sweetly hilarious post about the questions her little girl asks, and Mommy? I'm Hungry! which not only shares some delicious recipes for things like Sugar Doughnut Muffins and Cold Chicken Pasta Salad but also has the most drool worthy food pictures I have ever seen. I can literally taste that food through the photos...and it is tasty.

I just love reading your blogs, and I am so looking forward to returning again and again to my bloggy friend's pages-both old and new! You guys are some amazing people...and good writers too!

And no, I'm not just saying that so that you'll keep visiting and leave comments. Though I wouldn't be sad if you did.
