When I first stared this blog, Jessica, Oh The Joys, was the first non-family person to leave a comment.
Then I started finding other reads through links.
I remember the first few posts I read of Lori's from This Just In, grabbed me because she reminds me of myself. (Sorry Lori, I don't know if that's a good thing or bad)
Soon I was following Sunshine (Sonia) from ... and the pursuit of happiness. She is a reader and has great reviews, but she is also artsy talented.
You can see my complete blog roll here.
Bossy is funny, quirky, silly, serious.
Hot is not only hot, she's hilarious.
Delmer is an inspiration in losing and maintaining weight loss.
Fightin' Mad Mary is all Hollywood in-the-know. I'm obsessed with her sightings and her decorating.
I wish I live next door to Mrs. G at Derfwad Manor ... we'd sit on her porch sipping wine waiting for Johnny Depp to stop by.
Jen at Get In the Car is my kindred spirit ... err, should I say kindred alien?
Amie, Mamma Loves, Steph, Lawyer Mama, Joan at Southern Suburbia, Beth, Mary Alice , Kristebella and TX Poppet at Canned Laughter, all have me coming back to follow their daily stories, their trials and tribulations. I care about them all.
The out-of-the-country bloggers ... Pink, Sherry, Dkuroiwa, and Linda are also on my must read list. Wonderful women, wonderful "girl-freennnds"
This isn't just a linky love post ... highlighting the people I have come to really care about, pray for, laugh and cry with.
No, it's also about the bloggers that capture my attention just because they are good looking.
Ya'll should know me by now. [smirk]
Now, I think I will go read his archives and see what's behind the looks.
P.S. By all means, feel free to leave a link to your fave good read or good looks blogs in comments. And the good looks ones? Umm, can they be single and over 40? Thank you.
Remember when I went to ER thinking I was having a heart attack?
Remember after 8 hours of EKG, x-rays, blood work, monitoring and tests, they decided I didn't have any heart problem? And that they didn't know what the pain was, but gave me a shot, waited until the pain was gone then released me?
I got my hospital, attending physician, and lab bill.
$3,575.92
(why don't they just round it up to $3,576.00)
I think we need some serious health insurance reform in this country.
Me: Are you hungry?
Sandi: No, but when ever you are ready, we can stop.
So we go into J. Jill. I never have luck there. I always think I can get similar things for half the price at TJ Maxx or Marshalls. I leave with a $39.00 pair of jean capri's.
Me: Do you want to eat at Brio Tuscan Grille or PF Changs?
Sandi: Either is fine. Are you hungry now?
Me: No, I can wait.
As we walk past Coldwater Creek, I make the observation that store has "old lady" clothes in it. Sandi tells me she's bought things from there. Oops!
Me: I could eat some ice cream. (As we walk past Nestle's ice cream parlor)
Sandi: I'll wait to go to the Dairy Treat by your house.
We went into Urban Outfitters. We stop to look at the books. It's Sandi's turn to pick the book for her next book club read.
Me: Hey Sandi, look here, I think I found your next book.
(Yes, it was stacked next to Obama's book)
Flipping through the pages, we saw a fireman in need of a hose. A monkey holding the peel of a banana, a bun just waiting for a hot dog and a few other "unfinished" pictures.
Sandi: Look, this air freshener can double as a bookmark.
( You can tell how we laugh and crack loud jokes & everyone gives us funny looks shop together right?)
Me: It's time, Brio's it is, I'm hungry.
So what do we order? Mmmmm so good, here is the recipe.
Raspberry Bellini
1 bag frozen unsweetened raspberries, thawed
2 tablespoons sugar
1 bottle (750-ml) chilled Champagne
Blend the raspberries and sugar in a food processor or blender until pureed. Strain the raspberry puree through a sieve; discard the seeds, if you wish. Set up 6 Champagne flutes and put about 1 tablespoon of raspberry puree in each glass. Add Champagne to each glass; stir gently and serve.
My shopping trip with my sister Sandi was really to spend time together, I don't need anything.
Like the capri's, the 3 tops from Eddie Bauer, the necklace, bracelet and earrings from Brighton, the top from H&M, or the shoes from DSW.
As soon as Bryan leaves the house, Bently waits, watching out the window. When I call him down, he mopes over to me and tries to get on my lap. Yeah, that vicious, mean Pit Bull.
He really has been fun and funny. I'm still surprised he's so well behaved and totally follows my commands. Doesn't say much about my ability to train 10 lb. Quinn does it? I don't have to change my tone or talk stern when I want him to do something. I just speak in my regular voice and tell him once.
I'll probably try to keep him when Bryan moves out. On second thought .... NOT.
