Hi friends!
Well, I’m feeling super discombobulated as I’m ending a stressful day at work (why is it that work feels *that* much more stressful and hectic before vacation? I mean, really, that’s just not nice…and it’s only 3 work days, not even a full week!), and while I have a few thoughts percolating for blog posts, they are swirling in my brain mindlessly so I tuck them away for later.
And since I have been blessed with some new readers that have some pretty fantastic blogs, I thought I’d share a few more with ya’ll, since I haven’t done one of these little recaps lately. Here goes:
- Sylvest Walsh’s blog: The fact that the subtitle of her blog is “the stronger the wind, the tougher the trees” is one indication of why I love her blog (so far!). She has a really cool reason for the title of her blog, she too is divorced and I find a lot of what she says I can totally relate to (and I must say, she read Snark‘s ENTIRE blog in a couple of nights after stumbling across it, I think, from mine…how very cool is that?! And um, check out her ‘reality checks‘ – they are hysterical.
- Magnolia: She’s just about 30 (woohoo for 30!), going towards a graduate law degree, and I just love her writing. And she’s super sweet in all she writes in response to my posts. Touched. Much more I need to dig into on hers.
- Life Uncensored: I was really lucky to meet Ronda at Bloggers in Sin City in May as she is also divorced (and around my age) and is writing about dating and post-divorce life, and well, just some really honest writing that I love. We definitely see eye to eye on a lot and heck, she is a runner too *high five* Check her out.
- cattails.me: Another friend from Bloggers in Sin City and another post-divorce find…and she just celebrated her divorce-sary today – you’re awesome, you’re a beautiful writer and I love what you have to say!
So, there you have it – a few new reads to my ever-expanding blogroll (no idea how I manage to somewhat keep up with everyone but I do try, because reading all of your blogs is like reading a good book you don’t want to put down, and you are all part of my family in a way. XO all!
…and now back to cleaning and packing for M-A-I-N-E! Woo! π

I’m always a frazzled mess right before vacation. I’m trying really hard not to even think about the RT yet! Thought it was hard not to with all the shirt talk today LOL. Just relax and go with the flow π
July 15, 2010 at 7:08 pm
LOL! all that shirt talk – hey, it got me through the day! I hate being frazzled, feeling better now yet I need to go pack π And ahhh! RT in two weeks!!!

Aw thanks, Love. I wish you and I had more one on one time at BiSC, I think we have a lot in common to commiserate over. We should get together again.
Have a great vacation!
July 16, 2010 at 8:56 am
I know, me too! But hey, we’re still able to “get to know” each other this way, but I wish we realized how much in common we had, beyond the divorce thing, then, but it was sort of a crazy few days huh?! Thanks for the vaca wishes…looking forward to it!

Aw shucks – I LOVE when I see (or am told) that I’m on a blogroll – makes my day too!! Yay! It is hard to keep up isn’t it? My blog subscriptions and blogroll is out of control π
