what i'm reading

Oh you know I'm not above it, I will tag myself. Even though I have done this meme before in it's original state this one is different because it has a shocking twist. Okay it's not so much shocking and not even much of a twist. Just a different take on the old Seven Random things meme. It's also an idea I totally stole from Suzel's Sass, who I love and not just because she said some very nice things about me.

So who am I reading? Well in no particular order;

bleeding espresso....: One of my first regular commenters (I do so love the comments). She shares my love of cooking although she is clearly a better cook than I. She also takes pictures that make me want to move to Italy. Although I have to admit it would be easier, for me, if she just moved here. She could take awesome pictures of here and we could totally hang out together.

Auntie Dar's Life: Oh my Darlene, one of my real life BFF's. It was me who gave her this peek into the blogging world and now she is totally addicted. Her blog is an eclectic mix of her life, what she finds on the internet that amuses her and pictures. I love her even if her blog won't let me comment 95% of the time.

Merry and Dewey in Canada: My blogging friend from the prairies who has the sweetest brand new baby boy (such hair that kid has) and let's not forget baby's big brother and sister. If she lived in my neighbourhood we'd be hanging out in each other's backyards, taking the kids on walks and sharing books. She'd probably be sick of me in five minutes.

virtually there: Another blogging buddy who needs to live closer because she bakes bread, has a funny funny three year old and her baby doesn't sleep at night either. We must be soul mates, except I don't have the patience for the bread thing anymore. Also I have it on good authority that she's an all around nice person. Just the kind of people I like. Also she's a Karen and I have yet to meet a Karen I didn't love.

Sass Attack: She lives in New York city. That instantly makes her the coolest person I "know". Plus I kind of like to imagine her life is just like Friends. That may be because I've just watched the last 5 seasons on DVD, but whatever. She's cute and she's funny.

Heather Speaks Her Mind: This is as close as you get to family without technically being family, Heather being my sister-in-law's sister and all. She is incredibly funny and I have never spent time with her that I haven't laughed my face off. And since her sister (and my brother) steadfastly refuses to move any closer I figure I could start working on Heather. Maybe I can get her to crack and move into my 'hood.

Suzel's Sass; Oh my she's a funny one. Sometimes she almost makes my apple cider vinegar water come out my nose. Now if she was the girl next door, you better believe we'd have a standing weekly date to watch The Office together. Oh and Office marathons to kick of the new season. I'll even make the snacks, you bring the Dwight bobblehead.

So, that's my seven. For now. I do read a ton more blogs than that. Way more that I probably have time for, but you guys are all so awesome. Don't be surprised if you see this meme pop up again so I can share the love.

Yay! This is a fun meme...hmm....

I love what you said about Karen; isn't it nice when there's a name that you associate with good? I've had the opposite experience (won't mention the name here for risk of offending), and it's quite sad :(

Btw, I think you need to cut the paragraph after my description and past it at the end. Damn editing :)

If you are making snacks, I will bring the boblehead. When the Office returns, we will have many conversations my friend!!

Shan said...

Michelle - thanks for pointing that out. I'm not really sure how I did that. I guess that's what happens when you're too sleepy to proof read:) And yes it is nice. Linda is another one of those names. I have a lot of great Lindas in my life.

Darlene - no you're the best.

Suzel - Deal! Can't wait!

Merry said...

Thanks!!!! If only I could get around to posting more. It takes so much longer when you have to type w/one hand.....guess I should put the baby down occasionally!

Karen said...

You are soooo nice. And I feel exactly the same way about you. I love that I've met some great friends through blogging - I've been thoroughly surprised by that. Happily surprised for sure.
