Surfing & Sharing
It's been a long time since I have been able to sit down and really browse the blogosphere and read blogs; I miss it. Tonight, however, in between working on my BIG project and eating ice cream, I have been catching up on reading my comments from this past week (I have never been behind before and I don't want to miss a single one!) and I have come across a few interesting blogs you may want to visit. So, you come here, read this post, leave a note that says "happy Saturday, Beth! I hope you are sleeping in! Thanks for showing us these new blogs." and I'll wave back and say "sleep in? nope, we've been up since 6:30 an I want to bang my head against the wall. Say, while you are visiting these fine bloggers, make sure you introduce yourself. Everyone loves to meet a new reader, don't you?"
These bloggers sparked my interest.
Jen at Daily Mish Mash has an interesting post about Mother's Day and how commercialized it really is. (this coming from someone who received a Blackberry Curve for Mother's Day two weeks ago. But in my defense, I was going to get one anyway, it's our way of saying "hey we don't buy expensive things for no reason! Let's make it a gift!" and then we do.
Jill @ Live, Laugh, Blog was so inspired about my post about comments that she is having a giveaway for a Starbucks gift card. All comments on this post will be entered to win. What are you waiting for? Get your caffeine on.
Yesterday was West Coast Diva's birthday and well, I really like her, she has been a great source of comfort for me, so it is my hope that you hop over here and wish her the happiest of birthdays. (and read her post regarding her birthday - it's awesome.)
So, that should keep you busy for a little while. See how I take care of you? If you want more, let me know, because there are so many incredible blogs out there. (and I still have to catch up on my comments and my bloglines.) So much to do, so little time. I guess the laundry and the toilet cleaning will have to wait. Thank God.
Happy Saturday.
yea! New blogs to discover.
Happy a beautiful Saturday!

You are one of the very, very few women on this earth who I call Earth Mamas... the ones who envelop the entire earth and everyone in it with the most spiritual love imaginable. You are one special, special lady. My Nana used to tell me that these women are surrounded by angels. We know this is true.

Aww thanks Beth:) What a nice thing for you to say. Yesterday's birthday celebration was sushi and a movie (Ironman) and I have to admit it's not too terribly bad being *cough* f*rty-five:):)

Hi there. Just wanted to say I'm so sorry for the loss of your boys. Four years ago my husband and I lost our two daughters in a car accident. There is nothing like a mother's grief, and it is so encouraging to find other women who are brave in sharing their grief with such grace.
