The Thinker Continued...

After yesterday’s post about blogging, I started thinking about the blogs that I enjoy reading and why. I thought that I would share them with you:

My absolute favorite and first is Crazy Aunt Purl. I have been reading her blog now for over three years. Perhaps it’s just because she took my blogging virginity, but I have an affinity for her. I have watched her survive her divorce with four cats, learn how to knit, rediscover dating, and write a book about it all.

The second favorite is Confessions of a Pioneer Woman. I live vicariously through her. Since she lives out in the secluded country, and that is where I hope to be someday, I guess I feel I need to get ideas from her on how not to go crazy…even though she already is.

The other two are Dad Gone Mad and Dooce. I like these two because of their humor, mixed with seriousness. It puts it out there and in your face, and you can take it or leave it. They don’t care. That’s what I love about blogs. It’s also the hardest thing for me to get. I have not made this blog public because I guess it would crush my little ego to have some miserable individual comment that I am an idiot. I only have one thing to say: "Hey genius, I know I’m an idiot. Why else would I throw out my personal thoughts on the INTERNET for brilliant people like you to read and comment rudely about?" See…it wouldn’t be pretty. Sadly, I am still working on that whole “sticks and stones” thing.
