For Your Reading Pleasure...

Just a quick note to let you know I've made a few little changes around here. Over the past several months I've been bookmarking a bunch of new blogs that either make my sides hurt with their funny, or inspire me with beautiful photography and musings, or the bloggy trifecta of all three--humor, eye-candy AND musings. Yay!

Today, to celebrate my first bit of "me" time in a few weeks, I have parked my butt at Starbucks (a little bit different from what my fabulous friend Kita is doing today to celebrate her first 4 hours of me-time in 4 years) to read blogs and finally update my blog roll. The list is getting a bit unwieldy and I guess now I understand why people make separate pages for it; but if you're consumed by the ADD like me, you rarely click on the "blog roll" link on other peoples' blogs. But if I can see the link right there in front of me, I am far more likely to mosey on over to a new blog and check it out. And I want you to check these blogs out because they are fabulous and I love them and I like to share the love. So there.

I also added a new set of links for blogs having to do with healthy living, weight loss and just your basic all around happy-with-who-I-am type of blog links. I have found tremendous inspiration through these blogs not only at 4pm when I have no idea what to make for dinner, but also when the alarm goes off at 6am and I SO. DO. NOT. WANT. TO. GO. RUNNING. And speaking of that, yeah. I have to get moving on that. So now that the links are right there in front of me and I don't have to click three times to find them in my bookmarks (see ADD above), I am far more likely to suck up that inspiration and go hit the road.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy some of the links I've added. I am also planning on adding a section of book blogs. I have officially joined a book club here (SQUEEEE!!!) and am really looking forward to talking about books again! Hopefully I'll find the motivation to start up my Frustrated English Teacher blog again, but if not, I might start just adding some random reviews here on Mama Sarahndipity. As Ethan grows and I become a bit more protective of his stories, I might shift some focus here to books, my life outside of being Super Mom (ha!) and what not. It's all about change, which used to scare the bejeeezus out of me (see almost any of my posts in the past. really.) but now I tend towards embracing Change. It's all good.

ps - i should add that my "to do" and "i did" lists are going to be very much at odds with each other!

Me! Hey, thanks. I'm the same way - I NEVER click through to a separate blog roll page. I'm much more likely to click if it's all on the same page.

I love my book club. What book are you reading now?
