Karen's Blog of the Week: Diamond Potential!
Which means it's time to announce that the Blog of the Week is: Diamond Potential!
I consider Holly one of my real-life friends, even though we only met once, four years ago. But it was EPIC.
Telling the complete story of how Holly and I know each other is going to reveal my inner
You see, a couple of years ago, while looking up information about a little-known but completely
And then, about a year later, Patrick decided to go back to Broadway after a long hiatus, appearing in a revival of Neil Simon's play, Barefoot in the Park. A bunch of us got up the guts to meet in person in New York City to see the show. I was one of them. And so was Holly.
I lived in Utah at the time and Holly lived in Riverside, California. And it was about six weeks later that she moved to Utah and I moved to Riverside, California. We missed each other by, seriously, a matter of days.
But we've kept in touch via Facebook and blogging and email and she is a really amazing woman. She's been through so many things in her life, and yet she is one of the most positive, happy people I know. She's so much fun to be around. It's impossible to be in a bad mood when you're talking to Holly. She's also a talented photographer and an awesome blog friend!
You'll be doing yourself a favor by getting to know Holly. So go visit. Right now.
And then come back and check out some of these links to a few of my favorite blog posts from this week:
Misty, from Handbags and Handguns, gave the run down of how to guarantee she will unfollow your blog. It's possible that I might share one or two of these sentiments.
ScoMan, from This is ScoMan, wrote a post a couple of weeks ago that I'm throwing in here because I just read it this week and it's hilarious. Anonymous pranks are the best.
Tia, of Clever Girl Goes Blog fame, wrote this great post about marriage and the reality of perfection.
Dan, from Single Dad Laughing, got all brave and posted his yearbook photos from 7th grade to graduation. The pictures are good for a chuckle. The commentary is priceless.
Janet, from Stuff I Think About, shared a very funny story about her experience at the Workforce Development Career Center. It's really sad those people have jobs and she doesn't.
And finally, the infamous Kristina at Pulsipher Predilections shared this hodge podge post about such important and timely topics like her awesome communication with her husband and why Rachael Ray is as evil as Mario Lopez. I've always liked Rachael Ray, and this post even got ME hating her a little.
I hope you've all had a great week. What gems have you found this week in the blogoverse? Head over to my BlogFrog community
