Karen's Blog of the Week: An Unexplored Wilderness!
I hope you all have some fun plans. I'm going to be busy clearing a space on my bookshelves for a very exciting package that's being delivered next week. I can't wait to share the news with all of you. It's really exciting!
Anyway, enough about me. Today's post is all about y'all. And first up, we've got the Blog of the Week: An Unexplored Wilderness!
Renee is a lovely and talented writer who, like many of us, blogs about life in general. She writes about whatever she feels like, and she's dang good at it, whether it's Michael Vick's return to the NFL or hitting her face on the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico or getting dragged out of bed crazy late/early to see Jupiter. And that was all just this week!
So go visit Renee's blog. She's awesome!

Good gracious. Y'all have written some really good stuff this week and I would have linked up every bit of it if I had that kind of time. But I don't. So here are a few of my very favorites:
Michelle from ~Psalm 104:24~ wrote this post about whether or not to keep God out of our Facebook statuses.
Jade from Now that I'm no longer 25 had this thought-provoking and insightful post about the graffiti in Naples.
Nikol from Nikol's Random Thoughts had a funny story about a gift from her father-in-law to her son.
Lisa from Just Lisa, No Filler told a very sweet and romantic story about something that happened to her once at a bookstore. It's the stuff of movies, people.
Jennee from Cheap Therapy wrote about a really dumb guy and the way certain things bring back floods of memories.
Nathan Bransford shared a great defense of absent and oft-deceased parents in childrens' literature.
Melanie from Write Stuff wrote about 58 cents that changed her entire day.
And finally, Dan from Single Dad Laughing (yes, last week's BotW) blew up the internet with this post about the Disease of "Perfection." It's a must read.

And the last item of business for today, the Comment of the Week goes to ScoMan for his comment on this week's Face it! Friday post:
Organisation. That's what I need. Every Friday I tell myself "I need to get some boxes from the post office and box up all my old Uni books and magazines".. and every Friday I find another reason not to. This weekend though I'm going to do something that has been on my "to do" list for a long time. Watch the whole series two of the Big Bang Theory on DVD in one day.Well, that's it for this week, friends! Be sure to go and check out some of these awesome bloggers. And say hi so they know you stopped by!

I just gave you a blog award!!! Check my awards page!
ReplyDeleteI had the opposite sort of week. Mine flew by, and I'm only now able to do some catching up while staffing my parents' garage sale.
ReplyDeleteNow that, watching an entire season of Big Bang Theory in one day I mean, sounds like a very good way to spend a day!
ReplyDeleteBlog of the Week on Saturday? What's going on? I haven't mentioned it yet, but I love that you have changed things up with featuring not only a blog, but great posts (even though I don't always have time to read them.) I can't imagine how much work this is for you to do, but it is quite awesome.
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling of wanting to get something done...and then just not doing it. I call it 'having the lazies'.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love Big Bang Theory! I've been wanting to watch my 1st & 2nd season DVDs but I haven't gotten around to it...
I love your blog. I stopped over from The Lady Bloggers Tea Party and I am staying!

Hi Karen! Firstly thank you for visiting my blog and your kind comments. I see we have several similarities in our worlds. I'm also trying to get published and basically blog about life. I love Renee's blogs. She was one of the first people I met. I've not been blogging very long and it's proving to be huge fun. I'll check out the above blogs. Hubby's cheesed off with me because I spend all weekend reading, chuckling and musing over peeople's posts and totally neglect him. maybe I should learn to multi task a bit more. How do you manage to do so much? Just become your latest follower.
