Suddenly *Not So* Single Journey

Best blog find…

Author: thenicknick

Uh.  It’s like asking me to pick a favorite child.  But if Gwen Bell wants me to tell you about my best blog find, then I’ll tell you about my best blog find…just as soon as I figure it out.  And I have to admit, since I’ve started blogging I’ve become something of a think out loud kind of person.  So, here it goes.  These are the blogs that I would give a gold star and all my blog love to.

Among the blogs that I can’t imagine not reading, the ones that I naturally link to, a few are indispensable.  First, I have to tell you that I find in Mir of Woulda Coulda Shoulda to be a kindred spirit.  She writes with such wit and humor that I can’t help but check her blog daily.  And on Thursdays, she writes the most inspiring, heartfelt Love Thursday posts about her kids, her husband, their dog…  She keeps me happy.  Mir, don’t ever change.  Don’t ever stop writing, but if you do, could I have your talent?  Pretty please?

And the next blog that I’ve discovered that I couldn’t live without…Martini Mom.  See, she’s another single mom.  She’s raising her son on her own.  And we moved in with our boyfriends about the same time.  (Okay, I moved in with my boyfriend, she had hers move in with her.  Smart woman.)  And while my relationship went the way of the Titanic (I call the iceberg that sank us M…) her relationship has stayed afloat.  Yay!  She gives me hope.  (Which also floats…)  On top of that, reading her makes me feel smarter.  She always expands my horizons, introduces me to something I wouldn’t have otherwise known whether it be art-of-the-month clubs, or t-shirt clubs, or music.  Again I find myself ready to mention Pomplamoose.  (Yes, I’m sending you to YouTube.  I could’ve sent you to their website, but it’s not nearly as fun.  And I could’ve tried putting video on this site, but I’m not ready to try that this morning.  Still sleepy.  Forgive me?)  So, check out Martini Mom when you get a chance because  she rocks.

And finally, last but most definitely not least, is Dad’s House Blog.  See, I can’t take credit for discovering Dad’s House and its creator, David Mott.  David found me, plucked me from obscurity, and linked to me.  (Don’t get me wrong, I’m still obscure, just not AS obscure.  Big difference.)  I started reading him because he’s funny and witty and wise.  I love his writing style, and given his immense popularity and blogging success, so do MANY others.  (He’s not exactly the best kept secret on the web.)  I love reading him for his male perspective on being a single parent, and for simply writing about being single.  Because of David and his blog, I’ve met so many other bloggers, made more virtual friends, and even had a wonderful new opportunity present itself.  (You know me, I never hold out for long.  All will be revealed in time.  Maybe even next time?  Regardless, soon.)

Forgive me, Gwen Bell.  I couldn’t pick just one.  All of these and many others have impacted my life this past year.  It was hard enough limiting myself to three.  So, hopefully you can give me a little credit for that at least.  Right?
