Whoohoo, I have a follower, thanks kittenfish! I will totally be able to relate to the whole, just moved to the UK thing'......however, it's been seven years now, and I do hope my memory doesn't go all selective on me!  ;)

No worries, like I said I can be incredibly nosy online and a lot of my down-time is having a coffee and reading everyone's blogs, either on blogger or my friend's list on LJ or whatever :) And blogger for me is turning into expat-central, which is awesome.

And I'm following yours as well, now that I'm getting better with the layout of blogger and how it works :P I'm looking forward to catching up with yours within the next few days, it looks pretty awesome.

i'm adding most of you to my RSS feed with Google Reader, so you might not see stats that I'm looking ,but I am!

For those of you who have problems with remembering to check blogs daily, or have a lot I highly reccomend an RSS reader, and the one I'm most familiar with is Google Reader: http://www.google.com/reader/

After you sign up for it, just go to the sites you want to add and look for a "subscribe via RSS" link on their blog. You also can add a bookmark to your bookmarls that will act as an "add to google reader" button. 

Google Reader also lets you sort blogs into categories, so I have one set up for "friends", "crafts", "cooking", etc.

OMG. Is there a reason I hate my sister?? I emailed her, and let her know I'd just started a blog,was just getting the feel of it, etc. Sent her the link. She emails me back and critiques it. Says to think of it like a resume, employers don't want to read long paragraphs.....WTF?? Why do I ALWAYS forget that she's like this. I emailed her back, and and basically told her to f off. I am NOT applying for a job, that's not the point of a blog, I am NOT trying to impress a potential employer, What is WRONG with her, rather, what's wrong with me, that I always forget that she's like this. GAH! I should've put this in the IA thread. Sorry folks, just had to dump for a sec, what a way to start the day, eh? I'm frickin' in tears now, she upsets me so much. Why do I give her that power.

Sounds so much like my sister -- when my blog gets started I can easily imagine her giving me her unwarranted feedback.

I just pimped my blog, Whoohoo! I'm going to check out all your new posted ones too. Once school starts up again, I'm sure I'll have much more time to blog. Just need to get inspired!

Okay, I'll come out of the closet.  I've been blogging again, and not just on LiveJournal.  I recently restarted my stepmom blog.  Here's the link: http://suddenlystepmom.blogspot.com/.  I'm just about to go out of town for five weeks, so don't expect too much just now, but there should be some good stuff when I get back.  I mostly talk about food, basic cooking skills and fun things we do with the boys. :)
