You've Got A Friend In Blogs


I am participating (well I'm going to attempt to participate) in the 3rd annual Diabetes Blog Week

Today's prompt was to find a friend - in other words find a blog that I haven't read before or have maybe read occasionally but want to read more frequently.

There are countless dblogs (well maybe not countless like Real numbers which are uncountable - learned that recently {sort of I still had to check if the uncountable numbers were real or natural} from a friend that makes my brain hurt with all her math jargon - what can I say I'm a sucker for nerd awesomeness).
Sorry - digressed -
My point is though that I could likely spend every hour of everyday for an entire month and not find, let alone read all the dblogs available on the net. Luckily a wonderful list has been compiled for me (yup it was made just for me - well also the other hundred or so people participating in this years Annual Diabetes Blog week THE list.
While pursuing the list I saw many of my favorite blogs as well as some that I forgot I liked because I am not an organized person and I don't remember to bookmark them or better yet add a link to the blog(s) on my blog so I can find it easily and others can too. (I also have a hard time with run on sentences and too many parenthesis - admitting it is the first step to recovery) Thus - in addition to attempting to write each day of dblog week I will also be updating my blogroll on my blog. If you find my silly little corner here on the net and you have an awesome blog that I haven't included in my blogroll please shoot me an email or send me a tweet so I can add you. On twitter I am momof2t1s - keeping it simple.

On to my post:
I just found Jen with BHS - thank you List. I've read Sarah's blog before and enjoyed it each time but always forgot to bookmark. Alexis is a favorite of mine. Amber is a new one for me but I think we are going to be great friends - the other Amber I know seems to like me a bit.


 Jen From Blue Heel Society I love this particular post - Don't Quit - wish I had a cool teacher like Jen had.

Sarah/@SmartDpants I love this post by Sarah because she clearly feels my pain in regards to #5 - how difficult could it be to allow the meter to have the same information as the pump.

Alexis Nicole Chronicles of D-Boy and Ribbon I love this post because Alexis understand all that it means to be a mom to cwd - of course she is stressed and tired and angry but with all that she is able to keep humor center stage.

Amber Cliff Notes I clicked on this blog from THE List because I like the name Amber (a lot) and I knew the moment I started reading I was going to like both Amber and her blog. The pics are great and I can't wait to check out the FB page. Turns out I was already following dear Amber on Twitter but I don't recall ever visiting her blog - that doesn't mean I hadn't - it means I was either drinking heavily at the time or sleep deprived or distracted by unicorns dancing in my office - since I rarely drink I'd go with sleep deprivation which may or may not have included dancing unicorns.

I could spend hours clicking on blogs and reading my night away but I have pillows and bedding to stuff into vacuum bags so I can watch them squish down - I get a real kick out of suffocating my pillows - irony? (I still don't know how to properly use that word - darn you Alanis!)
