Here’s a “Story” About A Man and a Full House…

I’ve been using Google Reader for a week now (I’m not scared anymore!), and I can’t tell you how much relief I feel; I’m not missing a thing on all two billion of my most favorite blogs, and I feel like I’m saving time like crazy. I updated my blogroll. At least I think I did. I’ve got blog bookmarks all over the place on this computer!

Anyway, I wanted to give some props to three of my new fave blogs; I hope you’ll check them out if you haven’t already. (Go on, you know you want to.)

The “Blog” of “Unnecessary” Quotation Marks: Oh my “goodness”!! Mrs4444 turned me onto this one which, for a writer (or a teacher!), is either a “nightmare” or a “dream”. It depends on how you look at it. I don’t think I need to say more about it; check “it” out!

Dear Mr. Man is written by–who else?–Mr. Man. I connected with him through Dad Blogs, and he is a great guy. He is a husband and dad of two, and I like his blog alot because it is thought-provoking. Many of his posts are in question/answer form, like this one. He writes timely pieces that beg for discussion, like the recent “Burger King, Have you lost your damn mind???” I have enjoyed getting to know Mr. Man on the internets, and I think you should get to know him, too! Mr. Man is also on Twitter: follow him here.

This Full House is written by Liz, a wife (of Garth, not his real name) and mom of four. The six of them live in a house with seven rooms. That in itself would insure the comedic factor, but the funny is tripled by Liz’s hilarious writing. She recently called me her “mommy-porn muse”, which made my day. I mean, how many times do you get called something as fabulous as that??? I love reading Liz’s blog because she is also the mom of teens, and we moms of teens have really got to stick together, you know? She and I have shared a lot through twitter too (follow her here), like the time she was complaining about her cat’s barfing habits:

Liz: Why do the animals always choose to puke on the carpet and NOT the floor…oh, and the kids, too…seriously!?!?

Me: I think you have to train them to do that. (the animals, that is) That’s what I did with my dog. Only trick she knows. LOL

Liz: Cat puked on the dining room rug and then moved to the living room rug, missing all the floor space in between, you’re welcome!

Me: I think my beagle just ate a piece off a live rabbit before it hopped away. I expect the pukeage to begin at any moment…

Liz: You win.

I can’t wait to bond over more puke stories with Liz at BlogHer in July. Wait, that doesn’t sound good, does it?

Anyway, check out these three blogs; heck, add them to your reader! And tell ’em Melisa sent you!

    Yet, more proof that we are indeed soul sisters of the Twittering puke 🙂 Can’t wait to meet and hang with you in Chicago, figuratively speaking of course. Then again, my bras are pretty beat up and…well…nevermind.

    I just imported all my blogs (except for the private ones) into google reader too – only I did it on my work account, instead of the one that my blog is attached to… I figure, people will be able to figure out that it’s still me 😉
    Definite time saver!

    I’m going over and checking these blogs out asap. They sound great! And I can join right in on the cat puke stories, too! The Google Reader and I still have to make friends. Great post.

    Kewl – will have to check those out! Cuz if *you* say they’re good, well, they HAVE to be, right?

  • Michelle

    Oh. Yeah. Because I NEED more blogs to read 😉

    And ummm it’s possible to teach cats. I kind of hold my cats over the sink when they start making that special noise.
