A new and very awesome Chicago blogger, Jessica, has a question for everyone in the Blogosphere. Go check out her blog and help a beautiful girl out!

My mom is new to the blog world having only joined last weekend. I invite you to read about her wake-up call or tell her how you feel about jury duty. Super f-word yeah!

I know I did one of those pay-it-forward posts a few months back. I think that may have been before anyone read my blog. Did anyone comment and NOT receive a package? Let me know! A lot of bloggers are paying it forward: Jamie, Cheryl, Angela, and Kristen.

d has given me a tremendous amount of hope with his two-part story about him and his ex-girlfriend. If you’re going through a rocky patch in your relationship, I recommend reading his story. It let me know that sometimes breaking up is really the best thing you can do in order to preserve the good memories. Just because you aren’t together doesn’t mean you can’t care about each other. Very good posts!

Some earthquake blogs.

Im a mom, forty something. I know what a blog is but I have never done one. I came across this site while researching for a paper for my “E-commerce” class.

Dammit!

That’s it. I’m saving up for a trip and making a surprise guest appearance (slash party crash) this blog gathering of every blog I read!

I gotta give it d too. I think when the relationship can end before the respect does, that’s what’s possible. I haven’t done it yet but hopefully one of these days I’ll get it right. Does right mean a decent break-up or a solid relationship? Maybe both.

I did Julie’s Madlibs. Sizzle’s birthday. I’m working on the SO for Chicago. His sister lives there so technically I could pawn him off on his sister and hang with you guys!
