- Renee from A Beautiful Day in the Reneeborhood has just opened her very own Etsy shop. She has some really cute frames, so be sure to check out Rhapsody in Glue.

- By now you should all be aware of the 20SB meet-up. I want to remind you that this isn’t closed to our 30-something friends. Stay tuned for updates here if you’re not a part of the 20SB ning group. Right now, people are researching the top three cities (Chicago, NY and Boston).

- The wind beneath my wings, aka Jessica has bestowed me with an award. My only task was to pass it on to seven other awesome bloggers.

Each of the Two

- Cleveland’s a Plum and her friend Kerri put together a funny video in honor of the Olympics: A balance beam routine…sans beam. Enjoy

- New Blog Launches: Who’s Your Dachshund and Oh! How Lovely Shops.

- Vacations: Jennifer is currently in Amsterdam and will be in Madrid (for a whole year!) before the month is over. Follow along with her travel blog. Brandy has returned from Mexico and Dan Mega talks a bit about his trip to Vegas.

- Lots of bloggers are moving…I’m sorry I can’t keep track. We do have two NEW additions to the Chicago bloggers though! Renee and in a couple of weeks The Maiden Metallurgist will be here.

I think that wraps up this week’s smorgasbord of blogs. If you’re moving, have a new blog or want to share your vacation recap, feel free to leave links in the comments.

That silly Universe is at it again.

Always listen to your doubts, J.

Not just because they might teach you of your fears, but because, sometimes, they might teach you of your wisdom.

I was given the Blog of Distinction Award! Doesn’t that make me sound mega smart? Super fuck yeah it does!

Much thanks to the splendiferous Heidi for thinking I’m mega something \
