So, two different bloggers have mentioned me in the last month and I'm so honored! Honestly, I make so little effort online to keep up my blog, I'm always shocked when someone finds and follows me and I build an online relationship with them.
First is Trying To Be Normal Since Last Tuesday. She told people I give good book recommendations. If she had flat out told me she loved me, she could not have been kinder. (The day I suspected I would be good friends with Helen is the day we were discussing book and based on her interests I told her to read Tam Lin by Pamela Dean and she told me that she had an autographed version already. A person who has your same reading history and interests is a good person to cultivate as a friend.) To be fair, I first started following her blog because I realized we were some how making the same sewing projects. But to then also discover that she shares my love of good books and my hate of germs and dirt? Fantastic.
Second is First Time Mom. I found her at her previous blog. How? I googled "tired of being pregnant" and there it was. I had found my soul mate -- someone who hated pregnancy as much as I did. Ugh, I still hate pregnancy no matter how much I adore my babies. She is now blogging about being a mom with devotion and energy, but she's not telling me about her kale smoothies, her love of doing yoga with her baby, or how she spent five hours creating a whole black/white/red environment to best accommodate her babies sense of sight. Because that's normally who I read and they send me into shame spirals. When I read April's blog, I come away thinking, "Hee, yeah, I do that."
So, thanks for the shout out, ladies.
