Addiction

My name is Tammy. And I’m a blog-a-holic.

Hi, Tammy.

Yes. I know I have a problem. You might actually call it an addiction, really. It’s blog-surfing.

Really? Sounds dull…

Sometimes I’m amazed at how much time I can waste on this little habit. The minutes hours fly by as I delve into the lives of strangers. I look at pictures of their cousin’s friend’s wedding, read amazingly clever and really funny real-life stories, cry at their emotional out-pouring after pain or loss, and nearly wet my pants at the hilarious political satire.

Crazy chick.

I’m not sure what the appeal really is? I guess it’s all a bit voyeuristic, actually.

Freaky, crazy chick.

Today I thought I’d lure you into share some of my favorites.

First, my favorite one is Confessions of a Pioneer Woman. I’ve linked it here before. But I have to tell you again because I love her. I read her everyday. She is absolutely funny, candid and has a hottie cowboy husband. Pioneer Woman writes about her life on a working cattle ranch in Oklahoma, her obsession with PhotoShop, her retarded brother Mike, her 3 little punks, her big-city-girl-marries-cowboy life story, hiney-tingles and calf nuts. She takes amazing photographs and has a thing for Ethel Merman. She also writes a food blog with really great recipes called Pioneer Woman Cooks. Definitely check it out!

Cowboys, calf nuts and Ethel Merman? All at the same site? Hmmm…

I’ve recently discovered Circle Jerk at the Square Dance. It is filled with satire and sarcasm. It’s an amusing commentary on the state of the world and a great political blog. Well, that is, if you’re a Liberal. If you are a Bush-ie, you may want to skip this one. Check out his “Best of” list of the right side. God, I wish I was that funny…

Yeah. Me too.

Boobs, Injuries and Dr. Pepper is absolutely hilarious. She is a mom living in Mississippi. But it’s not at all a “mommy blog”. She cusses. A lot. I love how she can make seemingly mundane things very funny. In fact, her blog is like a written version of Seinfeld. With a few f-enhiemers flying around.

One more for you to check out: i am bossy. She is cute, quirky and has this funny way of writing in third-person all the time. And she does really cool stuff with her pictures - she can write on them! I haven't figured out how to do that yet...

Try Googling it, computer nerd.

So there it is. The “best-of” my addictions. Out there for the world to see. Now I need to get on with my day. Thanks for your support at this meeting. Can someone please show me to the door?

Uhhhmmm, yeah…Security?
