my (other) sister has a blog! please welcome her to the big bad world of blogging!!
she’s my little sister gretchen, we shared a room for much of growing up — for some reason, we were the two always at each other’s throats. notoriously so. there was the masking tape down the middle of the room, even an allowance made for no-man’s land — a way for both of us to be able to exit the room withOUT infringing on the others’ space. ah, the good old days. i was horrid. we provoked each other. now, we’re quite close. i love her dearly.
and i am SO GLAD she has a blog 
it will be great to keep up with her.
whenever i add someone new to the blogroll, i like to make a post, so people who read here regularly (both of you) can check them out.
so say hello to The Book Lady! she was on my blogroll, and randomly disappeared from the internets.
check her out when you get a chance!
Filed under blogs | Tags: blogroll adds, friends | Comment (1)i tried to clean up my blogroll: there were a couple on there who’d stopped blogging. :/ oops.
but the reason to do so was that i have two great bloggers to add!
one is a new blogger, my sister-in-law, Julie! she’s writing all about her adventures w/her little boy (my nephew). and he is ADORABLE. please do welcome her to the blogosphere.
the second is a seasoned blogger i’ve just come to know recently — Kate of the Walking Kateastrophe. she sounds like she’s possibly as much a klutz as i am! and, as my husband can attest, that’s no small feat. 
she’s hilarious. do visit her, have a laugh.
that’s it – hopefully i’ve remembered to add everyone. if i’ve been visiting your site but haven’t added you, please feel free to remind me. i’m not being mean, just clueless.
randomness
i’ve been a bad blogger lately.
i’ve been reading your blogs, i just haven’t had anything remotely entertaining to write about on my OWN blog.
i got a new cookbook a couple/3 weeks ago — saving dinner. this was on recommendation from my sister (no blog) 
and after i tried it out (thank you library) for a while. it’s a great book. it comes w/shopping lists for each week’s menu. the really good part is that the recipes are good & tasty (for the most part) and easy. we need the easy.
the brother’s homecoming went well — i nearly cried when he was coming down the escalator & we saw him for the first time. it’s been 2 years, ya’ll. i’m so glad to have him back.
this weekend; second christmas. our family didn’t celebrate christmas together on dec. 25 — we wanted to wait till my brother came home. soooo we’ve had christmas, but we haven’t had second christmas. (little LOTR reference there…)
i need to introduce a few new blogs & stick them on my blogroll –
one is another of my ‘migraine’ friends (she has them too) Deb at Weathering Migraine Storms.
and the other is my friend jeff – his is probably the only political/social commentary blog on my blogroll.
definitely worth a read.
