Sabbatical

I took a blogging sabbatical. I decided to come back. I'm not going to return to the every day blogathon that I participated in before but the bi or tri weekly posts will return as of today. I'm feeling rejuvenated.

I've realized over the past few months that I really love to write. It is therapeutic for me and a great way to express myself. I don't really believe that anyone else cares what I have to write about. Which is perfectly great but I just love putting my thoughts out there. They are generally so random and unorganized but they're mine.

I also love reading others blogs. It makes me think, gives me ideas, and provides me with new insights. (Deep, right?) Here's some more I'm into right now. Check them out. You might enjoy... you might not.

What It All Looks Like - This man Mike Terry is a photojournalist in Salt Lake County. His pictures are interesting, beautiful, and unique. He usually posts pictures of events going on around the city which I love too. My favorite posts he has are of a live nativity scene, a children's ballet, and BYU vs. UNLV (which is weird since I don't like football.) Also, on his links bar on the right side he has tons of other great photographers links. I enjoy that.

Utah Loves Cupcakes- I have talked about a friend of mine that writes Project Domestication which is a super cute blog with all things domestic. Well she started another one all about cupcakes in Utah. It makes me hungry.

The Style Files- I just like to look. Maybe one day I will buy something that was inspired by this blog. That would make my drooling over the furniture and other items posted here worth it.

That's all for now. I just wanted to share.

Google Reader

I use google reader. In fact, I LOVE google reader. I have organized all the blogs I follow into folders in my reader and I am very obsessive compulsive about how it is organized. I don't really know why. So I thought I would share the names of my folders because it gives a little insight into what a huge blogging dork I am (If you didn't already realize this from the NaBloPoMo participation.)

Here are the folders and how many links I have in each one...

• Family (6)
• Half Friends/Blogstalking (15)
• I know someone they know (9)
• Other randoms (22)
• People I don't know at all (15)
• Real Friends (40)

Pretty ridiculous I know! What can I say, I love to read about other people. It gives me material for my own writing.

There are a two blogs I would like to recommend to you today. Check them out, they make me smile.

• Project Domestication This blog is written by a friend from high school. She finds great deals on cool unique items, she finds awesome recipes, cute decorations, etc. She really loves to make cupcakes and always has fun ideas for that. Also, you can find great links to other cooking/domestic websites. It's great!
• Oh! How Lovely! This one is written by someone I don't know and I'm not even sure how I found it. She however, is completely on top of the blogging world and knows about a ton of fun contents, prize giveaways, NaBloPoMo, etc. She even told me about where I could find some cute free blog templates (which I haven't used yet, but will.) She is highly entertaining to read and a good resource to have.

*It has officially been one week of NaBloPoMo and I haven't missed a day yet! 7 DAYS (that's a week in case you forgot)!!!! I am proud of myself!*

**NaBloPoMo gives away prizes through a random drawing to people that meet the goal and post every day. There are a lot of great prizes. I am hoping to win one! Think happy thoughts for me!**
