The Hotlight burned out?

Published by Ree at 11:51 pm under Hotlight

Hotlight?

Remember that? Where I your link to your favorite sites on a specific topic? Well, last month, I did nearly all of the work, eh-hem.

So June? We’re skipping.

Hey, I’ve already managed to keep that New Year’s blogolution longer than I’ve ever kept one before.

But one thing I won’t give up is props to my new commenters. Because I’m needy that way and comments are what make my world go ’round. So thank you to the delurkers and the first time visitors. I hope you feel free to come by again - and again, and again. Because you make my life special.

Molly - A Fellow VerveEarther - at I Heard Tell. Her posts are just right and have the ability to make you laugh and think.
Madge over at Diva Cosmos - She’s Vivienne’s evil twin, and somehow I think I’m flattered that Madge stopped by. I love her snark.
Karen from 3Garnets2Sapphires - Since garnet is my favorite gem, I’m thrilled she’s willing to share her cute kids and her fears.
Maggie at Maggie’s Mind - She has great pictures and math lessons to boot!
Pamela from The Dayton Time - The Boss of Things in Western New York whose daughter is offering her services as a flower girl.
AnyMommy writes at Is AnyMommy Out There? - Became Mom to 3 babies in 22 months, and shares her amazing story.
‘M’ over at MommyPie - has been ambushed by the Ingalls family AND photographed with a famous billionaire.
MommyTime at Mommy’s Martini is a PhD’d professor in Michigan, so you better believe I’m proofreading my stuff. I know she relates to ‘water issues’ though.
Ilina from Dirt & Noise - She’s a neat-freak Obama Mama who gives me new drinks every Friday!
Celtic Buffy is Serving Up Life - One Latte at a Time - in search of life, love and a new home - and the inspections that go with it.
Jacki is Moving at the Speed of Life - A sweetie pie in Northern Virginia watching out for the environment.
Natalie at Tell Me About It is a Mom to 4 in Turkey (yes, the country) - and she’s a much braver blogger than I.
Jeanie writes at Jeanie in Paradise - she had her garage sale in Australia the same day I had mine in the U.S., and we both know our Dr. Seuss.
Zeghsy is someplace in Wisconsin, and though she frets at dropping the f-bomb, her language is much cleaner than mine.
Lindabelle from Lindabelle’s Mindless Clutter proves that living with grown children can be done, you just have to decide WHERE.
Kim, at Methinks, is a SAHM to a disabled daughter, who just joined the big 4-0 club! (Welcome Kim!)
Jess, from Just a Little on the Side - shares a love of purple Flinstones vitamins and good ways to work out frustrations.
Tina over at The Bigger They Get has been trying to sell at home for a year - I hope they eventually get to retire.
Missy - who is Meanwhile, Back at the Ranch - is a gorgeous Aussie girl going to BlogHer, but rightly fears Twitter.
Wow, Was that Awkward (aka Brett) - writes at It Was A Dark, Stormy and I Lost My Serial Comma - the absolute longest blog name I’ve typed - poor guy is allergic to cats, but likes beer, so he’s okay in my book.
Nicole is from Resolving Time Issues - She’s another Neighbor to the North, and I like her thinking.
Chefdruck at Chefdruck Musings knows moms ares superheroes and can explain masturbation if needed.
Gallicissa shares amazing photos of birds in Sri Lanka - and dragons, too.
Obison at Obi’s Mind comes and goes for months at a time, and provides me with another male frame of mind.
Super Hero at me and others said he wouldn’t want to be my neighbor (hee), but I can’t not like someone with a love of Redbull.
Louise at New Orleans Food is invited to come watch out my front window while sharing plates of this.

—- Can y’all believe June is gone already? Of course, Mother Nature (the Bitch) is treating us in Ann Arbor to near record lows in the 40’s tonight. Cuddle up with someone warm tonight. —-
