I will probably sound bananas as I try to express what I am thinking. This of coarse will not be the 1st time I could start out a thought with that line, and will not be the last time. But...
I was just thinking about this blogging thing- and how it is wonderful! For me, as a quilter (the one part of my life that is just for me), blogging is what I imagine quilting bees would be like. I think every person has such a need for communicating with other people. Not just talking to each other because of work, or the neighbor thing, or talking with the other parents of your kids friends, I mean the type of talking to another person without being forced to talk. I don't think I'm explaining myself (once again refer to the title about the quirky thoughts and now you know why).
Here's what just happened to me, I went to one of my favorite blogs, I read some comments that were posted, I clicked on their links, and started traveling around to all sorts of other blogs. It so fun to just read a bit, and if it's appropriate, make a comment or two. It's like getting to visit with people because you simply want to visit. People you choose to visit with, not just because you saw them in the supermarket, or carpool line, or gym or wherever. Depending on my mood, I can go to different blogs- I think it's so helpful to have others to relate too, depending on what my needs are for that moment.
The only hard part about bloghopping, is that I sometimes lose a good site that I want to go back to visit. Again, it probably sounds a little bananas. But I just thought I'd share one of my favorite reason for blogging (is that even a word?).

Gratitudes
Today is hard to list just 5-
1. The big geese hissing at us for feeding her ADORABLE little babies
2. The sound of the bullfrogs out by the pond.
3. My 2 year old getting an 'all clean' dentist check-up (that's a story for another post)
4. Not running out of gas- I still can't believe we didn't run out!!!
5. My son's team winning- still alive in the playoffs, (and his diving play to get the other guy out, and still throw it for a double play!)

I know what you mean about blogs - here in the UK quilters are farther apart geographically and I often feel a bit like a fairground attraction when people find out what I like to do - wish I'd a pound for each time someone says 'Oh I wish I had the patience for that' - blogs kind of make you feel more part of a community somehow

Blogging is really fun isn't it.

Oh you have blogging down in your mind! Isn't it fun to just hop around and look at what you want to! Now you'll just have to remember to save those links of ones you want to go back and visit. It didn't take me long to start to remember to do that!
I'm glad I found your blog via Judy's blog comments!

This blog thing is wonderful. We get to take a teeny peek into a person's quilty life, and other things they share, and grow a bit from getting to know these folks. And we can do it in our PJs!
I've enjoyed your blog! And getting to know you!
((HUGS))
