i have been reading a lot of blogs.
blog hopping.
blog stalking.
prior to this, i realized i had become accustom to strictly reading those blogs i subscribed to in reader and that i was neglecting my former (all encompassing) hobby of blog stalking.
i hadn't been living outside my box.
i had forgotten how much fun it was to explore the blogosphere.
find new blogs.
new content.
new inspiration.

during my recent stalks, i've stumbled across a few blogs that have provided me with a renewed sense of hope.
hope that i hadn't even really realized i had been lacking.
these blogs serve as a reminder of why i fell in love with blogging in the first place.
blogs are a place to make connections and find inspiration.
connections with friends, family and sometimes even strangers.
i want to put a "thank you" out there to all those blogs that have given me a sense of hope and a glimpse of fortitude over the past few weeks.*
*because i feel that the content of these blogs may not touch you in the same way they have touched me, i'm not going to post any links. but, i encourage you to do a little blog hoping, and find some new inspiration of your own.
i have a renewed passion for blog stalking! (hopefully that translates into a renewed passion for posting, too.)

Good for you! Can't wait to see you next weekend!
How fun! I blog hopped last night too, and found some fun new ones myself. Isn't it great?
I love blog hopping! I've found some really fun stuff out there! Nice that you've found some inspiration and hope along the way. The Blogosphere is a magical place.
I LOVE blog hoping...
I love reading about other lives.
I love finding similarities and embracing differences. It's why I started blogging in the first place.
I've actually taken a few blogs off my reader, just so I have to actually visit them. I find when I do that, I am much more likely to twirl off into the blogosphere - and it IS so much more fun that way! That's what makes blogs fun - linking and linking and linking :)
I'm looking for more FUNNY blogs. I've actually removed several blogs from my reader because they weren't funny anymore and actually moved into annoying territory. Not that I'm naming any names, and this totally does not include you, Rychelle. You're lovely.
I have been neglecting the blogging and blog hopping of late as I have been stuck doing school in my spare time *yuck* - but I have quit my horrible program and will now have more time to blog! Yay.
Ahhh, thanks for the inspiration. I haven't hopped in quite some time. I used to love that!
I love blogging and stalking. I haven't been doing much of it lately, either, so I understand. Glad that you are feeling some inspiration.
as long as you continue to stalk my blog I don't care who you blogstalk
I LOVE, LOVE finding a NEW blog..It's almost like having a NEW boyfriend...it makes you all tingly inside:)
I need to find some new stalks!!
You are an inspiration to stalkers everywhere.
:)
Yes Please I need a serving of new blogs to read. Please share with us some of your new faves!
I was just saying to myself: Self, you should expand your reading list.
Thanks for setting the example. I now will have more things to do at work other than my actual work...
rychelle,
I am glad to see you back a little bit. I cant wait to see you. jordan said chelle here I said not yet but soon and he took off running and screaming for joy. we miss you and see you soon. he calls your name everyday. I bet you cant wait to see the wedding decorations she wants to use.
i don't do nearly as much blog hopping since i started using google reader [over a year ago] but i do love when i find a newbie [at least to me] especially funny ones like yours!!!
Any really funny ones? I'm looking to add a nice funny blog with nice short posts.
I'm glad you've been re-inspired. Are you still traveling this weekend?
it's been a while since I went out there and found a new blog to read. I am afraid I'll find one (or several) that I like and not have any time to read them, as I already can barely manage the ones I have. But maybe I need to do it anyway!
I'm off to find some more great blogs - but you're still my fave! :)
So, are you going to give it up? Who are these bloggers that give you renewed faith?
Unless, of course, it is me. Then you don't have to worry about answering my question. :)

I'm glad you found some blog stalking hope. I haven't stalked much either (although I did find you!) since switching to reader. But I am awfully curious as to who your new inspirations are....
Oh MY GOSH!
You are SO welcome!
Blogging and stalking are cyclical. I know there are times when I am much more dedicated than others, both in writing and reading.

MY JOB (you know that place I go for hours and they give me money) IS really getting in the way of my blog stalking/posting/commenting.
I miss it.
That's how I found you today... by blog hopping! Yay! :)
