(Since Drew’s attempt to sabotage my blog has failed quite impressively, we’re going to proceed with today’s plans.)
(See previous post if you want to know more.)
(Oh! And thanks for stopping by!)
A few new faces and names have wandered into the comment section of my blog over the past few months. I’m so excited that you are here! Probably more excited than I’ve let on.
So, just for you, here are a few things you need to know.
I found myself sucked into the world of blogging about 1 1/2 years ago. Loved it. For two reasons:
- It’s a great creative outlet for me – to share songs, ideas, poetry, and images.
- I love the connections made here. This was such an unexpected blessing.
Since I’ve started blogging, I’ve made some INCREDIBLE friends. I’ve even had the privilege of meeting a handful of them in person. A year ago, if someone were to tell me that I’d travel halfway across the country to meet “strangers” that I only know online, I would’ve laughed in their face. But, alas, ’tis true.
I blog about life, family, friends. I blog about what TV show has gotten me hooked. I blog
Over the next few weeks, I’m going to re-post some of my “Top Posts of 2008″ – for many of you, this will be review. But for the newbies, this will bring y’all up to speed. And, for me (and my current and inexplicable writing slump), this will give me a much needed break.
Oh. The judge of the top posts is, well, yours truly.
And the criteria? Um. There ain’t none.
OH! But I will take suggestions if you have any. So, fire away. Any “top posts” that I simply MUST add to the list?
dang, why can’t i think of the ones that have been significant to me?????
thank you for giving me something to do over the next few days. i was already running out of ideas of what to do with my time.
i’ll get back to you!
HAHA! Marisa: Glad I could help.
Al: None? Bueller? Bueller?
So, I’ve only been reading a few months, but these two would be my favorites:
http://mandythompson.com/2008/10/20/broken/
http://mandythompson.com/2008/11/17/the-weakest-way/
Gitz: I almost put broken on the list… But chose a different one for that category (metaphor). I got silly & went with categories!
Weakest Way – one of the most difficult and revealing things I’ve ever written. Historical. Telling. Honest. Thank you for remembering that one.
But my vote in for “broken.”
And your “DO something” video.

it gave me one more reason to go home and play some keys…a little chance for improv…and imagine that it was a music monday post…hmmm…
funny thing…i never commented on it…i figured fred had you covered…
Hmm… Interesting suggestions! Thanks y’all!
And, hey! All the fellas are back now, too. hehe
Good morning – I am back as well. Hope you have a great day and will be anxious to see what you choose to post. I did a new post this morning as well. God bless you and Drew as you serve Christ.
Papa: So NOW you come over and are all nice and sweet… Ok. I’ll forgive you. But only because Mama is hott.
You have had some mnay great post I will need time to pick just a few. I agree with NorEaster that one has to be one of the videos.
Ed! I’ve got a video in the mix.

You are significant to me. Like every single day.
