I'm working around the clock these days, interspersed with random snippets of Nolan and a lot of tortilla chips and suspicious cheese dip. I've been remiss on my blog reading, but last weekend, my interest in the state of the Momosphere was renewed after the random visit of a blog friend.

Angella was a reader of my personal blog back in the days of its existence, and her insightful comments and bubbly insight prompted my interest in her blog. She lives with her gorgeous family in the interior of my home province: a place filled with sunshine and peach trees and rolling green hills. I met up with her for a coffee and a chat, and, even though I'm a bit of a guarded introvert, I found myself chatting comfortably with her like I've known her for years. Her blog, Dutch Blitz, is worth a gander for the pictures of her gorgeous kidlets, the sunny slopes of her hometown gleaming in the background. The woman has a heart you can see in her eyes and I am better for having met her.

Onward! Angella told me about some of her best blog friends, some of whom I read religiously, some of whom are new to me. Kerflop is a name I've heard before around the blogosphere, but hadn't yet added to my bloglines. Well, now I have. I developed a blog crush on her just after reading a few lines of her about page:
My husband and I have three adorable, gifted, and talented children. All of which we deeply feel are way more adorable, gifted, and talented than yours." She's also a professional quitter. And a talented writer, I'm looking forward to more.

Finally, after talking with Angella I decided to re-emerge myself in Whoorl, who I have read and admired sporadically in past. If you are as out of the blog loop as I am, you may not know that Whoorl has a Hair Project, which involves neither furballs nor spreadsheets. It's a collage of blog reader good hair days, which is actually way more fascinating than it sounds. Who knew the Internet was so pretty?

Happy weekend, everyone, and to my fellow Canucks, happy Canada Day, eh?
