If you ever want to check out a FABULOUS blog of a dear friend, head to Mabel's House. And if you're just in the mood to explore the best of the blogging world, check out the hundreds of blogs she has links to. I find the most amazing blogs that way. Perfect strangers who you just KNOW you'd be friends with if you met them in any ordinary way, non-internet. There should be a bloggers convention where you can choose to go into certain "subject" rooms and wearing the name of your blog instead of a nametag, just meet everyone face to face and SEE your next best friend in person!
