Today I am participating in my first ever official blogfest. Yuppers, the incredible brainchild of Matthew and Alex... The Pay it Forward Blogfest! As a general (insane) rule, I never take part in these things, but this is a great initiative, and I couldn't resist.
And guys.. blogfests are FUN... like the "jump out of your seat, run down the street hollering at the top of your lungs fun"... it's fantastic to visit a variety of blogs and read everyone's take on things.
So the name of the game is to get us meeting people, and connecting and making new friends and all that wonderful stuff. All participants must list three awesome blogs they read and think others would also be interested in.
Kapeesh?
Sooooo... without further ado... blogroll please!
1. Theresa's Tales of Teaching Tribulations and Typing Teen Texts - Theresa never fails to amaze me with her down-to-earth, inspirational posts. Always relatable, always spot on and always thought provoking.
2. Words and Such - I've known Kenda for quite some time, and I can always count on her for beautiful, creative posts that just make my day.
3. Claudia Del Balso, Writer - Claudia is a power house of stellar advice and helpful tips for new and aspiring writers. She has published nine short stories and writes for an online magazine.
Please check out these blogs if you have time. No time? Bookmark them and come back to them later... I promise you, you won't be disappointed! :)
What is everyone up to this weekend?

Hi, DG here. I'm following now, and still checking out sites on the linkylist.
I did check out Claudia's site and liked it, too. Haven't yet got to everyone's suggestion, but trying for one on each, then back to editing. (more coffee...)
Fantastic choices for the blogfest!
