Thursday Thirteen

Every summer I go to California and spent 2-6 weeks with my “family”.  I haven’t been there in almost two years (last summer I was sorta tied up getting a kidney transplant) and I’m super anxious to go.  I leave on June 9th.

Are YOU in a Blog Clique?

LIGHTBULB MOMENT: I’m reading all the wrong blogs. Lately, I find my opinions inexplicably narrowing by the lack of diverse content and opinions… Unfortunately, my feed list has become too populated by judgment-callers, popularity contestants, and blog-buddy clique members.

What’s a blog-buddy clique, you ask?
