You're in my Google Reader

My parents asked me a few weeks ago where all my blog links went. Apparently they enjoyed the convenience of it. Since adding everyone to Google Reader, I never used my blog roll anymore so I took it off. So for them, I'll put it back on. And while I'm at it, I'm going to catch up on all the commenting I don't do anymore thanks to my google reader. It's made me a lazy commenter so I'm gonna try to make up for it all at once!

Rachael, Jared, Josh, Suzanne: I would love to comment on how entertaining, or thought provoking, or motivating your blogs are to me but that would require you all to blog. So instead I'm just gonna simply say, "Get off your lazy butts and blog already! I miss your wit, humor, sarcasm, etc."

Lisa: You and your camera make me want to vomit. But I still love you like a whore anyways. (Sorry for that harsh language but I seriously always talk to her like that. I think it's a disease. It probably really is since I'm a known hypochondriac. )

Sarah: Thanks for posting since Josh doesn't. Lydia cracks me up! She is such an amazing kid. So much a combination of you and Josh. It's nice to see what you guys are up to.

Anna: I love seeing the pics of your guys' adventures. And it's nice to know that Jared is really alive out there somewhere. Or at least you haven't reported him missing yet. And I'm super excited that you guys are having a baby!

Kimmie: You don't write often enough either but I'll forgive you since you're a radical cousin. And because you sometimes babysit and take Spencer to run errands with you. You're the best!

P&S, Part 1 and 2: I love seeing the changes in your house and am always amazed to think that a few years ago I spent a week there with your kids and grandma and grandpa. How crazy was that?! It was way fun though and I'm grateful I had the chance to do that. I also am super excited for your family blog. We really do wish that we saw you all more!

Nerd Bird: Uh, does anyone even remember that this blog was created for all us cousins? Just wondering. I personally haven't posted since I'm still bitter about the last post about Sophie. (Just kidding, Jared. I laughed super hard even though it was cruel!)

Michelle S.: You and you're crazy Las Vegas living! Every time I read a post of yours I always sit and wonder when I'm going to convince myself to buy a ticket and visit you. How much fun would all that shopping be?!

Gerianne: It is still super crazy to me that we all know each other way better now than in the entire 20'some years we grew up. You're posts always have me laughing out loud and then I call everyone and insist that they check your blog. I'm so excited for you that you're new little girl arrived. You are gonna rock as a mom.

Tracie and Joy: It is so crazy to think back on all the memories I have of both of you. Joy at Shopko and Tracie at all the conventions. Seems like sooo long ago and it's hard to really remember that that use to be my life. It's fun to get to see both of your families and see what you're both up too. And Joy, I never answered about the age gap of my last two. It was definetly a surprise when I found myself expecting when Sophie was only 6 months old. It hasn't been as hard as I thought it would be but it's not been easy either. Going from Spencer and Sophie being 3 years apart to only 15 months apart for her and Carson has been crazy!

Michelle B.: So I knew you read blogs and that the last time I talked to you, you didn't have a blog. Then one day I randomly click on your name in a comment box and whatta ya know? You have a blog! You're kids are adorable! And I'm glad you've started blogging.

Alicia, Kim M., Shayla, and Jodi: Oh. My. Goodness. I have never had GNO's like the ones we have. They are outrageous, fun, and... informative. We'll just leave it at that. We really, really should have them more often but it's probably better that we pace ourselves. I also love your blogs and wish that a few of you would post more often! Alicia, your Week in Hollywood's are classic and so is your devotion to all things Twilight.

Donald and Lisa: I always am humbled by your posts about Elisabeth. The strength of your family is inspiring. I also love the quotes and pictures you always have on your sidebar. And then there's Donald's blog. Classic entertainment. Especially the hot debate between siblings.

Mitch and Nan: I had no idea that Mitch is so political. And mechanical. Most of his blog is over my head but oh well, it's still fun to read. And Nan, I still want to have you teach me someday the fine art of 'junking'...Yard sales, thrift stores in Spokane, etc. I would love another peak at your house. The last time I was there I couldn't get over all the adorable stuff!

Kristin H.: Ms. Kristin! I always have to take extra time when I check your page if Spencer is around. It's pretty pathetic that he already knows to ask me, "Who's blog is that? Do we know them?" Whenever he see's that its your family he has to look at all the pictures and then grill me on why he can't see the rest of your house, the dogs, etc when he's at school!

Kim H: I can't believe how long I've known you. Such a different life time ago! Your stories crack me up and I think you should post a picture of your finished "Please remove your shoes" project. I would love to see it.

Debie: Somehow the peacefulness of your personality is felt in your blog as well. I can only hope that my kids grow up to be like yours. How exciting for everyone that a new little girl is going to join your family!

Jenny: Can you believe we're as old as we are? It's sometimes surreal to me. It's fun to see glimpses of you and your family and your adventures. I made super oreos today but they just didn't taste as good as when you made them! It would be fun to get together sometime when you're in town!

Katie: I almost forgot to include you because I lost the address to your blog! So you're not technically in my google reader but I wish you were! Please have Susan email it to me again. I loved your guest post on her blog about fishnets. Cracked me up! I never knew you were "that kinda girl"!
So that accounts for 27 of my 37 blogs in my google reader. I'm kind of a snob and based my list off of people who I know actually read mine so there are a few more out there that I like to check but didn't include! So if there's any unknown readers out there, leave me a comment!

**The blogroll sidebar is gonna have to wait a day or two, it's a lot of work to add everyone on there. Sorry mom and dad.

***What's up with the random font change?!?

Lurker here! I love your last post about the calendar. That is a great idea for kids! I was just imagining a Spongebob paper calendar, but that one is very hip!

As I was putting out my Halloween and Autumn decorations, I kept thinking, I want some like Amy has. The black crow, the hat, the circle with Spells on it... So Beaver Bark has cool decorations for the house?

Amy said...

They do have some cool stuff! The spells and potions circles I found at Fred Meyer for $2 each, doesnt get better than that! And the bigger witches hat I picked up at Value Village and the stand it sits on I got there too. The little one came from Beaver Bark.

I'm so glad that you lurk! I will definitely be adding you to my google reader!!!

Lisa said...

Amy,

Can I just give you some money and you can pick up some decorations? I'm so not kidding. Oh, and then come and decorate my house? Love you back, whore.

Whore

Lisa Christine said...

What a fun post. It must have taken forever to write all of that!
I adore your blog too....I can never get enough of looking at your adorable children...especially Sophie!

Shayla said...

Informative is definitely a good word for those GNO's. :-) It's been so fun getting to know you better, and your blog always has me laughing out loud.

meohmyers said...

Sometimes I suffer from GNO regret. When it's late I tend to over-inform. Sorry 'bout that. SOOOOOO glad we got to know each other better this past year. I love your little family. So when's the next GNO?!?!

Alicia Leppert said...

I don't think Kim will ever live down "informing" us at the last GNO. Did ANY of us go home NOT mortified of stuff we said? I doubt it. We have to do it again--soon. Now that you've complimented my This Week In Hollywood, I may actually do one.
