Sharon: What can I say? I'm not sure but I believe Sharon is my virtual twin. We have alot in common, and quite often it startles me. She is talented beyond belief. She's an artist, a musician, and a wonderful mother of three boys. Oh, and she'll be running for Mayor this year if we can talk her into it. She's been through alot in your young life and yet, she comes across as an optimistic person, looking forward to the future. The humor in her posts never fail to make me smile. She can take some of the most horrid situations and make me laugh out loud at her take on them.

Melonie: This woman inspires me to take naps. Lot's of them. Not because she is boring in any sense of the word, but because her schedule makes my head spin and my heart rate rise. She has SIX (yes, I said six) children and has gone back to school (I'm still trying to get past the six children part). Not only that, her father-in-law lives with her as well as 3 large dogs and a cat. I'm still trying to figure out when she has time to sleep, much less blog.

Aussie Mama: What can I say about this sexy Mama from down under? I am addicted to her blog as much as some people are addicted to soaps. With her quick wit and uproarious humor, she weaves a tale of her budding romance with James, the dashing fireman. Her readers learn of Princess Whores and unattentive husbands. We learn about her children, their boyfriends and the pooping, biting, cyring antics of her littlest. I cannot wait to see how her story unfolds in 2005.

Contemblogging: A blogger who is just a hop, skip and a jump from me in a geograpical sense. Suzzane's blog is filled with things that make you nod your head, thinking to yourself, "yep, been there, done that." She's held so many different and interesting jobs, and lived in different places. I'm fascinated when reading about some of her experiences. This is another one of my daily reads.

Vegemite: Another Aussie Sheila, with a passion for Vegemite. Does anyone really know what vegemite is? Well, folks from this side of the pond, I mean. Vegemite is a whirlind of activitiy, bouncing from one thing to another. Over the Christmas holidays, she wore me out by her posts and all of the things she did. I'm not certain, but I think she was the #1 poster on my DoodleBoard during this time. Another very good daily read.

MellieHellen: Yet another good read for 2005. MellieHellen is one busy woman. She homeschools her kids, and even has a blog dedicated to the subject. In one of her recent posts, we learn that she is a cradle robber (the good kind). It seems her husband is a bit younger than her. This will definitely be a site I'll continue to visit in 2005.

Gopher: AKA: GopherTheAngelic. (*cough*) I've known Gopher for a long time and he has finally agreed to go "public" with his blog. This, of course, will force him to post more. Gopher is over in Scotland, and his Scottish humor knows no bounds. I've threatened to send the children to him and he always tells me he's going to move and not give me his address.

Goss: Yet another one of the bloggers I've been virtual friends with since I started blogging again. She's just recently redesigned her site and it's looking fabulous. She constantly has me laughing about the comings and goings of her little one's, "A" and "D." I'm looking forward to seeing what 2005 brings to her life.

TW: Another DAWGS fan. You gotta love it! TW is witty and has a way of telling a story that makes you feel as if you were right there when it's happening. She's another one that has posted about alot of things I've experienced (mainly kids). Goooo DAWGS!!!!

Key: Key epitomizes all that I want to be. Well, wait, I don't want egos to be blown out of proportion. I would like to have her quick wit and (sometimes) sharp tongue, and ability to say what everyone else is thinking but afraid to verbalize. I'd like to be able to post what I want or feel about something in the eloquent way she does. Kind of like a "take no prisoners" attitude. You gotta love that. Oh, and besides that, this oh so wonderful lady mailed me a Christmas card!!! Some would say I'm easily pleased, and some would be right.

Zoot: What can I say? I love this woman. She's the one who designed the site you are looking at right now, and held my hand through the learning curve when I switched from blogger to MT. She did this on her own time and didn't charge me. She is one of the most creative and talented designers I know. I'm just waiting for her to start her own business. She's that good. I love to read her blog because she has short humorous takes on every day life happenings.
