Fact:
When I went to Michigan for my business trip, that is the first time I have stayed in a hotel long enough to require unpacking! Seriously, we never could afford to go anywhere for more than a weekend at most, or we were only stopping at a hotel on our way to the ultimate destination. It was quite the novelty for me to iron and then hang my clothes up in the hotel closet. Sometimes it’s the little things that bring so much pleasure.

I was tagged a few days ago by Yankeechick. I figure it’s about time that I get around to writing it all out. The “Rules of Engagement” *snicker* are that I am to link to 5 diaries/blogs that inspire my writing and explain my reasoning.
1. Cardiogirl. I love this lady. She has a writing style all her own, updates regularly, and responds to all comments left in ther VIP section. She has created the Cardiogirl Empire™and continues to perfect a creative and engaging environment for her readers. I aspire to have a blog along the lines of Cardiogirl.net! 2. Planet-Maxx. Maxxy will tell it like it is, and pulls no punches. He blogs openly and honestly about his relationship with his wife; V, and his feelings for his soulmate Vamps. His writing ranges from humorous to poignant, and everything in between. Maxx diary inspires me to not only blog about the every day things, but the heart-wrenching and the painful too.
3. Guilty Secret. She has a way with words and an incredible capacity to make the reader feel like they are right there in the room with Baddie & herself. She’s magnificently descriptive, and never hesitates to try and explain how she feels. Guilty has an awesome ability to recall spoken conversation, and to incorporate that into her blog so the audience understands the banter between everyone involved. She is creating a record of this particular time in her life. Guilty inspires me to remember every detail and record it accurately.
4. SmedIndy. Smed’s blog incorporates humor, and musical genius all in one convenient spot on the web. He is intelligent, articulate, and knows how to write a darn good essay. His love of music is a constant thread throughout his posts. His blog inspires me to blog about the things I love, passionately.
5. Awittykitty. I’m a relatively new reader, and an even more recent commenter. Witty is well, witty. Her writing is humorous if a little self-depreciating. I know that it’s going to make me smile at the very least. Sometimes she even makes me laugh out loud. She isn’t afraid to make fun of herself. She knows her short comings, but she also knows her strengths. Witty is an artisté and her creativeness flows through her post in a wonderful mix of fact and comical story-telling. I aspire to be able to spin a tale, the way that Witty does.
So there you have it folks, 5 blogs that inspire me. Now I wasn’t clear from Yankeechick’s post if I’m supposed to tag 4 or 5 people. I guess I’ll do 4 as some of the people on my blog roll have already been tagged.
Tag, you’re it:
Dulligirl
Planet-Maxx
Guilty Secret
Awittykitty
P.S. Here’s to hoping this blog made sense. I’m chock full of Nyquil right now, trying to kick this cold!
