What I Learned Today
I saw this done on another blog (sorry, but I don’t remember where) and thought I’d steal the idea for today. I used the Go To a Random Blog button and tried to learn at least one thing from each before I moved on. I went 10 places and you can see what happened. It was interesting to say the least.
On MyCoffeBreaks every post was written in a language I didn’t know except one. The one written in English? Lyrics to Goodbye My Lover by James Blunt.
From Katara I learned the rules for a good, clean fight with my husband.
At Princess and Bear Go to the Movies the last 8 posts were reviews for various Friday the 13th movies. I realized that maybe I am the only person in the world who has never seen any of them.
From Index Beating I learned that a blog can sound just like my husband when he’s talking about work…oil, indexes, subprime, trades…
Over at Projecy Progeny I learned the travails of a working mom and the struggle with infertility.
At Secret Angel Cat I learned about Tigerfeet, a 24 year old Tauren who loves chocolate ice cream and blackberries.
CashMattress’s Weblog has 400 members and offers $10 prizes for things like completing the most offers?
The Desert Duck is a funny blog written by an elementary school teacher. I enjoyed the stories about her students. This was my favorite of the 10.
http://bookwyrmknits.wordpress.com/ has lots of info and photos for knitters. My favorite photo was of cute kitty, Suzy.
From Where is Olga? I learned that Olga has been quite a few places. It’s organized and easy to find specific places. She includes lots of photos.
Go ahead and try it. See what you can learn today

What do you want to know?
I’m a thirtysomething (at least for a little while longer) who loves books. I was born in Ohio, graduated from Ohio State, and then spent time in LA, Arlington, Virgina, NYC and Lansing, Michigan before ending up back in Ohio 9 years ago. I have a wonderful husband who never complains when I bring another book home and two furry kids-Scout the cat and Max the dog.

Your result for The Classic Dames Test...
Rosalind Russell
You scored 19% grit, 38% wit, 29% flair, and 29% class!
You are one wise-cracking lady, always quick with a clever remark and easily able to keep up with the quips and puns that come along with the nutty situations you find yourself in. You're usually able to talk your way out of any jam, and even if you can't, you at least make it more interesting with your biting wit. You can match the smartest guy around line for line, and you've got an open mind that allows you to get what you want, even if you don't recognize it at first. Your leading men include Cary Grant and Clark Gable, men who can keep up with you.Find out what kind of classic leading man you'd make by taking the Classic Leading Man Test.
What Jane Austen heroine are you?
I saw you linked me in my track-backs, read through your list, tottered on over to Projecy Progeny… and found some hope for myself again
Thanks, funny how these things work out eh?
Absolutely! I thought Project Progeny was full of honesty and hope. I’m glad you found it
Whew, I have enough trouble keeping up with all the tried and true awesome blogs (like yours!) that I love to visit, much less go looking for trouble!
It does sound like fun though, maybe someday…
p.s. I don’t watch horror movies either, never seen any Friday the 13th or Freddie Kruger or any of them.
It took more time that I thought it would. If I do it again I’d probably only do 5.
I think I saw a Nightmare on Elm Street in high school although I’m not sure I saw the whole thing. I’m glad I’m not the only one who skipped the horror flicks
