Susie Lindau had an awesome blog post early last month that is inspiring this one. She called it her “Use Me and Abuse Me Day“. Well, in honor of Valentine’s day I wanted to give you all a chance to either get some love for your blogs or show some love for some awesome blogs you’ve discovered.
You guys have made me laugh, inspired me, made me cry…shared joys and pain… So what I’d like for you all to do is take a second and post the link to one of your favorite blog posts…either of your own or a friend and let us know a little bit of why you love it!
Hi Kitt,
There was a lot of sharing done on Susan’s post that day. I ended up adding quite a few of the blogs I visited to my reader.
I’d like to share an old post that I wrote about another blogger, Alicia. She’s been blogging for years, but has recently decided to stop. Perhaps getting some newfound love will encourage her to change her mind. No Air in Common
Thanks for doing this and happy pre-Valentine’s Day!
Awesome! Can’t wait to get to know her.
Ray, I’m so glad that through your post, I was introduced to Alicia. Anyone who has ever lost someone can truly appreciate what she went through and the bravery it took to share. I hope other people check her out, too! She definitely deserves the love.
Sneaky, Ray. Very sneaky.
I had wondered about the uptick in visits to that page and the new comments on yours. Your kind words touch my heart all over again, a year and a half later.
Others have been nudging me to resume blogging, but if I do, it won’t be for a while. Thank you, though, for your warmth and support; it means the world to me.
Whenever you are ready, Alicia…you’ve gained a new follower in me.
I’m glad Ray was sneaky. I would never have discovered you, otherwise.
Susie’s last party was the reason I found your wonderful blog! Love that you’re doing this now, such a good idea (I need to try it out now).
One of my favorite posts is from my first experience in international travel. For my senior year my school’s Foreign Language Club made the trip out to Russia and Sweden. St. Petersburg won my heart but Moscow was quintessential Russia, especially when we got the chance to explore Red Square.

Aww! Thanks, Audrey. I enjoy your blog & can’t wait to check out your post.
Gosh, Audrey! Those photos really were amazing!
http://justasmidgen.com/ – Barbara … I want to pass on to you – her blog is like landing in a world full of beauty and indulgence – she won the best blog in Canada in 3 or 4 categories. Great a choice of track again, a new song for me.
I look forward to checking her out. As for Martina…she’s fantastic! Glad you enjoyed my introduction.
I’m following here … mad and wild, great combination.
Kitt – can I ask you to check my little photo out .. and if you think it’s worth it .. maybe get your vote.

Checked it out last night.
Thanks .. *smile
What a fabulous idea in spreading the love. My favorite post shows my true colors — in all of my leopard, cat loving glory:

Sweet! Can’t wait to check it out. You always have such fun posts.
Had NO IDEA that pj’s with footies could be so sexy! Seriously, woman… You make that outfit HAWT! (As for the poor kitty going down the slide? Homey looked a tad terrified…LOL!)
Yes, I ruined that kit cat from ever climbing trees…poor baby! But that just meant he got to live inside with me!
That’s definitely a major positive…LOL!
Hi Kitt! I’ll take you up on posting one of my favorite blogs. http://piddlepaddler.blogspot.com/2011/12/i-envy-artists.html
Just a bit of fluff…
Welcome to the party, George!
I really enjoyed your picture. It is so hard to paint with words, especially when so many people try and interpret it for you. Excellent post.
Thank you! I was trying to think of the right words… You nailed it!
Okay, if I don’t get this done tonight e-mail me a reminder to do it tomorrow night. I definitely want to do this one.
Will do, Rob!
In honor of valentines day I will share “Chocolate has NO Calories”. All the reasons not to cure my chocolate addiction. http://wp.me/p22Nrd-5R
That is Definitely a cause I can get behind!!!
Great Idea Kitt – Every chance I get – I put out my link to ‘Veterans Denied Service Dogs.’ http://sheridegrom.wordpress.com/2012/10/15/veterans-denied
That was an awesome post for an awesome cause, Sheri! It deserves all the attention we can send it’s way. As for the idea…can’t take the credit. Susie started it and I found some really cool people and blogs to follow in the process. Hopefully, you guys find some fun people through this one, too.
Thanks so much for the shout! I will have some fun clicking on some links!
I’ll pull one out from the archives!
A bit of humor for you and how sometimes people just don’t get it….
http://susielindau.com/2012/03/28/nothing-but-the-sound-of-crickets/
Oh, Susie! I LOVE your humor… Sarcasm is my favorite brand of funny…:-)
Great idea. Thanks for opening your ‘home.’ My favorite blog of all time, needs no introduction because, well you’ll see: http://stevemccurry.wordpress.com/
Thank you so much for sharing! How inspirational! You’re right. The blog needed no introductions.
There are so many post from so many people that I follow that I couldn’t go through everyone and post links to them all so I thought I would post a couple that i did that I liked a lot. The first is How To Be A Pervert 101 http://radaronelson.wordpress.com/2012/12/03/how-to-be-a-pervert-101/ and the next one is Remembering http://radaronelson.wordpress.com/2012/11/29/remembering/
LMAO! How To Be A Pervert 101 was one of my first favorites. You and I had quite the goofy conversation going back and forth. Great choice! (Yes, your sense of humor is seriously warped, but it’s part of your charm)
LOL thank you I have to agree there.
Hey Kitt!
Hope you don’t mind a NYC dude crashing this party! Actually, it was through Susie’s wild “abuse me” party that I discovered your blog and a few others. It really helped me out as a newbie blogger and there are so many other great bloggers out there I follow now. You and Susie have been so great to me. Mind if I mention a few of mine that I like?

Thanks!

Phil, it just wouldn’t be a party without at least one of my favorite loud mouthed NY’ers popping his head in. You know you’re always welcome! Thanks for joining the fun.
A shout out like Awards are always welcome. I have so many that I could choose from….http://hikingphoto.com/ for magnificent photography, http://thesenseofajourney.com/ for her unbelievable talent and writing skills,http://irishkatie.wordpress.com/ for her Irish humour and how she READS each posts through and comments accordingly, http://biggirlspants.wordpress.com/ for her desire to write about her weight loss journey. My list is varied and I am sorry that I could not post just one. Thanks for allowing us to share some of our favourites, I have so many more. I do not follow for the sake of following, or feel I have to ‘pay back’ becausr they follow me, I follow because I enjoy their written word. Writing – having our blogs should not be competitive, though there are some that brag about how long they have been blogging for and how many visits and how many followers they have in a short spanse of time. … I follow because I am interested…and now I shall depart for I have rambled long enough. Thanks Kitt. x
I enjoy rambling…but you knew that. I’m not about competing and such, either. I enjoy who I enjoy & do so unapologetically. I do, however, love discovering new and interesting people through my awesome blog buddies and their great taste.
Thanks for the follow I have reciprocated
Thank you… Please also feel free to share a favorite blog post (either your own or a friend’s). It’s my pre-Valentine for my blogging buddies… There are some awesome people on here who are always looking for new and interesting discoveries.
Thank you. You are right about the awesome people. The quality of blogs is excellent.
Thanks! Feel free to share one of your own posts & join the fun!
