    Just another twenty-something, irrational, neurotic, over-sensitive, emotional, quirky girl who thinks shaving her cats body but leaving hair on their head and legs will give them character. .

Blogosphere Smorgasbord

Posted on August 13, 2008 by freeandflawed

- Renee from A Beautiful Day in the Reneeborhood has just opened her very own Etsy shop. She has some really cute frames, so be sure to check out Rhapsody in Glue.

- By now you should all be aware of the 20SB meet-up. I want to remind you that this isn’t closed to our 30-something friends. Stay tuned for updates here if you’re not a part of the 20SB ning group. Right now, people are researching the top three cities (Chicago, NY and Boston).

- The wind beneath my wings, aka Jessica has bestowed me with an award. My only task was to pass it on to seven other awesome bloggers.

Rebekah
Sizzle Says
Random Reflective Ramblings
Half Deserted Streets
…and hijinks ensued
Ex-Everything
Anonymous Amy

- The kick ass Rachel gave me the “kick ass blogger” award. And I pass it on to:

A View from 5280ft
Starting Over at 24
It’s 3 o’clock in the morning!
Like Spinning Plates
Each of the Two

- Cleveland’s a Plum and her friend Kerri put together a funny video in honor of the Olympics: A balance beam routine…sans beam. Enjoy :)

- New Blog Launches: Who’s Your Dachshund and Oh! How Lovely Shops.

- Vacations: Jennifer is currently in Amsterdam and will be in Madrid (for a whole year!) before the month is over. Follow along with her travel blog. Brandy has returned from Mexico and Dan Mega talks a bit about his trip to Vegas.

- Lots of bloggers are moving…I’m sorry I can’t keep track. We do have two NEW additions to the Chicago bloggers though! Renee and in a couple of weeks The Maiden Metallurgist will be here.

I think that wraps up this week’s smorgasbord of blogs. If you’re moving, have a new blog or want to share your vacation recap, feel free to leave links in the comments.
