3. Ten of my favorite blogs (but i am going to list in order the most recent 10 people who commented on my posts)....I follow those who comment. Although I use this blog gig to as a reflective journal of sorts, I do love to hear what people think. I love to get advice, just a 'hi how are you doing' and even a 'you are full of crap' every now and again.

so...in order:

Liz..you know who you are and you do not have a blog but you basically commented in person tonight at the school party.

Caroline at Lonicera's LapBand and Other Stories. I love it that you leave comments and I totally love your blog-filled with your life, photos and the band.

Debi at the Hawaii Bound Bandster Ok she nominated me for the award too but I am listing the commenters in order and she earned her spot :). Debi's blog is bright and summery. She talks band and life and occasionally shows us her beautiful paintings.
