if you find my me-ness could you please return it?

ugh.
i'm so out of sorts today. my blog title should temporarily read: just me.
i'm feeling unusually tired, uncreative, and just all around blah.
not how i like my days off to be.
i can't find music that i want to listen to (very unusual for me) everything i turn on just sounds whiny and annoying, everything i've designed today has gone in the trash (i usually at least save crap projects so that i can reflect on them), and i don't want to do anything.
i'm not myself today.
ugh.

the fiery furnaces: bitter tea.
barenaked ladies: born on a pirate ship.
boys like girls: boys like girls.
colbie caillat: breakthrough.
broken bells: broken bells.
carrie underwood: carnival ride.
the shins: chutes too narrow.
nothing.

i'm good at sharing my treats.

over the past few weeks, i have found some delightful new blogs. (well, they aren't new as in new to blogger, but new to my reading list) and since i'm feeling rather generous today, i thought i'd share them with you, in hopes that you too might find some new treats.
enjoy!



this girl is hilarious and adorable all rolled in to one (which results in her blog being gloriously awesome!) the first night i saw her blog, i think i stayed on it for about an hour and read about 4 pages worth of back-posts. 
anyway, in addition to her blog being awesome, she's doing spectacular giveaways for the christmas season. one in particular is the $50 gift certificate to rouche give away. i know, right? another one is done by painting in the air which is such a lovely shop! wonderful! 
go check her out. she's awesome. 

this girl. gah. i love her blog. she does outfit posts that will rock your world and she is so marvelous! i love stopping by her blog and seeing what she's wearing, how she's doing her hair, or what music she's listening to.
definitely a 'feel good' blog. (do i sound like a movie critic or what?)
stop in to her blog and say 'hello'. you'll be glad you did.

she's a mormon girl living in nyc, working as a broadway performer. her stories about her life as such are very funny and entertaining. she's a wonderful girl with an equally wonderful blog!
go check her out.



her blog is so wonderful and quaint. she shares about things she loves [coffee], and life lessons she's learned over time. her posts are lovely and easy to read. not to mention this girl rocks. this is a blog you can follow religiously or stop in every now and then and still enjoy what you read.

penelope is so cynical and dry its awesome. i read her blog and just laugh because of the utter negativity that she exuberates (that's a word, right?) in the most hilarious of ways. basically, its like hacking into ellen page's mind and reading it in blog form only written by someone else... yeah, that made sense.
anyway, go visit penelope's site. you just might be glad you did.

he is the father of amyschmamey, another blog i read. i first found his blog through hers and then i sat and read every post he'd written thus far (there aren't that many, but his posts are so interesting i didn't want to stop reading.) he's very good with words and refreshing to read as a) he is a man and i don't read many male-written blogs, b) he writes beautifully, paying attention to grammar and verbage and such and c) he's lived more life than most bloggers i read, so his views and opinions are built on life experience and not just quick judgments.
you should go read what he has to say.



if you like crafting, vintage and diy this is definitely the blog for you. mandi is such a cute gal and her blog is such fun to read. she has done quite a few projects that i'm just itching to try myself.
stop in and see what she's about. i'm pretty sure you just might get addicted... i am.

another quaint and lovely blog. she and musings of a hippie are great friends so their blogs mirror each other in a lot of ways. its fun to stop in and see what she, hannah, is up to. if you like feeling nostalgic and happy inside, you'd probably better stop by her blog.

that's all for now. i hope you'll enjoy reading some (or all) of these blogs.
i know i do.
consider these recommendations an early christmas present from yours truly.
you're welcome.


**to view a list of ALL of the blogs i read, please visit my i read these blogs page. there's LOTS of loveliness there. promise.
