Spread the Love

...Or more accurately, the butter.

While I'm at school, we have our meals provided for us. We eat the same food the other college students do during first and second semester, but not during what we call "May Session." It's just one class that we take a month to complete. The month is always May, hence the name.

Anyways, our meals during May Session are catered, and at dinner today, the theme was "80's Night." My friends and I were trying to figure out what exactly was different about food in the 80's. It was difficult, mind you, because none of us have lived through the 80's. Our suggestions entailed things like "Butter," "Cheeseburgers," and "Less preservatives." Actually, the last one was my attempt at humor. Cue the laughing tape? Yeah, didn't think so. So, when we got there, we saw salad (which we always have), corn, potato-wedge fries, fried craw fish, some fried things that vaguely resembled chicken, popcorn shrimp...

...and this.
(They kind of resemble disco balls if you ask me.)

There was a huge glass bowl, full to the brim of these butter balls. I take it someone likes butter, and my friend was correct about the butter.


In honor of these disco-butter-balls, I'm going to "Spread the love." I might even "Butter it up," if you will (My puns are awful today). "Moving right along..." (This is what my awesome Government/Politics teacher for May Session always says after a string of puns.)


Buttered-up Blogs (that Shansie thinks are awesome)
(You should read them.)
(in no particular order)

This is a simply delightful blog written by a dog-owner from the perspective of her charming female Great Dane, Behr Behr. I discovered this blog only today, and absolutely loved it.

This is my awesome friend, Treble's blog. Yes, I know I constantly berate you to read her blog, but it really is good. She writes me "bed time stories" that provide endless entertainment, and sometimes even maniacal laughter, for both of us. I hope that you enjoy her serious stories and their laughable creation as much as I do!

Okay, what can I say. This girl has so much spunk in her writing, and is a phenomenal artist, no matter what she tries to draw. I'm awe-struck. Go see her blog. Add her to your stalked followed blogs. Tell her she's awesome. She definitely deserves it!

These are Crosby Kenyon's blogs. I love his writing, photography, and whatever other miscellaneous stuff he decides to post every once in a while. His blog never fails to brighten my day when it's been rough. Anyways, go follow his blogs. You won't regret it.

Quoted from her blog: "Elizabeth May is a nationally published photographer residing in Scotland. This is the blog where she posts random photos, tutorials, and other photography miscellany." Her photography is gorgeous, and I just love how she shows you something different than you'd expect to see of something.

Beautiful poetry and other forms of creative writing, strong and unique voice, and a great sense of humor make Kimberly Kaye's blog one of my favorites. She simply strikes me as a writer - and to clarify, not all authors do. I absolutely adore her blog, which I discovered when it was featured as a "Blog of Note." You should definitely check out this blog.


So, those are the blogs I'm currently drooling over. Feel free to comment about other blogs you think are worth checking out, and if I put your blog on here, and you don't want it here, just let me know and I'll take it off ASAP. I don't want to give you any attention you didn't want to start with.

Butter it up,
Shansie

  1. Shansie, thank you for including me in your Buttered-up Blogs section. I'm honored. I see you've been by today as well. Question: When Blogger was down, it might have messed-up something else--is Rehab still the most recent post showing in Sideshow? I've posted Harmony's Edge since and have had pageviews but the story doesn't show up in stats as having had any.

  2. You're welcome, Crosby! Harmony's Edge does show up on Sideshow, but the link to that post from my followed blogs section was messed up yesterday. I haven't checked today though. Either way, it shows up if you go directly to the blog.
