The only problem is that I am not a gift giver and I have no idea what to send to the blog ladies that <i>I</i> love. Food? Everyone has different tastes. Books? Again with the taste. Decor? Ack, the taste! (And then there's the potential clutter factor.) I am 100% atrocious with gifting. I seriously considered sending you extra school supplies, that's how bad I am!

My blog gives me freedom and an outlet to voice my thoughts, and has opened up a world of friendship I'd never have otherwise found. The open, free exchange and support I receive from my blog friends means every bit as much (and sometimes more) than that I get from those in real life. Our "chat" is often daily nourishment for mind & soul. It took my husband some getting used to as well. For one, he kept envisioning me running away w/ a female blog friend. HEL-LO? Most men simply are not in touch w/ their "emotional" side - or if they are, they keep it hidden. I think it would be an interesting statistical study, to see who blogs more - Men or Women, and the range of topics they tend to cover. .-= Dishy´s last blog ..<a href="http://thedailydish.wordpress.com/2010/02/04/life-with-kiwi/" rel="nofollow">Life with Kiwi.</a> =-.
