Okay...so, this post is a little late, but better late than never - right?!?! So, on the Saturday before last (1/30) and last Saturday (2/6), I read this post and this post about finding people who you connect with and creating your own "tribe" of folks who have become - or could become - good bloggy buddies. So, in this post I am going to give you the 5 bloggy buddies of mine whose blogs I just can't wait to read...can't wait for them to read my blog...and who will have the longest back-and-forth email chats with me!

If you've ever looked at my "I follow" bloggy list, you will notice that I follow a TON! One of the ladies whom I follow is Darla @Hissyfits and Halos. This Texas pistol is the mother of three daughters, the wife to a car-crazed, power-hungry husband and the daughter to a Preacher man and a non-farting (or does she) mama. This FABULOUS lady even sent me a birthday card, folks...so you should all aspire to be her (Loubs, diamonds and all)!! Scoot on over to her place and give her a huge Texas HOWDY!!!

I can barely keep up with the babe...nevermind THREE babes, two elderly in-laws, a hubs and a partridge in a pear tree!! Well, the Crayon Wragler - over @Coloring Outside the Lines - does JUST that (and I don't know how). She gives good blog...get your mind out of the gutter...all while feeding the toddler crayons and changing the wee crayon. She is another Texas spitfire folks!!

Then there is Joshua @The Technical Parent. He was my first...male follower!! Good grief, what is WITH you people today?!?! He does something with a children's hospital, but won't go into specifics...which is okay, I guess! Both of his children were born premature and the lessons he has learned from them are priceless!

Shandal (you know, like Chandelier) @My Life In 3D is a hoot!! She blogs about everything from her two little angels, her hubs, parenting fails, her struggles and joys of being a SAHM and her newest endeavor - P90x! Shan is a great lady who leaves wonderful comments and has wonderful advice.

Last, but certainly not least, is Boops!!! Now, Boops is currently having a "Prince" moment (hence the title of her blog, The Blog Formerly Known As Boops Does Tulsa), but I love her anyways!! She first started blogging in November of '09 and I have been laughing ever since. She is brutally honest and really makes me think sometimes - which is hard for me, being blonde.

So...these folks are part of my tribe...I'm working on a button lovers...I promise you'll get it soon!! There are others who are part of my tribe, but the post said focus on 5 - so I did!! I do love all of my wonderful followers and the comments that are left for me...what can I say - I am a fan of getting my ego stroked (who doesn't?!)!
