Girl Crush!

I have recently developed a girl crush...actually TWO girl crushes!! I can't help it. These women are just so sweet and lovely I can't help but have a big giant crush on them. The first is my friend from The Big Piece of Cake! We started our blogs at the same time (I love the name of her blog, it always makes me want cake!) and she's just blown me away with her support and her friendship. She's also so funny. Her posts even make my husband laugh, which is a feat since his idea of a good time is reading 500-page historical non-fiction. He especially liked her (actually her friend Kacy's) post about the letter to her hamster. I have to admit, that was crazy funny.

My second girl crush is on one my neighbors. She's just so awesome (I think I was 13 the last time I called some awesome!). She's also been so supportive and sweet AND she dragged me (god bless her) to a great community pool, which I'm now completely in love with. You know how much I love pools! Last time we went, I was giddy for the whole day just because I got to swim a few laps.

I hope they don't mind that I declared my crush for them to the whole world (or more like to the handful of wonderful readers of my blog).

Now that's I'm confessing my crushes, I might as well reveal my biggest celebrity girl crush! The beautiful food-loving, eating-with-her-hands, not-afraid-to-be a-real-woman's-size Nigella Lawson! Much like Mary from Eat, Drink, Be Mary (another great blog name!) I am a big fan of Nigella's style, her cooking and her way around the kitchen. She's funny, smart, sensual and she really really loves food! What's not to like about that?

Who's your girl crush?

Well - anyone who reads my blog knows that I've been stalking the Kacy that you referenced for a while (I always fall for the funny ones). But I've also had a major thing for another blog that I stumbled across a while ago. It's called An Inch of Gray (http://aninchofgray.blogspot.com/).

Anna See has such a wonderful writing style. Her stories are both funny and poignant and there's something very approachable about her. Even if her topic doesn't necessarily apply to me - I can still relate to it. I like that she writes for herself (something that I do), and doesn't feel the need to chronicle her daily life so that all of the players (i.e. kids) have equal representation.

Her posts aren't daily - more like weekly - but they're always so well thought out and give you a little piece of who she is. If you are curious - the post that I first read and made me want to read more was a beautiful tribute to her mother: http://aninchofgray.blogspot.com/2008/02/like-mother-like-daughter.html.

I too have "blog crushes" but at the moment I am just playing the field. I have found so many great blogs recently. I really need to be getting my work done instead of reading so much but it's a thing...
I love this blog. I'll be back.
