A WICKED COOL YANKEE CAHNIVAL!

A blog called Thoughts from an Evil Overlord, written by the one and only Elizabeth, has a feature called New England Bloggers (NEB), where you will find me, along with 179 other Yankee bloggers listed.

Yay!   

Today and tomorrow Elizabeth's New England Bloggers feature is hosting a carnival, the purpose of which is to introduce you to some fellow New England bloggers, and for us NEB members to get to know each other.  At the bottom of this post you will see a list of carnies participating NEBs who are just a click away. 

Heavy sigh.

I moved to Maine to get away from people.  I hate meeting new people.  I hate meeting old people.  I have enough people in my life as it is, thank you, and some of them I can do without (not you, of course).

Ever since I was told I have a vile moral compass, I figure I better start repenting and make an effort to play nice in the world, at least for today anyway, so don't get used to it.

Meet Cheryl and her blog Deckside Thoughts.  Her header photo is that of a line of seagulls disguised as pelicans 'cause there are no pelicans in New England.  Cheryl probably created her header in the middle of a February Nor'easter when she was trying to think happy thoughts.  Either that or it was the rum.  Since we both have oceans in our header photos, this could be good.

As I read through Deckside Thoughts, I was amazed to see how much Cheryl and I have in common:


Cheryl has a passion for photography that shows in her amazing photos. /  I have a camera.
Cheryl takes spectacular photos of bees. /  I kill bees.
Cheryl was a Troop Greeter at Pease International in NH.  /  I wrote a post about the Maine Troop Greeters.
Cheryl has a blog.  /  I have a blog
Cheryl lives in New England.  /  I do too!
Cheryl has some terrific blogs listed on her blog roll. / Me too!

Visiting Cheryl's blog is like visiting an old friend (pffft!  Like I'd know).  It's a comfortable place.  She sometimes writes about family, but it is certainly not a mommy blog.  She wrote about not being able to pee, but it's not a medical advice blog.  Actually, that one was pretty funny.  Shut up.  Peeing on command is not an easy thing!  Cheryl blamed local weatherman Joe Cupo for water damage in house when her husband (not her, damn it!) didn't shut the skylights during the monsoon, but she was nice about it, such a foreign concept for me.

The clincher is this though: Cheryl knows how to write, and she writes eloquently...even the pee on command post.  She has a gift for setting words to paper, or monitor in this case.

Grab a cup of coffee, sit back and check out Deckside Thoughts, a very peaceful, comfortable blog that isn't all opinionated and vile, like some other blogs out there.

Ahem.

Amen.
