I wonder why discussions of bodily functions can be so darn hilarious. A blog that I read frequently ran a contest recently about embarassing farts. Yes, you read that right. And the entries for the contest are in the comments section. Go there and prepare to do some laughing: ShaunaGlenn

My family seems to revel in the awesomeness of their gas-passing. I, on the other hand, am the prude of the family. The kill-joy, if you please. I frown upon their gross public displays of gassiness. But, I do understand there are times when a person has to do what a person has to do. And as you will find when you go to Shauna Glenn's Letterrip contest, people have emitted some amazing sounds and fluids from their hind ends in some pretty embarassing locales.

Mommy Rage

Here is an opinion piece by writer Denise Albert about her Mommy Rage. You should see the comments that are pouring in about this on their website!

She reminds me of someone I used to be very good friends with, but shall hereby remain nameless. That friend of mine had the same attitude as this Denise Albert. And to quote her: "Yes, I have mommy rage. I don’t hide my feelings, and if you make me angry you will know it...the bottom line is I know what I want, what I like, and how to get it done." That is just a sampling.
 

I like to read blogs from people in other countries. I love to see what their life is like and peek into their day to day activities.

Here is a new blog I recently started to visit. Irish Cottage Dreams is a look inside the life of a blogger in a small village in Ireland:

There is no sense in me discussing the arctic freeze that is gripping the nation this week. We all already know about it. And I am on the Texas gulf coast were it is practically balmy. We are at 33 degrees right now. The reason I say it is balmy is because I was looking at the weather.com map of current temperatures and those poor souls in Montana are sitting around in -21 degree weather. That's a full 54 degrees colder than us! So I'm not complaining. Much. I'm sure I'll be doing some complaining when the power and gas bills arrive next month.

In other news, I wanted to push this great website I visit often: Aiming Low: Taking Low To New Heights. This website glorifies those who aim not to strive constantly for perfection. it is made up of a whole gang of women who write about their lack of perfection. They positively revel in it. How refreshing is that?
