I'm so DUHHH!

I can't believe that I have never linked to my two very favorite blogs here. Do I have a problem with sharing??? I've remedied that today in the links on the right.

The very first blog I ever read and to which I was instantly addicted was Loretta Marvel's Pomegranates and Paper. From there, I found Autumn Cottage Diarist and found Roz Cawley who lives in a beautiful English cottage with a lovely garden, collecting wonderful books and other things. While I'm happy to be me, I've always wanted to be both of these talented women. I could be an artist/writer/mom/daughter/chef/lawyer living near NYC with my finger on the pulse of what's happening, right? OK, I could if the thought of being in NYC all alone didn't practically petrify me! I'm much more comfortable four-wheeling on top of a mountain somewhere in Colorado where there's no cell phone coverage than I'd ever be walking down a crowded street in New York.

OK, so maybe I can't be them. But I can get glimpses of their worlds enough to let me enjoy the fantasy of being them while remaining safely here in H-E-Double Hockeysticks, AZ, being me.

And the beauty of blogging and the internet is that I can do it all while I'm sitting here in my jammies!
