Week-End Review: This week around the blogiverse

Two weeks from today, we’ll be waking up on Christmas morning! Guess we’d better get our tree up soon, hadn’t we? To those of you who will be lighting the menorah and starting your celebration tonight, Happy Chanukah!

Dispatches: Links of the Week

Lots of holiday-themed links this week, but hopefully not an overdose like I gave you last week!

Gifts that give back; gifts you probably shouldn’t give (or might give away if you got them); ways to freshen up those holiday newsletters. Also in Holiday News: a “do’s and don’ts” gift guide for husbands; a parent has “the talk” with a son…about the Busted Claus(e)

Literary-themed Christmas trees!

If you’re really worried about “protecting marriage,” this probably IS the next logical(?) step… Somewhat related: Those who have the right to get married may choose not to exercise it – and that choice could cost them

Do you ever think about changing how you blog because of what readers might want? Also: musing about anonymity and psuedonymnity in an oddly appropriate place: as a guest on someone else’s blog

It seems like there are some things you never outgrow (especially if you’re a nerd)


Blogthings Quiz of the Week

Your Soul Is Connected to the Winter
You approach life with a zen-like calm that other people envy. Nothing rattles you.
You are smart, thoughtful, and very serious. You don’t stress out, but you don’t take much lightly.

You like to keep to yourself, and you’ve been called shy – even if you don’t consider yourself that way.
You prefer a cozy, quiet life filled with ideas, books, and maybe a few friends.

Blogthings: Take a Quiz. Annoy Your Friends.

I’m inclined to agree with this one, but while my soul may be connected to winter, my body is not! We’ve had some chilly weather (and rain!) in SoCal lately – seasonally appropriate, but still…BRRRRRR! This is about as much winter as I really want, thank you very much.

  1. I forgot to blog this week. LOL I've at least been visiting blogs more than in recent weeks. It's a start. 🙂

    I liked the list of gifts you shouldn't give. Haha I think many of us could add a few items of our own to it.

    Oh, how I could relate to Liz's post about never outgrowing being a nerd!

    I am winter too, which probably won't surprise you. 🙂

  2. Wendy (Literary Feline) – Liz's post definitely rang bells for me too :-).

    I'm glad you've been visiting blogs more often this week, but I hope you'll get around to posting a bit more this week yourself!

    And no, I'm not surprised you're also a winter :-D.
