That’s what she said
When I first started doing Tuesday Teasers I was hoping it would be something fun for my regular readers and that it might attract a few new readers to my blog. My little puzzle game has met those expectations. There’s been an additional benefit, though, that I had not anticipated. Each week I review a blog for my winner. My readers get an introduction to a blog they might not have visited before, the contest winner gets a little linky love and I get to explore new and interesting blogs each week. That, for me, has turned out to be as enjoyable as the puzzle itself. I’ve had some fun the last few days getting to know Kelly over at her blog, That’s what she said.
Kelly is fun. She’s young (she and hubby both recently celebrated their thirtieth birthdays) and she brings youthful enthusiasm to her blog. I know there are people out there who won’t understand or appreciate this, but I love the way she absolutely bubbled while describing a recent visit to The Old Burying Ground in Beaufort, North Carolina. See, we Southerners know that our history comes alive through the stories we find in the cities of the dead. I grew up thinking it was “normal” to routinely visit the graves of strangers and it’s something I still do today, so I knew I’d found a kindred spirit when Kelly started her post with :
“I was so dorkily excited about going to the Old Burying Ground while we were in Beaufort. We took a ghost tour on Thursday night and went by there (along with Blackbeard’s house), and heard some creepy stories. I was anxious to go back in the daytime and get some photos. ”
A ghost tour! I think I’m in love with Kelly. Okay, maybe not, but I know I’d enjoy going on vacation with her. I’d have to kennel my dogs while we traveled, though. I’m not letting her near my boys now that I know she tortures innocent animals. Sure, she says it was an accident, but I’m not going to take any chances, ya know? She’s done her penance, though, by providing a link to an animal shelter in her sidebar, so one can hope that she’s on the road to redemption.
Kelly writes well and covers a range of topics on her blog. She reviews music and books, shares her daily life and makes cookies using Alton Brown recipes. Couldn’t you just hug her for that? (Alton Brown may pretend to be a food science nerd, but I pink puffy heart him anyway.) Her blog is clean and well-organized, though it would be nice if she’d add an “about me” page for people like me who enjoy that kind of stuff. Or for people like me who want to know all about her because they have to review her blog. Just kidding, Kelly! I’ve enjoyed the research and will be back to read more. Y’all should check her out, too. She’s fun!

Oh no! Your torture link is broken and now my curiosity is all a dither! I can’t seem to find the post though.

Sorry about that, Jade. I’ve repaired the link. I’m just sipping my first cup of coffee this morning and could not figure out what you meant by “torture link” when I got it in my email, lol! I don’t usually post S/M stuff, you know? Anyway, I realized what you meant as sooon as I clicked on the post. I think I’ll have more coffee now.

Thanks for the awesome review, Skeet!
I’ll see if I can finagle an “about me” page in there somehow. Good idea.
