I like blogs that entertain, educate, and empower. A good blog keeps me coming back for more. I like blogs that stimulate my mind, make me go hmmmmm, and inspire me to greatness.

When I’m having a tough day I need a blog that will make me laugh so hard (rotflmao) that I laugh myself to tears. I appreciate a blog that provides detailed instructions on how to get something done that pertains to whatever I’m doing. I love a blog that scratches my smart aleck (smart ass) itch with lots of sarcasm and wit. When I’m totally overloaded with my reality and need a quick escape, I enjoy the mindless entertainment of a juicy celebrity gossip blog.

Blogging is often a thankless job…this is just my way of saying thank you to 50 of my favorite bloggers.
