Hi blog readers. Just a quick note to point you to two new blogs in (on?) our blogroll that y’all might enjoy. First, we’ve been reading Little Southern House on the Prairie for some months. It’s written by a former Chicago Tribune reporter who decided to embrace voluntary simplicity. She quit her job, moved to North Carolina and is expecting her first child literally any day now. Now, you know we (well I at least) am something of a cynic, so trust me when I tell you that there is nothing self-righteous or cloyingly moralistic about Emily’s blog. She’s a fantastic writer with lots of funny stories. Check it out.
Second, we just learned about another Northfield blog, Blowing and Drifting, written by a colleague at Carleton. Nice pictures of Northfield, amazingly detailed posts about cross country skiiing and notes/reflections on life with two kids. Perhaps this will be us in a few years time?
And Emily insists that I direct you to her favorite website I Can Has Cheezeburger?
Thank you so much for this extremely nice and generous shout-out. You guys ARE above average and good looking.
Tell me you are kidding about Emily, because if her LOL cats love is true then our sisterhood is even stronger than previously believed. Because I can’t not smile at this:

And I laughed for like a week at this:

I get a lot done during the day.
Thanks! (I hope “amazingly detailed” doesn’t mean “painfully verbose and boring.”)
