Appropriately Named - Names that fit in amusing ways, like Dr. Popwell, chiropractor. Infrequently udated but there are a lot of fun names in the archives.
Bliss - Another Oklahoma blogger. History, nostalgia, life in general. Great tag line: Life is full of cactus but we don’t have to sit on it.
The View From the Pines - Lots of photos of the garden and a few of home decor, animals, people; brief commentary. I like this. Interesting: About: “I am an Oklahoma girl who moved to Texas as an adult.” That’s interesting to me because I’m a Texas girl who moved to Oklahoma as an adult. (via several other states)
This is Why You’re Fat - “Deliciously gross food.” Mostly just gross, in my opinion. This is one food blog that might actually help you lose weight. One look and you’ll lose your appetite. Although… to be honest, I wouldn’t mind having a much smaller version of “The Homewrecker”. (no permalinks, unfortunately) It’s a huge hot dog topped with jalapeƱos, habanero chili sauce, coleslaw, diced tomatoes and a mound of cheese. Oh, and it’s deep fried. I could skip that part.
Retrospace - The 60s and 70s. Great fun!
Omniscience Inc. - Unique, interesting and entertaining. Infrequently updated. I like this picture.
Linda’s Bees - A beekeeper’s blog and it’s actually updated regularly! (Almost every other bee blog I’ve found has been abandoned for months.) Very informative. I’m excited about this one.
Hark! A Vagrant - Cartoons about Victorian era history.
Not From Around Here - Very interesting, well-written American perspective on life in the UK.
Riverside Rambles - Culture, nature, all sorts of observations. Excellent.

Hey, thanks for the shout-out! Now I’m trying to figure out who the heck you are…
I’ll have to prowl through your archives…

Prowl away. I’m nobody; just me.
I can’t remember where I found you. Probably in someone else’s blogroll or comments. That’s where I find most blogs.

Hark, a Vagrant! is hilarious. I’ll have to go through all her archives when I actually have time to do such.

Thanks! I miss Virginia, which is where I lived before I moved to the UK–I was in Charlottesville for a year and grew up in Herndon.
