Oh, How I Miss You Blogfest


Today I’m doing something a bit different. I’m participating in the Oh, How I Miss You Blogfest given to us by:




Thanks Andrew, Alex, and Matt!

Next week we’ll get back to regular scheduling, but you know me, I just can’t resist a good blogfest.

Who I miss:

B at Faith Laces- This woman is amazing. I met her on the last A to Z when she was eight months pregnant and using her blog as kind of a diary to keep as a record of the last couple months of her pregnancy. And she’s a runner. As in marathon runner. I know she’s busy with her new baby and keeping up her running pace, but boy do I miss her.

Elise Fallson- I love Elise. She is funny and witty and sweet. And she went away for about a month and I really missed her daily insights. But the good news is, it appears she’s back!


Who I would miss:

Jaybird- Sorry I don’t know if this is her real name or not, I’ve looked and that’s all I’ve come up with, which tells me she’s a pretty private person, but you’d never know that because her posts are so open and authentic. She is very generous with herself, sharing herself on her posts. I feel like we’re old friends every time I read them. I would really miss you Jay!

There are of course a lot more of you I would miss than just Jay, but she has always felt like a kindred spirit.

Who would you/do you miss?

  2. Too many to share - this was hard deciding which bloggers to mention! You've picked some wonderful choices here though!

  4. These seem like wonderful choices. Although I don't know them, I'm sure they've been as supportive (thus why they are missed or invaluable to you), as my closest mates have been to me. Nice to meet you!

  15. Aw! Thanks for the beautiful mention Mel. And thanks for all of the other comments from the peanut gallery- I love you all too! xoxo (For the record, my real name is Jennifer. But that's just too formal for someone like me I guess cause most of my friends/family call me Jay or Jen- or even Jenny.)

  16. Yeah, I'd miss Elise too. Wait.... :P
    Thanks hon, I miss blogging as much as I used to and miss connecting with wonderful bloggers like you. And I do so miss your awesome flash fiction. You are one of the best writers of flash fic I know. Truly love your stuff. Lately, I've been trying to use the spirit of NaNo to catch up on some of my editing and it's been crazy. But thanks for the mention, it means a lot to me. (: I don't know the other bloggers you mentioned, but I'll check them out. Have a good weekend!

  19. Looks like a great list of people.

    P.S. How you doing? Just lost track of your space in between. Sorry. :)

  20. I miss many friends who moved too far away, to Seattle, Australia and Korea. Can't ever see them physically, and struggle to keep them in my electronically. I think we all lose people to that in this world.
