A Cup of Coffee and a Chat

I realized I shouldn't take this site so seriously. I am an aspiring freelance writer, and I work hard doing research on my blogs, try to make them informative, and interesting. But I am realizing that a lot of users on Shine just want to have a cup of coffee and chat. Nothing fancy, just some good old-fashioned chit chat over a hot cup of java.

OK, I can do that. I'll put aside the notes and the bookmarks, take my shoes and glasses off and join you in a lively conversation over....what? What would you like to talk about? I'm game; it's open to anything you like.

In fact, it's nice to not have to work so hard for a change. Just kick back, relax, and enjoy the sunshine. I'm all for that!

So what kinds of blogs do you guys like to read? Which ones have you read so far today? Any you would recommend?

One of my favorite writers on Shine is Sarah Jio, who is also a Health and Fitness blogger on Galmour.com. Her blogs are always fun to read and very informative; so check her out.

What are you guys doing this weekend? I haven't figured it out yet, but we'll probably be outside a lot more; here in Washington it's finally getting warm enough to call it 'summer.' It's 80 today. I'll probably watch a little anime too; I like to watch Death Note, Fullmetal Alchemist, Mushi-shi, XxxHolic, and I'm also just getting into Angelic Layer and Tsubasa.

My cat Mokana is sound asleep on my husband's recliner. The other night she kept me up half the night wanting to play and getting into trouble. We've only had her a few weeks and we're still getting used to the idea of having a pet other than fish. She is beautiful and sweet, but also very playful and mischevious. If you'd like to read more about her, see my blog, Pics of my new kitty.

What kinds of blogs do you guys like to write? I write all kinds; whatever sounds fun and informative. I would love to read some of your blogs, so let me know what you got cookin'!

Thanks for reading, and enjoy your day!

    A lot of people read more than write. I know I do, especially in the morning over a cup of Jo. (don’t ask, who's Jo lol) I sometimes intend on replying to something interesting but you know as well as I, how easy it is to get sided tracked on here. I read everything.... personal blogs about life, love, death.. sports although only blogs written about the Dodgers lol I also read political blogs.. I am extremely opinionated on that subject but i will save my soap box for my own blog lol

    What am I doing this weekend you ask Hmmm... as you know, I really don't have much of a life away from my computer.. alas sad but true. I guess I will spend it doing what I normally do, chatting and checking baseball scores.. maybe blog a little... we shall see ;)
