Reviewing the Reader #3

As in what have I read in Google Reader recently?  When I'm stuck somewhere with time to kill, I open Google Reader on my Evo and devour blogs.  I subscribe to a wide variety--from frugal living/budgeting hacks to up-close-and-personal peeps I know.  Here are some interesting blog posts in no particular order:

Blogger Appreciation Day / February 2011: I love this idea of looking at your blog’s metrics from the previous month and then listing your top traffic providers as a way of saying thank you.  I might steal use it.

Surfsens is One Tricked Out Surfboard: Duke Kahanamoku would roll over in his grave and Eddie Aikau would NOT go if they heard about this surfing innovation.  Some things just don’t have to be improved upon.

12 Frugal Apps that Make it Hip to be Square:  I love GroceryIQ! Must get CouponSherpa . . .

Another Seal Sighting in Kaaawa:  This is a beach we drive by when we go to Kaneohe or the airport.  Seeing a seal sunning itself is pretty common although because Hawaiian Monk Seals are endangered we’re not allowed to get close to it.   Still it’s definitely on the list of things that make us ‘lucky we live Hawai’i’.

Create Time to Change Your Life:  This blog post is simple and profound (Leo Barbuta’s M.O., actually) and I was happy to see that already doing many of the streamlining steps he recommends.  Except waking up early—must work on that.

Plan the Blog;  Blog the Plan / Pro Blogger
Is it already time to revisit New Year's resolutions and check your progress?  If you want to succeed, it is!  Blogging is a dynamic venue where its easy to see how far you've come--most enjoyable if you set goals along the way--

3 Children's Movies that Made Me Weep / Life as Mommy
This is a blog that draws me in for the recipes and meal plans.  Then I end up staying for more.  Like this movies list.  I've only seen one of them--and it didn't make me weep.  But I enjoyed this list! (and stayed to read Create Easy Meals that Share Ingredients.)

Basket of Organizing Love Giveaway / Organizing Junkie
This looks like a fun giveaway! (Linds, this is for you, hon!) Go for the organizing love, people!

What's the Deal with Open Source? / Lifehacker
Lifehacker to my rescue as usual.  And an astute explanation complete with innovative use of non-sexist pronouns!  Which of course led me to stay and read Silent Time Automatically Silences Your Android Phone Based on the Time of Day.  And download the app.

I joined Weight Watchers / Annette Funnyjello
This is my round-about way of saying I've joined WW this year as well.  I'm on my fourth (but first deadly-serious-about-following-the-plan) week.  Wish me, Annette Funnyjello and her BFF some luck!

Pesto Minestrone Soup Slow Cooker Recipe
If loving this recipe is wrong, I don't wanna be right.  Just the ingredients list is enough to get my mouth watering.  We'll be making this soon at my house.

10 Things that will cost less in 2011
I love prediction articles like this.  And I only believe about half of these items will drop that low.

Learning the Frugal Ropes from Mom
I love that these girls completely researched a trip to the American Girls Place and gave the whole thing a tightwad makeover.  And then I loved that their moms followed through with their kids' thoughtful planning and took them on that trip.  Frugal warm fuzzies for everyone!

Things You Never Say to a Working Mom
Not sure which I love more about this article--the way the blogger teases out the complexity of the problem or the healthy dose of snark she heaps out with it.  I'm not the only one (180 comments!).

DIY Paper Management System Keeps the Kitchen Clutter-Free
I'm *this* close to showing my husband this post so we can analyze and execute.  And have more counter space.
