Six degrees of separation
It's 2:30am and I can't sleep, thanks in large part to a nearly 3 hour nap I took when I laid down with Robbie at bedtime. I've hit all my usual internet haunts. I've watched Ace of Cakes and The Office on DVR and am now half-way through American Idol. And I'm still awake.
So I decided to play my own game of "Six Degrees of Separation." I randomly clicked on one of my followers: Jennifer and followed her profile to her blog Savings Chatter. That's the 1st degree.
2nd degree: One of Jennifer's followers, again selected at random, whose name is also Jennifer. Her blog Rundpinne "showcases my exploits in knitting and life in general."
3rd degree: From Rundpinne, I ended up on Crazy Book Slut (sorry for the language, that's really what it's called) written by Tena.
4th degree: Tena didn't have any followers displayed, so I picked a blog off her blog roll and found my way to The Chic Geek.
5th degree: For this one, I thought it was time for a male blogger, so I clicked on one of The Chic Geek's guy followers. It turned out to be Tranquility Jones' site Montana-tude. Hmmm...maybe Tranquility is what I need for that restlessness I described earlier?
Last stop, 6th degree: Appropriately the last site is The Surly Writer written by Michelle Hickman of Pennsylvania.
Well, that was fun. Check out these sites, maybe you'll find a new fave to add to your list (as long as it doesn't replace the 4th Frog!). Or try the 6 Degrees game on your blog.
Now I am starting to get tired. Finally. Just in time to squeeze in 3 hours of sleep!

I do that all the time--how do you think I came across THE FOURTH FROG BLOG?!! lol So many great minds out there for us to peek into!
Great idea! :) You never know what great blogs you will find that way!
Thanks so much for mentioning me in your post and dropping by.
I have done the same, leap-frogging from blog to blog (figured that choice of wording would be appropriate here). It is never a dull moment. :)
Hi Amy :) Thanks for visiting me and linking to my site! You, have a lovely blog. I'm having a wonderful time here and I think I'll just have to follow you too :)
Have a Great Day!
I had a problem with sleeping last night myself. Thanks for the links, I'll check them the next sleepless night. :-)
What fun! Thank you for linking me. :) I am going to play this on my blog.
Amy! Thanks for the shout out, and thanks for visiting Montanatude!
You're welcome here in Montana anytime... first drink is on me ;)
Best,
