As Good as it Gets, Blogwise.

When I was younger, I was a voracious reader.  It didn't matter what I read - if there was print on a page - I would read it.  

I had read the whole "Lion, Witch and Wardrobe" series before grade four and was already delving into science fiction and historical tomes by seventh grade.  No "romance paperbacks" for me!  

I still love to read, but I have adjusted to electronic stuff as of late, although I still believe there is nothing better than the smell of a freshly printed page. (Yes, that's me, sniffing books in Chapters!)

Then you run into a blog that *really* stands out.

You know, the one that compels us to go back to the beginning of their blog and read every single post in order  - end to end.

Check this blog out: 

"What makes you think I have cats?" - authored by Betsy*. 

Honest to God, I was sitting in my little office space on my breaks yesterday -  laughing so hard that I was disturbing my co-workers.  I just couldn't help it.   I don't often howl out loud whilst reading, but Betsy really has The Gift.

If you are having a bad day, this blog is guaranteed to cheer you up.   Something like watching "Seinfeld".   Actually, it's a LOT like "Seinfeld".  Betsy transforms her ordinary office life into a sitcom.  There are actually a lot of parallels to the world of nursing.   Very clever writing. Check out the "horoscopes".  Where does this come from?  I wonder at the imaginations of people who write this stuff.

Mostly, I read nursing and nursing student's blogs, but occasionally I come across a blog that is so witty...  I can't get enough.  I want her to write more.  Yes, this one is that good.  

Gee, I love good writing. *sigh*

It's like eating a peanut butter and cucumber sandwich. Crunchy, fresh and flavorful, with a sprinkle of sugar -   it has you wanting more.




* I found Betsy's blog via "It's Always Something" - Lois Sterns - another great writer, who was mentioned in Head Nurse's blog, which is, by the way - the other blog I read from end to end like a book...
