Thought I’d give a shout out to my favorite hangouts.  Listed below (in no particular order) are the places that I stalk hangout on a daily basis.  They are mostly blogs because I don’t visit a lot of forums as much as I used to.  But, I am a BLOG ADDICT!

So as not to make this a super long post, I’ll post my favorite hangouts in 3 parts. 

I found someone to “pimp my blog”.  Her name is Lara and she owns Designed by Lara.  Lara has some beautiful custom wordpress blog designs on her site, stop by and check out her designs.
