12 Days of TECHristmas - Day 1 Results

Following in no particular order are BLOGs that are read by those participating( I will update as new ones come in):

1) http://thefightofmylife.blogspot.com/ This is because I also had a traumatic brain injury and it's nice to read about people who have similar struggles as myself.
2) http://www.morethanihopedfor.blogspot.com/ This is my sister's blog, and it's nice to keep in touch with family. Plus, my sister lost her first baby at 19.5 weeks, and it's nice to see her deal with her grief in a healthy way. She now has 2 wonderful children, but she still longs for the child she lost.
3) http://scienceblogs.com/ They have a ton of different "channels" you can click on in the various sciences, as well as other options, like environment, education, humanities, medicine- lots of options to click on.
4) http://www.rockrunner.blogs.com/ It's the pastor of my church's blog. It's just a blog where he posts his thoughts, things on the One Year Bible that our church is going through, he talks about the transition from moving from our old building to our current building, and talks about his kids.

5) http://health.yahoo.com/experts/nutrition/13933/is-breakfast-the-most-important-meal-of-the-day/comments/?pg=3 It expresses the importance of eating breakfast everyday. It also shows current research that supports how some individuals who eat breakfast actually weigh less than those that don't.

6) http://www.physicaleducationupdate.com/peblog
Nice blog's for coaches of all sports. I especially like the difference of indoor and outdoor coach's.

7) This one against my better judgement: http://www.cubsblogarmy.com/

Need I say more, a site for REAL Chicago Cub fans. Home to plenty of good rants (100 years worth) that do not have to get through the Tribune moderator on the Cubs website. Expect laughter, tears, cursing and curses. Do not mention the Goat, Leon Durham, Bill Buckner, the fan down the leftfield line who touched the foul ball, or the 2008 playoffs.


8) http://bwquiltchallenge.blogspot.com/ Lori renewed my interest in sewing with her lovely quilts. I have started quilting and find it a good way to relax and refocus. The quilt blogs are good for getting new ideas.

9) http://borderland.northernattitude.org/2008/11/13/assessments-for-learning
This is my new favorite blog to visit! It is a blog about reading skills and strategies. AWESOME! I felt like I was talking to someone that was "speaking the same language as me."


10) http://www.spanish-only.com/2008/11/spanish-word-day
interesting spanish words of the day with explanations and examples of it being used. Some normal words and some swear words too.

11) http://bakebakebake.livejournal.com/
People sharing tips on how to bake better banana breads.

12) http://news.exploreminnesota.com/explore-minnesota-winter-trails-report-december-4-2008/
Minnesota winter trail conditions for snowmobilers (or if you live in Alaska or Canada "snowmachiners")

13) http://math-blog.com/
Kind of helpful - some fun math brain teasers and other teacher resources. Also homework help - trust me I need it sometimes so that I am one step ahead of the kids.

I got to this one through another blog. I'm not sure if it's a blog or not but cool stuff on there.
I'm still a little shy - so I didn't join - I know - Loser!


14) http://buncomamas.blogspot.com/
here's my spot. I often contemplate the creation of a book about bunco (not the game), the life. Here's a blog that reminds me of my put-off want...

15) http://blog.thecrochetdude.com/
I enjoy crocheting, so this was a good place for me to start blogging.

16) http://doug-johnson.squarespace.com/
Doug Johnson is the guru for librarians and technology folks. He is funny and always gives me good tips...Read him when I can


17) I found a rockin' blog - http://www.1000recordings.com/music/legend-arab-music/ It's from a mothership blog called "1,000 Recordings to Hear Before You Die," and this particular portion is all about Arab music with major emphasis on singer Oum Kalthoum, who is the best-known Arab singer and was always called Kawkab Al Sharq, which means Star of the East. I've always been interested in her and her music, and I have a friend from Egypt who confirmed just what a national celebrity she is!
