Throwback Thursday # 43: Best of Blogs 2010

"If there's a book you really want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it." ~Toni Morrison

Well because this is my last Throwback Thursday for the year, I've decided to look back over this year's blogs and do a list of my favorite posts for 2010.

The plan was for there to be a "Top 10" list, but I couldn't narrow it down to 10, and everyone I asked for help added a new blog to the list. So....we're calling the "Best of" instead! I've hyperlinked each blog so that you can quickly go back and read them if you want and I've tried to give you a little taste of what each was about.

I'd love to hear which blogs have been YOUR favorites! Comment below!

General Blogs:

Dumping the Girl Friends (A little discussion of why a girlfriend/wife should not make a guy cut all female friends out of his life)
