One major favorite, which has me laughing out loud is "Go Fug Yourself" http://gofugyourself.celebuzz.com/ which is basically two hilarious girls in los angeles writing really snarky things about celebrities based on their outfits and stuff. They have grown really popular over the years and apparently, as of the last month or so, they have started accepting huge advertisements all around their content. I think that is so ugly, and really ruins the look of a fun site. But I guess that's how the bloggers get paid.
Another totally random one is called "Dooce" http://dooce.com/ which is some lady's funny posts about things in her life. She's pretty old school as far as blogs go and I've been looking at her site over the past six plus years. During that time she has gotten married, moved from los angeles to utah, had a baby, etc. Anyway, she's one of those "professional" bloggers who developed such a following of readers that doing her blog now supports her whole family and is all she does. Again, she sells ads on her site now.
"Overheard in New York" totally cracks me up. The basic premise is that people send in snippets of conversations they've, uh, overheard in new york....http://www.overheardinnewyork.com/ Warning: though it doesn't show naughty pictures, much of the content is NSFW and is a bit risque.
So far, in terms of what I am going to do for my blog, I'm thinking either something about how much I love my pitt bull, Alibi, or maybe how to move to a different state six times in a year and a half, which is something I recently did...But I'm going to think more about this.

I have never read Dooce, but I just read about it (literally, earlier tonight) in a list of the 50 Most Influential Blogs. Sounds like a good read.
I forgot the link to that that list of influential blogs. Dooce ranked #5.
Advice on how to move would be neat and really hlepful. It's one the most stressful life events there is. I bought my first house a few years ago, so I've never been in a selling-one-house-while-buying-another situation. I can't imagine how people do it.
Ug, I've never had to buy or sell a house yet! Everytime I move I bring my dog and usually a very large duffle bag. Then I'll mail myself a few boxes...But I am totally wanting to buy a house and the experience seems very intimidating!
Your dog is so cute! I know that you’re now leaning towards the booklet site, but if you’re still on the fence, an informative site about pitt bulls and your personal experiences raising Alibi sounds like a good idea too. The majority of dogs in Philadelphia shelters are pitt bulls or pitt mixes and there are a lot of misconceptions about this breed that make people reluctant to adopt. -Beth
