I feel like I know you so much better now!
Great job on the About Me page! I think everyone should do the same thing!
Very cool ... I liked your "vlog" ... and your 100 random facts! The Little Prince is one of my top 5 pieces of literature (ever!) ... and I agree about swimming in lakes (EW!). Nice to know you better.
Nice to met you! I just came by way of the Problogger Forum. I'm bad at returning calls too. :0( Gotta run . . .
I also saw you in the Problogger forum. I thought the name of you blog was interesting and had to check it out. You have a really nice design.
Not every one can have 100 things to say about themselves, so good for you.. I also like the idea of the short video you have. Maybe I will copy it on my blog. now, I have a question, how did you learn to can "party" in Arabic?

thanks for taking the time out to share. I really do love getting to know people better. Maybe it's the psychologist in me..lol
Sarah Mae - I would LOVE to meet you in person one day! :) I loved your list and your video!! Thanks for sharing - it was grea to get a glimpse into the "real you".
Sarah Mae,
I take it from your 100's post that you tell it like it is. I admire that.
You sound like a lot of fun. I like to read your posts. That's why I have your button on my blog.
I think I would like to go to Italy some day too.
I like to write poems. I listed one today on my blog.
What is a slam poem? (Sorry, I am 58)
I like to read, but haven't been doing too much of it since I have been blogging. Too much to read here in blogland.
I wish I could have a little more energy these days,...but I have a great life.
It sounds like you are a joyful person too.
I look forward to knowing you better as the blogs go by.
Linda @ Truthful Tidbits
I've been reading your blog lately but I am so glad I managed to read this today and listen to your introduction video clip. Now I can say please to meet you Sarah Mae, my name is Nadine, Dina on bloggy world :)
If you are ever in Oxford, Ohio, check out Kofenya. It's an awesome independent coffee shop with worn out furniture (and old movie theater seats for the booths!) interesting art work, budding musicians on weekend-nights, and lots of college students from Miami U hanging out. My favorite cozy coffee place, just thought I'd share it with you :-)
Great list! I have been reading your blog for a couple of weeks now and finally visited this page. It feels like I "know" you so much better now. My blog is still in the beginning stages, I'm going to remember this idea. I LOVE Settlers of Catan!
"Virtuous what I used to be in search of and fairly thoroughgoing as surface. Many thanks for placard this, I saw a yoke diverse related posts but yours was the optimum so considerably. I outlook it stays up to date, appreciate worry."
