Good morning!
Angela here…
but wishing I was there…
Instead of here…
While Kath is off gallivanting on her Bermuda Cruise, I am clearly hard at work!
‘Hard At Work’ (H.A.W) = Daydreaming and looking over old pictures, specifically honeymoon pictures!
I would like to argue that daydreaming first thing in the morning activates my sleepy cells (technical word) and prepares them for actual work.
Anyone with me on this?? ;)
The truth is I am actually preparing for a VIM (very important meeting) this morning so I threw this post together last night since I will be busy with that and unable to post.
I thought I would put together some of my most popular posts for shits and giggles!
- Are you a new reader to Oh She Glows and wondering where to start?
- Or do you have this sneaking suspicion that despite your best efforts you have missed some of my 578 posts that you would really enjoy to go back and read?
Yes, I said 578 posts. It is no wonder my wee poor fingers are even working at this point!
Sit back, relax, and don’t let your boss catch you slacking off! ;)
Here we go…

Hey Angela,
I’m a new reader of your blog and I really love it!
Since I haven’t read all of your posts yet, I can’t pick a fave. But I just wanted to reply to this post because, WOW! What a gorgeous cat you have! What kind is he? So adorable!
-Karly
Such cute pictures of Sketchie and thanks so much for the recap! Since I only started reading your blog a month or so ago, I’ve clearly missed a lot and it’s nice to see how it all began!
Hope your meeting went well this AM!
i look forward to rereading some of these!
Sketchie is a Bengal cat! He has 7th generation Asian Leopard in him :) And he is a loose canon! bahaha ~A
Sketchie is beautiful!
I loved your post on KERF, I am definitely making that recipe soon. My favorite posts on your blog have been the one about women comparing themselves to other women and the one about learning to love your body.
Thank you for the orientation post! I’ve just started following your blog and I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to find it. Can’t wait to read more!
Oh I’m dying Sketchie is so dang cute. I’m in love with my two babies Maverick and Annabelle. They are the most spoiled kitties in the hood :) Love kitty cuddles :)
cool post! i am going to have to read through some of the older posts; i only starting reading in the past month or so (and glad i did, of course!).
love the kitten pictures!
Gosh, that cat is so adorable! Those kitten pictures made me giggle. Love it! And of course, the rest of your post was great too ;-)
I’m new to OSG so this post was perfect for me! I’m 2 years post undergrad and still hanging on to my freshman 20. The healthy eating, positive body image, and general wellness posts (and ensuing discussions) are daily motivation for me! Thank you! Off to fill my water bottle…
I love your posts!! WHAT KIND of CAT is that?? He is SOOO CUTE!! Like a mini cheetah!! HAha!
I think I might have to get a Bengal cat. Those mid-air shots are totally priceless.
I came across your blog by happy accident a few weeks ago (someday I’ll divulge how what crazy Google search led me to you *wink*)and todays post was perfect for a newbie like me. I adore your blog and I look forward to reading it every day. I feel so similar to you and your stories on so many levels!
Funny note – in your honeymoon pictures there is one of you walking up Odos Ermou in Athens towards Syntagma. I have almost the same picture taken by my husband of me in the SAME spot! Did you just die when you saw the shoe stores on that street?!
So glad to have become part of your little cyber world – I’m enjoying myself immensely.
I just love seeing pictures of your cat, he’s so precious. I would love to get a Bengal kitty!!
LOLOL@ the ninja photo! Great action shot
Thanks for the recap. I can’t wait to read past posts… especially the one with wedding pictures! I love weddings (I’m attending the first one of the 09 season this weekend) such fun times!
OMG your cat is SO CUTE!! =) Love the first photo.
I heart those photos of sketchie! he’s all stretched out like an accordian… i love it!! :-)
