I'm a newbie to this whole blogging thing, so I'm enjoying trying new things and just poking around. I recently participated in the ProBlogger Top 5 contest with my post on porn searches that mistakenly lead people to this blog. It was fun, drove a ton of traffic here (and some traffic to 12 Step recovery groups!) and I got to read a lot of great blogs I wouldn't otherwise have found.

My Top 5 Top 5's

• Songs That Make Me Insanely Happy -- These songs make me insanely happy too.
• The 5 things you need to survive a toddler -- I liked the comment about sleep in light of my previous posts on sleep deprivation
• Top 5 Indicators of Sustainable Coffee -- I don't even drink coffee and this was interesting. All I could think was, "Wow, who know there was so much to know about sustainable coffee growth?"
• 5 Cool Things You Can Do With Your DNA -- Ok, I'm a geek, but I find genetic science really fascinating.
• The Top Five Most Annoying/BEST Things about Parenting a Large Adoptive Family -- This was funny and sweet.

Honorable Mentions (I just couldn't bear to cut these out of the list entirely!)

• Top 5 Reasons to Marry a Geek -- because I did marry a geek and I really do love geeks!
• Top 5 reasons why it’s bad to be a good listener -- I'd say it's bad to be a codependent listener, but still...
• Top 5 Reasons Why Pencils are Environmentally Friendly -- I love these kinds of easy things you can do to be good to the Earth. Duh! Why didn't I think of this!
