Good Reads for the Weekend

Image via Wikipedia

I have been a very busy blogger this week. You can find me featured in three different places around the blogosphere, which is a personal record! Two of my posts you have already read if you visit here frequently, but that's no excuse not to visit both the ChronicBabe and Grand Rounds blog carnivals because there are plenty of other great posts featured. The third is my debut post at Colloquy Moms, where I am a new weekly contributing blogger.

First up is the ChronicBabe blog carnival where the theme this time was PASSION. I submitted my post Have Fun Every Day, but there are others there that sound intriguing like The Passion Thief, Love, Sex, Magic ... and Chronic Pain and Find Your Passion, Find You LIFE! So click here and be transported to the ChronicBabe website where you can read these and eight more great posts about passion, all written by ChronicBabes just like me.

Next is Grand Rounds, the medical blog carnival, hosted this time by my friend Steve at Adventures of a Funky Heart! Steve featured my post Health Care Reform: Will It Limit My FSA?, which is an issue that is ongoing and deserves your attention. There are also posts about dancing with your doctor, nurturing the practitioners of Woo and the lowdown on MRI love. Click here to read all the featured posts and get in touch with the pulse of medicine on the Internet today.

Finally, here is my first post from my new gig as a weekly contributing blogger over at Colloquy Moms. I love that I get to expand my writing horizons and talk about 'normal' stuff when I blog there. This week I wrote about how-to Make the Perfect Steak for Father’s Day, based in part on my own adventures in grilling in my back yard where I wear the 'Kiss the Cook' apron while sitting in front of the barbecue.

So include these blog posts into your weekend plans and be sure to spread some comment love along the way.

OMA&P! featured in the Grand Rounds Blog Carnival

Wow, I am actually part of Grand Rounds, a medical blog carnival with doctors, patients and other health care commentators, oh my! This is very cool (virtual) company indeed. And the post that is featured is Not Feeling Like a Lady in the Doctor's Office, which I have to admit has had me chuckling ever since I posted it on Sunday--just in time to be included in this blog carnival. Pretty good work, in my humble opinion, considering I was totally stumped about what to write when I first read that the theme for this edition was ladylike.

Here is what Jenni at ChronicBabe.com, the host for this edition of Grand Rounds, had to say about my post:

Let's Get Introspective

Selena of Oh My Aches and Pains! ponders the health care system, and how it's a lot like dating...and what it means to feel less than ladylike at the doctor's office.

So head on over to Grand Rounds Vol. 6 No. 31: So ladylike! and read all the featured posts. Be sure to leave these bloggers some nice comments too. Thanks to Jenni for including me.

Oh My Aches and Pains! featured in Grand Rounds Blog Carnival

I am so honored to be chosen as one of the bloggers participating in the Grand Rounds Blog Carnival - Volume 5.47 hosted by Invisible Illness Week.

Check me out under the heading "New Teachers."

"And then we have to get to know these new doctors, explain our whole story again, decide if we like him or her, and see if the doctor will even “accept” us as a patient. Selena writes in Tomorrow I See a New Doctor how shifting her attitude from seeking a cure for her illness to self-management is an important step."

Thank you for including me Lisa Copen and Invisible Illness Week!
