This morning I woke up to find a comment in my inbox from a writer at <a href="http://matadornetwork.com/abroad/" target="_blank">Matador Abroad</a> which is a travel website and  platform for expatriates and travelers to share first-person narrative about experiences abroad.

Turns out that my blog made a top 20 list--<a href="http://matadornetwork.com/abroad/20-awesome-expat-blogs/" target="_blank">2o Awesome Expat Blogs</a>. Oh. How nice is that. My blog is #7 on the list--although it's really not ranking. You know if I tell you what number it is you can skip over it and check out the 19 other blogs on the list. Which you should.

The post starts with this:
<blockquote>Some expat blogs are simple; some are ranting, and some are way too personal. Luckily, there’s another class of blogs from those living overseas.

These are the truly great blogs; the ones you can visit over and over. For sharp writing, quality photography, or wry humour, these blogs stand out from the pack.</blockquote>
Wow.  I'm blushing.

A lot.

Man, I hope this doesn't give me writer's block. That would suck.

What doesn't suck? That <a href="http://matadornetwork.com/author/anne-merritt/" target="_blank">Anne Merritt</a> took the time to put all of these great blogs together in one place. She's made it so much easier for me to find some new blog crushes.

The only problem? I'd rather browse blogs than do work.
