Blogosphere Check 1-2, 1-2...

Its a beautiful day in the neighborhood, and The Professional intends to have a fabulous weekend that includes lots of football, food and fun :-)

As you prepare for your own weekend, please enjoy the following great reads from around the blogosphere...

• Last week, Kat of BAPworld had the incredible honor of being a polling station monitor in the state of Ohio. Read her touching description of the experience, how it renewed her dedication to law school and how she has pledged herself to changing the way we vote in this country.

• Upscale Swagger reports that Louis Vuitton has patented its own diamond cuts that resemble the LV Monogram shapes, of course. So now, you can have the corresponding bling to your handbags, scarves, clothing, shoes and other accessories. There is no hating on this: the LV Monogram diamonds are an idea that The Professional is in love with.

And finally...

• The Fly Guy Chronicles is a brilliant love advice site that dispenses said advice with fresh candor, style and humor that is unmatched. This week, The Fly Guy wrote "Examining 5 Common Relationship Myths" all of which were a great reminder that there is no "recipe," no "standard" by which relationships can be monitored. Make sure you're not puttin' the 2-on-the-10 in your relationship by checking yourself against The Fly Guy's notes. You'll be glad you did :-)
