Blogs

I try to post about once a day, as I know that I check blogs I read frequently. Really, its too frequently to admit. Recently, I discovered the feeds option, and that keeps me from clicking on a blog 100-200 times in a day (what, wait, did I admit something?) to see if its updated. That's freed up a lot of my time which I use to... to... read more blogs. Ugh! I admitted it! I'm up to about sixty blogs which I check daily, and I read even more every day.

After noticing how my list had grown exponentially, I realized that some of those people I read I really just can't stand. So I eliminated about four. That still leaves me with around fifty-five blogs to check daily! Holy smokes.

I spend an increasing amount of time on the computer as my snow-filled days continue to loom, and I realized that I'm really just trying to make it through each day until spring comes. Low-level depression anyone?

I have already decided that Sundays are no blog-days. No checking of blogs, no reading of blogs, no writing of blogs. I think I'm going to stick with that, too. Maybe. If I can get over my obsession of hitting "refresh."

Now, if I can just not add any more blogs to my list. None, nope, zilch. I'm going to spend my new "free" time staring at my fingernails, instead.

It is rough waiting for spring to come.

I know what you mean by having some people on you list that you can't stand. I had a couple like that - I think I read their blogs because I disagreed with them so much I wanted to understand how they thought.

I love the fact that you had blogs on your feed that you couldn't stand.

Wait......it wasn't me was it?!?!

(and what's wrong with staring at your finger nails? It's one of my favorite past times!)

I've vowed so many times not to add any more blogs to my feed reader. That's when I'm most likely to do it, too. I currently have 70-75 blogs in my reader, although they aren't all updated regularly, which helps.

Wow....you read alot of blogs! I haven't done the feed thing yet, but maybe I'll try that.

It can get to be an obsessive, addictive thing....this blogging and reading blogs. I definitely need to be aware of how much time I'm giving to it.

Stay warm!

Jen, there's no hope...once you discover the feed situation, it becomes a monster! (But a good monster.)
