* Did winter win? I found myself thinking today in the very bitter cold that I don't even want to complain about it anymore. The elements have beaten us into submission. It is too redundant to talk about extreme temps, record snows, scary ice... so I guess I just will say 'mercy.. you got us this time'.
* I like this blog thing. Not necessarily contributing, but lurking in on other person's pages. But I have some worries about it. It takes time. And I fear it might be robbing me of doing other valuable things, having right thoughts, or being a help to another. And after hopping around the other day I asked myself, 'why am I reading about these people in Manitoba that I don't even know???
* Zach (a boy in Mira's room) told me at lunch today (while I was working as an aide, 'Mrs. Debelak, I'm leaving for FL tomorrow! Isn't that exciting?' Yes! I'm very excited for you! (I find him the most annoying in the room at times and I'm working in there tomorrow).
* Lisi hasn't had an accident since the fateful Valentine's fiasco when she peed twice and I sprained my ankle (still in recovery mode). She's almost fun now.
* Freddy (our 3-year old Betta) is suffering from the new addition. As I type this I realize his water needs changing again. He's been a healthy sea-farer for a long time in this house.
* I think my mind is completely empty now. As my brother would say, 'that isn't very hard'. So I better check the back of my eyelids pretty soon.
Hi! Thanks for leaving your comment on my blog! I know what you mean about reading blogs...I had a huge list of ones I'd bookmarked, then finally went back and deleted some the other day! I do enjoy getting to know some new people tho! Maxine
ReplyDeleteI've had similar thoughts about the blogging world, too, except, oops... you're one of those people that I don't know that I check in on frequently. You're one I wish I knew though... so I'll probably keep reading. :)
ReplyDeleteHey... a simple way to keep up on blogs you read (so it takes less time) is to set up RSS or Atom feeds (it would appear in the same tab as your favorites on internet explorer), so that you don't have to check back all the time... just when one of your blogs shows an "update". You can do the same with your comments.
ReplyDeleteAnd I like your question about whether winter won? I found myself crying "uncle" in the last couple of weeks. Argh. It was so, so cold today. I was wondering if the vehicle was going to start when I had to take Kekoa to the doctor!
Hi there! I hear you on this issue- which is why I did the same thing Lani mentioned- all my blogs come in through Google Reader (the RSS feed I prefer) and each morning, after the other stuff is done, I sit down with a cup of tea and open up reader and check up on the blogs (plus other news feeds)- if there's nothing new, there's nothing on the reader. Simple and fast! To comment, though, I have to go to the blog page itself. Of course, it's interesting to find other people- esp if you do know them- and using a feed reader (at least google reader) only shows the text of the post itself and not the sidebars/links, so you do miss that. blah blah blah... any more Q's? Oh wait, you didn't ask... ;)
ReplyDeletehi Linda!
ReplyDeleteit's a joy to read your thoughts! you're so funny! and , i too have been highly disorientated in the bloggersphere..wondering ..ok. how did i get here? who IS this person! i have just gotten to the point where i say..no computer after such and such a time cuz if it's after 10pm you can bet i'll lose track of the time and end up lacking sleep cuz i'm off somewher in blogger land. for example..5 minutes from now? i'm off. no more computer today. i've only posted 3 posts and a few comments and read a few blogs..all told i've spent maybe 1 hour that could have been spent otherwise but then i wouldn't feel like i just socialized! sorry for the lenghthy comment..love ya!
