Confession of a Somewhat Savvy Blurfer...

I don't know about you but lately, with the arrival of another child, end of school, news to follow (Iran, health care...even Perez!), work deadlines, gardening, etc., I have found it near impossible to keep up with blog-o-land. eek

Do you want to know what I went and did this past week? I have gone back in time! That's right...I resurrected my Feedblitz account and started subscribing to specific blogs again. For me, I cannot guarantee that I will visit my Google Reader account (with the number of subscriptions I have there, I might never resurface [such a time-sucker]) and following my PSFs just leads me down the garden path of seeking out new sketches, challenges, etc. (not good when you are supposed to be working, child-rearing, etc.). I do however, keep up with email...so when Feedblitz sends me something, I am sure to read it!

I do, as much as I can, return the comment luv. In fact, if you look at your blog stats and see some weird IP sitting on your site for hours, it's probably me and I am just waiting for a break in the schedule to make a comment! Anyhoo, just thought I would chat about it since I am finding blog-o-land so much vaster than it used to be! I don't know any of us keep up!

P.S. 99% of the time I do follow tweets that link to a PSF's blog. If you are on Twitter, give a shout-out!

I agree with you. Even though I'm no longer raising my family, I still stay plenty busy. I continue to rely on Google Reader for updates on my favorite blogs but I also add and delete on that list. Sometimes I don't read all of the updates - but I never miss yours!!! :0)

I have to say that I read your blog daily!! I love the technical tips you give about blogging, the cards/artwork which you share and I love hearing about the craziness of your life with your family. Hang in there; you have the teen years to look forward to!!!

I don't know HOW you do it!!! I'm a WAHM but my kids go to daycare during the day or I would never get a thing done!!!

I stopped feeling guilty when I'm unable to read my google reader and some days just mark them ALL read if I can't make the time and know I will never get caught up and then just move on ;-)

I don't get much time to blog right now anymore... I have a hard time to put a post a week!!! Life goes so fast... I look at my feeds list and goes oh well... maybe a should downsize it, but I cannot pick! Have a great day!!!
