More A's

Gregg's out getting me more Bailey's....hic...so I'm here playing on the computer.  I wish.  He did make me some chicken noodle soup though so I guess I'll keep him.  I've taken two of that natural stuff you put under your tongue and it's absolutely amazing stuff.  I'll kick this cold where the sun don't shine!

In the meantime, here are some more A's I've gone through and those out as of November 23.  Bummer that some missed just one single day of blogging and now they're out of it :o(  I got smart this time and I'm marking the ones I thought were interesting.....to me.

Are You In Or Out?

Sounds like I'm talking to the dog with that title.  I go to the door to let him in, and he stands there wagging his tail looking at me.  If I don't say anything, he keeps standing there....looking at me.

I've decided before the end of the month, I'm going to visit each and every blog on the NaBloPoMo list.  I'm going to find the Canadian mom blog.  This may be borderline stalking now I'm not sure.  Plus I'm also curious to see how many people have stopped writing.  This is NOT an interesting post, it's more me talking out loud and making yet one more list for myself because my curiousity is getting the better of me.

So as of November 22, 2006 here are all the blogs I've visited:

Have to stop and blink and find my sanity.  What a nightmare.  Good thing I'm persistent.

Things I've noticed.....

  1. Some people really like talking about their kids.
  2. Knitting is much more popular than I would have thought.
  3. No one, and I mean NO ONE (ok I came across maybe 5) is nice enough to use their calendars when blogging for NaBloPoMo.  Don't people realize if you don't have a calendar up, it can take HOURS to go through everyone's blog, day by day by friggen day to see if they've posted every day or not??  Good luck to the person who has that job when the month ends!
  4. I sometimes ramble on in my posts.....there are people who ramble MUCH more than I!
  5. People really don't post a lot of pictures.  Why??
  6. There are people out there in this world who rescue Guinea Pigs....and I think they're pretty darn cool for doing that.
  7. I should have written down the blogs I would go back too but I was too busy counting days because people never TURNED ON THEIR CALENDARS!  To be honest, so far, there aren't too many I would go back too.

Am I allowed to say that?  Maybe I should file this under 'My blog my opinion' category instead.
