And now I have two blogs, and made the crazy decision to try it for both! I have missed a letter or two because my brain went into sizzle mode, but so far so good for the first time. <br />I did as they suggested and visited the five after my name. I do not have the time to visit every blog, so after the initial five, I'm randomly visiting. <br />Plus I'm going to be without a computer next week so I have to come up with WXYZ before I leave!<br />I am crazy!Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14289590616497815887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6606494570434205373.post-11938190450760086482012-04-17T20:17:07.977-04:002012-04-17T20:17:07.977-04:00You are right!

Last night, I didn't even check my blog or anyone else's. I just needed a break. <br /><br />This is a bit overwhelming but I also love all the people I've connected with. I'm just going to do the best I can and still get a good night's sleep:) We've got lots of time to keep visiting blogs.

I was okay with the Banana pudding, Celery sticks, Date nut bread, and even the Egg salad, but the further you go in the alphabet, the stranger it gets - yesterday was Porcupine pie and today was Oatmeal surprise.

I wanted to stop blogging, so this year I've come up with a new plan...I know what types of writing/blogging I like and so in my attempt to go through the blogs, if it's something I am interested in (yes, I'm making assumptions at first glance) then I continue and if it's not, I go on to the next one. Not discounting anyone but we all have different tastes and hat speaks to us so those are the ones I tend to visit and just do what you can. I don't expect each person to like mine either and that's okay as well...<br />I do have that 'addiction' feel,,,just one more, just one more...okay, just one more then I'll stop!Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12795817810030681267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6606494570434205373.post-39256452559417957952012-04-17T12:10:26.001-04:002012-04-17T12:10:26.001-04:00I would go for the Nutella!I would go for the Nutella!Momo Falihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09735425888226178189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6606494570434205373.post-78158688213891508862012-04-17T10:22:21.096-04:002012-04-17T10:22:21.096-04:00Thank you, RK! that does help.

Well, you said it very well, my friend! I'd like to figure out a way to make it half an alphabet. hehe. I'm trying to visit everyone at least once and it's probably not going to happen. But you are right about the wonderful blogs out there!

I prescheduled a bunch of my postings. And I write them in bunches. I keep them short. So far that has worked for me.<br /><br />Secondly ...<br /><br />I keep up with reading my comments. I also try to keep up with reading the blog posts of the folks who I have already joined. If I get behind there, then I skip some. But I feel like I made a commitment to them and I try to comment even if it is short.<br /><br />Lastly ....<br /><br />I am visiting new blogs - as time allows, but I know I won't get to 1800 during April. But I will hold onto the list and the blog buttons that were provided and EVENTUALLY I will visit everyone. It is a hugely wonderful resource for new reading. I just don't need to visit all of them this month - but I do hit a few each day. When I find someone who I am interested in, I join them.<br /><br />There is an "overload" element to this blog fest, but it is so much fun and so interesting.<br /><br />Hope that helps.Retired Knitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13662288640032813770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6606494570434205373.post-18452647709147657702012-04-17T02:27:03.993-04:002012-04-17T02:27:03.993-04:00Overloaded and a sore behind here as well.
