Too Much Pressure

I missed posting a blog entry yesterday and today I got reminded of it. I very rarely have nothing to say and I’m not even sure how yesterday slipped by without me writing. Oh wait, I remember. I spent half the day cleaning my office because I was sick of feeling like I’m going to keel over and die every afternoon. I didn’t think anybody wanted to hear about how dirty my office was or how I didn’t feel good.

Today I was all set to write about our big exciting night last night. I even took pictures. Don’t get too excited. Our excitement is sure to put all my readers to sleep. But now I can’t even tell you about it. Seems Lisa has different ideas for what I should blog about today. So much pressure . . .

Not sure if anybody reads Lisa’s blog but she suggested that her blogging friends make a list of their 10 favorite web sites. I didn’t actually visit any of her links (I will some day . . . maybe) and I’m sure nobody will believe this, but I can’t even come close to picking 10 favorite sites.

Off the top of my head I came up with . . . exactly nothing. I had to go and visit my own bookmarks to see if maybe I bookmarked a site that I liked (at one time) and intended to revisit (and never did). Lisa made me realize today that, although I’m online all the time, I almost never aimlessly wander. I only regularly read blogs of people I know (sadly, that includes two) and 90% of the time I’m online I’m checking emails, updating my own blogs, processing orders, buying something, or researching something. I visit no sites on a regular basis and the only blog in my Google reader other than Lisa’s blog and my cousin Jamie’s blog is one that only a graphic designer would enjoy. It’s called Smashing Magazine. Here, see for yourself: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/

The only place I visit to waste time is Facebook and this has become a new thing for me. I used to visit once every other month to check-in on my step-daughter Jessica. I like dropping in on her life and seeing her pictures. I recently got into the habit of checking every day and trying to keep in touch with some friends that I wouldn’t otherwise ever talk to.

I never Twittered (is that the proper term?) and don’t see me getting there any time soon. I guess what I’m trying to say is that I lead an incredibly boring cyber life. Just keeping up with my 3 email accounts, my own 4 blogs, Karlo’s blog, and two web sites is almost more than I can handle. But one of these days I’m gonna check out Lisa’s links.
