I agree. I don't read giveaways and product reviews and "follow me" posts.

I don't mind seeing it occasionally, if the site is otherwise worth reading. But do it often enough, and I'm out of there.

I tried the social media thing. It's a huge time suck. I suppose, if you're really good at it, it can help publicize your blog. But being a loner type to begin with, I never quite got the hang of it.

I think there is some reason to blog. It helps hone your writing skills; it gives you a chance to try different styles and see what flies. It teaches you to write on demand and for deadlines.

If you treat it as a personality contest, though, it's a total waste of time.

Don't you have to be organized enough to get organized? Sounds like way too much work.

Our cars got bigger and bigger as we collected more family. Eventually, I was driving the equivalent of a houseboat.

Now driving son drives houseboat. I have a sedan. Some things are worth getting older for.

Some of the greatest accomplishments in history have been mistakes. Broken doesn't necessarily mean wrong. It might just mean different.

I always balance the clutter in my house with the amount of sustained effort required to remove said clutter, and all the things I'd rather do with that time than de-clutter.

So it rarely gets done. There's always something better to do.

I am SO glad that, for me, life is not like a grocery store. I hate shopping. It's one of those things I do only to survive, and because no one else will, and kicking and screaming the whole way.

And I can easily forget things even with a list. Largely because I hate lists, too.

I go through phases. Some phases I just don't have the energy to get gussied up. Some phases I try to at least put on makeup so I don't scare the neighbors.

But I have NEVER carried a teddy bear diaper bag. Backpacks are great (and better for your back) --especially the pretty ones meant for corporate types.

I, too, had a Land's End diaper bag for a long time. Thing is still alive and kicking and now works as a computer bag when I have to take a lot of junk.
