#14, 13 Random Blog Musings

I got my name in lights with notcelebrity.co.uk

My 13 Random musings are all about blogging.

1. Thanks to Dana at Life Turned Upside Down for the Thursday 13 header idea, she had a contest for the weirdest google search that listed your blog. I didn't know how to find my keywords, but she had some good ones submitted.

2. Since I have been blogging, I haven't been playing games over at Pogo. I might have to get over there and play some Spades. The game is a riot to play since people play as if it's life or death.

3. 90 postings on my blog, not sure what the last thing I did 90 of....oh yea, that bag of peanut butter chocolate kisses that I scarfed down in March. I just didn't fall off the Weight Watcher Wagon, I jumped off ! Umm, Hershey's has a Cordial Cherry kiss.... What's your favorite Kiss?

4. I still haven't found my literary "voice", what the heck is that? It's how you write that sets you apart from everyone else. The words that you hear in your head, the conversations that you have with yourself and the way you view the world. I think my brain is going off in too many directions for me to grab a thought and blog about it.

5."Blog Reading Overdrive"- BRO: a condition affecting bloggers everywhere, the more we blog, the more we read, the more we read, the more blogs we have as links and then the guilt sets in (it's my upbringing, guilt is in my bones). Just not getting to all my links to read them as often I as I want to. How do you all do it? Read, comment and write and respond to comments?

6. Blog envy, still tweaking and playing with my template, so many toys and blog rolls. Word Press is looking good, but I think that I need to give blogging another 6 months before I invest in a website.

7. I miss Annie at Blog U, can't wait for her to be all moved into her new house so I can have some more fun with this blog. She has great little lessons and help on blog stuff, in all my blog help searches, her blog is the best format for examples.

8. Cooking blogs, oh man, I have found some great ones in the past few weeks and now have a cooking blog bookmark folder. Where do people find the time? Annie from Blog U has a pretty blog with recipes, Buttermilk Clouds

9. Cooking blogger and Thursday Thirteener: Cooking by the Seat of my Pants

10 Just Recipes is another cooking blogger with a nice crisp looking template, her banner looks good enough to eat and she has a recipe for Peanut Butter and Fudge Brownies with Salted Peanuts.

11. This site is just incredible, 52 cupcakes, just imagine the pressure that the blogger has to come up with 52 cupcake recipes throughout the year. What happens if she runs out of ideas in July? Does she write about cupcakes forever? Maybe I should do a 52 theme?? I think I first saw the link at Just for Fun ,

12. Amy finished up her Blogging contest at Amy's Random Thoughts this week and she made us work, LOL, I did find a really great book blog written by a librarian called Maggie Reads. Now that I have found and bookmarked the site, I think I will read some of the latest Newberry award books and maybe get #3 son reading some good "stuff".

13. Contests all over the place! Tea has a knitting Contest at Tea Time Ramblings.

Check out the post below and An Island Life's Vacation Picture contest.
