(Except for this week, because my husband has had the computer all week while he was working from home. The first thing I'm doing when I get a book contract is buying myself a new laptop OF MY OWN.)Ishta Mercuriohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17776946702988283453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9058478111996476699.post-73155932284405532222011-09-28T21:45:52.341-06:002011-09-28T21:45:52.341-06:00Elana - Holy crow on a nightstand, that's impr...Elana - Holy crow on a nightstand, that's impressive.

I kept thinking to really build my blog I needed to blog everyday and since I wasn't, I was obviously going to fail. Your post came at the perfect time for me. I really just need to make sure I'm consistently blogging even if it's only one day a week to start out. Thank you Elana and all of the rest of you who commented about your schedules.

I decided to set a schedule of posting only on Mondays and Thursdays. There will be a couple of extra posts on my blog the end of this week because of commitments made before changing blogging schedule. Now I just need to get a schedule set as to when I will read blog posts.

But otherwise, i just don't have the time to comment on everyone's blogs i read unless i have something really important to say.
