I became past the point of caring this week. I was very annoyed with my blog this week. What happened to my originality? Instead of writing my thoughts, I'm doing "Not Me Monday", "Tuesday Tidbits", "Wordless Wednesday", "Thursday Thirteen" and "Healthy Friday". I see no originality in listing the day of the week every single day. Certain things I'll keep for sure but why don't I have anything good to say anymore? I got a blog award from Mind of Mindi on November 21st and haven't done anything about it. Now that I've remembered, her blog has been made private and I have no idea what the award was. I'm losing my drive for blogging.
I've become extremely annoyed with Twitter. I used to tweet a lot. Since I was following over 1,700 people I stopped caring. It was so much more enjoyable when my home page wasn't flooded with tweets that I could care less about. I don't need you to build me a new blog, I don't really read the free organic news, I don't want a designer door knob, I've never had poison ivy and don't need to know how to get rid of it. If I need any of this information, I'll look it up myself. I don't care about real estate around the country. Unless you can help our renters buy our house in Indiana, buh bye. Don't get me started on the social media tweets. And I was following Susan Boyle's cat. Seriously.
So I sat down yesterday and went through who I was following on Twitter. I cleared out hundreds. 1,580 to be exact. (If you think I accidentally unfollowed you, please let me know!) I'm just tired of it. Twitter was tons more enjoyable when I was able to see what my blog friends were talking about. You all were getting buried in the junk that comes in and I just didn't like it anymore. I breathed a huge sigh of relief yesterday when I was done unfollowing people and even got to enjoy chatting with Alicia again. It's weird how something like that was stressing me out. I told Superman I felt so technologically annoyed/buried. I feel a little better now. Another thing that would help me is a blog redesign. I want to ask Superman to do it for me, but he's had so many freelance projects lately that he doesn't need to be spending his time on a blog. He's off about 2 weeks at Christmas so maybe some changes will be made then!
Sorry to be Debbie Downer today. But don't tell me you haven't noticed my lack of enthusiasm! I thought it was finally time to address this and take care of it since it was annoying me so much this week.
I did make a meal this week worthy of noting. I've made it before and it can be found on Kelly's Recipe Blog. So yummy, warm and comforting!
And now, I'm going to do what I can around here today but also relax and knit a little. If you saw my tweets (which I'm doing more of since I feel so much more technologically relaxed!) this morning I'm not feeling the best. I'm still hoping it was the handful of greasy cashews I ate yesterday, but I've had a very upset stomach since late last night. I had a terrible time sleeping with my stomach churning. Pray it's not the flu!

You'll find your grove. :D
enjoy your day and I hope you belly feels better soon!
Sometimes ya gotta reorganize your life, clean things out and get a fresh start again. Sounds like that is where you're at. Hope the "cleaning out" feels great!
I know exactly what you're saying about being buried in tweets that you could care less about. I felt the same way about Facebook-- I once had nearly 300 friends, now I have barely 100. I like it a lot better now that I can see the people I really want to see.
I like what Nancy at ifevolutionworks had to say. Sometimes you just need to reorganize your life and get a fresh start.
Susan Boyle's cat?! Hahahahahaha
And feel better, Ace!!
I hope you are feeling better very soon. I've been thinking about going through my Twitter also. It's getting a bit ridiculous lately.
Oh geez, you probably hate my stupid tweets! I tweet giveaways I want to win and my giveaways and I RT stuff for people and I'm generally a nuisance on there. You wanna unfollow me now, don't you? I won't get that mad at you if you do. ;)
Ya know... I have the same feeling sometimes where all I am doing is Meme's BUT then I realize how much fun they are and I try to sneak in some more individual posts along w/ them. After my BIG BLOGOVERSARY next week I am scaling down too.. more original posts/ less weekly Meme's ... But I still LOVE Cell Phone Mosaic!
a fresh start is always good..and now is the perfect time!
feel better!
:)
I hear you about Twitter. I should do a little housecleaning there too. Hope you feel better soon. Oh, I so want a blog redesign, not that mine has much design to begin with.
I read your blog because you're fun and interesting. You have a cool life and great adventures with your family and you inspire me to more with and for my family.
I'm sorry that you got the techno-downs and I hope the de-cluttering helped.
Thank you so much for being you! (geez I sound like richard simmons)
YOu poor lady! I am sorry you are feeling down. I think that doing the tweeting thing was a good idea. I try to keep mine low on purpose for that reason. I do enjoy chatting with you!
I hope you feel better soon!
