Blogging: The STRESS

It's 11:16 p.m. on Sunday and I FINALLY caught up on all of your posts!

It's becoming clear to me that I have too many blogs in my reader, but I don't feel like breaking up with any of you. What even worse is that I see the lists of other blogs people love or who are honored with one award or another and I think I really should get out to see those folks as well. Of course, all of these are blogs theoretically still in the same community. I'd love to also get out and check out some blogs of people who are living completely different lives than my own (not to suggest you all live the suburban bliss I call my life--but you know what I mean).

Problem is I run out of time most nights to post to my own blog, take part in any of my hobbies or read a book.

Guess I'm going to have to stop doing work at work so I can focus on more important things (just kidding boss).

**************************

In the spirit of catching up, I also have just one meme left to complete.

For my pal Dorky Dad, I will complete the following.

List four sentences you've never said before:
1. I love the Boston Red Sox!
2. "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." (at least not yet)
3. I hate shoes.
4. Orgasms are just no fun.

List any number of song titles that describe how you felt this week.
"Ain't It Funny How Time Slips Away"
"Family Tradition"
"Let Me Clear My Throat"
"Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow" (I mean it's only April)
"Pride and Joy"
"Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves"
"I Want Candy"
"Welcome to the Jungle"
"Sugarhigh"

Imagine you're having the perfect day. What four things would you be doing.
Ummm, my mom is reading...
1. Laying on a beach in the warm tropical sun.
2. Having a fantastic time splashing in the water with the kiddos.
3. Going out on a date sporting a great tan and a sassy sundress.
4. Dancing!!!

Make up five creative names for a rock band.
Creativity is going to be a stretch here. I can barely focus on the screen.
1. Headless Peeps
2. Final Fringe Feeling
3. Egg Popping Chickens
4. Grey is Good
5. Red Snails (In the Sunset)

Congratulations! You get to go back in time and ensure that three songs were never written, thus sparing humanity from ever having to hear them. What three songs would get the axe?
1. Mony, Mony
2. What I Like About You
3. Broken Wings


Phew! I'm exhausted! Sorry you had to read all that.

I'm tagging Mr. Big Dubya because he's been gone for a while and I'm thinking maybe he just needed something to get him back into the swing of things, and JJ because, well, it's been far too quiet over there as well.
