Where does the time go?

Did you know that I have subscriptions to SEVENTY-THREE blogs? Yikes! And a few months ago I weeded things down to under 60, but I'm up again. I realized this when I was adding a new subscription (Hello Kimmy - Hello!) Granted, they don't all post all the time, but then there's some feeds (like Style Lush, Food Lush, True Couponing and Pioneer Woman, who combined post approximately 1,871 times a day and what am I thinking? (Disclosure: I don't read all of PW's posts anymore, but I skim for what I think is interesting, especially the recipes. And True Couponing I skip if it's not something I'm interested in. All the others I do actually read).

Plus, I am currently in the middle of 11 games of scrabble between Wordfeud and Words with Friends ... and I'm clamoring for more! Do you play? Do you wish to play? Let me know!

AND I have a full time job, at which I work more than 40 hours a week, usually.

AND I have two small kids, both of which are mobile and wonderfully, delightfully, beautifully drive me nuts constantly.

AND I cook, clean, read, run, watch too much tv, think up ways to store my jewelry and sleep a tiny bit.

I need to refer myself back to this post when I'm wondering where on Earth my time goes.

PS: I made these the other day for dinner, using up some mushroom caps I had bought on a whim at the store:




Chicken, spinach and Gorgonzola -stuffed mushroom caps. My husband said "Oh, we're eating hors d'oeuvres for dinner". Damn straight, and they were FABULOUS. (another disclaimer: I don't think he meant to be dismissive, he's just a meat+2 sides+bread type of dinner person generally. This was different, but still concurred as delicious).

And you read a helluva lot too. :)

I read most of those books I mentioned on Kindle before (I know you have a Nook, but also have a Kindle program) and Camile and The Vampire's Image are worth it. The Vampire's Image is short (short story), but decent. Camille is good, but wraps up a little too neatly and abruptly, but it leaves room for a sequel. The others, I'm not enjoying the writing very much, but I might give them another try.

I LOVE appetizer dinners. We do it regularly. But I need to throw in a salad if we do it more than once a month. Gotta get those veggies. :)

Yeah, my husband told me he didn't think I could join the book club because of all my commitments. I was like "what commitments? I spend all day at home." Then he started listing the blogging, the message boards, the writing group, etc. and I realized, I am sort of highly committed. :) (or I need to be committed... whatever)

OG: I downloaded the two that you said were worth it to my Nook - they were 99 cents there too. Thanks for the recommendations!

MF: I still think you need a commitment that gets you out of the house, childless, once a month. But that's my own opinion. :) I hope you stick with us!

If you end up liking those then Switched is decent too (so far). Ignore the other two.

I'd join your book club if I was closer. I may read the books you're reading anyway. :)
