READING

So... what's the haps today?

Bex and Dante are going to Playcentre again... and I am going to stay home and do some housework.

After that I shall sit on me bum and read blogs... seriously.  That is all I've got on me agenda today.

I will devote 2-3 hours to it, then I will go do some sewing.

Alrighty?

Good.  I knew that would please some of ya.
*waves* to anyone who is crabby I've not visited their blog lately.  I hope to today.

I've not even got a photo or video for ya today... YET.

ONWARD...

Now that the puppies are a bit bigger, Coco doesn't always sleep with them, and this morning Stew found all 5 squeezed up in a corner of the whelping pen shivering.  (I did have a heating pad in the whelping pen, but it's only small, and does not cover the entire pen area). 

So I got a child safe electric blanket off Brylee's bed and put it under the pups.  Now I can relax knowing they are warm overnight.

And I don't care what it costs to run it 24/7, my puppies need to be warm.  In another 2-3 weeks it won't matter so much as their hair will have grown longer and also, the nights will be getting warmer.

I'm reading blogs!  Told ya I would.  *smiles*

So.  In two hours I've only managed to read about 20 blogs and leave comments.
And it makes me wonder.

In light of the comment the other day about me not commenting on other's blogs: 

I must say, of all the blogs I DO read and comment on, even if only ONCE IN A BLUE MOON, at least half of them have NEVER EVER left a comment on my blog.  Yet I leave them a comment anyway.

Maybe I need to just put it out there... I am finding it really difficult to keep up with all the blogs I follow.

I have to cull me reading list.

It's necessary!  I have put in hundreds of  HOURS over the years being a diligent reader/commentor on dozens of blogs, but life changes.  It gets busier.  And my time is spread very thinly over many different aspects of my life.

I am no longer going to feel guilty about how often I do read and comment on other's blogs.  If you get upset about that, just stop reading mine!  And hell, don't leave me a comment either... I really don't care anymore.  I'm so over this feeling that I am not a nice person.

These moments often make me want to just stop blogging.  But I love my blog too much to stop!  So...  relax if that made you panic!  LOL

TO YOU: 
Read.  Comment.  Or not.  Up to YOU.  I will always do my best to keep up with my favourite blogs and leave you a comment.  But I will not do it out of guilt.
I will do it when I can, and if I can.
End of Story.

Sorry.

FOOK!  I have over 350 blogs to go through and decided to delete or not!  Could take a while... so I will get to that maybe tomorrow.

Right now... I shall hang out the washing (finally) and then come back and read some more.

DAMN!  I just remembered the other blog I am a part of!  Sew It Finished http://sewitsfinished.blogspot.co.nz
I think it has about 100 bloggers who post on it... so now I have to read all the updated posts on that blog too!  I've no idea how many posts I have not commented on ... shit shit shit.

RIGHT.  5 hours later.... I'm done sitting on me bum.  I'm off to stretch me legs and do something else. 
Like Christmas sewing.
I am determined to give everyone something I have made this year.

PINKY:  awesome, I look forward to catching up with you, it's been far too long!

ME: thanks.

Pfffft.  So much for being 'done' sitting on me bum!  I have just spent almost 3 hours sewing.  Sitting. On. Me. Bum.  *sigh*

But, I'm happy with how much I've achieved.  I almost have 5 more items finished for Christmas presents.  COOL.

ABOVE: our babies seem to be much happier now that they are not having to huddle to keep warm!  

ABOVE:  he painted himself it would appear.

End of Day:  well it's been a super successful day.  I've done heaps of sewing.  That always makes me happy.
