Saturday 9: When We Was Fab


1. Is there a blog as far as its appearance goes that you think is the most fabulous?  

I am not sure why, but I like this one the best.  It is simple but eye catching I think.  Conversations With Moms

2. Do you like the look and the contents of your blogs?  

I do for now, who knows about tomorrow.  I have this habit of redesigning my blog every few days.  I know this can be confusing for readers, so I will resist the urge to redecorate my blog for as long as possible

3. Have you ever thought what would happen to your blog in case you died?  

No, but I will now.  In fact I will probably obsess about it. 

4. Has any particular blogger had a great impact on how you set up and write your blog?

Not any one particular blogger.  I get my inspiration for my site set up from several different sources.  Even from sites where I do not like how someone’s blog is set up.  They are all valuable resources to me. 

5. Would you want a fellow blogger to give you suggestions or criticism of what you write?

Yes and no.  Yes because I want to make the blog as good as I possibly can.  No, because I hate to hear when I am not doing a good job, even though I know it is a good thing.

I have thought about asking someone’s opinion about my blog, its layout and how I write.  I have not decided on anyone yet.  I am afraid a friend would be nice and tell me what they know I would like to hear, and I am not sure if a stranger would want or have the time to look it over.

6. Is the number of visitors each day to your blog important to you?

I have to admit that yes, the number of visitors each day is important to me.  I view it as whether or not I have done a good job writing.  The more visitors means the better job I did on the blog. 

7. What percentage of your readers do you think actual comment?

Maybe 2%.  I guess the topics I usually write about are not easy to comment on.

8. Do you have a favorite blogger who does the memes that you participate in?




9. How often do you update your blog/site and why?

I attempt to update it every day.  Sometimes I am not successful.  When I am having a bad mental health day, or if I am in the hospital, I simply cannot.  


There are two reasons I attempt to update my blog every day.  One, I enjoy it.  I really enjoy writing in my blog.  I still have some trouble managing my emotions, and the blog has become a way that I can release those emotions in a productive manner.  Two, I am a planner.  When I decided to start blogging, I researched the best way to get people to read your blog.  Every site I read with tips on how to best get traffic to your site, suggested frequent/daily updates so your blog topics are fresh.

I get very frustrated with this habit I have of just falling asleep, especially when it happens while I am blogging.  I know it happens because of my medications.  However, it is still frustrating.  I can be full of ideas of what to put on my blog, writing along with speed and smoothly, and the next thing I know I am waking up.  It always derails my thought processes and seems to take me so long to get back into the groove of things.  I need to learn to not let this frustrate me.  

On a funny note, my daughter has a habit of taking pictures of me when I do that.

The Simple Woman's Daybook – January 13, 2010

~The Simple Woman’s Daybook~

Would you like to linger on the simple things…then join me and many others in taking a little look into the day plans and thoughts of those who are focusing on simplicity…beauty of the ‘everyday moments’.

For Today…January 13, 2010

Outside my window…what is left of the snow and ice
 
I am thinking…that I am going to work hard to make this a good day
I am thankful for…today
 
From the kitchen…recently emptied coffee pot, dishes from breakfast
 
I am wearing…pj’s with warm wooly socks, snuggled underneath blankets.
 
I am creating…my blog, and The Skippin Ninja
 
I am going…no where today
 
I am reading…mostly websites and blogs right now
 
I am hoping…that today is a good day
 
I am hearing…the fire crackling
 
Around the house…it is quiet, it is my favorite part of the day.  My husband is off to work and my daughter and the dogs are still sleeping.
 
One of my favorite things…is working on my blog
 

A few plans for the rest of the week…I generally do not think beyond the current day.  I am in depression recovery and it is best for me to do that.  However, there are one or two things planned for this week.  I see my counselor and my psychiatrist tomorrow.  I get to pick up a years worth of free depression medications tomorrow.
 
Here is picture for thought I am sharing

Daily Journal – January 13th, 2010

Photobucket
Today was a good day.  My stomach was loads better.  I did get dressed.  I even made a lovely beef stew.  The only issue I have had today is that I have been extremely tired.  Oh well, I just have days like that.  

I have looked and looked and just cannot find a Wednesday meme that I want to participate in.  Well, I found a couple that appealed to me, but they did not look like they were currently active. I will keep trying to find one for Wednesday.  I have enjoyed doing the memes.

So I decided to work on the Skippin Ninja persona.  I am going to create a blog dedicated to the adventures of the Skippin Ninja.  This will be a huge stretch for me.  It is one thing to use your imagination and keep the adventures to yourself.  It is something else to share them with other people.  


I have been asked to consider writing a book about me and my life.  Based on some of the topics I blog about and other things that I have not put in my blog.  If anyone has an opinion about whether they think a book would be a good idea for me to write or not, I would appreciate hearing it.
