Awards, Giveaways, and Memes...OH MY!
Since it has been awhile since I cleaned out my reader I've been coming across lots of goodies. Hang with me while I share some of the fun stuff I've been finding as I make my way around the Blogosphere!
I hope I win because that would make an awesome birthday gift for Zoe. Go ahead, go visit and check out the doll, but it's quite alright if you don't want to try to win. Really. Zoe and I will be perfectly happy bringing Ling home with us!!
Here are the rules:
1. Write about 5 specific ways blogging has affected you, either positively or negatively.
1. Write about 5 specific ways blogging has affected you, either positively or negatively.
2. link back to the person who tagged you
3. link back to this parent post
4. tag a few friends or five, or none at all
5. post these rules— or just have fun breaking them
1. Blogging has opened my eyes to life around me as I am constantly on the lookout for good blog fodder. (Positive Effect)
2. Blogging has sometimes clouded my eyes as I am constantly on the lookout for good blog fodder and may sometimes miss the chance to be part of life that is happening around me. (Negative Effect)
3. I have met some awesome people who I would have otherwise never came in contact with. It is neat to read other people's perspectives on mommy hood, family, religion, politics, and just life in general. I feel that every day I learn something new from the blogosphere. (Positive Effect)
4. Meeting all these people, reading their blogs, and taking the time to communicate with them to become an active member of the community takes time. Often I find my time being sucked away by my computer as I read "one more blog", write "one more twitter", respond to "one more comment." I am working on this though!!! (Negative Effect)
5. Blogging has given me an outlet for myself! So often as a wife, mom, teacher, friend, etc I forget to find time for myself. I blog because I enjoy it. It's my hobby. It makes me smile. Blogging has taught me to stop and take time for myself, just not the entire day and night!! (Positive and maybe slightly Negative Effect)
I'm not going to tag anybody because I'm feeling lazy and don't feel like linking up. I know. Sad. But I would love to hear how blogging has effected you so if you feel like playing along or need something to fill in a post gap this week, grab the meme rules above. Make sure to leave me a comment so I know you did and I can come read about the effects of the blogosphere on your life.
5 Thoughts from you all...:
I like that meme, but you pretty much said everything that would've come to my mind. Great minds think alike!;)
I saw that you've joined the BLBE challenge. Nice to meet you!
Hello! Just stopping by to say hi from the BLBE. The Blogsphere is an interesting place isn't it?
I can relate to everything you wrote for that meme. It is amazing how much I have grown through blogging and how many minutes lost to the 'just one more' mentality.
Hey Mel! Thanks for the link love... sorry you didn't win. :(
