There are a gazillion things going on the blogsphere and I am having a hard time keeping up with it. I think I really need to start putting some money aside every week to buy a laptop. I am using my hubby’s right now; I don’t like to put to much software on it, because it is his…But then again, I might just put the money away for our Thanksgiving Get-Away (which is more important than another blogging tool :wink:)…
Anyway, I thought that I give you a little overview what is going on:
- Loni at ‘Joy in the Morning’ is having a fun writing contest. The deadline is Wednesday, June 21st (well I better get started on writing for this one)…You can win a really neat bracelet. Check it out yourself :smile:.
- Sallie moved her blog from Two Talent Living to a new location – ‘A Gracious Home’. What a beautiful new blog. Sallie also started the ‘Carnival of Beauty’ again. What a blessing that is to the Blogsphere. The first topic is ‘The Beauty of Self-Control’. Our hostess this week is Susanna at ‘A Christian Mother’s Reflections – or Ramblings!’. The deadline is on Tuesday, June 20th at 3pm EST. I hope to see you there this week.
- Sunday, June 18th is not only Father’s Day, but also the Chicken Carnival hosted by the Blogging Chicks Metablog. Submit your entry today to Michele. This week Michele will still accept entries from our archives :wink:. I know which one I will submit.
- If you liked Polly’s book “Life is a Buffet”, check out her blog titled ‘Life is a Buffet’. Just like her book, her blog is light-hearted and fun to read.
- My blogging friend TNChick has a great ‘photo contest‘ going. The deadline for this one is July 2nd. I just have to get a couple more pics to enter. Hope to see you there.
- Did you every wonder how you get your ranking at Technorati? Since I hosted the ‘Blog Olympics Training Camp’ this past week at My Lighter Side, I think I found out the secret. After I had posted the results, I went to every single blog that participated and left a comment. My ranking went up 200 spots after last night – wow…So, get yourself ‘out there’ and leave a gazillion comments 😀
- Need to get yourself motivated about a project around the house? ‘Tackle Tuesdays’ hosted by Janice is a great way to get motivated. Not sure if I can get the project done I have in mind for this week – but I’ll try.
- I have a guest blogger on My Lighter Side tomorrow. Some of you know her (I am praying for a daughter-in-law just like her) – No Average Girl is giving me the honor to post about Father’s Day…
- Up-Dated post: Amanda at ‘Fun in the Twin Cities’ participates in ‘Team in Training’ which supports ‘The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’. You know that I don’t ‘advertise’ on my blog, but for me this is a cause to support. My dad died of lymphoma cancer at the age of 52. I pray that you will check it out and help support Amanda’s effort – thank you….
Well, I better get going, catching up on blog comments and than tackle my household for the weekend. Since I was very lazy last weekend, having fun with my Sweetheart, things have pilled up…Have blessed weekend and I hope to see you around ~
