Welcome to another Monday Potpourri. Today’s feature is Musing Mondays, hosted by Should Be Reading.
Today’s prompt:
What distracts you when you really “should be reading”?
Oh, my, the distractions line up and shout at me! There’s the old favorite, TV; and even though one of my TVs died a couple of weeks ago, I have two others.
But social networking sites seemingly call out to me: Facebook and Pinterest.
And then there is blogging. I have eleven sites (down this past week from twelve), and I obsessively post, tweak, and recreate them. Just this past week, I merged my two writing sites (Snow Chronicles and My Forest Journey) into one: Snow Chronicles.
I love changing them up: themes, blog headers, backgrounds. You’d think I’d finally be satisfied, but no, they call out to me, asking me to play with them.
At my website, there’s a page for them all.
Then there are the distractions of life. Like trying to find a new TV (while my son tries to fix the old one). The reason: it wasn’t that old. Four years! So he is definitely determined to fix it.
Meanwhile, I’ve been shopping around; just in case.
What distracts you? I hope you’ll come on by and chat.

Yes, sometimes the e-mails are overwhelming! I have two e-mail accounts…and I used to have three. I’m glad I eliminated the third one.
Thanks for visiting, Elizabeth.

Definitely have a lot of distractions there. It’s hard to pick and choose sometimes when you want to be able to do them all of course. Thanks for stopping by today!

Since I don’t understand Pinterest I think I can bypass that one, however, I have a few TV shows I enjoy from time to time, like tonight I will be watching “Dancing With the Stars” and reading during commercials. And like you I love messing with my blogs and the headers. I’m trying to find something that will stay for a while before I decide to change it, but I doubt that will ever happen. And finally thanks for the visit today.

Yes, I get restless about changing up the blogs…headers, themes, etc. So far, this blog background has stayed awhile; I love it. But I have a group of headers I use here. Thanks for stopping by, Gigi Ann.

Blogging (and working on designing my blogs) is one of my huge distractions, too! I only have 4 blogs, so I can only imagine how distracted YOU must be with 11!

Oh, yes, you do have a clue then, Nicki….I never planned to end up with so many blogs; and at one point, I had twenty. But even I knew that was totally obsessive…lol
Thanks for visiting, and enjoy your blogging, etc.
