Thanks to seeing Audra’s To-Do List over at Unabridged Chick, I’m not missing the Winter Mini Bloggiesta this weekend! I missed both the summer and fall Bloggiestas due to a bad case of blogger’s block. Also, due to too much of this:
And this:
And this:
Gave up Words with Friends completely, and am now limiting myself to fewer than three 2-minute rounds a day of Word Crack for the sake of a loved one who is still hooked. 😉
Facebook is harder to give up cold turkey, but I’m trying not to check in as often. Scrolling through my news feed this morning, I came upon this funny Australian video, “What If Real Life Were Like Facebook?” It started playing and I found myself watching until I realized that it was essentially making fun of people who were addicted to Facebook and wasted vast amounts of precious time and brain bandwidth on liking and commenting, so I stopped watching and firmly closed the app and put away my phone. (I’m still tempted to go back and watch the rest of it, though, because it seemed pretty funny. Here’s the link, in case any of you haven’t already seen it.)
My Mini Bloggiesta will run Jan. 14–16, since I have a three-day weekend starting today. I missed the Twitter chat, which was four hours ago, but can always catch up.
In an effort to get this blog rolling forward again, here’s my to-do list:
- Write and post my list of 2016 Favorites
- Write a post about library genre study group I’m in
- Write and schedule a #BoneClocks17 Readalong post
Start a new running list of what I’m readingDONE (See pic)
(Will probably go back to the basic, handwritten list in a notebook that I used to keep, but am considering trying – again – to keep some form of spreadsheet or chronological, digital record)- Organize my bookshelves and reading nook

I thought Bloggiesta was in March!??! (ok, lying here because apparently I know nothing.)
Ooooo…I want to check out Word Crack. I am sure it will take up a lot of time and I will get “hooked,” but it looks like so much fun. 🙂 Thanks for the tip. 🙂
Your list looks good. Lots of good items to accomplish.
Good luck, and have fun.

MINI BLOGGIESTA 2017
Netflix is my downfall…but I’m not watching anything special right now.
Organizing bookshelves sounds like a good idea!
I was off Netflixing and reading way more than blogging as well. and that meant a looong time away from blogging..and now am trying to get back into it..
good luck on your list.. and am going to check out your book lists soon
Oh! Lately I’ve been watching Netflix and Hulu! So easy to get sucked in! Lol!
Nice to-do list! I hope you get every thing accomplished! – I need to organize my bookshelves, too!
Isn’t it? So tempting to watch just one more episode when they’re all right there and the couch is so comfy! We finished our last series (Chuck) a while and haven’t started a new one yet, except for Sherlock (which is so short, it doesn’t really count) and that’s probably another reason I feel like I have a little more time for blogging! Thanks for visiting!
Thanks for stopping by! I’ve been reading a lot, too, but not writing anything!
I hope to get to it! Today is shaping up to be busy with other things, so I’m pinning my Bloggiesta hopes on tomorrow (Monday holiday)!
If you like Boggle, you will like Word Crack! Just don’t tempt me by requesting a game with me, please, and please don’t blame me if you get hooked! 😉
I think there has always been a Spring and Fall Bloggiesta, but everyone was so sad when Bloggiesta ended one time that there have been Mini Bloggiestas in Summer and Winter for a while now! (You don’t need Bloggiesta…you’re going great guns with your blogging!)
