Standing up....

while blogging - that's how I NOW roll!
In my efforts to keep my blogging addiction
under control,
I no longer blog sitting down during the day.
Instead, I keep my laptop on a shelf.
When I get a few minutes during the day,
I peruse my google reader, but I do NOT sit down.
For me, sitting leads to way too much blogging.
I love to read, but need to get things
accomplished during the day.
Mainly, I want to be outside enjoying the sun
that I missed so much during the long winter.
Have no worries though - in the evening,
I rest my dairy ere and "catch up" with all of you.

Good idea! I pop in occasionally at work and do my catching up in the evening too.

I'm a summer NUT. The sun calls me and I have to just leave my computer and go outside. I come back - but I love going swimming with the kids and watering my plants and working in the yard. I loved this post - I get it!!

Have a good day tomorrow - see you soon. Kellan

My wind down blogging time is in the evening after PB goes to bed and before I do. We've been enjoying the beautiful weather lately.

jenny said...

That is a really great idea! I am so glad that summer is finally here . . . my kids were so used to being cooped up indoors that it took them a good week to figure out just exactly how to play outside!

 Very good idea! :)

I love getting up first thing every morning and checking in on my friends. It is my peaceful time. I wish I had it on a laptop and could go outside in the cool air and read my blogs. But I don't. I have even given up reading the paper for the most part to just connect to the blog world. Sad, I need a life huh? But I am retired you know!

I, too, could sit out front of the computer all day catching up on blogs! Great idea to stand up...now I need a lap top!

That's a great idea. Maybe you could do some toe lifts while you're at it and work out those calves.

Now THAT's a brilliant idea! I MUST try this! :)

I tried sitting on one of those excercise balls while on the computer (work my trunk and inner thighs a little). You're not going to believe this, but I got motion sickness...no joke. Thought I was going to urp*!*

All I wanted to do was multi~task...see if I do THAT again ;)

Misty said...

Excellent idea. I read only about 20 blogs. Not every one posts daily. I don't know how any one does it with 30, 40, 50 or more blogs to read.

Angie @ KEEP BELIEVING said...

Fantastic idea, Amy.

KEEP BELIEVING

I sometimes do that at work...when my hiney feels like it's falling asleep and my lower back is tired of taking on the full load...BWAHAHA!

Do whatever ya gotta do to blog, Amy JEAN :)!

just jamie said...

I do the same dang thing!

Ice Cream said...

Woah! Are you still doing this? It is a great solution and would help me get rid of what I like to call my blogging butt. =)
