Summer Without Internet: Part 2

The other day I mentioned some of the things I have been doing to occupy myself this summer without internet, today I want to think about what I miss.

I miss reading other blogs.  I always learn something and sometimes they give me ideas for content on my blog.  For example, I wrote why I exercise because one of the  bloggers did a poll asking that question.  I don’t know why, but for some reason the answers  they give you to choose from don’t apply to me.  So a post with my reasons for exercising makes sense to me.

I find I like concise blogs that give me food for thought.  Sarah Jio is one of my favorites,  she writes a lot for Glamour magazine.  I read a lot of blogs on “Shine” too.  I enjoys Jen Emmert at www.priorfatgirl.com, although her posts are pretty long.   I actually quit reading a few because they were just too long, too much.  Although I do find that I miss the bloggers themselves and do check in on them, just not as often.

I also feel that I have let myself down with this blog.  I could use livewriter as I am today to write one, but I have not been updating my blog as often as I would like to.  Just seems more difficult to me withort that instant gratification of having it published.  I need to work on that.

I miss the news or I should say the news that interests me.  I am pretty selective about what I want information on.

Otherwise, I am sort of glad I have time to do other things and enjoy the physical space I have available to explore this summer.  I am so lucky!!
