Thought of the Day #2 -- "Following Blogs"

When did following blogs become the norm?

Are we so attached to our technology that we forgot how to sit down and have a cuppa with the neighbor or our best mate?

Yeah, I am thinking of this because I realized all my best mates are overseas and in another time zone. (This is certainly not to discount any new friends I have made while here in Oz, but the people in the USA have known me better for longer).

So really then, what is the etiquette for following a blog, and who makes up this rule anyway?

I'd like to invite your discussions below, please feel free to comment and share your views, this isn't a q&A session, but rather a way to visit over a cuppa without being in the same room.

:-)

And besides, I have no desire to spend all my time showing off creative witticisms, I'd rather spend my time enjoying my family and friends.

Thought of the Day #1

For the next several days I will post one thought that resonates throughout the day for me... This is a test, to see if I can really and truly keep up with my blogging thoughts.

Today's thought: "Budgets"

A budget is really just your way of fooling yourself into believing that you are getting the best value for money within the constraint that you have set for yourself... the reality is, you are going to get what you want regardless of what your little budget piece of paper restricts you to getting, and it is likely to cost you more that what you initially believed it would.

As you guessed correctly, Daniel and I have been reviewing the costs for our upcoming Disney Vacation (and Vow Renewal/Wedding). And no, it isn't weighing heavily on my mind, but it did keep me up late tonight.

Off to bed, see you tomorrow.
