My Ten Favourite Things About Blogging

This chimpanzee was enjoying a snooze this sun...

Three hours’ sleep last night.  A bit of a repost for you. 

A bit, because it is part of a greater whole.  Not ‘greater’ as in ‘better’ than this (let’s face it – how could it not be?  One paragraph in and even I’m confused.  What can I tell you?  Three hours’ sleep last night) but ‘greater’ as in, ‘there’s more than this but you’ll have to go back to the original post to find it.’  Which you can’t do ’cause I copied and pasted the bit that I wanted to use and then clicked ‘Add new post’, forgetting to keep open the original post so that I…oh, who cares?

Three hours’ sleep.

Where was I?

Um.  Oh, yes: my ten favourite things about blogging:

  • Meeting all you wonderful readers and your delightful blogs.
  • Learning the art of sucking up.
  • Finding interesting titles.  Today’s being the exception that proves the rule.  I never got that: how can an exception prove a rule?  Surely it disproves a rule?  And what’s with the sudden fashion of announcing ‘proven’ as ‘proven’?  Sorry; you want a side order of clarification with that?  What’s with the sudden fashion of announcing ‘proooven’ as ‘pro-ven’?  Irritates me no end, and not just because I only had three hours’ sleep last night.
  • Sharing searches that find me.
  • Reading comments – you always surprise me.
  • Feeling like Sally Field at the Oscars – you like me; you really like me!  But we’ve been there, so maybe I’ll scratch that one.
  • Reposting.  (Three hours’ sleep last night).
  • That some of you can’t count to ten; and most of you won’t bother.
  • Your indulgence of daft posts like this when I’ve had only three hours’ sleep.

    You have my curiosity all piqued why only three hours of sleep last night? Are you ill? Was there an emergency? Did the hubby snore like a trumpet all night long? If he did did you kill him? Joking, but I confess on nights when my hubby has snored I have entertained killing him just to get some sleep. Bad I know. You must take a nap today.

      No, it was just one of those nights when you toss and turn. I kept thinking I’d fall asleep any moment now. Finally did when the Hub stroked my hair at three in the morning. He has his uses 🙂

    Oh, Tilly Bud, Tilly Bud! How is it that you can be so comical, as my Grammy used to say, after 3 hours of sleep. All I feel is nerved up and jittery. I love your 10 (9) (I counted!) favorites today. I’ve been sharing some of your jokes with a friend who lives a few hundred miles away. He loves them, especially the golf jokes. He says you are a great writer with a terrific smile. I just thought you might like to know. 😎 get a nap sometime, if you can!

      Your friend is lovely; thank you 🙂

      Didn’t manage the nap because I had a friend visit in the morning; a meeting in the afternoon; and I visited another friend afterwards.

      Got a good eight hours last night, though; so no harm done.

      I didn’t manage a nap, but I’m all caught up now.

      Wish I had the excuse of doing something to keep me awake; at least it wouldn’t have been a waste of time 🙂

    I enjoyed your re-blog. I hear you about lack of sleep. There are nights when i cannot sleep at all or i get just 2-3 hours…and i refuse to believe it has anything to do with my constant coffee consumption!!

    Hope tonight’s sleep compensates for last night’s paucity. Don’t forget to clean your teeth.

    Btw, great job at portraying a sleep deprived individual through writing. Granted you were sleep deprived, but most people just go to bed. 🙂
