Well, this Bloggiesta was an odd one. For the amount of time I was able to put in I thought I got a lot done. But, unfortunately, I was surprised Saturday morning when my internet wouldn't connect. I lounged around ALL day waiting for it to connect (network maintenance at school) and finally, oh at about 10pm, it connects. Well, Boy was about to arrive from Colorado at 10:30 so, needless to say, I was obliged to spend time with him. Then Sunday (after waking up at noon), I had RA training from 2-8pm and then went to karaoke with said Boy.
I wasn't able to devote as much time to Bloggiesta as I wanted. I really would have preferred to spend all day Saturday working on blog related things, but I guess life happens. I'm really sorry, though, that I missed out on two days of Bloggiesta Twittering/fun. For the time I was Bloggiesta-ing, I think I got a lot of difficult projects done, most notably, I changed the colors of Miss Remmers' Review.
This is what else I was able to accomplish:
- Wrote a Thank You to CSN Stores for the AWESOME desk organizer!
- Wrote my review of said awesome desk organizer!
- Scheduled a Book Shelf post! Stay tuned!
- Mailed thank you notes
