Blogged Down

Lately I have felt blogged down.  That’s hopefully a phrase that someone else hasn’t come up with.  It’s definition is closely related to the definition of bog as used in bogged down..getting slowed down or stuck.  Except in this case, it means specifically by blogs.

I have definitely been blogged down lately.  This morning, I think I had almost 90 blogs in my reader and I simply can not handle it saying I have more than 1 post to read.  I HAVE to at least look at it and check it off my list.  I have never blindly clicked Mark All Read just because my curiosity would kill me not knowing what someone posted.

So where does that put me?  A lot of reading to do and little time to do it.  And I do get stuck in a rut of reading.  And as much as I love everyone I read, I simply had to pare it down.  With my personal sites and some entertainment feeds I subscribe to for my OTH site’s purposes, I now only have a total of 50 feeds in my reader.  I kept all the ones where I knew I’d read every single post and be excited about every single post.  

So far it feels very freeing except I don’t think it will be long before I miss my reader not having tons of bolded (1)’s beside them.
