My plan for the blog today changed drastically. I usually do not have that much of a plan. I just sit down and think about what has been going on in my life at the time or what I really want to talk about. This time I actually had planned it ahead of time but then changed it in the middle.

I just started doing the Entrecard thing around 2 days ago. I have never come close to the 3oo cards that are allowed a day. I do not know how other people find the time to do it. It all starts off well. I like the idea of doing a road trip of blogs. I go to the Entrecard website and first drop at the people who dropped on me in the last day. Then I go on a roadtrip. I pick a blog and then from there I just go from site to site.

I started to find that I would get stranded on sites that did not actually have a drop box or get stuck at a road block when I would end up on a blog I had already been on. Then there is the eternal U turn when you end up on a blog that is displaying their own ad.

I know I could just use the Entrecard website and click each one from there but that just is not as fun to me. I like seeing the strange turns a road trip takes you on. If I just used the site I would probably not go to blogs that are in categories that I am not as interested in. I used to love going on road trips with no plan but seeing what you would find.

I decided this morning to do an experiment. I was going to get a full 300 cards dropped by way of road trips. Today being a Friday, I figured that it would be a good day to slack off. I have been keeping track of my road trips in my idea notebook. It is taking much longer than I thought it would. I am only at around 98. I was started to feel like I needed a nap so I figured I better post something for the day. This is going to be one of those days that are over before you know it.

So far I am finding it is hard to get very far on a road trip and the longer I do it the less far I go. I still prefer doing it this way though. There are some gems out there that I would not have found otherwise. I am finding so many sites that I want to take the time to read but because of the experiment I have to keep moving along. If I was not so insane about finishing everything I start I would have given up by now. I can not wait to get it over with so I can spend more time just reading blogs again. LOL


Well, I better make myself a cappuccino and get back to work. The next couple of posts will be the experiment results and my ode to my

DeLonghi BCO70 Caffe Nabucco Espresso, Cappuccino, and Coffee Bar . Without which I would never make it through all of this. LOL
