I could quite possibly be having a mid-challenge crisis. My thoughts are so scattered. I have plenty of them but they’re all flying around in the space in my head and I’m having a hard time coralling them for you.
I’m getting behind and it’s bothering me.
I was pretty focused yesterday afternoon and again today, but that was on the task of finding some new work boots. Yes, work boots 🙂 I need work boots for my shelter work and for the other animal disaster drills/trainings I take part in from time to time. I bought a pair in rather a hurry originally and while they do the trick and I especially like that they’re waterproof, they’re heavy and a little large (Kmart didn’t actually have any women’s work boots that were suitable for my purposes). Anyway, I went to a bunch of places yesterday (and I mean a bunch!) and today made my decision and bought a nice, comfortable, correctly-sized Women’s pair of work boots on sale for $29.99.
But I digress…
I’ve been thinking generally about how much I enjoy doing the UBC, and comparing this challenge with the last one (April). Right from the start I know I’m not getting to read as many of everyone else’s blogs as I did last time. Besides the fact there’s a lot more of us this time, I think it probably just means I’m considerably busier than I was in April which is overall a good thing – right? I will endeavor to participate more. That’s actually one of the best things about doing these. It’s super cool getting to know so many other bloggers. 🙂
OK, so I’m gonna sleep on it and hopefully tomorrow I will be over this little hump and can get back on track. Wish me sweet dreams please.
P.S. I am participating in the Ultimate Blog Challenge this month – 31 days of July, a blog a day if I can. 


I Applaud you-you did this challenge last year in 2010. I didn’t. Get a good nights sleep and keep on keeping on. 🙂 Jackie
Some of my best thoughts happen when I’m scattered. I wish I could remember them! Thanks for sharing your progress.
Your honesty and authenticity inspire me, Gillian! Sweet dreams.

I love the sharing on what is happening during this blog challenge. It helps in making the rest of us seem more normal. I started commenting on many blogs, and am now challenged with keeping us. I now can’t stop singing “I’m late, I’m late…..”
Thank you guys, and I notice I’m not the only one feeling this way:) Your support is wonderful!
