a november haiku by mrs. dowty

You may wonder why I’ve written (twice) that I would write about the books I read on vacation but here it is, more than a week later, and I haven’t gotten to it yet.  I have to admit a weakness.  I have been getting online, daily, with every intention of writing a post… …but then I start reading other blogs and they lead to other blogs and when I finally surface for air, it’s three, four hours later and I’m exhausted.  (Unless, of course, one of the family has ripped the laptop cord from the wall and dragged me out of the house gently reminded me of a previous engagement or urgent errand.)  I’m having a great time and learning aLOT but evidently need to manage my time better.  Do I need to set a kitchen timer and allot myself a set amount of time to “browse” or will the allure of all this amusing internet chatter fade with time?  I mentioned (in my “About Mrs. Dowty” section of this blog) that I subscribed awhile back to a number of blogs using Bloglines to keep myself from wandering aimlessly through the internet like a stray, but I still get sidetracked.

I would appreciate any insights!
