On A Mission!

Being somewhat of a slow & steady blogger with a very unpredictable job, I don’t get the liberty to update my blog as often as I’d like to. Usually immersed with housework, pampering my cats and meeting endless deadlines, I admit with much guilt that I sometimes tend to neglect my blog. On a good day though, when I’m suddenly surged with extra energy and inspiration, I bounce back with non-stop blogging and even churn out several posts in a day! That's just how I function I guess. So before I forget, I’d like to thank all my readers who remain supportive of me during my MIA stints. Your patience is very much appreciated!

Over the past few months, I’ve been quite impressed with several blog buddies who persistently update their blogs with a new post almost daily. These bloggers definitely display exemplary determination and ease in maintaining their blogs so it wasn't surprising for them to reach the much-coveted 100^th post in practically no time at all!

I believe it started with Janice who hit her 100^th mark first. Despite her hectic schedule as a mom to two wonderful little boys, Janice managed to breeze right through her 100^th post. With a huge fan base coupled with energy so infectious you can’t help but warm up to Janice. Her stories over at This Is A Miracle are delightful to read and the pictures accompanying them add to my viewing pleasure. She's simply a great friend to have all around!

While I was still fumbling with post number 65, Nick celebrated his 100^th post shortly after Jan. Anything Goes! was one of the first blogs I befriended and I’m still a devoted fan today. Nick writes very well and he blogs on many fascinating topics with some very “interesting” ghost stories thrown in as well. When I read his first one, it gave me chills; so much so that I now avoid visiting his blog at night!

And just when I thought it wasn’t possible for me to feel anymore inadequate and glum about my erratic posting habit, Nessa came along with her 100^th post! Nessa comes off as a pretty shy blogger to me. She writes wonderfully and gives out plenty of useful information in her posts, which makes her Mumblings one of my favourite stops.

So now, thanks to the excellent blogging spirit they have shown me, I’m inspired to embark on my mission to reach my 100^th post by Mariuca’s 1 Year Anniversary, which will be on 3^rd November. That date last year was when I wrote my very first post for Mariuca. This personal mission of mine might appear simple for some. For me, it translates into sacrificing my already limited leisure hours to squeeze in additional blogging time to my already packed schedule!

This post I’m writing now makes it my number 82, which means I have to come up with 18 more posts in slightly over a month! Feasible you think? I'd like to give you an adamant YES, but with my topsy-turvy schedule and frenzied lifestyle, I daren’t claim complete confidence just yet! I am however willing to give it my all. Till then, wish me luck and I hope you’re enjoying a very pleasant weekend with your friends and loved ones.
