Spin Cycle: What if the Spins are coming in?
Hm, what if no one Spins this week? There was nothing Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.
What if this is the blogosphere's way of telling me to move on with my life and stop forcing people to put certain content on their sites and submit to me once a week?
What if my Google Reader is malfunctioning, on purpose, and I haven't seen the Spins and everyone thinks I'm blatantly ignoring them and they're turning their backs on me in retaliation and we're snubbing each other based on a MISUNDERSTANDING!? On GOOGLE READER who only updates me on new posts after the posts have been up for hours, completely stripping me of any ability to be FIRST in the comments!
ARGH!
...Ooh, a Spin!

What if I just sit back and wait for the Spins to happen instead of second-guessing life and the blogosphere?
Oh, and in the words of Tina Fey, Google Reader can suck it. (You know, just in case..)
I'll be spinning this week. Swear.

What if I put my spin on my site and people begin to think I'm incapable of an original though because my last THREE of FOUR post have been in direct relation to you? (I did my interview, btw. It's on there.)
What if you begin to think I'm a crazy freaking psycho and I'm in love with you and I'm going to pull a single white female thing? (I'm not. I live way too far away.)
OK, I'll do it later this week. Hopefully, I'll have a couple of other "original" posts in between.

I'm working on it even as I type this. Okay, maybe not right now but I am working on it. For some reason they frown on my blogging from work.

I read somewhere that people are less likely to read your blog if you have memes all the time. I don't know if that's true or not...

I spin, I spin . . .

I'll spin later in the week. I swear. What if I don't, will you be mad? I will though.

My very first spin cycle http://www.textimps.com/2009/01/12/site-of-the-week-the-bean/

I read the spins! Does that count? I really need to cut out something in my week (like children) so I can have more time to do fun stuff like Spin Cycle that I never have time to do! LOL! I DID post a picture of my pantry on my blog thanks to your wonderful post on pantries! :-)
Hope your having a better monday now that the spins are coming in!

LOL! I hate that about the reader too... ::le sigh::

I'm kinda verklempt lately. I could spin, but it would be subpar spinning. And given what I usually come up with...

Oooo, I like this spin. I missed the topic, but I'll be spinning for sure.

My google reader toyed with my emotions most of the day today...also, my admin panel would not let me in for the last three hours. Am now a quivering mess of internet stress...isn't it fun???

I am boycotting the meme's :)
actually, I am still so far behind.

I'm spinning this. But I have until Friday. The procrastinator in me would like a few days!

What if...I were not the last spinner to spin, for once!

What if you may have lost your mind?
Just sayin'.
Dang..now what am I going to do for my what if?!
What if I can't find an idea?!

ok - mine's an older post - but it's one of my favorites (well, not the what if part, but just remembering the story - read it, you'll see what I mean! Plus, I had an update - I'll post it when I get home from work.
Thanks!
