When Misty passed that last award to me, and all her other friends, she admitted that she has a lot of awards to collect and pass along and a lot of memes she's been tagged for, and hasn't done yet. I'm so glad to hear I'm not alone! I feel like I'll never catch up. I love the awards. I love the memes. You know, I even have memes lined up that I wasn't even tagged for. I just saw them somewhere on someone's blog, and they looked like fun, but I haven't figured out the best way to get them done. I guess I should ask Tammy, because she's the queen of memes. I bet she's all caught up - even with her flooded living room and her injured foot. So, Tammy, how do you do it?
I have tried a couple things - first I copied the basic information into a post and then saved it as a draft, fully intending to get back to it as soon as possible. I got some of them done that way, but there are still some awards and some memes sitting in my drafts, just waiting for my attention. Then, I started using Google Reader to keep track of all the blogs I like to read. It took me a while to figure that out. Before I was just trying to remember to visit everyone's blogs to see what was going on in their lives. So, anyway, I started starring the posts when someone tagged me for a meme or gave me an award. I can easily view the starred items and see what I still need to do, but there are still starred items waiting for my attention.
I really want to go back to the earliest award or meme, take care of that, and then move forward, in order. That's just the way I think it's supposed to work, but it's not getting done that way, so I'm going to try to take care of the current ones right away - and then move backwards and take care of the old ones. Let's see how that works.
