		<description>I know exactly how you feel. My bloghopping has dropped in the past few months, and I seriously miss it. I just need to find some balance, and maybe select a few that I need to (want to!) go and visit faithfully everyday. This &quot;getting paid to blog&quot; has seriously cut into my &quot;free&quot; time. (I work 2 part time jobs ...). But, there is no way I am giving this up. I make, on a good day, MORE with blogging than I do with either one of the part time jobs. I like having the extra money, and being able to contribute to the finances in this way. And, like you mentioned in a different post ... my checks go in a checking account that my husband manages (this is by MY request, so things get done &quot;right&quot;) -- so the blogging money is mine ...and I have actually stopped frivilous online shopping because I have a goal (a laptop!). So, its been benificial all the way around.

Oh - hi:) nothing like leaving a 10 page note my first visit here:) Sorry about that. Was just at the PPP boards, and read your comments, and thought I would stop by for a visit. Keep up the good work with blogging.

&lt;strong&gt;Hiya Carolyn, Thanks for visiting my blog. What a pretty one you have. I like your profile image on your blog. :) There&#039;s no way I&#039;m giving this up too! Its good money and a legitimate way of earning it too. However it does eat up into the time for bloghopping. I hope I don&#039;t make those who regularly visit my blog unhappy because I don&#039;t visit theirs in return. Don&#039;t want to be passed off as a snob, even online. Happy Blogging to you and I hope you meet your goal very soon. Cheers! :)&lt;/strong&gt;</description>
