1109th Friday Blog Roundup

It’s Friday the 13th. Not really sure why I feel the need to write that in the Roundup every time it happens. But I do.

Stop procrastinating. Go make your backups. Don’t have regrets.

Seriously. Stop what you’re doing for a moment. It will take you fifteen minutes, tops. But you will have peace of mind for days and days. It’s the gift to yourself that keeps on giving.

As always, add any new thoughts to the Friday Backup post and peruse new comments to find out about methods, plug-ins, and devices that help you quickly back up your data and accounts.

And now the blogs…

But first, second, helpings of the posts that appeared in the open comment thread last week. To read the description before clicking over, please return to the open thread:

• None… sniff.

Okay, now my choices this week.

Swistle gives some fret updates. I love that term: frets. It perfectly describes those lower-key, time-sensitive worries that either clear up or fizzle out. Unless they move from fret to… what is one step beyond fret? A fret that has become a true worry is a crisis? In any case, I like this idea of noting your frets.

Lastly, Skinny Black Girl has returned and has been writing regularly. I love this post for the image and the sentiment. She writes: “I’ve become exactly who I wanted to be. The woman who lives in her own world, offering only what she’s willing to give. An eye over the page of her latest read. Her back while dancing at a party of one.” Go read the whole post — it’s beautiful.

The roundup to the Roundup: Friday the 13th. Your weekly backup nudge. And lots of great posts to read. So what did you find this week? Please use a permalink to the blog post (written between November 6 – 13) and not the blog’s main URL. Not understanding why I’m asking you what you found this week.
