I started back to entering sweeps in December -- probably like the 21st or so.  I have been methodically doing "expiring soons" until I got the entire list of them done -- ignoring the few that I personally have no interest in AND can't think of a friend or family member who would use it.  Then, I switched to the new sweeps and I just finished entering ALL of those except the few that I'm not interested in.  SO -- tomorrow, when I come on, I will just have to check for any new expiring soons for tomorrow that I may have missed, and enter the newest day added.  I should also only have to do one bunch of new sweeps.  Then, I have about 130 daily entries, plus all of woman's day, she knows, the celebrity cafe and a few others.

I should be able to get it all done in just a few hours now, which is great because I'm moving and starting grad school in a little over a week.  I also need to be finding a job in Cleveland.  The sweeps should be manageable from this point on though. Smile

Now, if I could start seeing a few more win notices, that would be excellent Smile  I'm going to start going through the catagories tomorrow to see what I still want that I've missed doing the expiring soons and new sweeps sections. Smile

Hope everyone has a lucky evening!

Sweeps are changeable...but it's really good to feel organized. Sometimes I feel organized....but sometimes I don't! Here's to all of us having some luck with the new sweeping! (I am still sort of new after 3&1/2 months. Smile )

lol stacieclark - now the trick is to stay caught up!  crazy tongue

I'm good on all but the FB's - their rules go poof when the sweeps ends, so I have multiple steps with them {saving rules to notepad JIC I or an SA'er wins} so I keep putting them off!

I love the FB sweeps, but the blogs get me.  They seem so complicated and have so many steps that I can't seem to figure them out.  I made the decision today to try to do some - did 2, and was fed up and frustrated.  LOL.

Stayed caught up today -- went through all the "enter daily" sweeps and entered what I hadn't picked up through the other methods -- surpringly, there weren't many -- seems my system was relatively efficient. LOL.  Tomorrow, I tackle the "one entry" sweeps in the hopes of catching some interesting ones I missed. Smile

Good luck everyone.  I'm getting sick -- so there will be my downfall.   Low-grade fever tonight, but my WHOLE body hurts.  That plus after 2 small wins immediately upon starting, I can't even win an instant, and it doesn't take long for me to get discouraged.  LOL.  I have to tell myself it can take up to 6 months, but when the wins start coming, they usually REALLY start coming.

Hope everyone has a blessed and lucky day tomorrow. Smile

Welcome back to sweeping! I, myself, have been missing from it for over a year with the birth of my fourth child but I am trying to find the time currently to fit at least 30 minutes into sweeping. I miss it Smile Wishing you good luck!

Thanks for the positive thoughts.  It was apparently just a crash.  I have fibromyalgia, and randomly run fevers -- and that is apparently what happened.  I am SOOOO extremely stressed right now -- classes startin Cleveland on the 17th and I still live in TN. LOL.  I'm going up on Tuesday next week with my daughter to get things sorted out, but will have to come back to TN for about a week. 

Welcome back to sweeping Veronica!  4 children -- yikes.  I've had 3 (the youngest is 8, the oldest is 17) and they STILL eat up a ton of time!  I can't imagine 4 with a little baby!  Wow!  Good luck to you with entering Smile.

I,too like to be organized with my sweeping but it doesn't always happen.I do my favorite IW's first,then the rest.Then check my emails,do some housework,eat, nap...(I have Lupus and am always tired)Then I get back on and try to do FB and dailys. I do LIVE on my laptop.I keep it on the breakfast bar and I can watch TV from the living room at the same time..lol! Somedays,I declare no computer days,but its REALLY hard!!! But if I don't take that break once in awhile,I burn out and get frustrated at not winning.Seems like I feel refreshed afterward,and can concentrate better.Welcome back and good luck sweeping.We get more snow up here in Cleveland,so you'll have snow days for sweeping,too...lol!!
