B.A.
Yes, I have a Bachelors Degree but that is not what I am writing about today. I actually am wondering if there is such a thing as Bloggers Anonymous.
Yes, it is official, I am addicted to blogging. And apparently I am going through the stages of addiction.
1. Use - I began blogging in July, enjoyed writing and felt no pressure to write posts but did so on a daily basis just because it was fun.
2. Misuse - I rarely get out these days. It seems as if I am teethered to the computer and I only take requisite visits to the grocery store and to drop off and pick up my son from daycare.
3. Abuse - I am up late at night and early in the morning blogging. And when called to step away from the computer I give the scoarching laser beams of death the person suggesting such blasphemy. Obviously they don't understand.
4. Dependence - I have the desire and need to blog daily sometimes *twice* and for me blogging is not only writing my posts. I must visit and comment and respond by email to my readers. Because without you where would I be?
5. Addiction - Although I didn't post on my vacation I post when I was at Disney I did Tweet. I could not imagine not being connected to the blogosphere in some shape or form. And when other moms at the Disney said they completely unplugged for the weekend I felt like the wind was knocked out of me. I just could not imagine such a thing.
The good news? I am not in denial about my affliction and they say admitting that you have a problem is the first step to recovery.
But I am not sure I am ready to recover. Perhaps I can take babysteps. Starting right now. I will spend the rest of the day hanging out with Mom and my son. Blogging will be here when I return and I will catch up on my reading and commenting and emailing. Soon.
I just know it!
*This post is for my mom who suggested I give the computer a break. They say "parents just don't understand" but in this instance her statement holds some validity for me. I need to visit family and friends - technically I am still on vacation. Tata for now. I will return later."

If you do find address for B.A. please let everyone know. I'm sure there will be lines of people waiting to get in.
This is my favorite part:

I loved this post. Well, you know the reason why I had to unplug this weekend. I don't have a fancy phone and I was totally going through withdrawals. I had to stop myself from asking to borrow Melanie's iTouch. Yes, that's how bad the obsession got. LOL
I loved meeting you this weekend. You are so much fun!!!!
But you will burn out if you don't balance.
whew.
now THERE is an idea!!!!!
There are worse things to be addicted to.
So great to have met you this weekend too! ;)
I love blogging though. I work at home and it gives me a whole ginormous office to chat in. Otherwise I just talk to myself and my dogs all day long.
I used to try and answer every comment and visit every commenters blog and leave a comment, but you know what? Not all bloggers do that. You don't have to do it all the time. I read all the blogs, but I don't always have time to leave a comment.....and I don't feel bad anymore. I just do the best I can.
Besides, minutes turn into days if you're not careful : )
Once it has you, it really has you.
I don't see how it's possible to do this part time; it's either all or nothing.
DH is "concerned" about my "obsession". :^)
Happy SITS blogathon!
Wonder how long you sill stay away?!
