My eyes are Wastin away in Bloggeritaville! ( My apologies to Jimmy Buffet)

MY EYES ARE

Wastin Away in Bloggeritaville… musical note

Looking for my lost shaker of salt…..

Some people claim that there’s a business to blame

But I know… it’s my own darn fault!

I’ve read several posts lately pointing out the “pitfalls”, if you will, about too much blogging, or perhaps our inability to “TO MOVE AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER”

If you missed them, here is the list of those that I can remember, in no particular order:

Of course, these are only A FEW!! 

We all have so much to do and so little time!

 

Last night, I posted a flyer to my blog.  It was a little late!! I thought the words looked blurry!!!…. Was I drinking?? No! ( well, OK that's a lie, but it was only one glass of wine!) When I got up this morning, the words were still blurry, so I deleted it.

How are your eyes holding up?? All this computer work is hard on our little eyeballs!

I read, and read, and read, so many great posts and information!!

 

I’VE READ VERY GOOD POSTS ABOUT TURNING LEMONS INTO LEMONADE….

Back to Jimmy Buffet........ I will say this about lemons:

 

When life hands you lemons, ask for the tequila and salt, and invite me over!

 

At least we won’t be on our computers! And maybe we can focus our eyes further than 2 feet!

Hi there Mary - Boy-o-Boy, a girl has to work and when she comes back,finds all kind of things she's missed.  YES - we are definitely addicted....and CRAZY for allowing it!  I think perhaps, there's a lot of us recognizing our own symptoms.  The question is WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT IT!!!  I like your idea of a Bloggeritaville Party....I'll bring the chips and salsa....and GOLD!  Tomorrow you say....at 8:00 p.m.  I'll be there :-)

Hey Mary,

May I show up?  I will bring my tortilla/bean/black olive/salsa and cheese roll ups.  They go great with Margaritas..
