You KNOW you've been blogging too much, when...

By
Home Stager with Capital Style Home Staging

You have more saved images (for embedding) than you do real estate photos.

 

You spend more time on AR than you do sleeping (Adam:  THIS MEANS YOU!)

 

The computer chair is no longer comfortable for anyone else in the family because it is now the exact shape of your derrière.

 

Your point total has gone up by 40,000...this month.

 

Next to your keyboard is a pile of Power Bar wrappers, five empty coffee cups, your cell phone, and your electric razor.  And you're a woman. 

 

Almost every time you complete a comment and scroll down to enter your graphic, you only have to type three letters before the correct word automatically populates.

 

Your eyes are becoming rectangular.

 

One of your kids asks you a question, you look at them, and start typing the answer.

 

You actually went on line to check the price of a catheter.

 

Cheers, from DC!

   and now these priceless additions, from Yvonne Root...

When you awaken and stumble to the computer BEFORE you hunt the caffeine.

When you awaken to discover no stumbling is necessary because your forehead is being supported by the edge of your desk.

When you awaken and discover strangers in your house and they claim to be your children. (Can't be -- the last time you looked your children were teens and these people are young adults -- though they do look somewhat familiar.)

   and from Karen Dembsky...

In your dreams, you're blog commenting.

   and from Susan Peters...

You move the TV into the office so you can watch HGTV and blog at the same time.

   and from TLW....ROAR...

Your computer is SMOKING because you haven't turned it off in a week!

Gary, now THAT I'd have to see.  You could be on the edge.  Please STEP AWAY FROM THE KEYBOARD; I've called the authorities and they're on the way. 

Cheers, from DC!

I am proud to be an AR addict!  I just read your entire post and everything in it applies to me!  Everything!  I love the one about your forehead being supported by the desk and I definitely moved the TV so I can watch HGTV and I have to say, Food Channel.  Guilty on all counts :-)  Funny post, made me giggle and laugh right out loud.  Thanks.

You know you've been blogging too much when you say something to a human by mistake and start looking to backspace.

You say to your husband you'll be to bed in just a minute only to find it 2 hours later when you enter the bedroom to see him sleeping.  Oops!

Oh, Tina....how many times do we ALL wish we could backspace ourselves out of trouble!  And I'm especially guilty of the "I'll only be a few minutes" thing.  I'm not sure why my family believes anything that comes out of my mouth.  You might also appreciate an earlier post I wrote called "You MIGHT be an AR addict if..."

Cheers, from DC!

Jaynee...

Okay...I have one for you...

You know you've been blogging too much when you're computer is smoking because you haven't turned it off in over a week :)

I submitted a list like this when I joined AR about a year ago. We all go through this phenomenon known as the Blogging Addiction.

You may want to consider replacing your chair with a stability ball. Seems to be working for me :)    

TLW...ROAR!

I've got another one for you.... how about this...

So, I just have to ask Karen....what are you using to substitute for your addiction.  You KNOW what Dr. Phil says.....don't you?  You cannot take away one element that is important, without substituting another in it's place.  So, instead of the candy bar, you exercise.  What will you do instead of blogging....may I be so bold as to ask?

Cheers! from DC...

I am new to AR, and at first I thought it was funny, to think someone could be addicted...ha!  Well its not so funny anymore...I fell asleep with my laptop in the bed with me, with the TV on, at 3am on a worknight, Oh my....I am an AR addict already

Oh, Dena....thank you so much!  Addicted and Warped....just two more things to add to my business card.  I wonder, if I make them look like acronyms, will anyone get it?

Cheers! from DC...

Janna:  Thanks for visiting.  From what I can see you've created an auspicious beginning in AR!  I'm hoping that the addiction phase comes early in the process, as I'm not sure I can maintain this level of insanity.  Who knows.....others have come before me, and others will follow.

Congratulations, and Cheers! from DC...

Christopher!  Buddy!  You and Gary need to talk (see his comments, above), or at least your WIVES do.  If you'd like, I can put them in touch with my husband.  No....maybe that's a terrible idea.

Cheers! from DC....
