Addiction

Hi! My name is Buffy, and I'm addicted to my blog and the world of blogs.

This morning I was doing the mundane chores that most women have to deal with.....emptying out the dishwasher, refilling it, making breakfast, organizing mail and library books and shopping lists for the morning's trip. As I worked, several ideas for my blog popped into my head, complete with the opening lines.

I don't know about you, but these ideas always come to me when I can't write them down. They come when I'm washing my hands, stepping into the shower, making a left turn, weeding, shaping hamburgers, or when I'm simply where there is no paper. I detest the fact that I have a superb line to use and it's gone before I can get it on paper. You can feel it evaporate away, and know that it's floating around out in the ether....perhaps to be snagged by another blogger.

I have a hand held tape recorder that is voice activated. I'm going to have to carry that sucker around with me from now on.

I can see it now......Fred will turn over and say "Whaaaaaa???" as I enter my thoughts, just before falling off to sleep.

I'm addicted. What else can I say??

Congratulations. You've taken the first step on your way to recovery.

omg...this so reminds me of when I started blogging...

Buffy:

Yeah...I'm hoping it will abate in a bit. I remember when I was first introduced to solitare on the computer......(shaking my head). I was "unavailable" for days as I raced against that timer to finish the game.

I think this happens to all bloggers at times. I hate it when I can't ever remember the slightest idea that I had for a good post!

lol... GOOD reading your enthusiasm! I recall that, it was strong in me for over a year... now, the feeling waxes and wanes (?sp). You'll find other addictions over time, other things to bump your blog addiction down a bit... but it can also bounce back up again, and with your ability with words... you best be keeping it, even through the 'low' times.(when and if they come).

I need one of those recorders. I am forever thinking of things to write about, and how it should be said. But, when I sit down to the computer I am lucky to come up with a topic, let alone write about it coherently!
