I blog for Thursday's Thirteen!

THIRTEEN reasons you may know you're addicted to blogging:

You say no to having lunch with a real friend because you want to blog-surf and catch-up with all your new blogging friends.

The kids no longer ask, "Where's Mom;" they now know that you are in front of your computer--blogging.

Your blog is more tidy than your house.

Your digital camera is now a permanent fixture in your purse; you hate to miss a great photo to share with your blogging friends!

While out to dinner with real friends, all of your interesting stories to share are about your blogging friends.

You dream about blogging; what you will write in your next post, about when you will actually win Tuesday's Guess It at Her Majesty's Throne, about discovering that you have won the coveted Jeana Likes Me Award or The Golden Keyboard Award or Sting My Heart Award! .

You jump for joy when you are the first one to link to Thursday's Thirteen at She Lives! This feeling is only ever duplicated upon finding your blog title on another bloggers side-link!

You know the first names of the blogs you visit, not just the blog title.

You've been known to look in the classifieds for a job under the listing of "Blogging." We should be able to get paid for this--shouldn't we! We're qualified, we're skilled, we've got the time (well--maybe I can work at it right after I visit my blog friends each day! I have my priorities after all!)

You no longer fear shutting all of blogdom down when you go into your template and make a few changes.

When Blogger is unexpectedly down for maintenance the entire day--you experience something that exceeds the newly named Intermittent Explosive Disorder. Doctors think Road rage is bad--they should have been around here yesterday when Blogger was down for the day!

A "good day" is defined by double-digit comments!

When you even begin to think you may have a problem with blogging; your fears are eased as you realize--no problem, I'll just find a blog support group! In fact, your enthusiasm grows as you think, "Maybe I'll just start one of mine own!"

Will you join me?
