Junkie
Scene: Our bedroom. 11pm. Husband is in bed lying in the dark. I walk into the room. Placing one knee on my side of the bed, I lean over to where he's lying and kiss him on the cheek.
Me: Goodnight, babe.
(Huband shifts towards me with an obvious interest in "cuddling" and gives me another kiss. I let him kiss me and then pull back, moving off the bed.)
Him: I thought you were coming to bed??
Me: No, I was just coming to say goodnight to you.
Him (annoyed): Well, where are you going?
Me: I'm just gonna get on the Internet for a little while.
Him: The Internet?? It's 11pm!
Me : I know. I'm not going to be that long. I just want to read a few blogs.
Him: *sighing*
Me: I'll just be a little while. I swear. (*lying through teeth*)
(Me: heading out of the room...)
Him: Junkie.
****
Well, I've said it before. Blogging IS a lot like doing drugs. So, um, anyone wanna do a line with me?
Me: Goodnight, babe.

It's 1:38 a.m. and I am wired... haha... on the internet.
Your sex life sounds a lot like mine! LOL!
lmao, that's funny. Its almost one am where I am.
It's 6am...on a Saturday...and I snuck out of bed to get some guilt-free time reading my favorite blogs. I too have a problem.
LOL.. That's great! Count me in!
I have to sneak all my internet time in when Hubs isn't home. Luckily he is gone alot. Yeah for me. Next time you might want to skip the good night kiss.
Yeah... I know the feeling...
My husband does not even know that I have a blog... want to keep it totally my secret...
It does sound a bit like a coke habit...oooowwwww
LOL! I'm a blogging junkie too! I'm so addicted to reading other people's blogs and commenting that I'm often up until 3am doing it - and then I can't figure out why I'm so tired all of the time... It works out good for me that Jake works nights 6 days a week...
UMMMM yeah. I have this problem too. Just yesterday I was reading blogs before work and my husband says, "Jodi, it's 7:30, don't you think you better get ready?" I'm like yeah, yeah, yeah, as I wave him off with my hand. Hubby says to youngest son, "you see mommy over there hunched over that computer? That's called Mommy's C-O-C-A-I-N-E. And it's BAD. And it'll probably maime and disfigure her." I was like HMMMFPHFFF. Leave me ALONE! I do NOT have a problem, okay maybe I do, but it makes me happy, so LEAVE ME ALONE! :)
Good ammunition here for me - my hubby thinks my addiction is out of control because I'm up past 11:30 (never mind that he's spending the same time play-testing Versus - and don't ask what that is, because I really don't know).
I'm a junkie too. Whenever I'm trying to do some serious work on the computer I have to disconnect my internet connection.
Manic Mom: what sex life? he he
Dawn, Jenny, Baby and Mom: ok, i'm cutting up the coke and handing you a straw
Les: true, the goodnight kiss is a bit of a tease!
Pendullum: i've heard a lot of people keep their blogs secret from their hubbies. I'm somewhere in the middle. Hubby knows I have a blog, but I have not given him the web address as he has threatened to leave me trollish comments.
Undercover Angel: 3am?! OK I don't feel so bad anymore. LOL :)
Jodi: LMAO. I can totally relate. I almost missed a hair appointment yesterday b/c I was blogging and left the house late.
Bubandpie: Uh, so what IS Versus?? :)
Metromama: Good tip! I am going to have to start unplugging my modem.
Hah. Ain't it the truth!? I was on way too late last night.
And I got sucked in by...
Jurassic Park 2
(God, I'm such a SUCKER)
Yup. I do. I have gotten to where I have (oops!) taken my meds a little later than norm b/c they uhh, will prevent me from sleeping-and I can surf uninterruppted!
SHAME on me!!!
I'm, erm, *crack*ing up over your post.
sorry. I'm extra-punny when I'm stressed out.
I'm stressed out because I haven't purchased a father's day gift yet -- not even a *card* -- because of the blogoine.
that's bad.
yeah. my hubby diesn't get it either. but seeing as we are the only married couple and th eonly couple with a baby under 1 (or baby in general) and I stay home with said Nut, well, the blogs make me remember that I am not alone with joys and owes.
hand me the straw, i'm a junkie. LOL
LMAO.
Oh man. Sounds like me, except I'm backing out of the room, slowly, slowly... "I can't sleep, honey, I'm going to go lie down in the basement." And then it's all over.
Pass me that rolled up 100 dolla bill....
Every time my husband sees me reading blogs he says "hitting the pipe again, babe?" To make it up to him I spent an hour and 1/2 trying to figure out how to make a banner for his blog. I don't think he feels very appreciative.
I have been in a treatment center the last few weeks for my blogaddiction...just now easing back into it =) Why not start an online blog chapter called Bloggers Anon?? Then when our significan others complain, we can honestly say we're going to a "meeting"...lol
I think someone transplanted our brains. My husband will be so relieved that he's not the only one this happens to.
They should start a support group themselves, Wives Lost in the Fine Art of Blogging, or something!! Too funny!
Carrie
One more thing, "I'll be up in just a sec"...wait for snoring to commence and then I know I'm home free! I am going to pergatory for this, I know it!
Nate calls it the crack pipe. As in: "Put the crack pipe down, Liz. Don't you hear the baby crying in the other room?"
You turned down sex to blog? LOL
At least you made time to say goodnight! hee hee.
hehe I never give up sex for blogging, however I do get up early to read in peace!
Rose and Chelle, yeah, I gave up sex for blogging. My priorities go something like:
1. Eating (chocolate)
2. Blogging
3. Sleeping
4. Sex
Sometimes, 2 and 3 are switched, but that's pretty much it. LOL
lol...that was cute! we are blog junkies....and its fun!!! pretty soon they will have a bloggers anonymus (sp) for all of us! lol
You wanna know what I think?? I think you have your weekend golfing revenge and don't even know it, girl. ;)
Oh yeah I was up later than usual checking out blogs.
I'll take another hit with ya.
Blogging is totally addictive. I agree.
I've not yet been called a junkie, but Kyle no longer believes me when I say, "I'll be right up..."
Oh, schnap, Catherine...you're right! LOL
You are not alone. I am also a fellow addict. I cannot help myself.
That's a great analogy..I got my little mirror..so let's do a line!
I'm wearing transdermal Kevin Charnbas patches. I CAN beat this
I get the same thing- I can't go on to "blog" and read blogs without being called a junkie! LOL.- At least I know we can all join "Bloggers Annonymous" together! LOL.
That's great!! LMFAO! I'll do one but you gotta roll up a $100.
I'll take a hit of that.
Hello-my name is Tracie and I am addicted to blogs. My husband tried to do an intervention, but I just threw myself over the computer and screamed "NO NO--don't smash in my moniter with that sledge hammer anything but that. I promise to come to bed after 76 straight hours in front of the computer-really I do--no this time I mean it....just one more okay honey?"
I totally love your blog. You have a great sense of humor. As a mommy sometimes you just HAVE to stay up late and get some time alone. I don't know how old your son is but he sounds little. And when you have little ones sometimes the choice between "cuddling" and blogging is a very easy one. See ya around!
I swear you just described a scene from our house last week.
Ahem...Hi, I'm Christina, and I'm addicted to blogging.
(Hi, Christina!)
gosh... this makes me feel better. if i dont get my blog fix i tend to be very cranky. hubby calls them my blog withdrawal symptoms and sends me off grudgingly to read or write. and this considering i already work part time and shouldnt i want a break from my computer he wants to know...
You are SO RIGHT!!!!
How true, how true. It is an addiction!
