A Blog Addiction

I recently read a post Pondering the Weirdness of Blogging that inspired me to write my own post about how blogging has changed my life.

A year and a half ago, blogging was just something that existed in other people’s daily lives. I didn’t bother much about reading blogs either. Today I find myself jumping online every free moment to check my email for new comments, and I get myself lost in multiple blogs as I try to find out what other people like me are doing and writing about. I really do spend a lot of time with blogs these days.

• My laptop may as well be part of my legs, though I would have very hot legs all the time.
• My browser often has more tabs than it can display as I keep clicking on links to other posts and blogs. They just multiply like rabbits.
• I have LOTR syndrome. Ok, I just made that condition up. It comes from the story of my mother-in-law immersing herself in The Lord of the Rings novels and unintentionally ignoring the children.
• I know some people only by their screen name.
• I am interested in what avatar I get when a blog generates one for me.
• I stare blankly sometimes, wondering what I can blog about next.
• Instead of watching TV, I listen while reading stuff online. Then I ask hubby what happened. Again.
• I lose track of the time and only care when baby needs me, I’m hungry/thirsty/tired, or I need to pee.
• My laptop has more crumbs stuck under the keys. I can hear them crunch when I type.
• I take photos “for my blog”. I have an excess of photos now.
• I have become more creative, and more motivated to share my creativity with all you lovely folk :D

Thank you blogs, bloggers, and readers!

(Was going to take a photo for this blog, but the camera battery is dead. Another thing that blogging is to blame for. Although I admit it was my fault for plugging the glue gun in yesterday instead of the charger. Camera battery still dead but I had a super warmed up glue gun this morning.)

The mummy blogging article

Update:

Thanks to Kate for letting me know, the article has just been put on the New Zealand Herald website. The Log On To Motherhood article online doesn’t have all the pictures so I’ve left the thumbnails on this page so you can see what the printed version was like.

Original post:

Ok, for those who could not get the Weekend Herald newspaper, here is the  article that I mentioned in a previous post. Doesn’t look like it’s going to be on the New Zealand Herald website so this is the only way I can share it with you.

I’ve gone old school and taken photos of the pages, but until the hubby or someone else can scan it in for me, this is the best I can do (as we don’t have a scanner at home).

They managed to get my name wrong in the pull quote on page 4 – whoops. And another typo, if you want to visit Bridget’s blog it’s at widgetlucy.blogspot.com and not at blogpost.com!
