Is anyone else addicted to Internet? I'm not exactly sure if "addicted" is even the right word, so let me set the scene.
Here it is Friday night, and I'm waiting for Scott to get home from work (not sure when that'll be seeing as how he's working OT right now). I had a few projects that I wanted to accomplish today, mainly sewing and scrapbooking (can you get any more removed from blogging?). Have I or am I doing either? Uh, nope.
After dinner, I lounged in front of the TV watching HGTV, even though I'm not exactly a fan of the show I was watching. After about an hour or so of that, I simply transferred screens. I have now been sitting in front of the computer for, oh, maybe a good two hours or so. In that time, I've managed to post 1 (almost 2 now) entries, check my email about a dozen times, and catch up on my friends' blogs. Oh, and play a game or two.
Why is this bothersome? Well, did I mention that I didn't accomplish what I had set out today? Or that I'm really pretty tired and should go to bed? Or that I could be reading, a much more productive use of time?
And yet, in spite of all those more appealing alternatives, here I sit. I'm not sure why. I think it's laziness at this point. I simply don't want to get up and go to bed because I'll then have to get ready for bed, which requires moving. And again, I'm just so tired that I don't feel like it.
Does this make sense at all? I don't think it does. And obviously, the more I sit, staring at the computer screen, the less sense this will make.
Please just tell me that I'm not alone in this. Maybe we could start a self-help group.

This may not come as a surprise to you after a week of vacation together, but I, too, am addicted to the internet. :)
You should totally join Facebook, which is basically the closest thing you will come to a self-help group... :)
I too am a member of this club and will attend group therapy with you. It's like it sucks you in and before you know it you've lost a couple of hours and your self respect because what you did was really not that important in the grand scheme of things. Ha! Knowing that doesn't cause me to change my behavior though, rather, I knowingly commit myself to the insanity and just justify it somehow or the other. :)
I agree with Ann. Join Facebook.
Facebook, Heather...we could totally be "friends." :)
