A BLOGGER ONCE REMOVED .....

I AM WONDERING WHEN MY LOVE OF FASHION TURNED ON ME ?
IT'S ALL A BLUR, BUT THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING  AS THEY SAY .......
I HAD MY THANKSGIVING POSTS ALL LINED UP, EDITED, AND READY TO GO EARLY THIS WEEKEND, SO I WOULD HAVE ALL MY TIME FREED UP TO DO STUFF. INTERACT WITH MY HUBBY. GET SOME MUCH-NEEDED PHONE-TIME IN WITH MY FAMILY AND DE-JUNK THIS RATS NEST I HAVE CREATED.


SO , AS I STOOD UP, NOODLE LEGS AND ALL FROM THE COMPUTER, I SUDDENLY FELT A STRANGE SENSE OF FREEDOM. Ahhhhhh, ACTUALLY EXISTING IN THE REAL WORLD ! FOR 4 FULL DAYS ! WHILE MY COMPUTER RESTED AND GOT A BREAK FROM THE HUMMING SOUND IT HAS BEGUN !

I WENT OUT AND BOUGHT REAL GROCERIES TO SURPRISE MY SELFLESS , NOT-FOR-PROFIT PHONE ANSWERING DO-GOODING HUBBY ;)  I COULDN'T WAIT TO SPEND THE WEEKEND EMOTING. ACTUAL CONVERSATIONS. ACTUAL INTERACTING. ACTUAL CLEANING AND CREATING, NOT PREPPING FOR MY VIRTUAL SHOP.


I PUT AWAY THE GROCERIES AND BEGAN TO WANDER AROUND THE HOUSE. KIND OF IN A STUPOR.  I FELT LOST. WITHOUT PURPOSE. 
"COME ON, THERE ARE A HUNDRED THINGS YOU NEED TO GET DONE. CHILL ! " BUT I COULDN'T.
THERE SHE SAT, LIFELESS. THE LITTLE WORLD I LIVE IN HAD BEEN CLOSED FOR THE WEEKEND. STREETS ROLLED UP. NOBODY HOME. SPOOKY ......
I WONDERED WHAT MY BLOG BUDDIES WERE UP TO ?


I WANDERED UP AND DOWN THE HALLWAY FOR A HALF HOUR OR SO.
HEY, I SO NEED A MANICURE ! AS I WAS DOING MY NAILS, I THOUGHT OF A GREAT POST OR TWO TO WORK ON .......  ( OK, I'LL JUST MAKE SOME QUICK NOTES....)
52 SHOTS OF MY FINGERTIPS LATER, I REALIZED I HAD A PROBLEM.
I WAS A BLOG JUNKIE . ALL MY THOUGHT WERE BEING DIRECTED AT "GETTING, USING, AND FINDING WAYS AND MEANS TO GET MORE" (exerpt from Narcotics Anonymous) BLOG TIME !

THE EXACT MOMENT IT HAPPENED, I DO NOT KNOW. WAS IT WHEN I FINALLY FIGURED OUT HOW TO USE MY 'GOOD' CAMERA? WHEN I REACHED THE COVETED 'BIG 100'? OR DID IT START WITH THE VERY FIRST POST ???  I MAY NEVER REALLY KNOW.... AND IS THERE A PATCH ?
