Confessions of a blogoholic

March 31, 2007 by LuluGal in Daily Links with 6 Comments

Save Money: Hi, I’m Lulu…..

Everyone: Hi Lulu!

Save Money: And I’m a blogoholic. I started this blog to keep track of my finances and find a way to connect with other people so that I could find ways to both make and save money. I did that but then I also found sites that were not directly related to personal finance.

Now I am a blogoholic. Every day I need to check my feed (multiple times a day) to see what people are writing. I am constantly checking my spam on this blog to see if a good comment somehow got filtered into the wrong place.

If I don’t get my daily dose of blogging then I get cranky and nervous. Sometimes I know that on Fridays I may not be able to access the blogs because of school…..so when I get up at 6 am to get ready (in a whispering voice) I turn on the computer and head straight to the PF blogs.

I am always reading people like Jagular and Baz who are not personal finance bloggers…but they sure are funny. Humble apologies if your stuff was not meant to be funny.

I need help. I need to be able to go one day without blogs. I will read for hours and hours, sometimes to the point of getting a headache because I just HAVE TO finish that article.

I am like a crazy bunny….just hopping from blog to blog to see what’s new….what have I missed in the last 3 hours since I was on your blog.

I even read the comments that other people leave….all 73 of them.

I am developing wrist aches from being on the computer all the time. If I am watching television…then as soon as the commercials start I go back to the blogs.

Please help!

Sorry, can’t help you. I’m addicted too. However, once you get your site design and layout settled, and your posting schedule formalized, you’ll be able to step away more often.

Ok. But everytime I see something I feel I need to tweak it. I don’t think I will ever be satisfied (always looking for the next hit I guess).

LOL yep, thats how it goes, you can never be satisfied with ANYTHING
BTW love the intro – I went to an AA meeting as a support partner with a friend several years back and about fell outta my chair when each person introduced themselves the same way hehe

Oh Jagular….I WISH I could be a professional blogger (note to self..set new goal: to become professional blogger by 2010) but this is just a tiny step in the big blogging pond.(mixed metaphors anyone?)
