Blog Addiction

My name is Katie. And I'm a blogaholic. I read over 200 blogs. Luckily for me, few of the blogs that I follow are updated daily. I've tried to quit. Honestly, I have. I'm not able to though. I'm obsessed with your home makeovers, personal makeovers, fashion tips, and diet and exercise endeavors. I think I have a rational explanation for my obsession though. The explanation came from my husband, and since he prides himself on being calm and rational, I'm sure this is a rational explanation. You are my substitute co-workers, friends, and acquaintances. Since I work from home, go to school from home, and rarely leave the house more than one or two days a week, I have little to no contact with the outside world, and I haven't quite figured out what has taken the place of IRC. So these little glimpses into your lives are wanted and needed. You give me something to see other than my own existence. Your creations inspire me to dress better, work to improve my surroundings, give me ideas on books to read, and movies to see. And for all of this I am most grateful.

I am exactly the same way. When I moved from Chicago to California, I was so grateful for my blog community - starting over in a new place is stressful, and not knowing anyone in my new town was tough, but I had my online friends to offer continued support. It made the transition easier, for sure!

Made me laugh ... as I too have a blog addiction but don't have the work at home excuse ;).
