Might As Well Face it...
I'm addicted to blogs.

The title only works if you hum along to the original song Addicted to Love. I've altered the words to fit this week's Beauty of Blogging carnival. Not sure if it fits the beauty category, but it sometime is the truth and isn't the truth beautiful?

I admit that's strethcing it but God's been reminding me that whatever I do whether it's blogging, or writing or homeschooling, I should do it all for the glory of God. (1 Cor 10:31) And that when my addictions get out of whack, his Grace is always waiting for me.

Okay, now, start humming...

THE LIGHTS ARE ON. AND I'M AT HOME
MY MIND, IS NOT MY OWN

MY EYES STING, MY LEGS ARE NUMB
FROM SITTING, HERE ON MY BUM

MY BRAIN IS WIRED. I CAN'T SLEEP
THERE'S NO DOUBT. I'M IN DEEP

MY THROAT IS TIGHT. I NEED SOME WATER
MY BLADDER'S FULL. I KNOW I OUGHTTA...

OH I LIKE TO THINK THAT I'M IMMUNE TO THE WEB, OH YEAH
IT'S NOT EVEN CLOSE TO THE TRUTH
I MIGHT AS WELL FACE IT I'M ADDICTED TO BLOGS
I MIGHT AS WELL FACE IT I'M ADDICTED TO BLOGS

THE SCREEN IS BURRY. I CAN'T READ
I'M LOGGING ON AT HALF THE SPEED.

MY HEART BEATS, AT DOUBLE TIME
ANOTHER BLOG, AND I'LL BE BLIND. BOTH EYES BLIND

IT CAN'T BE SAVED, BLOGGER IS DOWN
MAYBE I'LL SWITCH AND BROWSE AROUND

OH I LIKE TO THINK THAT I'M IMMUNE TO THE WEB, OH YEAH
IT'S NOT EVEN CLOSE TO THE TRUTH
I MIGHT AS WELL FACE IT I'M ADDICTED TO BLOGS
MIGHT AS WELL FACE IT I'M ADDICTED TO BLOGS
MIGHT AS WELL FACE IT
MIGHT AS WELL FACE IT I'M ADDICTED TO BLOGS

MIGHT AS WELL FACE IT YOUR ADDICTED TO BLOGS!

So with that confession, I bid you farewell while I nurse another obsession ...scrapbooking. Do I feel a song coming on...

MY PHOTOGRAPHS, FILL UP MY HOME
MY TIME, IS NOT MY OWN

WHOSE THIS, IT LOOKS LIKE JOE
IT'S BEEN SO LONG, I JUST DON'T KNOW

MY BRAIN IS WIRED, TOO MUCH CAFFINE
WILL THESE ALBUMS, EVER BE SEEN

MY THROAT IS TIGHT, I NEED SOME WATER
MY BLADDER'S FULL, I KNOW I OUGHTTA...

OH I LIKE TO THINK THAT I'M IMMUNE TO SCRAPPING, OH YEAH
IT'S NOT EVEN CLOSE TO THE TRUTH
I MIGHT AS WELL FACE IT I'M ADDICTED TO CROPS
I MIGHT AS WELL FACE IT I'M ADDICTED TO CROPS

Okay, I'll stop now!

Very funny! Now I'll be singing Robert Palmer and picturing dancing (swaying?) girls.

SO hilarious!!

Very cute. I'm right there with ya! I sit down to check my e-mail and 2 hours later....

Hey - there are worse addictions! Fellow New York Italian girl...I'm glad we found each other!

 
At 7:53 AM, Blogger Praying for your Prodigal said...

I am so with you! Maybe we should just start a support group--online, in cyberspace, on a blog....of course!

Do they have a rehab center for people like us? Last week I enforced a blog fast because things have gotten so bad (and still, I might have cheated just a tiny bit).

 
At 10:56 AM, Blogger Michelle Pendergrass said...

I was singing before you told me I should be.

Thank you so much for pointing out my addiction. LOL

I'm glad I joined the Carnival of Beauty, I might not have found your blog otherwise.

Uhm...as if I need another blog to read! ;)

My bladder is full, LOL! Your song is so accurate. Hey, have you been peeking in my windows? No, I'm serious....

Sorry, that anonymous was me, I forgot to put my name in...

 
At 3:01 PM, Blogger Erin said...

I am CRACKING up!!! Hope I don't wake up the napping children as I chortle. Oh they've probably been awake in their cribs for hours, but just... one... more... blog...

 
At 6:52 AM, Blogger Susanna said...

Fantastic!! I am taking this opportunity to read blogs as my son is trapped in his high chair.....cunning plan huh?!

 
At 5:57 AM, Blogger Sherrin said...

I can identify all too well with both addictions, although I've never experienced the number of discomforts you describe as a result :).

 
At 9:16 PM, Blogger Camy Tang said...

ROFL! Those lyrics are hilarious! Thanks for visiting my blog, too!
