What’s your addiction?

Digital World, Ebonisms, Wake Up Calls Add comments

If you’re reading this post on Sunday, October 12th, there’s a substantial possibility you need to get a life.

Didn’t you read my post, the other day? ( Are you indispensable?) Do you think the million dollar lead is going to come in today, and you just can’t stay away from the internet?

Shouldn’t you be enjoying the fall weather?
Maybe taking in a football game or playing with your kids?
How about seeing a matinee or reading a book?
Perhaps reading about the candidates on their websites, instead of listening to lame debates or pundits.
Fill in your alternate activity here…

FYI: I wrote this post a few days ago, and scheduled it to appear, today.

What’s your excuse?

I read this on Sunday, so I guess I need to get a life! You’re totally right, although I do enjoy blog-stalking; for me, it’s a little bit work and a lot fun. But I do need to get out of the house and enjoy the outdoors, get some activity in my life. My name is Vanessa, and I’m an addict.
