Why yes, I may be just a *tad* addicted.....

Considering I really didn't have anything to post (and still don't - what can I say, I lead a pretty boring life) I was utterly crushed when I woke up yesterday morning to discover that Blogger wasn't working.  Despite my desperate tweets -


And just went about my business until evening.  As you can see from that last tweet, I came home to find Blogger still broken.....then things began to spiral out of control.  As witnessed by the next set of tweets....



















By then, I began to lose it - just a little.

Then when I woke up and discovered that it was STILL down.






I began to grieve.  And plan Blogger's funeral.  And tried to decide what dish I should have Hubby make for the wake.

And? Despite myself, I began to think that maybe....just maybe.....I should create a FaceBook page just for my blogging friends.  (I know, I lost my mind for a bit there - but the thought is still there in the back of my head.....you know, as a "just in case" scenario).

Then, lo and behold, I saw THIS tweet this afternoon....


And all was right with my world again.

    I daresay that if it had went on until tomorrow we would have been seeing live footage of you on CNN...and not in a good way!

    It's still not completely fixed, but at least it's working. Everyone's posts are out of order, comments still missing, and I've still had some trouble leaving comments.

    I was on vacation, so it was only your tweets coming across my phone to let me know that my favorite addiction was down. By the time I got home, all was well/

    I was going insane Thursday night and Friday. My page came back up (though missing posts and formatted funky) and I ended up redoing a ton of stuff. I felt helpless because I didn't have access to my dashboard and everyone else's blogs though. It was as bad as being cut off from facebook--maybe worse.

    Cheers!

    As we've already talked about, it WAS SO ME that mended it, with my 'look'. You know the one only us Mums can give and voila, 7 mins later it came back. I'm scary me!

    I love that you thanked Blogger for giving you murderous thoughts. I am not on Blogger and I have those same thoughts. I wish I had a platform to blame. :)

    I was so glad when Blogger was back.

    As you saw on Twitter, I was so bored that I did laundry.

    OMG Gigi,and I thought I was an addict! I'm laughing hysterically, you are too cute! BTW, that whole crash made me turn to Wordpress. I should be going through "The Change" by weekend! I honestly don't think I could survive another experience like that one.

    I don't know. I was thrilled to find Blogger down. It even said it was down, so I knew this time it wasn't me. I can't change a pixel on my template without the whole thing blowing up (audibly, and from across town) but this time, this one precious time, I knew it was nothing I did, nothing I said. And I relaxed and waited for it to come back to me, all sniveling and apologetic.
