It is the funnest and most colorful meme in the blogosphere!

Slowly realizing the depth of my blogging problem,
This is great; I can definitely relate to all of the above, haha!
Love it! I can definitely relate.
You know you have a blogging problem if you question whether or not you have a blogging problem!
Uh-oh… I think I have a problem….and the solution, probably only to totally pull the plug cold turkey and we all know that isn't going to happen. So I will just stand and say; 'hi, my name is Emily and I am a blogger."
HA! I love it! I can relate to each and every one of those!
You know you're a blogger when…you take a picture of spilled milk instead of crying over it.
You know you have a blogging problem when you try hard to think of a blog name for your baby to be.
I know that I have a blogging problem, and I'm happy about it. I also put ideas for blogs on my fridge next to the grocery list. Guess which gets looked at first? So that's why the pantry is empty??
Jenners, thanks for your friendship and prayers. It really means a lot to me!!
I soooo have a blogging problem…
Here are some of mine:
You know you have a blogging problem if:
1) You mention someone whose blog you read in everyday conversation, and other members of your family actually know who you're talking about.
2) "Real life" friends and family members base Christmas and birthday presents around things they saw on your blog instead of things you may have mentioned in person.
3) "Real life" friends and family members ask you how something went recently (ie a weekend outing, a shopping trip), and your first response is, "Oh, have you not read my blog lately? I'll send you a link to the post!"
4) Your "inner voice" often speaks like a narrator (and if you just had a freaking tape recorder on hand at all times you'd spend much less time at the keyboard trying to remember that awesome wording you came up with the day before).
5) You make lists of stuff to blog about in the future.
6) You specifically do things (whether it's taking the time to photograph a new recipe you just made or begging your dad to ride a unicycle), just because it would be cool to blog about (although watching your dad attempt unicycling is cool all by itself, I must admit).
This list could go on and on, Jenners! Help!
LOL…true, I do think about that sometimes… I wish I had and answer for you=(
Happy St. Patricks Day.
This is an awesome list. And I second Molly's addition, too. I totally have blog envy, and comment envy, and i can't read a book that fast envy.
All of those apply to me!!! I'm a blogaholic!! And yes, I do have blogger envy too.
Love your post-it notes.
LOL!
I do know more about my bloggy friends and I think of everything in my life if it's blog worthy, lol. But I forgot my own blogoversary! lol
I love your post-its and I can so relate to blogging obsessions. There's nothing wrong with being a social blogger : )
IS THIS BLOG WORTHY…I do that to my husband all the time….ha ha …thanks for dropping by my blog, I'll stop in again soon!
You know you have a blogging problem when you wake up in the middle of the night struggling to think of something cleaver to write in response to Jenners' question.
You know you have a blogging problem when after taking his picture you say to the birthday boy, "This is going to be on the INTERNET, so make it a good one! Yeesh!" And then retake the picture.
Oh man, LMBO. I am so glad these don't apply to me yet. I'm heading in that direction at a fast pace though. Hopefully you have the solutions before I get there.

Oh man, I am definitely guilty of saying, "Hey I read on this blog–" Time to start the 12 step program… Happy Tuesday!
You know you have a blogging problem when you check your blog and blog reader before you eat breakfast…
OK, time for breakfast now!
Crap.
I'm an addict.
Lmao I am guilty of all of those. My hubby often gives me strange looks when I start talking about blogging…and all the people (that I dont know IRL) Its hilarious

. . . if you turn your back on someone in the room who is talking to you to comment on a blog post.
. . . if your child has to scream more than three times that he is hungry before he gets your attention
LOL I love those & must admit I'm pretty guilty of most! That must mean I'm obsessed!
Happy Post it Note Tuesday!
I totally say things like..
It's Ruby Tuesday ya know
and
So and so said such and such. Oh, she's one of my blog friends
You're not alone Jenners lol

I know I have a blogging problem because I am more interested in finding my blog friends on Facebook than people I went to high school with! I adore my bloggy friends! People I went to high school with..not so much.
Now wait a minute….I thought you had that all figured out!!!! You're sinking into the pit again??? It's a slippery slope, isn't it?
You say this like those are BAD things?!
I don't have a problem. *twitch*
Oh Cripes, I suffer from ALL of those symptoms!
You know you have a blog problem when you write personal things about people in your life and then one day they find your blog and get mad at you….ooops. Learned my lesson there.
You know you have a blog problem when after something nice your husband asks: "Are you going to blog about this?" And after a fight he says, "Don't you dare blog about this!" *sigh* he knows me so well.
You know you have a blog problem when you find yourself taking photos of a plate of brownies from every possible angle. And your dog is watching you with that look: "oh, this must be for her blog."
Love your blog, Jenners!
And yes, I know her in real life too now, I mean!
My dearest and oldest internet friend will always be known to me primarily by her screen name, if for no other reason that it's bright and cheerful and beautiful and that suits her perfectly!
All too true.
But at least we are sharing in a community (I try and convince myself that makes it all OK)
Al
Publish or Perish
Too funny.. and true! My advice: blog less and spend more time in the real world? Otherwise, just embrace your blogginess!
Jenners' Post-It Note Tuesday is my favorite day of the week!
As always, love it!
My computer has been really slow and I have been busier than usual, so I have blog guilt for not keeping up with my blog and reading others! (guess you are a lucky one to have me read yours tonight!)
Okay wait…I have a feed count? How is this possible I didn't know about it…oh great something else to obsess on…and just when I thought I was getting over it and getting it under control…you have to throw in a feed count??? AAARRRGGHHHHH!!! I'm going to blog!
..If at dinner instead of telling your husband the news about your real friends you tell them what's going on with your pretend friends – AND WORSE YET – he RECOGNIZES their (blog) names!!!!!!
(stands clears throat and says) When I grow up I want to be Jenners. I want to steal all of her followers and have witty and humorous blog posts all the time.
You know you have a blogging problem when your husband says, "ummm, honey? Could you not bring the laptop to bed tonight, please?"
I am with ya, sistah!
Problem? What problem? I think that it is perfectly rational to have these deep conversations with people I have never met. It reaffirms my belief that there are people just like me in the world, even if they are not someone I see every day. So if it is a problem, then I want to live with it, because it would mean that I would never have 'met' you!
Enjoy the day!
Erin
All of the above! I clearly have serious issues/problems. I really wouldn't know what day it was without the memes.
Solutions? Blog more?
You know you have a blogging problem if…
you ask other bloggers to write your content for you (by asking them when they know they have a blogging problem)!
And worse yet?
You know when you have a blogging problem if…you comply by writing a response! Or, make that two!
I just remembered a telling sign that another blogger pointed out to me on a post once: I posted about my infant always sharing the dog's rawhide bone. (Apparently it was a great teether!) And also my infant chewing on our dog's ear (yes, I know, it's gross!), and the telling part of it was that I snapped pics of each incident (look in Jan archives) before I took the bone and the ear from the baby. LOL. Now THAT'S addicted.
*disclaimer- my baby is very healthy in case anyone wonders, lol
okay, here's one: when you hope that your child will say something brilliantly subversive that you can use in your blog, not caring that your child is being rude and disrespectful.
Guilty.

Hi, my name is Jen and I have a blogging problem.
OMG. I think I suffer from every.single.one of these!
HALP.
Oh – I suffer from all kinds of blog envy.
And I'm working on it, but I feel guilty if I don't visit any blogs for more than 2 days.

Ok. I obviously have a problem.
My name is Momma and I am a blogoholic.
Uh oh, almost all of these applied to me. Blogging and blog-related stuff is always on my mind.
As you are reading a book you constantly wonder "would this quote be useful in my blog review?"
