Blame it on the Blog

Fire Breathing DragonSo, I must confess, today I had to blame it on the blog!  As some of you may know, it it easy to become a little obsessive and compulsive about blogging.  It sometimes consumes your every thought.  And, it can at times, make you late for certain events.  Today was one of those times.

I needed to send a letter by Fed-x to someone in San Diego.  I figured I had plenty of time to do so.  I continued to blog about events in Grants Pass Oregon and I seriously lost track of time.  Once I realized it was 3:30pm, I started calling around for a Fed-x store.  After making several phone calls, to no success, I had a fleeting thought that I should have stopped blogging a little earlier and perhaps I would have successfully sent my Fed-x letter off today. 

Before I knew it, one of my family members said those dreaded words out loud; "Blame it on the Blog."  Oh my, I thought, what has become of me?  Normally, I do not suffer from OCD or ADD.  But this blogging thing can sometimes change my somewhat ambivalent personality to a blogging dragon (at that very moment I think I spewed a little fire out of my dragon breathing mouth). 

I suppose the moral of this quaint little story is... don't blame it on the blog.  Life is too short for that.  Fed-x will be open on Monday and will ship my letter to San Diego.  Perhaps my client will understand that a dragon ate my package.  It sounds more interesting than blaming it on the blog, don't you think?
