I don’t have a story today, just some random ramblings.
Many bloggers have mentioned both the joys of blogging and also the work it involves. What about the dark side of blogging? The things we learn that maybe we wish we didn’t! For me, it’s the discovery of Nutella during the holidays. The stuff is too good. I’ve discovered two really dangerous (to my weight) combinations for it. The first one is with peanut butter on toast. Oh so warm and melty! Yum! The second combination is even more dangerous because it is so simple—you take an open jar of Nutella and add a SPOON. How many times did I tell myself “well, just a little more won’t hurt”? Hahaha! Honestly, I do love it, but I’m being careful. I won’t buy a second jar until the time is right. Hopefully that won’t be tonight. =)
Do people drive worse in Spring? Something annoying has been happening regularly on my commute home. As I approach my exit, someone from the left lane speeds ahead and then cuts me off so he can exit too. Usually I would just think, “whoa, he almost missed his exit”. But in these cases there has been an opening of at least 75 yards (69 meters) behind me. Do these drivers feel they HAVE to pass at least one car? Would it be a blow to their ego to just merge over in that huge gap? That would be so easy and safe and they would only be one car farther back. I don’t understand. The speed limit is 65 mph and I’m usually going that speed as I approach the exit. One night I was going 72 (116 kph). The other driver must have sped up to 90 to pass me the way he did. Then he had to hit his brakes hard to avoid ramming the car in front of me. Genius!!!
I joked to Jing this week that Blogspot might be alive and all of our posts are forming its personality. That goofy thought occurred to me because the system has gotten very picky about what blogs I can visit and when I can logout. Has anyone else been having problems visiting blogs that usually load quickly? Well, I hope not, but at the same time I hope it’s not just me. LOL!
On Monday I will shed some light on the giveaway’s mystery prize. I know it wasn’t clear that there are three prizes, but it was sort of a last minute decision. Have a great weekend folks!
I know what you mean about the driving, the traffic in Hampton Roads is no joke, believe me.
ReplyDeleteAnd I haven't had trouble with blogs loading, but I have had trouble with blogs that appear in my dashboard and when I click to read them, Blogger tells me that they don't exist on that particular blog. It's quite annoying. :)
Have a great weekend yourself!
hehe. pages that load very slow has many widgets or gadgets added in their blog.
ReplyDeleteno aftershocks and everybody are fine! haha.
The dark side of blogging hehe I love that. I was actually just talking to another blogger friend about getting blogger and youtube brain washed and all of the things we think we need because someone else has them and likes them. I think the worst for me is the food especially during a holiday when everyone blogs their holiday treats its a killer for sure, probably doesn't help with my situation either. I have actually made it a point to only view certain blogs once I have eaten haha.
ReplyDeleteweeee...Nutella! love it too Rick...hmmm,yap everything that is too much is bad..hehe. But hey, its good for the brain!!! hahahha.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about your last problem about visiting blogs..you are absolutely not alone with it!
happy weekend and have it great!
Oh my gosh I just discovered Nutella over christmas too! I never ate it with peanut butter on toast..I ONLY ate it with a spoon! which is really bad..it sat on my computer desk and everytime I'd get bored i'd grab a spoon...aha soo addicting !!
ReplyDeleteI find that where I'm at, people have been driving SLOWER since spring came..like 10 under speed limit..i don't understand why ! it's so frustrating when i'm running late, haha
& no problems loading blogs for me yet!
have a great weekend too! i cant wait to hear what the mystery prize is !
I hope my blog doesn't load that slow. I hate the thought of my readers waiting.
ReplyDeleteGreat that you discovered Nutella... I never run out of stock in my pantry. We many not have rice or cooking oil or the other essentials, but we never run out of Nutella. Hahaha!
Have a great weekend Rick! xoxo
DARK SIDE OF BLOGGING. Ahh. That caught my attention. For sure, there are a lot ─ I can name several not-so-good-things about it. That may be dependent on how a person sees it. You should write a separate post for it :)

Take it easy on the Nutella, Rick. A spoonful of it can definitely be addicting and it's loaded with sugar .. just a friendly reminder there. Have a great weekend too!
Ric, i have another great nutella combo for you...
ReplyDelete- microwave 2 spoonfuls of nutella for 15 seconds
- cut up 2x bananas and put it on top of the melted nutella
- optional: top it all off with a huge scoop of ice cream!
(this is also known as one of my bf's ways to get me to stop being mad at him lol)
<3

ReplyDeletei miss blogging, been so busy :(
Hahaha, Nutella is a German product! Great you like it. As a child I also ate it often, but now...
ReplyDeleteLuckily I don't have any problems with blogspot, I hope they don't occur! :-)
Hmm, what can the mystery prize be? I am looking forward!

hey ric!!! i miss you hehehe it's good to be back :D
ReplyDeleteHahhahahaha, random thoughts indeed!
ReplyDeleteNutella is just sooooooooo good! I never buy it cause I'd never eat anything else if I had it at home!
I just thank the gods I don't drive, hehe! I'd curse drivers like those you've described SO MUCH!
Hehe, sorry, no problems visiting people's blogs!
Have a great weekend!
the dark side of blogging is that it can be addictive, and that you'll want to reveal way too much. And not everyone is friendly. :-s It's easy having a community of friends around who want to cheer you on...which balances it out. Nutella is manna from heaven. i agree with you.
ReplyDeleteHm...I haven't had trouble with blogs loading. Traffic here in Baton Rouge isn't as bad as other places I've lived, I'm pretty thankful for that.
ReplyDeleteu made me crave for nutella and toast, ric!.. nomnomnom!
ReplyDeleteoh man...nutella is good stuff. but i've been knowing about it for ages so it's old news for me. haha.
ReplyDeletehope you had a fun weekend pal!
mmmm nutella... spoon... yummm.... nutella on anything is good. have you had nutella gelato? its heaven. yummmmmm! and driving is bad all year round... at least here it is. i used to have really bad road rage but i'm slowly taking a different approach. I just take a deep breath, let it go and think about something happy. its so hard!!!!
ReplyDeletewhy did you have to mention nutella? why?! i came across nutella at my friend's blog. she had a HUGE close up photo of nutella posted and i've been craving for it eversince. i like to eat it on its own, a spoonful at a time. :D
