Have You Seen My Brain???

The aliens that live in my computer have absconded with my brain.

Really.

I have proof.

For the last 2+ days I've been sitting here mindlessly following links and reading blogs and filling out forms. It began Saturday, when I happened onto a blog, Thrifty Florida Mom, who talked about buying all kinds of groceries and drug store items for little or no money! Really!

Twenty-four hours later I have checked out about fifty different sites and stores and applied for several bonus cards. I've also printed about 20 pages worth of coupons. (and then went to Food Lion and got Eggo Waffles and 2 kinds of tissues for pennies!!)

Of course, then I needed a coupon organizer, and that necessitated about 10 more online stores, then another hour trying to make my own, then a trip to Roses to purchase said coupon holder for $2.00. Later today I plan to visit at least 2 different drugstores and another Food Lion (for more whole grain waffles).

Yup - I have issues.

It gets worse. This morning, following some link on a blog, I arrived at Slick Deals. There I followes ALL kinds of links and eventually started filling out forms to get free stuff (the USB bracelet should arrive shortly). Then - without any conscious thought - I began filling out survey forms to earn points towards Amazon gift cards.

Several hours later, after being caught in a never-ending form, I woke up.

OMG!!!

Shouldn't computers come with an UNDO button???

So.....to recap:

I now have 120 coupons with more arriving daily, many bonus cards, and 2.7 million emails, snail mail and probably phone calls from people who want me to buy their crappy goods. Does that about wrap it up???

I've spent the last two hours digging out the house, doing laundry, dishes and general de-cluttering. This is the FIRST I've written - in days.

Beating myself up now...
