Mother Of All Bloggers
I’m having a hard time readjusting.
Am I the only one still recovering from Easter?
After 48 days of caffeine-free living, I am s.l.o.w.l.y easing my way back to coffee.
Who am I kidding?
I could barely even type that out without stuttering.
I’ll be honest. By Sunday afternoon, I had a rapid flow caffeine IV drip over here.
And holy head rush!
My mind can barely string a complete sentence together right now. Hence, my incredibly late Monday post…going nowhere.
Moderation. Yes, I know. Moderation.
I need to limit my consumption somehow before my bladder functioning decides to fail me all together.
Anyhow, I was thinking of not posting anything at all today, but then I remembered the crazy, awesome Mother of All Bloggers Contest at MomLogic. Which they’ve asked me to help judge!
Why is it crazy awesome you ask?
It may have something to do with the Grand Prize being a new laptop computer AND the top 3 winners receiving a new blog design.
A free L-A-P-T-O-P computer.
Man, I kind of wish I wasn’t a judge.
So check it out if you’re interested. I’m already a fan of so many of your incredible blogs, and you could really score big with this one.
Did I mention I’m a “Judge?”
I could be swayed ya know. *wink wink nudge nudge*
Kidding!
I’m just kidding. Really. Just a joke.
*ahem*
call me
A huge welcome back to the caffeine. I’m sure you all both missed each other. If they do some kind of a follower of mom blogs type contest, shout. Or if they can’t decide on someone to accept the laptop or something. I’m available. Just sayin’.

I just noticed how you change your little photos at the top. I know you had bunny ears the other day … and now you have your coffee!
And did somebody say free laptop and perhaps … rigged contest? I’m so in!

hahaha!! Love that post. You and chocolate/caffeine. =)
Glad you have them back.
Although I am on Momlogic, I really have NO chance at winning.
Glad you are back, and that your caffeine has kicked in. You post a lot more with a little caffeine!

I don’t blame you for jumping back into your coffee mug. I sure would if I could. My personality is so much better when I’m caffeinated!
Congrats on being asked to be a judge. What an honor!

I’ve always got my drip going on as well!

Caffeine keeps me up for days – and totally allergic to it!
But I do miss the smell of coffee!
Wow! Congratulations on being one of the judges!
Have fun reading …

Yoou’re a judge? Hmmmm….did I mention that you are my favorite blogger ever? *wink wink* I just thought I’d mention it. LOL
I can’t believe you gave caffeine up for Lent. You are a brave woman!
April 14th, 2009 at 10:04 am
I know how you feel…I’m always so jittery when I start drinking coffee again after a long hiatus!!
April 14th, 2009 at 11:13 am
Welcome back to the land of the caffeinated. It’s nice here.

Ah, sweet Sandy. Once again I’m given to regret that fact that I have NO BOOBS. I don’t qualify for the contest. Wrong plumbing.

Wait. You had no chocolate AND no coffee for Lent??? What kind of masochism was this????
Although I’d LOVE to win a laptop, I have a feeling that I’m not the “mommy blog” type that they are looking for

So, you went from caffeine withdrawl to caffeine overdose! There’s no way I’d survive…not without caffeine but the chocolate. Sometimes, there are days when I could an entire pound of it all. by. myself.
Have fun judging!!!!

Remember coffee is not a luxury. It’s a staple. Needed to function in this world.
If I wear a wig, could I qualify for the Mom’s blog contest?

momisodes, this is a scary post to read while sipping my macchiato (no caramel, just espresso and a dollop of dry milk foam) but the Lenten season is a wonderful time to do that which you would not do otherwise…

How funny! I stopped the pop almost two years ago, and after all the crap I ate at Easter, I actually broke down and had a swig! lol
As for the contest. I doubt if I’d qualify, lol. But it’s cool that your judging!

I never really knew how much I rely on caffeine; then I accidentally gave it up for a week. (Yes, accidentally… I was drinking so much beer that I didn’t realize I was without caffeine! And then when I told my husband that I had these killer headaches that I’d thought were hangovers; he mentioned my lack of caffeine. *LOL* Pathetic much?)
I love the idea of the mother of all bloggers contest! Now, how can I bribe you? Chocolate? Coffee? A bit of both? *lol*

I’ve just recently added caffeine back into my diet after 2 years of pregnancy & then nursing. I was so proud for going 2 years without it but now I sort of wish I hadn’t got back on. It took only a week to get totally dependent on it again! It’s that love / hate relationship! Laughed out loud @ this post

Wow, I wish I can join that contest. I’d love to win a laptop because I’ve been working all the hours that God sent to get myself one, recession or not.
I have lived with no coffee for three years now, but back then I used to take about four cups a day. I had to do it because too much coffee makes my stomach go bonkers and the medicine for that was so expensive. Good luck on your battle-slash-love affair with caffeine.

The only thing better than caffeine itself is the feeling of going back on caffeine after a break. It’s like make-up sex. RAWR.

There is no shame to my game….LOL!
