We don't get dessert around here very often

If I make cookies, I eat the majority of the cookies. If I make a pan of bars, I eat the majority of the pan of bars. If I buy a new shirt, I want to wear the shirt everyday. I'm beginning to see a pattern of lack of moderation in my life. Remember, the diet coke? I have a new obsession with Savers - I think I could go every day (oh, the possibility of snagging another bargain!) And now blogging. It's great. I love blogging. I've gotten in touch with some old friends, love the communication it brings (I think stay at home parents need all the support they can get), family's are spread out, and it's a great way to keep in touch. I enjoy getting to know other people better and have had some great belly laughs and teary moments reading other's blogs. But, I'm getting a bit freaked out by the whole thing too. I don't know who is reading my blog, and part of me is pretty private/shy, and that bothers me a bit. I read other people's blogs that I don't even know and I'm thinking not all of this is peachy.....I waste too much time. This age of communication is crazy. How to keep moderation on it all? Autumn already has asked for a cell phone, an email address, a blog page, a facebook and/or myspace account.....she's 8! We go to the grocery store and she wants to borrow my phone to text dad to pass the time. As a parent, this is a great responsibility knowing how to regulate. So, anyways, because I have a tinge of guilt going on right now, I'm feeling it's time to realize I yet again am going down a path I might need to be controlling better. So, I think it's time to close the laptop for the day. (could I keep it closed the whole wkend....gasp?) What to do now?
I'm thinking I'll head up to the casino for the day (one with an all you can eat buffet would be great). Grab a mega diet coke and a 2 lb bag of peanut M&M's for the road trip. Stop at Best Buy on the way out of town and pick up that blackberry that I've been wanting to have for over a year now...then I could sign on to MSN on the way up to the cities and IM Brendan while I'm driving and maybe even update my blog on my way home with new pics so you can see the cookie & bar pans I plan to buy at William's-Sonoma or my new favorite shirt I hope to find.
heeeeeeeeeelp! :) Happy, happy Friday!
