Addict
Jon took this photo of me in the Apple store in San Francisco browsing blogs on a PowerBook. I had been without Internet access for almost 48 hours, and my skin was starting to peel off from blog withdrawal.

I went a few days without blogging while on vacation a few weeks ago and got very twitchy and irritable. Glad to know that even the great Dooce has the same problem! Bwaha!

Even worse: stopping in an Apple store to check the fricking web hits statistics of your (as of now, totally dead) blog, and smirking at everyone on the store cause you so totally got like 5 hits from Chile, BOOH-YAH.

I am the same way. We (gasp) don't have internet access at home so I find myself wanting to swing by my work or my husband's on the weekend to blog. Soon there will be 12 step programs for blog addicts.

The Apple Store - Happiest Place on Earth. My company could have me on a business trip anywhere, and as long as there is an Apple Store, I don't feel homesick.

The Apple Store looks so pretty. I've never been to one. I have surfed blogs on a lobby computer while waiting to get my hair done, though.

I love the family outing to the Apple Store! We did the same thing when the Roseville Apple store opened here MN. The family that Nerds together stays together!

jeah, that is pretty scary..48 hours - but didn't you meet a few bloggers live and in colour though?? a 12 step program sounds like a plan. i'm gonna end up being fired for browsing blogs at work all the time. but my internet at home is just so darn slow - and expensive..

I am floored by how skinny you are. And by the fact that I never realized this.

My little family could live in the Apple store.

I second that!

If it means anything to ya, I'm in my college library reading YOUR blog, and others, instead of STUDYING.

The remnants of Ivan knocked out my internet access for a couple of days. Lights, food, water I can do without, but don't take away my net.

I was without internet on account of Hurricane Frances. That was an unpleasant experience - being w/o the internet (not to be confused with Hurricane Frances . . . 2 totally different animals). However, while you can surf the internet to find out about the hurricane, you can't surf the hurricane to find out about the internet. Believe me, I tried.
I love your writing style Heather . . . very unique and clever. I've been captivated since . . . well since I found your site about a week ago from caliblog.

I love the way the apple store smells. It's so apple-y. And by apple-y, I mean the company, not the fruit...... :P

At least I now know that I am not alone in my blog addiction problem, including forsaking work to get my fix.

Now why did she have to have that bag? I wanted a good look at her famous pooper.

sorry, I missed the opp. to comment on "Mecca" - why is it that EVERY SINGLE TIME I go to Old Navy or Barnes & Noble, I have the serious urge to poop? Do they have some kind of subsonic bowel-moving rhythm playing from their soundsystem?!?!?

The Apple Store in San Francisco? Drool.
I vacation soon, for over 2 weeks. I'll bring my iBook and hope for connections along the journey. MUST BLOG. MUST READ BLOGS.
And posting pictures is definately a must.

i've surfed other blogs and emailed like crazy during my own honeymoon. which was on a carribean cruise!

WHY ARE YOU SO SKINNY? YOU JUST HAD A BABY.
I hope my physique is as good as yours when I give birth to a nearly 8-pound baby.
Love how thin those PowerBooks are.
09.20.04 - 08:19 AM / 26Rose said:
I was thinking the exact same thing. Why are you so skinny?! How do you do it? =)
09.20.04 - 08:42 AM / 27informer said:
breastfeeding + new baby anxiety = massive weight loss. I weighed 117 lbs at 5'11 (without trying) by the time my son turned 1 (don't recommend it I got really sick!)

Um, yeah...my 8.3oz-birthweight baby girl is only a month younger than Miss Leta and my rear view is not NEARLY as nice looking as yours! I know "thou shalt not covet"...but I covet the size of your thighs!!! :)

The other thing about the Apple Store is that they always have an open wireless network, so I know whenever I'm near one I can whip out my iBook and log on.
I've actually pulled of the highway in upstate NY to swing by a mall that I knew had an Apple Store just so I could check my email. SICK!!
