I understand where you are coming from. I can sit here for hours just looking at all the cakes. Why is this site so addicting?

I dont understand either I have seen many treads about this subject and I still cant figure out why we cannot walk away.
I guess because you tell yourself, I just want to see what's up and I will only be on here for 15 minutes. Then you see something and you post something and well, it's been 2 1/2 hours and my DH has asked me 4 times if I was almost done, he knows I wanted to get to bed early! I keep on saying I am almost done. He just laughs. Our boys were up way too early this morning. Oh well, I will catch up next week!

Good Luck!

Because we have a place to go that nobody else in the family wants anything to do with. We spend so much of our day, doing for others, that it is just nice to have something all to ourselves. Plus, we know all the answers and can solve all the world's problems and have fun doing it. LOL

As I said earlier, I was supposed to be getting work done that is obviously late and I spent most of my day on CC. icon_rolleyes.gif

I wish this site was less exciting.

icon_surprised.gif What am I saying????

Never mind, the way I see it is if I get fired, there will be more time for cake stuff. icon_twisted.gif

Go study! I'll watch the place for you.

I should be doing hubby's invoicing at this very minute because he's going to walk thru that door any minute and ask if I'm done and I haven't even started. icon_redface.gif

I only found this site a couple days ago, but have wasted plenty of time on it! I HAD to mop my floors this morning and couldn't pry myself from the computer so I actually had to LOCK THE COMPUTER UP! (It's a desk inside a cabinet, you close the doors and the mess goes away!) Seeing the lock reminded me everytime I reached for those doors!

Because there are always more cakes to see...every minute....more cakes....more people talking about cakes.....more things to learn about cakes.....more cake.....

Maybe we are being hypnotized!!

I knew I was addicted when my hubby called out from the other room
"are you on the cake site!?!"

I clicked off like I was looking at something naughty icon_surprised.gif

I think it's rubbing off on him because if I have the site pulled up but minimized, he will pull it up and start looking at it too....hmmmm....maybe I can get him to start helping me....
Thanks Cake Central for making me a cake nerd! LOVE IT!
