you have been married for 2 years and you are still here

you still buy bridal magazines

You still send out for invite samples

You have learned the fine art of Alt Tab when your manager walks by

You type your responses in MS Word and then paste them here

You log on to LIW before your work system

Please add your own

I do that ALL! the time (referring to the girls). I told my sister I was going to dinner and she said with who. I said my friend, Kathy. She said you have a friend named Kathy???? I just assume we are all friends but the outsiders don't get it, LOL!!!!!!!!!!

When you feel lost afer being logged-off for only a few hours

When you find time to post all day, but somehow the the boxes are still packed in the corner of the new house

You FREAK out when your cable modem goes down, not because you cannot access work, but because you NEED to post on LIW

When you say to your DH 'Wait until the girls here about this' and I mean the LIW girls

Michelle, that reminds me, of one, when your boss keeps asking you for an update on something and you can't give it to him, b/c you are too busy on the board answering threads

You keep hitting refresh to see if anyone has posted anything new

When the end of the day comes around that is when you hurriedly try to finish everything you started from the morning trying to get everything off your desk and you realize it is 4:55pm

When you keep saying to yourself I am going to log off in 5 mins and it turns in to 5 hrs or you say to yourself, I am not going to log on until I finish everything that I have to do...NEVER happens

You check LIW before doing anything on the computer.

You don't tell people you visit the site anymore because you are still here almost 2 years after your wedding.

when you get impatient for someone to respond to your posts!

you think about checking your fm more than your email!

You stop working in the middle of the day to come on the website.

The thought of having to go to a training class at 1230 until 2pm is going to KILL ME!!!

Re: You know you are Addicted to LIW and wedding planning when....

What about you do not go out to lunch anymore, your lunch hour or 2 or 3 is spent at your desk, when caught on the net on LIW you say you are on lunch it seems like you have an all day kindda lunch hour

Re: You know you are Addicted to LIW and wedding planning when....

Seriously, my days here are numbered. To break my addiction, I will be setting up our computer desk in DH's office in the new house. I will not be allowed in there during the day...
I think I might get the shakes, but it should only last a few days, and then I'll be recovered!

Re: You know you are Addicted to LIW and wedding planning when....

When you get pi$$ed that someone at your office gives you actual work to do because you think about how much time it will take you away from the boards.

I find myself cursing the phone when it rings and I'm in the middle of reading a thread...what are these poeple thinking
