First the scientists discover that dark chocolate and red wine are good for you and now blogging! Sign me up to be a guinnea pig for those studies! My friend Jeremiah, who actually IS a scientist, sent me this link from Scientific American about why blogging is good for you.
Have a great weekend y’all!

Thank you for affirming yet another of my, obsessions, I mean habits. Pretty soon you’ll be telling us that gummy bears contain antioxidants. Won’t that be swell?

Where else can you rage/whine/preach/exhort/extoll/put your two cents in/talk about your mother-in-law issues/ask the big “why am I here” questions FOR FREE!!

Whoo hoo!
Now I just need a scientist to say it is good for me to spend mucho time each day reading blogs and not doing all the work I should be doing.

Well, duh. They sure used an awful lot of big words to explain what we already knew.

What? No. Blogging is a serious addiction, and you are an Enabler. You just enabled all of your blogging readers. FOR SHAME. (And thank you! I needed another excuse for bloggig, myself.)

Those wacky scientists and their studies. They’re always a few steps behind us, aren’t they?
Blogging WHILE eating dark chocolate and drinking red wine, now THAT is stress relief.

I must be the healthiest person alive! Like RIGHT. THIS. SECOND! Guess what I’md doing right now? Eating dark chocolate macadamia nuts, while sipping red wine and writing/reading blogs!
Since I’m not really all that healthy, I guess it’s really scary to think how dead I would be if not for dark chocolate, red wine & blogging.
I did note that the scientists neglected to mention the problem w/blogging into the wee hours of the night/ which might make you able to sleep better, it prevents you from the actual sleeping itself.

It is good for me, however- it was not so good when my husband’s family sought it out and read it. Damn.
Great link!

Totally convincing – now I have evidence for those family members who don’t see the benefits of blogging . . .

YAY! Permission! Documented proof that it is beneficial!
Could we just change the above to MILK chocolate, WHITE wine and blogging?
Then I’d be all set!
