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

Re: You know you are Addicted to LIW and wedding planning when....
Good one Shamma! Thanks for teaching me about the ALT/TAB, never knew that before!
....You have mastered the art of "multi-tasking" i.e. checking the boards in between doing what we are paid for.

Re: You know you are Addicted to LIW and wedding planning when....
You check in on the board when you were on your HM
You start calling others to check the site for you if your server at your job is down
When invited to someone's home you ask if they have internet connection b/c you have to check in on LIW
You always have to post your plans here about everything that happens in your life
You have your hubby asking, what happened on the board today ie the QOTD 
You call the people on the board your friends

Re: You know you are Addicted to LIW and wedding planning when....
You visit your FIL's for a couple of hours, begin to itch... jump up in the middle of the visit and ask if it is okay to use their personal computer--- you have a very important business email you are expecting... you sneak upstairs and log on to LI Weddings....
When you return to the boards after a day or weekend or so you have to scroll through absolutely every post since you last logged on... It is not enough to see what is current....
You refresh the board about 20 times within one minute! It comes to you so naturally though- you don't even realize that you are doing it!
You employ a trusted friend on the board to give you "the minutes", "the highlights" or a recap of what you are going to miss when you go away... Heaven forbid, you miss a fun fake bride!! LOL!
You start a lot of sentences to your FI with
""The Girls" say we should do this" or
"I heard of this girl who did this for her
wedding..."
"My friend, Lisa, said we should do this..."
(and he's like what friend Lisa?)
Your FI wants to install parental locks on the computer....
He celebrates when the computer goes down.... and you are practically crying!!
And the number 1:::
Your cell phone rings while you are out to dinner! And your FI, as a joke, in front of your friends, says "OH NO. It's LI weddings calling- they are checking to see if you are alright because you haven't logged on in five minutes! They want to make sure you are okay"...

Re: You know you are Addicted to LIW and wedding planning when....
When you know more about the people on LIW then you do about the people you see every day.
When just about every conversation you have starts with "so this girl on LIW..."

Re: You know you are Addicted to LIW and wedding planning when....
OMGoodness, I see so much of what you ladies write in what I say and do
What about when you and hubby gets in to a discussion and he says, why don't you ask the girls on the board
When you communicate more with the ladies on the board than you do your real life friends

Re: You know you are Addicted to LIW and wedding planning when....
Shamma, LOL!!!
What about when you are on the phone with FI while at the same time surfing the site and a post comes up about how RCC's phone is not picking up and you see in a profile that the poor girls wedding is in less than two months!!! You say to FI quickly- "OMG- There is an emergency at work- I have to go!!!" and get off the phone abruptly! It is almost like you are on call patrolling the boards and were just called into an important detective case! I can't believe I am sharing this with you ladies....
Reading this over, I realize I have no life. OMG, I'm so depressed now!!!

Re: You know you are Addicted to LIW and wedding planning when....
OR when you and FI are on the phone and he says "Is something wrong? I feel like I don't have your undivided attention.... Is this a bad time?" and you are like "huh-what did you say?".... you weren't paying attention because you were writing a message to Chippa congratulating her on the all too important, exhausting task of hiring a photographer.

Re: You know you are Addicted to LIW and wedding planning when....
The undivided attention thing, I do it mostly to my aunt, she keeps going why are you not answering, and I go...one minute...she goes what are you doing and I make up some kind of excuse and go, oh something my client just sent I am reading...it is so wrong to treat our family so wrong LIW does it to you tho'

Re: You know you are Addicted to LIW and wedding planning when....
LMAO!!! Marisa, you are too funny!! I'm over here practically peeing! This is my life!
When I tell him "I'm getting together with the girls" & he says ... which girls are these?
When he calls me at home at 4:00 & I'm there he says "What happened, did the website shut down?"
When people walk by & ask me what I'm always laughing about!
When you have more printouts from LIWeddings than your work on your desk!
When your DH asks, "What happened w/that girl on the board who ...."

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

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