FRIDAY, FRIDAY, THE BEST FRANKFURTS ARE FRIDAY!!

I was just enjoying singing that little stylized ditty to our favorite weiner music when I hit enter to begin my blithering.....YOUR BLOG POST PUBLISHED SUCCESSFULLY!  Yowza....have to watch that! Didn't know I could do that with just one click.....I'm telling you, that just one click business will get your last shattered nerve good!  Ah well, what can I say...the learning curve has proved to be more of a challenge than I'd ever imagined! Proof in the pudding of course, when you don't even know enough to know what you don't know!  Or something like that. 
In any case, yesterday was an 'iffy' day shall we say.  I was feeling brave and perhaps a tad cocky so I decided to explore my options with this blogging business.  Look at add ons and such.  Enter Ad Sense.  Looking at the 'just click  here' button it would appear to be dead easy.  Even I in all my techno and computer idiocy might be able to swing this.  Ha! 
Fast forward four hours!  I know what you're thinking.  You're thinking, what is her problem?  Of course it's dead easy, you just blah and blah, and then bladdy blah, bladdy blah.  Yeah well not so much.  I did all that.  Lo and behold there it was on my Blog and I felt OFFICIAL and ever so grown up!  I had Ads.....ooooooooh........ahhhhhhhh.........but wait.  I'd like to change the way they look, that sidebar is resembling a giraffe's neck with no body.  It's all stretched out and looking naff.  Okay, no problem!  I'll just pop into my customize screen and spit spot.  Which I did. 
Annnnnnnnnnnnnnd review your Blog.....................HEY!  Where'd it go???  That was the beginning of the four hours.  Oh my giddy God!  You know it's one of those things that you get sucked into a vortex of basically going round and round in circles.  You're no longer really seeing anything clearly.  Information is not really processing.  You're becoming more and more frustrated but you keep on doing the same thing over and over expecting different results.  (We recognize that explanation from the dictionary for insanity right?)  I figure I'll check out the forums cause that's where you're supposed to find help.  Uh oh.....seems like scads of poor victims have gone before me!  No actual human contact to be had, just keep typing your question into blocks and pray that somehow magically the right answer will appear.  It didn't.  And that entire experience just about ruined an otherwise lovely day! 
What did I do wrong?  What I did wrong my lovelies was CONTINUING to slog away like that!  I needed to step AWAY from the computer.  Go do something else.  Go for a run!  Get some endorphins happening to restore my sense of well being.  Anything besides what I did.  It's right up there with the reason you continue to bash your head against a brick wall is because it feels so good when you stop doing it! 
So I stopped.  I had a lovely dinner with my fella who wanted to know why I had a stuffy nose.  So  I had cried a little.  FINE!  I admit it.  Like some 4 year old girl blubbering about Rotten Johnny stealing her Barbie Magic Van.  It was THAT frustrating!  He was very kind and understanding as always, although I could see he was making great effort not to laugh.  After a good night's sleep, a vicious work out on the Bastard Eliptical this a.m. I am restored and pressing on regardless!  And laughing.  What a maroon!  Nothing seems so dire now.
Bottom line: STEP AWAY FROM WHATEVER IS MAKING YOU LOSE YOUR SH*T.  It'll be there later once you've restored your melon.
