Chocolate-Covered Fail


Hi chocolate chips!

Sorry about the blog issues this morning. My site’s host went down unexpectedly, and I was so frustrated because I’d scheduled a really fun recipe post: double chocolate brownie pancakes. The site going down threw a wrench in my chocolate-covered plans:

Pancakes Monday, Chocolate Fudge Pops Tuesday, Healthy Cool Whip Wednesday…

The site going down—and me not being able to do a single thing about it—drove me crazy! I guess it was a lesson for me to not take myself too seriously. I tried to busy myself with non-computer activities, to take my mind off of the broken blog.

Something that didn’t help? Giving my computer evil looks and reloading my page a million times a minute. All that did was waste time… and hurt my fingers. Roar.

Question of the Day:

Is anyone else a control freak too??

I also probably should work on my patience :-?.

    I saw (and still have) the pancake recipe in my google reader… just FYI and also score for me cause they look BOMB.

    I hate technical difficulties! Glad you and I cope the same.

    xo

    I’m being just a tiny bit (okay totally) of a control freak over my wedding. But hey, I only plan on doing it once!

  3. Kat @ a dash of fairydust says:

    Erm,yes,I am a serious control freak. It’s even anoying for me sometimes because I check everything twice or even more times…
    However,I was already wondering if my computer had a problem as it didn’t load your page,but I am relieved it were “just” technical problems. Looking forward to tomorrow’s post already! 😀

    Don’t worry, I, too, have zero patience when it comes to computer issues. I am an IT person, so I’m used to being the one fixing computer problems – when I have to wait on someone else to fix something, I just about lose it. I’m expected to keep my systems running 24/7 and expect the same of others.

    1. Chocolate-Covered Katie says:

      I was seriously about to lose it today when, at the end of a very frustrating conversation, the Bluehost guy was like, “Take a survey at the end of this conversation… and have a nice day!”
      Um, really? Grrrrr!!!

    I’m terrible with patience and I am a complete control freak. I got it from my mom. Computer issues are really annoying. I’m glad you’re back up and I look forward to tomorrow’s post.

    I hate computer problems. When I couldn’t get to your blog this morning, I was immediately blaming the shoddy internet servers at the university. I guess I should apologize to them. On second thought, they are still shoddy–just for different reasons!

    1. Chocolate-Covered Katie says:

      LOL oh this made me laugh! Yes, you’re right: they probably deserve your evil thoughts too!! 😉

  7. Jennifer JCD says:

    Yay, it’s back! Hurray! I can start skiving off work again. 😉

    Me, a control freak: yes, definitely. I have to remind myself not to let it get out of hand at times.

  8. Aisatsana says:

    Yay! I’m glad you’re blog is back up. I missed reading a post from you this morning… 🙁 Sorry about your technical difficulties….so frustrating.
    I can’t wait for the double chocolate brownie pancakes tomorrow!!! 🙂
    (BTW, that picture of the mint chocolate chip ice cream is stunning. I love it!)

  9. Julie H. of Spinach and Sprinkles says:

    You shouldn’t worry about it girl! 🙂 We’ll just be as excited about it tomorrow…… I may be a bit of a control freak… just maybe 😉

  10. VeggieGirl says:

    No one is as impatient as I am – I feel ya. But no worries on the blog issues! All is well 🙂
