I spend a lot of time online because…

Well, the first and most obvious answer is that I’m a blogger. 
When your job is online, you have to spend a lot of time there. I spend hours a day researching for articles and ideas. I explore and search for companies that I may like to work with. I network with other bloggers… in general we’re a great crew of interconnected people that help each other achieve our goals. And then, of course, is the time I spend writing. My writing format is a blog, so I need to be online to publish it.
I also spend some time playing games online. I enjoy playing Bingo, slots games, and a Farmville-style game called Royal Story.
I’ll often visit message board communities. They are a great way to get ideas or learn about new topics and often inspire posts I write here. I most often spend time on mom-centric and health conscious boards, because these are the most important things to me.
Being online is a great way to connect with family and friends, too. I will chat with people through messengers and Facebook.
Do you spend a lot of time on online? What things occupy that time?
I spend to much time on-line,when I should be out in the world and getting exercise. I do play games on-line too but I also swag which takes up alot of my time. And then there’s reading blogs and getting in on giveaways so by the time I am done, most of the day is also.
I’m the same way. The cold weather drives me indoors a lot more, too.
