Weighing one against the other, maybe I should get Verizon to cut off my internet more often. I'm certainly not going to voluntarily go cold-turkey! I'm not that disciplined. :)
Still - if I'm behind on blogs and emails, I apologize. I'm trying to catch up now, but it may take awhile.
As for the rest of the weekend - it is Easter weekend, so the family and I will be off celebrating. He is Risen!!
Have a great weekend and I'll catch you next week.
Wow, you were really productive during your internet crisis. If mine shuts down, all I can do is try and figure it out and hit refresh and phone people to come and fix it...and of course, pace up and down. LOL! WTG on turning a lime into limeade!
ReplyDeleteWow, Heidi, you are superwoman! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to cut back on my Internet time. Not easy, but my writing has to come first.
I'm impressed! I wish I could force myself to go without it more often. Oh the good ol days!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you!!
Wow, maybe I should disconnect the internet and I could get that much done as well.
ReplyDeleteWow. I unplug once in a while, but I try to even keep my computer off.
ReplyDeleteI'm a bread-a-holic. So if I'm baking, I make bread. And then part of my brain says, hey, bread is good for you, I mean, only crazy no-carb people would argue with that. So then I stuff myself with bread.
Also, when I don't want to clean. I clean closets.
Yep, that's what I just took a break from doing.
Also, congrats on the wakeboarding score :D
My kids at 4 and 7 have surpassed me in everything but driving games. I kick butt at those...
Wow! You have inspired me to unplug for two consecutive days a month. I shall do it!
ReplyDeleteAnd no apologies are necessary. I think I may have to thank my internet provider if it goes down for a couple of days (I love it, but it can get my priorities mixed up too).
