I'm going for it....kind of.

Alright friends that live in my computer....off off and away I go....for a few days.
I really liked Courtney's idea to partially 'unplug.'
Looking at this: One day's worth of laundry, I just don't think I can face it without some enlightening television viewing, so the tv is not out for now.

And looking at this: Cranky boy who throws himself on the floor in fits of screaming rage, and when ignored eventually stops his ear-piercing screech to instead suck his thumb, I don't think I'm ready for the kids to be completely tv free either.

But the truth is, the tv doesn't call my name the way the computer does. Not at all. This computer screen and keyboard has a hold on me and I don't like to feel pulled that much by anything that is not living. It will be hard to unplug. Very much so. My desk is right by my kitchen. I look directly at it from my kitchen sink. I walk by it approximately 1,052 times per day. It will call to me ((((Tisha))))come here....rest....read....relax....e mail your friends....you deserve a break....It will be tough to resist. I will probably have to literally unplug, and hide the mouse, and throw the keyboard in the trash, and write all over the screen with a sharpie like Stryder did. But I am alarmed that anything electronic can be such a pull. I am alarmed at how many times a day I check my e mail. I am alarmed that I've become so dependent. I hate to feel enslaved to anything. So I'm going to do it. A computer "fast". Not for a full week, but for a few days. I'll see how freedom feels. I know it will confirm my addiction because I will want to plug in, turn it on, dig the keyboard out of the trash, find the mouse, clean the sharpie off the screen, and read my list of blogs. I will want to check my e mail and see what my girlfriends are up to. I will want to sit in my favorite chair and view what the world wide web has to offer me today. But I won't....for at least a few days....I won't.
I'll kiss and snuggle her with all my 'spare' time instead.
