Without the internet

11:25 am Uncategorized

So, our internetless life goes on. You know, I really thought that ithout internet I’d have so much free time on my hands that I would go beserkers and finally clean my house. Nope! I’ve been much too busy to clean the house.

Without the internet, I am: reading books, great big thick ones.

Without the internet, I am: reading magazines, little thin ones about politics. Yes, politics.

Without the internet, I am: knitting stuff, warm wooly stuff. And that is a darn good thing, because last night, as I was sitting on the couch reading my thin political magazine, I was huddled under a blanket, wishing for something warm like Berghaus Clothing. Yes, after four years of summer, winter has finally arrived here in the deep south. Baby, it’s cold outside.

Without the internet, I am: no longer spending my days freezing at my desk which sits by the front windows.

Without the internet, I am: spending a lot more time with kiddos on my lap. They are very warm and snuggly.

Without the internet, I am: going places, like the movies. And getting paid to do it, which is a real nice bonus.

Without the internet, I am: having more fun than I thought I would.

Without the internet, I am: wearing my phone’s qwerty keyboard out texting my bff, Ang. Hey, I’m keeping it real!

Without the internet, I am: remembering how much I dislike Internet Explorer, which is the library’s browser of choice.

And finally, without the internet, I am: having a real hard time keeping up any sort of regular posting schedule. Hopefully that will get better when I have my (repaired) laptop back. I never intended to use Windows Live Writer when I set it up, but now… I’m hoping it’s a useful as all those reviews say it can be.

    If something happens and all computers disappear, people would get used to it very soon. Depends on how much one uses the internet in a day? Well it really does frees up lots of time.

    I had to go a week without my internet and it drove me insane. I didn’t think of it as “I have more free time”. Instead I wasted time worrying “when will I get my internet fixed!?!”
