Internet Withdrawls

I have a working pc with internet - THANK YOU GOD!! Laptops fried and only have one working desktop but that's ok - I am happy! It's funny when I think about what in the world I did before internet.

I was telling hubby (well, whining to hubby) that I couldn't even look for a job because I had no internet and he asked me, "can't you look in the paper?" Well, duh yeah I can do that but then again, few employers use the newspaper for recruitment anymore. I can't exactly "post my resume" in the newspaper either and then sit and await the job wanting me to work 20 hours a week and pay me $200k a year, now can I?

Then I decided to do the fun cinnamon Christmas ornaments with the kids. I went in to a pout because I couldn't get online to find the recipe only to finally remember that I do own a gazillion books and among them were many kid craft books. Amazingly enough, I found the recipe I was looking for but it wasn't nearly as easy as googling it.

Next, I got a letter from our storage company saying we were past due on our storage unit. Well, how can that be when it's debited from our account every month? Let me pull up the bank account and see if they debited it - NOT. What the hell was I supposed to do??? Look at the paper statement? Seriously, like open the statement? After going through 5 unopened statements I found what I needed. Not sure why we even still get paper statements but sure glad we do!

At night, instead of cuddling up with my laptop, as I do every night, I have actually been curling up with a BOOK! I know, seriously wild or what? I've been reading a book. Personally, I love me a good audiobook in the iPod and it was really odd reading an actual book again. That's kinda sad but it's true.

I've learned from my week without internet that 1) I am one lazy girl and 2) I AM SooOOoOOo grateful for my pc and my internet :)

I can't wait until kids go to bed so I can come back and read all the blogs I've missed . Yeah! I can breathe again - and be a lazy butt!
