I am basically plugged in all week long, but I don't do much surfing on the weekend - I prefer to be out and about with people. But if I do want to check out some blogs, that's okay. I just don't make it a priority like I do in the week. I try not to be so black and white about the “unplugged” thing.

And it almost killed me. Writing and reading are my new addictions. A week.

That's a lot to put up with, especially when you think everyone else is slacking off. I haven't! Even though I don't have a 40-hour-plus job outside the home. Maybe your summer will be fall, or winter.... Aw. That’s a lot to put up with, especially when you think everyone else is slacking off. I haven’t!

He gave us a lift to Pearson in the car which I dubbed the Gagwagon. I wonder what happens if you go: vomit + febreze + heat... I hope never to smell the pain.

(except i'd probably go to the little terminal by the beach to check my email and stuff at least, oh, twice a day). i know this, cause we spent months travelling southeast Asia a few years ago, and yep, even before blogging we were both in need of our internet time, our wider world. sand, nice. swimming, nice. but internet...necessary. oh Kelly, me too!

Whilst home with the kiddos, it's a recipe for a trip to the psych ward. I could imagine, though, a trip with just my husband, lots of sand and turquoise water and little white fish that come to kiss toes and slushy drinks that make one instantly woozy and sun delirium and a lusty retiring to a hotel room...for that, I'd un-friggin-plug, ya know?

My ideal: a house on a lonely beach with no technology around for miles (ok, maybe a small television). I WANT to be unplugged and so wasn’t this summer, sigh.

I can't remember the last time I was unplugged for more than a day. Probably summer of 2002, when I traveled to Europe for a dance tour. Cottage with wireless – I’m there!

Except for my internet fix...which I try to hide from my kiddies...which is becoming decidedly more difficult as they grow older. If the whole world could just leave me the hell alone and let me live in my bloggy heaven, my life would be darn near perfect. Not quite perfect, but close. I unplugged last summer for three months. After the first week, I didn't miss it at all, until I plugged back in and realized that my quality of life really is affected by my virtual world...as in...it is better with all y'all in it. Since then, I like to keep you close. Especially the hot ones, like you. I live in a state of unpluggedness.
