Get Unplugged
I can’t stress enough how important it is to leave the computer off and get away from it every so often. I do it quite often and every time it feels great. I even left the blackberry in a corner yesterday. Didn’t want to deal with it and didn’t miss it one bit. *grin*
This cake is one of the two we won yesterday. The kid’s school does an auction every year of fun cakes. You pay way to much for something like this, but all the money goes right to the school so it’s a good cause. Plus they always taste yummy too. This one was extra good because what looks like cake is actually brownie. Mmmmmmmmm.
Emily is all excited because she bought an outdoor room for her Webkinz. When I told her she wouldn’t have much money left her reaction was, “That’s ok. At least I can go outside and run around and play.” Virtual outside time, but with the muddy backyard right now it’s better then nothing.
Work continues around the house. Lots of little projects here and there. Forward momentum is the important thing!

Found your blog after hearing you on the Second Life podcast from a while back. I have a lot of friends who are going on web hiatus it seems. I agree it’s a good idea.
Just going to a movie at a theater, I find, is a good idea because there’s no pause button. You’re forced to relax for a couple of hours.

Glad to see I’m not the only father dealing with the Webkinz. They are at the same time a plush and virtual crack for 8yr old girls. At least some of the games can be considered educational and I’ve already had to talk w/ my daughter about managing her virtual finances.
