Life without...

I'm here at school. Supposed to be getting lots of work done. You know - catch up, get reorganized. I've been here for an hour. Here I sit at the computer. Doing what you might ask? Reading blogs. (B, I think you're right. It is a sickness. :o) My computer has left me. So here I am online when I should be working. Who knew I would miss my computer so much!

Over the last two nights I have tried to go online no less than 20 times. (Not just for blogs :o) Everytime I thought about something I thought - Oh, I'll go check online. But I CAN't!!!!!!! What did we do before the internet??????

Truthfully, there are a lot of things I can't imagine living without. Things that in the scheme of things haven't been around all that long.

Do you remember life without ATMs???? I enter a bank maybe once or twice a year.

Remote controls? Couldn't find mine yesterday while the girls were napping (later found it on the kitchen counter of all places). I was miserable. I actually had to stand up to adjust the volume, and go through a million channels to find Judging Amy on TNT. :o(

Microwaves?

Velcro?

Cordless phones?

VCRs?

These are all things that have come into existence (or at least popularity) when I was old enough to notice. Call me spoiled, but I can't imagine how people lived!!!!! :o)

Sorry about the computer... know what you mean about missing it. Although, this is the first time I've read blogs in over a week: ) It was kind of nice to be a way from the computer and just enjoying life.

I know what you mean! So many things have spoiled us. I freak out when I can't find my phone or if my computer is on the fritz.

Taking a break from technology is good, 'tho. It helps remind you that life is all right w/o all the modern conveniences.

I don't know what I'd do if my computer died. I am beyond addicted. One of these days you're gonna have to ship me off to rehab.

I'm so addicted to blogs and my mommy board it's scary. I get the shakes thinking about being without them. Add my iPod and my flat iron to my list of must have gadgets.
