Unplug for a Day in May

I have a set group of blogs that I read through every single day, the majority of them are scrapbook related because they make me happy. I have a bookmark in my browser (I love Firefox) that's titled "daily inspiration" and I open ALL of them at once, go through one by one, closing the ones I've read, keeping open the ones I need to go back to and read again. Today, there are 23 sites in the folder. This changes sometimes on a weekly basis, I'll add a few, remove a few - depending on what is inspiring me at the time. I have my favorites of about 15 that won't ever be removed. It takes me about 15 minutes to go through them while I drink my morning coffee - and then I'll keep a few open to continue to look at as I have breaks at work.

Anyway, during my morning session today, on Stacy Julian's page, I read about this movement to UNPLUG. I'm happy to report that I plan to do this some Friday when I am off work - sometime this month. It may be this week, it may be at the end of the month. But I AM going to do this and then blog about it on June 1st. When I first read it, I thought - hey, I do this every weekend when I'm not at work. But the reality is, I check email several times a day on the weekend, I peruse a few blogs, there's always something on the computer that I "need" to look up or at. I'm not bad about my cell phone - if you know me, you know I can easily live without that! TV is really only watched on Monday nights for CBS comedy shows - and those are taped for later viewing. So really, it's just letting go of the computer that will be tough for me. I'm looking forward to this, though.
