One Month Sans Internet?? What?!?

Surely, you jest....


No, no, no.... Um, was that clear? No. :-)



Blogging. Twitter. Facebook. Overstock. Amazon. BN. Borders, DailyMile .... SURFING. What would I do?????



Hmmm... more time with family, friends, reading, writing (the old fashioned way).



Could I? Probably ... NOT. Would I? Absolutely NOT!



Could someone send me the # for IUA, please? Internet Users Anonymous... And I might need a ride. Wait, I have one more post to write. Can you come back in an hour?

The internet is definitely my Achilles heel. It wasn't so much until I had my very first summer off this year. I suspect readjusting to the real world in a few weeks will definitely be a shock!

By the way, thanks for stopping by my blog the other day. I really should do something with that one, maybe after I settle back into my work routine. Thought I would give you the link to the new one that is running-related.

I would have a tough time. I love the internet and use it for so much!

Kitzzy said...

Wait, I'm confused. Are you giving up the internet for a month or not?

I kinda want to do this, unplug ... but I think I'm only going to try it for 1 weekend! lol

Lisa said...

Seriously? I could never. The internet is my friend :)

Shannon said...

I couldn't do it!

Robin said...

LOL... No, Kitzzy - I'm definitely NOT giving up the Internet - for one month or one minute! Yikes! Bite your tongue. :)

I found a new (to me) writing tool today via my wordpress blog: plinky.com, with a new prompt each day. It's fun and links to my blogger blog. FUN! And yes, it's ANOTHER internet site to cruise!

Glad to know I'm not the only one who might need IUA!! LOL

Oooo, that is a cool site! Thanks for sharing the info with us!

I'd have a tough time unplugging for a whole month. I had limited access back in February during my vacation, and that was pretty difficult. Although, after a few days, that "feeling like I'm missing something" feeling did fade.

No way. I didn't even have a computer until I was in college but now I would be lost without it. I would give up the TV and the phone before internet!

Emz said...

Oh man. I couldn't do that. CRAZY. I work online. My business revolves around it....that's my excuse anyway.

Irene said...

Hilarious picture!

Everything is 'net based now. I could get along without being connected, but from a safety standpoint I would probably not be without a cell phone -- and my cell phone is basic. I don't have all those cool apps.

It would be awful at first, but I think I would start to like it :)

I'll just pick u up on my way to IUA!, I was on my way anyway and would love the company! Can we sneak in a WIFI hotspot on the way, I'll bring my laptop;0)

Before the internet I thought I couldn't live without my tv for a long time. But now it's the internet. Although I can live without it for a week or 2 but only if I'm on vacation.

About Galloway; I'll keep writing about my experiences with it on my blog and I already checked out his website and signed up for the newsletter :)

Laura said...

Oh no! I'd be gutted without the internet too :-(

Jill said...

If I didn't have my fix of the internet, I'd probably have to go to a mental hospital. I did have to cut back on FB and dailymile b/c I was MIA from my kid's lives, but I still love to look and and lurk what everyone's doing. And could never get rid of blog world :).

HUGS :) :) :)
