We did it.
We survived almost two weeks with no Internet.
It was touch and go for a few days there. I wasn't sure I could hold out much longer, or that the so called love of my life would be able to survive my constant comments and texts every time I had need of our non-existent wireless.
(I am not bitchy, really. It just sounds that way sometimes when I talk.)
But we did it.
In hind sight, maybe it wasn't so bad...
The kids crawled out of their rooms, bleary eyed and confused at what else the world might hold beyond laptops and iPods.
We read more books.
We played Aggravation.
(the board game not the emotion)
We all bought bikes.
I finally wrote an ending to Tango which some people have been nagging me about for weeks... maybe longer.
And yes, I even resorted to doing some laundry...
though I don't know why I bothered...
it already needs doing again.
But not a day went by that I didn't start a task only to realize (and quickly point it out to the so-called love of my life) that it couldn't be done without the use of a little piece of techno-magic called the Internet.
I doubt I will ever fully grasp the concept of how it all works... how the entire world can reside at my fingertips for the using, but I know for sure that I never want to live without it.
