I enjoy blogging. I like Facebook.
But I would have never considered myself an internet junkie.
Until now.
For the third time in two weeks, we are without internet and phone service.
I am at my mom-in-laws to satisfy my "needs."
And in all sincerity, I am expecting three e-mails about times/meetings for this weekend.
It would be bad to show up at the wrong time somewhere.
But those three e-mails aside, it's really not a necessity to update my blog, read all the blog feeds, check facebook, or visit a website or two.
And the scary thing? I've gotten a whole lot more housework and projects done since our internet has been so skittish this last week. As much as a I love the world wide web, I am astounded at how much of my life it has absconded. Seriously.
Like chocolate and sweet tea, I'm not ready to give it up, but I am starting to wonder if it's time to enforce the "moderation in all things" mantra to my life.
Excess, indulgence, gluttony...they're all the same thing, aren't they?
He must increase; I must decrease.
I'm taking a deep breath as I type this, but I'm imposing a time limit for the computer this next week. Now if I can just figure out how to enforce it. :/

But if you're doing "religious" things then you don't need to feel bad about your Internet addiction. ;-)
If you get to feeling too bad about it then Mr. Bobby will have to install some software that limits you to X hours per day. Let me know if you need any help with that...
