welcome to 2005
Happy New Year, everyone!
Okay — going to be VERY random for today, as I took Larissa’s drink and cleanse thing way too literally. Am still waiting for that healing, shiny outlook feeling that was all but assured to me to occur because right now things just hurt.
I downloaded MinTimer as per Maili who provided me with this link from the discussion Sylvia started about regulating online time. Ignored my computer telling me it could not verify the source of the timer and warning me not to download (here’s hoping IT guy is not reading blog anytime soon) Obviously, I have not tried to regulate my online time yet, since I’m here, but I’m testing it out today because…
Today is day 1 of the WORD A Month challenge. Blame Cece. (love you, Cece, really - I know this is a good thing — I need accountability and some serious ass-kicking to stay on track) Sylvia is trying to drag the members of the *thisclose* club over to the pubbed camp with her, which, as I mentioned on her message board, sounds suspiciously like boot camp.
I will, of course, perk up if there are SEALs involved in the pubbed boot camp. 
What else, what else…Oh — Sharon had me giggling (would laugh but the head hurts too much for that) with her, ‘it’s all about me’ statement. The three year old disagrees with her heartily, since she owns a t-shirt that proclaims it is all about her. (I own the matching flip-flops, so yeah, she’s definitely mine) But she is so much easier to entertain, as all she needs is Elmo.
So Sharon, let me ask you, how do you feel about wolves…

Steph — really easy way to limit online time. Disconnect the wireless or modem.
Good luck with boot camp.

*sniff*
disconnect?
*sniffs again and wonders if she has major internet addiction/procrastination problem*

Well, about the wolves. I always wondered why they were so damned hungry. I mean a mere 24 hours ago they had nice cozy cages with nice regular meals. Which is better than the homeless population of New York is guaranteed, and yet I saw no rabid homeless New Yorkers out scarfing on the dead bodies in the snow.
But I’m sure it can be tracked back to the same carelessness that caused the ice age in the first place. All that hairspray used in the 80s.

…have now combined ‘wolves’, ‘hairpsray’ and ’80’s’ in my mind and am picturing wolves with big 80’s metal-bands hair. And am ROFL. Perhaps this nicely coifed pack of wolves would fit somewhere in your current WIP?
(obviously, this MinTimer needs to come with arms that can forcibly grab and stop me from clicking onto the internet, yes?)

*gasp!* Disconnect MY MODEM??? If my head didn’t hurt so bad from my hangover, I’d hyperventilate. I’ll just save that for tomorrow…

Disconnet?! I don’t think I could survive. But I do need to monitor my time better. Maybe this timer is a good idea.

The D word made my hands tremble in fear!!!!
hey Hey….I never used aqua net! :::ggg::: okay only for the bon jovi concert

Cece - I loved BonJovi…altho I was more of a Guns N’Roses / Def Lepard gal myself. Throw in a touch of Motley Crue and a bit of Duran Duran and I’m in 80’s flashback Heaven…(altho I did go to my share of Dead concerts, so I’m not sure exactly how that all fits in. Must have inhaled too much hairspray, which fits Sharon’s theory nicely)

am also glad to see that other people have same horror at though of disconnecting modem (should it make me so happy to note others have same addiction I do?)
Linda - am thinking you should never again attempt to disconnect your modem…look at what you’ll miss. You don’t want to escape us, do you?
