But I think once I whittle down my queue, I'm going to take not just a day, but a whole WEEK away from the computer. At least.<BR/><BR/>Did I tell you Handy Man and I are taking the boybarians on a Historic Rt 66 trip? We are.<BR/><BR/>Sans. Computers. Well... maybe computers to unload the 1000s of pics we'll take. But sans internet.<BR/><BR/>I cannot wait.<BR/><BR/>xoxoxoDarcy @ m3bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00609223299545892479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212416519726161477.post-15162772175829839152009-04-01T22:04:00.000-04:002009-04-01T22:04:00.000-04:00Kimba,It was SO hard to stay off this silly comput...Kimba,<BR/>It was SO hard to stay off this silly computer!

LOL!<BR/><BR/>I didn't really do anything extra or "productive", but did have a realization. God showed me that I am NOT as important as I think I am. The world did not stop because I couldn't reply or post ASAP. Hmm...how about that? <BR/><BR/>The only thing I did miss that mattered in timing was that a two-yr old in my Sunday School class was admitted to the hospital late Thursday night with kidney cancer! (please pray for sweet Julia)However, her mom is an awesome blogger and made it easy to catch up with their progress. So, I figured I missed a 24-hr window to pray for Julia, however, again,was God just waiting for ME to pray? Of course not. Anyway, I will continue to be my blogless self for now and be content with that.<BR/>Thanks for the challenge, Kimba!NCJillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09667723124631987697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212416519726161477.post-21592634075318994722009-03-30T19:06:00.000-04:002009-03-30T19:06:00.000-04:00I did it too!

But that was it. I have to say it was nice not feeling like I HAD to read everyone's posts or check out my facebook page.

It took a lot of effort, but I didn't look at a single blog. I echo your sentiments about realizing how often you think about it. A lot more than I realized.
