Hiatus Talk

Bonjour! I hope everyone's doing well. Not too much exciting news from the last couple days. I went hiking yesterday and saw about a gazillion frogs. Seriously, they were everywhere. There were just a lot of bugs in general, too. But that's not exciting. I had my final chiropracter visit today... I'm going to miss getting cracked, but that's ok. Doctors are too expensive.

So anyways, maybe you remember my mention of doing a technology hiatus a couple posts back. Well, it starts at midnight tonight and runs until 12 AM on Wednesday, 08/23. Here's what my hiatus entails: no computer, no TV, and no iPod. For those of you who don't spend much time around me, you may not know that I am pretty much constantly connected to one of these three things. It's a sick addiction. I've outlined 5 goals that I have for this time off. Here they are:

1. To break my addiction to these things.
2. To give my brain a rest from constant stimulation.
3. To have a time to just read and do others things that actually nourish my mind.
4. To cut out (at least some) distraction so I can listen to/talk to God.
5. To have time to do things that actually matter!

So there you have it. I obviously won't be blogging for the next two weeks, but since I am still allowed to use the phone (one thing I'm not addicted to... maybe because my sister's the only person who ever calls me), I will be calling in an audio post for the words of the week on Sundays. But that's all you'll be hearing for the next two weeks. I know, that's no great tragedy for you, but I'm really going to have a tough time without these things. I can feel the withdrawal shakes starting already. :) Alrighty, folks, I don't really have a whole lot else to say. I guess this is the end. I'll be back in a couple weeks with a nice, long, reflective post about hiatusville. Au revoir, mes petits chemins.
