I Am Going Offline

For a week.

But before I launch into that, I need to announce the winner of my Rock of Ages soundtrack CD giveaway… and the winner is…….. Kim — #4!!!! as chosen by the integer generator at RANDOM.ORG:

Yay Kim!!! Congratulations! I’ll drop you and email, you cute little winner, you!

Back to my offline-ness. I am going to go mostly offline for the next week. I am finding I need to take some time to reorganize, reprioritize, fall-back, regroup, take a break… basically take a little time to step back, pull my head out of the water, wipe my eyes and see where I’m at.

Given the state of the world as it is, I will need to check email. However, I will be looking at it minimally, only tending to fires and purging. I will have my cell phone, and will allow texting. However, I will not be Facebooking, Tweeting, Whrrling, Blipping, surfing, blog posting (have a couple of scheduled posts to keep the cobwebs at bay), blog reading, “researching”… yadda, yadda, yadda.

It will be an adjustment for sure, but I am excited. I am excited to tend to some things I realize I have allowed to fall to the side. I am excited to take this time to take a deep breath and make some decisions… Do I need to learn better balance, or do I need to cut some things? I just feel I need to be away for a bit to be able to take clear look. What do I want? What do I need? What kind of wife, mother, friend am I today? What kind of wife, mother, friend do I want to be? And most importantly — what kind of wife, mother and friend do my loved ones need?

I doubt this will be life-changing, but I hope good changes will come out of this time. I have recipes to try, places in my home to organize, a floaty-thing in the pool to float on, extra exercising to do because my hub’s 20 year class reunion is VERY soon and I have something to prove (kidding, not kidding, kidding… not…)… a puppy to train, and I have a job I have recently taken on and I have lots of phone calls to make… I may even steal a nap or two…

Yadda, yadda, yadda… I just feel all off-kilter and I think my little laptop is tired of me too.

You all have a wonderful week! Feel free to leave a comment… I love your comments! It’ll just be a few days before I get to them! Smiles and hugs. Pray for me… for the withdrawals to be painless, for progress, and perhaps some great ideas on balance. O.K., o.k., o.k., o.k. … I’m off. Peace.

Keep up on the ridiculous, the insightful, the always digressive…
