what a concept

I tried something new this weekend. Something so outside the box for me, that it felt strange doing it.

I stayed off the internet. Completely. (okay, I checked email once on Saturday, but other than that, completely off)

If you follow me on Twitter, you know how absolutely tied to the internet I am. It's a sickness. But I decided on Friday night that this weekend was going to be I-Free because I needed to branch out. I needed to step outside my box. I needed a change up.

It's amazing the things I got done.

1. I saw both of my kids' soccer games
2. Went to a birthday party
3. Had afternoon drinks with my girlfriends
   
4. I watched part of the Razorback football game (couldn't stomach the whole thing)
5. I cleaned the kitchen
6. Did all the boys' laundry
7. Plotted out a new scene in current WIP
8. Got new tires and front end alignment on the Prelude
9. Went to the grocery store
10. Made chili
11. Made spice cake
12. Caught up on my Tivo'd shows

Okay, that's a lot of stuff. And not once did I miss the internet. Okay, that's a lie. I totally wanted to tweet but decided I needed to take a break from it all.

Do you ever find yourself in a weekend rut? Is there any way you could take a weekend off from status quo?
