Ok, I am officially unplugging at 4pm on Saturday. That means no laptop, no cell, no TV, no electronic music. I will plug in again on Monday Morning.

Well, I better add one exception to the electronic music thing, I will experience electronic music during church this weekend, since we have screaming loud guitars at our cool church.

So until then, I am programming my nails down on the keyboard. I have lot to add to the BeeGreen site. Kristen has been very active this past week and has tons of updates for me to load onto her site.

I also have redesigned the Flint River Web Design site. It isn't ready to go yet, but I will have some of it up before I unplug tomorrow. I finally got of my duff and got a real domain for my web design business.

I also snagged a very nice photo of a young blond girl ( or is that Bond girl? ) on her laptop in a grassy field for the site header. Looks kinda sorta like Hannah, but not really. Hannah wouldn't let me take her pic, too busy driving "the car formally known as mine" around town.

Oh yeah, I am not off the grid, only unplugged. I am using light bulbs, hot water, and the microwave. I often dream of getting one of those yurt huts I see in Mother Earth News and living off the grid for awhile. There is a artist community in Argentina that looks very appealing. Those of you who know me well are now laughing, especially since I am such a electronic gadget freak.

Yes, go head, laugh at me!!!! The wonderful thing about being in your 40's is that you no longer are bothered by people laughing AT you. You actually like it since by 40 you have probably already had your fair share of tears and despair.

If anyone else can join me on this little experiment, please let me know. I would love to read your comments about the experience.

I think it goes without saying that I will be painting for much of my unplugged time, cuzz well duhhh, that is what I DO people. --Cindy
