Unconnected and Enjoying Life!

    It is day 13 of the Ultimate Blogging Challenge and Nablopomo asked “How do you feel when you are unconnected to the internet?”  I don’t know about you but when I am unconnected here, I am more connected with life around me.  I am running around like a chicken with her head cut up trying to get all my chicks in a row and take care of business.

     This morning I was up at the butt crack of dawn racing for the bank and paying bills.  From there I visited Lowe’s for bug spray…the husband so loves to play exterminator and kill anything long and leggy that crawls!!  The way the bugs have been taking over this summer, his date with a huge jug of bug killer was long overdue.  We even had our brush with the bees. 

     
       A whole colony of the beasts decided to take up residence right across from my camper in the peak of our house.  They must have been busy because we discovered a huge hive literally crawling with bees.  My husband decided to rain on their parade and sprayed the living piss out of their home with the hose before knocking the hive to the ground with a rake.  Even now those crazy bees are still hanging about trying to figure out just what the hell happened.  They need to get a clue and move elsewhere instead of sticking around trying to repair what is left of their home.

      Even though I worked in a laboratory conducting quality control in my youth on diabetes test strips, I never thought that I would ever become quite so intent on test strips again without being paid for it.  Instead of in pursuit of the almighty dollar, I am obsessed with obtaining perfect swimming pool water.  So you will find me poolside daily testing the water for the levels of PH and whatnot.  For what, crystal clear pool water that doesn’t stink or cause itchy skin.  It is so worth it in the end!!  After a long day of rushing about getting things done there is nothing better than sinking into a nice cool swimming pool and cooling off.

       My husband and son race his remote control trucks, we ride the three wheeler, my daughter and I play badminton or what kind of looks like it and in the midst of it all, I still manage to do laundry, get the house clean, dishes done, and comments answered and reciprocated because that is the kind of girl I am.  I get ‘er done because I’m that kind of girl!! 

     When I am not connected to the internet I am knitting socks, reading books, cooking, playing card games with my kids, playing with my dogs, swimming, and just having a grand ole time.   Isn’t that what life is for…to enjoy?  That is what I do when I am not connected to the internet, and when I am I share the experience.
