So Much Missed.

I purposely scheduled my disconnecting during a week when a) I would be super busy, b) my PC became half way dead, and c) I was not PMSing too much. Obviously that whole disconnecting exercise did not last very long because a week later when my iMac arrived I was online like a crazy maniac again. hehehehe. While I was disconnecting, I managed to connect better with some people, disconnect from others, see Wicked, watch my first USC Football game on TV and then my first home game at the Coliseum the following week, organize my room, have daily devotional time, go to church and SLEEP!

Disconnect/Reconnect
I think you can tell a lot about a person based on who their friends are. You can also tell a lot about a person by who they disconnect themselves from. It's funny how the week I was trying to "e-tox" was the week that several old friends contacted me via email/myspace/text. What the heck?

Wicked
OMG. I LOVED IT! I would totally see it again if anyone wants to go see it! I love the whole theater experience. The dressing up and driving to Hollywood and seeing a great musical! So great! I had to buy the soundtrack, and I've been listening to it practically every day at work.

USC Football
I love my Trojans, but what is going on with them!? The first home game that we attended was the USC vs. Washington State game. So much fun and it was a full house.


Room Organization
I wanted to make room for my new computer. While I managed to clean a lot off my desk and organize my closet, I'm still not finished with all the junk I have. I don't think I ever will be. It's worse than my desk at work.

Devotionals and Church
The spiritual side of me is struggling. I had two fairly decent weeks of quiet time and daily devotionals. When I was disconnecting, I was able to devote a little bit more time to that aspect, however I have not done very much of it since. Since the retreat, I have gone solo to church. I don't mind doing that so much because not having anyone to go with is a lame excuse for not going to church. It's especially true for me, who is a person who occasionally finds herself flying solo to parties and such. I prayed for a few weeks for God to give me the courage to ask someone to come with me to church. I was rejected, but that's okay. It didn't stop me from trying again last week. Spiritual health is very important and at some point he will go back. Until then, it will still be one of my many prayer requests.

Sleep
I slept a lot while I was waiting for my iMac. I knew that once it came I would not be sleeping all that much for a while. I've been averaging 4-5 hours a night. Who knew this computer could do so much! Pictures, Movies, Music. iLove!

So that's pretty much what happened during my brief moment of disconnecting. Now that I have my iMac and my Blackberry Curve, I am finding out that I am much more connected than I was before. The only difference is I am able to practice a little more self-control...at least I like to tell myself that I can. =)
