Life without a computer!

Last week our computer was having difficulties and being the illiterate person I am (when it comes to computers) I didn't know what to do. It wouldn't even turn on. It was like it wasn't getting power, but all the cords were in the right place. Luckily, one of the kids in a Sunday School class that Brent and I taught was home for the weekend and came to work on it. It was really minor, but I wouldn't have known what to do (although, if it happens again, I now do.) Anyways, the whole point is: Do you realize how much you use your computer in a day. I had to balance my check book with the paper things they send in the mail. I had to pay my bills through the mail. No email, blogging, or my space. No getting a quick recipe, checking the weather, or any of the dozen other little things I do throughout the week on the computer. I wonder how we lived 10 years ago without computers, internet, cell phones, sidekicks and all the other tech we know use without a second thought. Maybe life would be easier:)!

I hear you. We have really learned to depend on the computer and all the other 'techie' things we have. I don't know what I'd do without mine! Missed you!

I get so bored without the internet! I can go without my cell phone though. I have a work phone and it rings at ALL hours of the night. So it can go. Good thing it was just your monitor too! I was wondering where you were.

I TOTALLY know what you mean...we were without the internet for two days and I thought I would go crazy!
