Addictions

My mom once told me her family came with very addictive tendencies. I can so see that in me, also. My computer crashed last week. It came, as always, at the most inopportune time. This time it was an hour after a very persistent Kirby dealer wouldn't leave our house without us purchasing this fabulous product he had. I could have cried when my computer turned into a 1970's television screen...a blotchy, black and white scrambled mess.

We aren't without a computer--we had two laptops. My husband and I would put the kids to bed, settle in on the couch in front of the TV, and "surf" away doing mindless activities. Sometimes we would coordinate our searches, compare our findings, and discuss different events. The only time we DIDN'T have the computers on was if we were watching a movie, maybe once every other month.

Now we have to share. And we have to take a look at our mindless activities. What one deems important, the other seems worthless. It will probably be good for us. It WILL be good for us.

  1. Hmm... it does sound good! In a junky sort of growing good way. :) Still, I've missed chatting with you and hope yours gets fixed.

  2. So did the Kirby man make his sale, and did he clean your rug for free?

  3. Yes, the Kirby man made his sale. And he cleaned my rug. It is a great product, but it was just so much more money than I had wanted to spend. Then when I lost my computer those missing funds seemed to have made a bigger inpact. :(
