I love being online! One might say that I love being online just a tad too much. . . if one were my husband.
But a very strange thing happens when I go online ((cue twilight zone music)) Once I get on the Internet, I am sucked into a rift in the space time continuum. In this rift, time flows much differently than it does in the regular universe. . . . In this rift my spending “just a few minutes” online causes a strange quantum field to form around me and I somehow slip forward in time several hours in the blink of an eye!
It’s True!
The shock! The horror!
Due to this unfortunately STC Rift, when I have a project that really, really needs to be done* I find it best to avoid the computer all together. You, my dear readers, are the ones to suffer in these circumstances-as my lack of post today shows. **
Lest you be left completely post-less, I thought I would provide you with suggestions of articles you might enjoy from back in the archives:
Dealing with Plastic Baggies (yes, I’m one of THOSE-the frugalites who wash out baggies)
Starting Frugality (Reader’s Question)
Enjoy!
Note* Such as decluttering Princess’s bedroom and removing 1/3 of the toys and craft materials before she gets home. It is important that she does not see the actual removal process-if she does, she will protest that she absolutely, positively can’t live without any of it. Of course, if it is removed before returns home, she can’t even tell me what is missing.
Note** If I were more organized, I would have had a post written ahead, and scheduled to go. Yeah. Sometimes that happens.
I hear you, Jenn! I tend to get sucked in as well. I need to learn to just walk away:)
Good job, though, in winnowing out toys, etc!
Lately, my rifts in space and time have been connected to the rift that runs through Cardiff. And eventually they’re going to be connected to the TARDIS as well. *sigh* It doesn’t stop me from posting, but it slows me down because I have to watch.
LOL! It’d be nice if one could slip backwards in time as easily as forward. š
I think it’s a massive government conspiracy, because the phenomena you describe happens to me and EVERYONE I KNOW. Clearly, something sneaky is afoot.
Love it…explains everything! Of course, I still reserve the right to blame children and hormones…just in case the STC rift doesn’t quite cover everything! heehee
Jenn- I am in agreement. I need my STC when I need escape, it should just happen when everything is done. Plus my computer chair is comfy and a fav espcially after being on my feet all day:)
Whew! I’m glad that it isn’t just me š
