Today’s looking not so bad for a day that started out wrong. Two sunshiny walks with Nano worked wonders, as did two solid hours of nose-to-the-screen writing. I’ve found that lo, though we have an office, I worked better surrounded by tea and apples on our kitchen table with the internet shut off at the base. No cheating, Cavouras! I am my own worst boss but I was a good girl today. And even Tuesday where I actually stared at the screen (no lie!) for two hours and wrote about – lemme check – 150 words. So today = doubleplusgood.
Feeling guilty that there’s a Department of City Planning meeting in my neighborhood about their zoning/re-zoning plans and I’m not going. I should get involved with the world around me, Goal #329 for 2008! But I also want to be home making dinner and singing silly songs at Nano, sorry Community.
Anyone else tempted to try Electrolicious’s Unplugged project? I am, mostly because I suspect I will utterly fail. No screens would mean I’d finish that scarf and write letters and go to bed early. Whaddya think? Want to do it with me? I am a pack animal.

I’m trying the Unplugged project with my hubs. Two weeks in. It’s going… ok.
The day of the first night we did it, I was feeling nervous. Oh noes! What will we do with ourselves? It is silly thinking of that now. The night was fine. We made a slightly more elaborate dinner that night (which is to say it involved actual chopping and non-microwave cooking). We played some Scrabble – not Scrabulous for a change. And we read. It was awesome.
This week we kind of did our own thing instead of doing something together. I organized a shelf and read a little and started to knit, but realized I messed up (too tired to concentrate/count) so I had to pull it out.
Next week I’m going to focus on my Modern Letter Project letters. I’m so excited!
I don’t have a blog which is why you got an explanation here in comments. I hope you try it. I’d love to hear how it goes.
Alyce – Thanks! It sounds great. I have to say I’m in such awe of you Modern Letters people; I don’t have the craftiness inherent to make it work, but I always want to try. I’m afraid if I opt in, people will be really disappointed with what they get from me but perhaps if I combine the pursuit with Unplugged nights, I’ll have the time and the inspiration to pick up pretty things around me and craft beautiful letters.
